pool house

when i spotted this pool house in the april issue of atlanta homes magazine, immediately thought several things:
1. WHAT the what?? this is a pool house?
2.  this is the prettiest pool house i have ever laid eyes on.
3.  i'm insanely jealous of whoever lives here, but i secretly wished they were my friend 
or close relative, so i could come over and enjoy it.
4. and by "enjoy it" i mean "live in it for a year...or two".
have a look...and i dare you not to feel a tinge of jealously.
 architecture by henry sprott long and associates.
 ummm...hmmm. jealous yet?
 interior design by phoebe howard.
i really love the flooring choices...the herringbone slate in the living area and these pebble stones in the bathroom are textural, classic and beautiful.
schumacher's "chenoneau" at the windows.
i love the orkley island chair...rustic yet refined.
the textures are really beautiful.
i love how the slight curve at the top of the armoire is repeated in the lantern.
the grey blue painted panels are a nice touch in the kitchen, 
and the lanterns add a casual flair.

oh, and right now, the foundary has some great
aluminum side tables on sale for between $75-139.
they are under the tab "posh home accents".
here are a few:




happy shopping!
