Turns out these drawings may be for naught: the room may only be about 18' to 19' wide. 18' leaves literally no room for a stroke on a cue ball against the head or foot rail and 19' leaves only six inches (100" playing surface, 58" standard cue). That re-revised image is after the jump.

I went to Lowe's today to pick up an ice chipper and I swung by the paint chip section. I picked out the ideal green and only when I got home did I notice that it was called "Billiard Room." 🙂

I'm thinking that it might be pretty nifty to go with one of the fake wood floors. Wood + dark green + white slants and a ceiling might look pretty snazzy. The only problem I foresee there is perhaps too much "wood." My pool table is oak, too. Anyway, the decorating is largely Carey's call.

I dropped by Best Buy today too to get some information on speakers and stereo components. It seems I'd have to spend quite a bit of cash ($250 + $250) for a receiver AND a CD player capable of putting out sound to four or 5.1 speakers. That's not something I want to do on the off chance we'll turn the room into a theater room in 20 years - our great room is, pardon the pun, great for watching movies already. So, I may run the wires (that's relatively cheap), but a little boom box + airport express will suffice for now. I may even wall mount two of the speakers on the inside wall of the house to get them out of the way. I could even hide the actual stereo behind a little door or something. I'll talk with the builder about that…

So, anyway, the room may get flipped to look a bit more like this:

Doing this will also open up the space for a little more table tennis action, about which Carey's mom is mildly excited.
