So now that I just closed on our house (just 2 hours ago 
). My mind has turned to the possibility of creating my own custom set for my poker room. My felt will be in and my table done in the next couple weeks and I'm in the process of decorating things all of which including the chips would be a long term project.
So my first question to everyone is this. I've been mulling the idea of either doing a full custom set (CPC, custom labels designed etc) or just doing a relabel with custom labels matching my poker room theme over some nicely selected Paulsons and piece together a set that way. After doing some research it doesn't seem like I'd be too far out on price going with either, with the cost probably going a little higher on the relabel just depending on which chips I choose for my project. Which option do you think would be better? With the CPC route I'm terrible at selecting good looking spot patterns and such so I'd have to find someone to either do it for me or help. With the labels I'd for sure need someone to design them with either route.
My second question is this. Would it be best to get the labels designed now and then either design the chips around or at least taking the design into consideration for both or would it be best to get my chips and then have someone work on the design.
My third question is about the poker room itself. My theme of everything is Notre Dame University. I'm a huge Notre Dame fan, have been my whole life. I want a "name" for my poker room like so many others have for their rooms. My friends have resorted to calling it "The Golden Dome Lounge" after the nickname that Notre Dame players have as "Golden Domers" or just "Domers" I'm not sure if I like it. SO I was wondering if you guys had any good ideas.
I have a distinct idea/theme I want but thats about it. I'm very open to ideas.
