The pool is a Biotop Natural Pool system. Devore says that the sand filtration system makes chemicals unnecessary. “One of the differences is that the water isn’t crystal clear, although you can see the bottom. In this pool the blue plaster at the bottom of the pool gives it its blue color,” she says. “People love swimming in it. It’s kind of like swimming in a quarry or a freshwater lake.”

Is there anything more magical than a swim at night? Yes, there is. A swim at night when you have glow-in-the-dark tiles lighting up your pool. Glowing tiles can also mark where a shallow ledge ends — handy where children are in residence. Fluorescent tiles: Foreverpools
There’ll be no more running over bikes or toys left lying about in the driveway when it glows in the dark! Starpath is a spray-applied elastomeric coating for concrete, tarmac, wood and other materials that absorbs and stores energy from sunlight during the day, then releases this energy at night, making the particles glow. “This product adjusts to the natural light, so if it is pitch black outside, the luminous natural earth enhances, and if the sky is lighter, it won’t release as much luminosity,” says distributor Hamish Scott of Pro-Teq Surfacing. “It adjusts accordingly, almost like it has a mind of its own.”

Painting the joists can also help create texture. A blue porch ceiling is fairly common, especially in the southern United States, but you’ll see a soft, sky blue used more often than not. Try amping up the intensity with a deeper, watery blue such as the one in the room seen here. Get a similar look with Surfer from Sherwin-Williams.

Palladian Blue from Benjamin Moore is the perfect shade of Haint Blue, traditionally used on porch ceilings throughout the South.
Blue-green is the traditional color for porch ceilings in the South. Originally thought to ward off evil spirits, this hue likely has remained popular more for its effortless charm and relaxing, tropical vibe. Keep the mood mellow and stay comfy in hot weather with an outdoor ceiling fan or two.

Farmhouse Style: 1. The wraparound porch. An outdoor living space, the porches was traditionally used as a mudroom or a place for getting respite from the heat when it was too hot inside during the summer. It eventually became a place for enjoying shared moments with family and friends, rocking away the time while taking in the evening air. Get this look: Don't have a wraparound porch? A porch, patio, balcony or stoop of any size can still help you get the farmhouse look. Rockers and country flowers are classic, but if you're short on space, a rustic planter filled with wildflowers will set the tone.
