This beautiful custom pool has functionality, gorgeous lines, matches the formality of the house but still lends itself to socializing and kid friendly attractions. The custom built slide and sunshelf are perfect for the younger ones while the custom steps and bench seating is great for socializing. The patio is done in a Techo-bloc Paver, the coping is a sandstone. I designed this pool when I was working for my former employer. This customer is a client of Vue Custom Pools now.

PebbleTec® Tahoe Blue pool built by Texas Pools. Builder Paul Ryan said,“They were anticipating a 'country cottage' feel to this home when they purchased it. They were never really happy with it, until the pool showed up! The pool needed to feel like a meandering stream as it made its way down to the lower level. Views were important, and keeping the rear pond view was paramount. So, by manipulating the shape of the pool, adding an oversize flag stone shelf in the water, and providing a soothing 'trickling' waterfall, the image was complete. From the rear patio it looks and feels like you are sitting next to a back country stream. The design of the house was a bit unusual in that the rear patio angled back towards the other side of the house. This made it extremely difficult to design the pool in such a way that it seemed to be a meandering stream and still make it a functional swim space. The large flagstone tanning shelf did the trick and added that little bit of extra realism for the home owners.”

Custom rectilinear swimming pool with large tanning ledge, cascading pool steps and a raised spa that sits at the end of the pool with a waterfall spilling from its center. Outdoor living area includes a high-end cedar deck and pergola with custom built-in seating and storage and a two-level paver patio.

**Featured in Home & Design Magazine! The inspiration for this unique project draws on the clients’ love of Paris and the city’s vibrant romanticism and mix of architectural styles. Our challenge was to elevate builder-grade finishes in a newly-constructed townhome to create an urban retreat with aged patina for this young couple. Soft industrial elements were layered over Old-World inspired details on nearly every surface for maximum impact. We added rustic wood ceilings and industrial beams to create drama, texture, and value throughout. A Parisian-inspired glass/iron wall divider relieves the open concept floor plan, creating a more intimate seating space. Oversized pendants of steel, blown glass, horsehair and faux horn provide soft illumination while drawing the eye upward to architectural ceiling details. Custom midnight blue built-ins create a library that frames the entry and study. The deep and dramatic color palette of paint and wallpaper that adorns the walls is a vibrant mix of cobalt, citron, teal and smoky lavender. Light pours into the rooms from the large windows, reflects off the oversized acid-wash mirror, and forms dramatic shadows on the walls, setting the mood for this home.

Dining room - mid-sized coastal medium tone wood floor dining room idea in Boston with blue walls

The Madekas of Cypress are enjoying this freeform designed pool. It has a raised wall with scuppers, a spa with spillway, tanning ledge with gushers, and in-pool bar stools. It also has a travertine coping, surrounded by an artificial turf trim (turtle not included).

The main entry has a marble floor in a classic French pattern with a stone base at the wainscot. Deep blue walls give an elegance to the room and compliment the early American antique table and chairs. Chris Cooper photographer.

This transitional style kitchen design in Gainesville has an eye catching color scheme in cool shades of gray with vibrant accents of blue throughout the space. The gray perimeter kitchen cabinets coordinate perfectly with a matching custom hood, and glass front upper cabinets are ideal for displaying decorative items. The island cabinetry is a lighter shade of gray and includes open shelves at both ends. The design is complemented by an engineered quartz countertop and light gray tile backsplash. Throughout the space, vibrant pops of blue accent the kitchen design, from small accessories to the blue chevron patterned glass tile featured above the range. The island barstools and a banquette seating area also feature the signature blue tones, as well as the stunning blue sliding barn door. The design is finished with glass pendant lights, a Sub Zero refrigerator and Wolf oven and range, and a wood look tile floor.
