Bathroom - bathroom idea in Boston

The hedgehog is the gardener’s friend (it snacks on pests, and is so cute) and our playful Hedgehog Planter is one, too. Finished to have the look of aged stone, it’s actually created with more durable (and lighter in weight) manmade materials. Large 24-gallon planter is crafted of magnesia, which is similar to resin. The small 6-gallon planter is a polyresin composite. The more dimensional, sculpted-looking exterior design of the body suggests the spines of a real hedgehog. With its long nose poised to delicately sniff any greenery, our playful planter makes a good home for air plants and succulents, and adds charm to any setting. No drain hole.

We removed the existing concrete decking and adjacent interlock. We installed a new 8’ cantilever white acrylic step with separate air vented jets. We installed 2 new LED Aqualamp lights, new plumbing and a liner track for Cantilever deck. The deck is stamped concrete with a contrasting 1’ cantilever concrete nosing around the perimeter and around the step. We provided drainage between the stone retaining walls and the concrete deck. The liner is full print with no border. A new ladder and diving board were installed. We automated the system with an Omni variable speed pump so the pool pump, lights and heater could be operated from a smartphone . Photography supplied by Jackson House Photography
