Dream Pool For Swimming in the Summer

April 2, 2011
  • Share
Backyard with a large pool, grassy lawn, lounge chairs, and a wall made of plants

I want to be here.  I do. This is my dream pool. Wouldn’t this be a great place to spend a weekend day? Pool for swimming and gazing, green lawn for walking barefoot, hedges for privacy and a lush backdrop, umbrellas for shade and lounger chairs for lounging. Oh, I would need butler service too to make it complete… 🙂

Today is my beauty day…facial, hair, nails and anything else I might do to pretty up a bit. One must take time to maintain! Right?

Where is your ideal weekend spot? What are your weekend plans? Any decorating in the mix?

Happy Saturday!

    my ideal weekend spot is anywhere with friends and family! But ideally, in a warm place that look a lot like your picture! I live in NYC though, so it takes a little escaping. your blog is so inspirational! New Follower!

    best, tamra

    Very lush and serene!
    I could spend a whole weekend lounging there… who cares about hair and nails if you can hang here… 🙂

    So glad you found and shared this! That’s the Hampton’s garden of designer Laura Day (of Laura Day Living), and one of our favorite photographers, Nancy Nolan, took the pic. Beautiful house too.

    I need to be lying beside this pool! Really and truly I do. Since that’s not happening in my world any time soon, I think I’m going to go take a nap and dream about lying beside this pool.

    Stylishly yours,
    Kalyn

    Reminds me a lot of the Viceroy Santa Monica. One of the best Sunday Brunches in LA…& the best when your a guest and can relax by the pool after wards with the LA Times.

    Less is more. I love simple, rectangular pools surrounded by glass. This is the pool I would build at my own home.

An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate.An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate. 🍂
You don’t need a perfectly styled table or a dozen new pieces to make a fall gathering feel special. Start with what you already have and layer in a few simple details.
Think woven placemats + simple white plates + gingham napkins + fresh greenery. Add clear glassware and a simple centerpiece, and you have a table that feels warm, collected, and ready for dinner with friends.
The best part? Most of these elements can work beyond fall, too. Just switch out the napkin pattern or greenery and you have a completely different look.
Save this for your next fall gathering and use it as a starting point for your own table. 🤎

The spaces that get it right pair it with warm oak, aged brass, and something worn-in: an antique dresser, a vintage runner, a hand-thrown vase.
