Pub at Sand Creek Country Club

WHERE

Chesterton, Indiana

WHEN

February 2024

WHAT

Country Club Remodel

When asked to redesign the pub at the Sand Creek Country Club we knew we had to go old school.

Our vision was to harken back to the old days when country club bars were dark smoke filled rooms with rich leather seating.

How does one create a classic moody pub on a shoestring budget? The options to gut the room and start anew were out of the question, thus came the decision to rely on interior design tools that have a large ROI. Firstly came design tool with the largest bang for the buck... the paint. For that Benjamin Moore's Boreal Forest, After the paint came reupholstering the grey restaurant banquet seating with a rich tufted cognac leather. With the addition of antique brass bar pendants and wall sconces along with natural walnut acoustic slat panels (for the noise) the look was almost complete!

Behind the wall is a sleek white quartz bar top, illuminated by four Hinkley Lighting Somerset 1-Light 12" Wide Pendants with etched opal glass. The center of the bar features acoustic wood wall paneling in a walnut finish, adding both style and sound absorption to the space.
