Sustainable humor...

From Eluvium.

I'd recommend looking over her site, but then I would see you for the next 12 hours. Pretty original, considering what's out there (hey, I'm not afraid to admit that I'm a right-click addict).

From meatballs to pool halls...

You've got to admit, pool tables are an obnoxious void of space.

Nothing screams I'm holding on to my bachelordom or I had a tax return to blow more than a big felted monster in a living room/basement/garage conversion.

But alas, they're fun.

It's the kind of "extra" you never want to have, but it never hurts to know somebody that has one. Unless they're moving, of course, because we all know that there's not enough beer and pizza in the world to help someone move slate. Same goes for sleeper sofas. Same goes for California King mattresses.

And aesthetically, while there are quite a few tables on the market that could (possibly) add some beauty to a modern room, like this luxury table featured on Trendir...

...or this impeccably restored Brunswick Monarch from Billiard Restoration...

...most, however, come up short.

But even if you had a Monarch or a Tresserra planted next to your wet bar, 99.5% of the time, when not in use, you'd still be stuck with a big felt carpet-weight crushing your cashmere (actually even if I could afford this table, I could never justify buying cashmere carpet).

So what's a pool player to do?

Move a Fusion Table in to your loft...

...or dining room...

...enjoy your meal and then slide back the top to reveal...

...an evening of fun.

The best part? It turns back to a table when you're finished. No more slate eyesores.
