This featured space is really something special. It was originally the home’s media room , but as the client's needs evolved, so did the space. The new tavern was renovated to focus on entertaining and socializing, while the media experience was reimagined elsewhere.

Not every home has the luxury of a space dedicated to a tavern and that’s exactly what makes this renovation so special.

At the center of the space is a true multitasker, a pool table that easily converts into a ping pong table, poker or card table, and even a dining or hosting table. This flexibility ensures the room adapts to the moment, making it equally suited for game nights, parties, or relaxed evenings with family and friends.

Throughout the renovation, it was essential to maintain the home’s existing Texas Western aesthetic. Rich textures, warm tones, and rugged yet refined details help the tavern feel authentic to the house as a whole never themed, always intentional. The result is a space that feels timeless, comfortable, and perfectly at home within its surroundings.

By enhancing functionality and flow, this space now feels effortless to use whether it’s a casual weeknight hang or a full house of guests. Refrigerated drawers were seamlessly integrated, keeping drinks and snacks easily accessible without disrupting the design, and elevating the hosting experience without the need to leave the room.

Traditionally, tavern-style rooms can feel more novelty than necessity, often reserved for special occasions and left unused day to day. In this home, the goal was to flip that script.

Complementing the tavern is a newly remodeled attic space transformed into a dedicated media room. Designed for immersive viewing, the walls are clad in acoustic paneling to enhance sound quality and minimize noise transfer throughout the home. This thoughtful detail ensures movie nights feel cinematic while still respecting the rest of the household.
