Pool Is Done Let's Dive in!



We finally loaded our newly plastered pool with 1400 lbs of salt yesterday.  I couldn't believe the amount of salt that had to dissolve, but it did and now everyone can come swim! I like how the pebble plaster cured to a medium dark blue it's just the tone I was looking for. We also repainted that poor old cabana  Benjamin Moore's Stonington Gray, and went for a blue, white and gray theme. Kept it simple and dog friendly!  Now the next project is that  bare bar area... but one thing at a time! Now just a few more accessories, and ottomans are temporary, I put them out for my Mom to put her feet up since she was heading over! Thinking maybe some fun white leather poufs!!
Thought I would share results, hope you like it!

  4. Love the colors.

    It's ironic when I choose client pool color. The 'wrong' choices are taken away first.

    Voila, the right choice is left.....
