Custom Poker Table Man Caves creates a poker table Vegas legend Benny Binion would love. From "Man Caves" episode DMCV-103

Tony "Goose" Siragusa leaves behind a reminder in the poker room—remember, it's the thought that counts!

When it comes to playing cards, who wouldn't want at touch of Vegas, baby, in his man cave? Larry Cannalonga and his "508" pals sure would, and DIY's Man Caves crew, including hosts Jason Cameron and Tony "Goose" Siragusa, came through with flying "Texas Hold 'em" colors.

A two-tone paint theme with chair rail, carpet tiles and an acoustical ceiling are featured in the room, but the special touch is a portrait of the Goose, a gift from the former NFL star to Larry and his friends.

In Day One (see "Prepping the Man Cave" under Related Articles, below) the Man Caves team, Larry and his friends put up the walls.

In Day Two (see "Ultimate Celtics Fan's Bar" under Related Articles, below) the state-of-the-art Celtics fan's bar was constructed.

In Day Three the first project is to paint the poker room and install the chair railing.

	Tip: A trick to make a small room look bigger is by painting it with a two-tone look with a deeper color painted on the lower half of the wall and a lighter tone on the upper half. Homeowner Larry Cannalonga is getting the job done here.
	Host Jason Cameron says a chair rail not only makes the two colors pop, it also gives the room a nice finished touch.

Two-Tone Room, Paint and Chair Rail

Materials:

paint
paintbrushes and/or rollers
1 x 4 wood material
level

1. Before painting you must prime your wall with a nice even coat. Let dry.

2. Measure the wall and determine the location where the two tones will meet. With a pencil lightly draw a straight line across the wall with the help of a level.

3. Paint accordingly and let dry.

4. Measure the room and take the chair rail material, which is generally a 1 x 4 wood material, and cut accordingly.

5. Sand, paint or stain prior to installation for a finished look.

6. Install using a level and your pencil line for reference. Nail the chair rail into the wall's studs by using finishing nails.
