This last weekend we braved the weather and put up with an hour of traffic to see what was new in decor and design at the St. Louis 30th Annual Builders Home & Garden Show. We found plenty!

A.E. Schmidt Billiard Co. is just about to release their new Carsten Dining Table and it is like no other.  Inspired by a family that had no room for a dining table and pool table this table doubles as both. With seating for 8-12 people, the Carsten table is modern, and elegant with clean lines and a simple design. It certainly looks a lot more fun than your normal everyday dining table and is just as beautiful as a normal dining room set.

Available in the standard Oak or Maple, with 12 stain options and 30 cloth colors, this innovative table retails for about $6000. You can certainly customize your table as well with different wood choices and sizes. Delivery on this specialty item is approximately 6-8 weeks, like most custom furniture, but is well worth the wait if you don’t have the room for both.
