Everybody Into the Pool
THE DARK BROWN leather-rimmed pool table covered in green felt is a classic. However, it will make your house look like a bar -- either a dive bar or a fern bar, depending on its condition. Insulate yourself from both of these pernicious decor choices with a Waterfall pool table from Olhausen Billiards (from $8,250, olhausenbilliards.com). A modern masterpiece, it's shown here in hard maple appointed with red worsted cloth, but since each of these tables is custom-made, you can design yours down to the material on the pockets.
