Family room - coastal family room idea

From the kitchen, one peeks through beautifully detailed millwork framing the entrance to a two story family room wood beamed ceiling, soaring fieldstone fireplace and magnificent chandelier. French doors lead to the rear patio. Pocket doors smartly conceal the playroom and sunroom, which serve as a direct access way to the pool area and the beautiful wraparound veranda. The gunite pool has a built in spa and underwater sundeck, as well as custom “stadium” seating. The pool and granite pool patio area (granite stays cooler than bluestone) are highlighted by the pool house with full bath and changing facilities and entertaining bar area. An additional secondary front entrance to the home features a mudroom with command center, cubbies for coats and boots, a black slate floor with radiant heating, access to the oversized three car garage and a back staircase with extra storage underneath accessed by a “hidden door”. The second floor features the master bedroom suite with tower siting room, fireplace, built-ins and custom dressing rooms.

As avid boaters, the homeowners wanted a sophisticated nautical feel, so the defining feature in this bathroom is a custom architectural cast glass shower enclosure with an underwater scene, including turtles, fish, seaweed, coral and an octopus. A soothing blue color for the walls, “Oyster Desert Gold” slate tile for the floors and shower and natural wood for cabinets were selected to accent the organic feel of this space.

Pondless streams and waterfalls are unique, maintenance-free water features which have been growing rapidly in popularity all over Southern California. Switch-operated, homeowners can turn pondless water features on and off, making them extremely energy efficient. When they are turned on, water will cascade down your custom rockscape and “magically” disappear into a small rockbed. This water is stored in an underwater basin. When the water feature is off, it is still aesthetically pleasing, carrying the appearance of a dry rockbed.

Ecosystem Ponds are the crown jewel of the Water Feature world. They soon become the centerpiece of your landscape. These low-maintenance, natural-looking water gardens work with Mother Nature, not against her, to stay clean and clear without using chemicals or UV sterilizers or anything artificial. The key is the symbiotic relationship between the Pond Fish, the beneficial bacteria, and the Aquatic Plants. There is no sound in nature quite as relaxing as moving, falling water. It soothes away your stress at the end of a long day and you instantly start to feel more relaxed. Watching the Koi and other Pond Fish gracefully swimming around and nibbling from the underwater rocks and gravel can be almost hypnotizing. A variety of birds come to drink and bathe in the stream and colorful dragonflies flit here and there on mosquito patrol. Water lilies bloom in almost every color you can imagine and you'll soon see that frogs really DO sit on lily pads! Having one of these Ponds in your landscape is like coming home every day to a private vacation retreat right in your own backyard! Texas Ponds and Water Features creates some of the most beautiful and natural looking Ecosystem Ponds and Water Gardens in the Austin and Central Texas area. We also work in the Houston, Southeast Texas area and almost anywhere in between.

This project is a fairly expansive business park in the South Dayton area. We illuminated all of the entryway monuments, park common areas and waterfalls. All of these areas were illuminated with a variety of high and low voltage lighting.

Texas swimming pool designer Mike Farley takes you to the design of a Colleyville residential Lazy River project that has already won multiple awards and was featured on HGTV "Cool Pools". This pool has it all - outdoor kitchen, multiple waterfalls, rain falls, bridges, an elevated spa on an island surrounded by the river, basketball, luxury cave, underwater speakers, and they converted a stall of the garage to make a bathroom with a dry sauna & walkin dual shower. Project is designed by Mike Farley and constructed by Claffey Pools. Check out Mike's Pool Tour Video series at FarleyPoolDesigns.com. Photo by Laura Farley
