The outdoor shower

 

Getting back into the swing here has been a challenge as all I want to do is focus on relaxing and getting my pool project completed!  We are finishing up the cabana over the next couple of weeks and then it is onto planting, sprinklers and dirt.. lots and lots of dirt.

My current focus is on the little outdoor shower that will be on the side of the cabana.  I love this look and just cannot wait to get it all together here.  I need opinions please- do you have an outdoor shower?  Do you love it?  Any suggestions on hardware?  This exposed look is what I am after and have found a few things but I always love a few choices that come with recommendations!

 

I found this little pretty but I am a little worried about the finish being exposed to the elements.

Teak pool lounges

Okay friends as I am sure you know we are in the middle (actually on the tail end) of putting in a pool.  This is a first for both the Husband and myself.  So I have dreamt for years of having a big double lounger to relax on pool side.  It seems like so much more fun that sitting all alone right?  I was going to buy a couple of inexpensive pieces from one of my favorites, Target, but I cannot seem to pull the trigger..  I think I may have to get the double lounger even if we all have to share it this summer.  So I am asking for opinions please - do you have a double?  Do you have singles?  Pros/ Cons the whole thing please!    I did pick up two of these beauties though and there was not a question about them.  Had to have em!

pool side... simply

 

I have spent my free time as of late obsessing about a few things.. but the biggest thing on my mind is the pool we are putting in.  I am waiting with baited breath for it to be complete so I can put out lounges and add plants and just basically sit next to it and stare at what has been a dream of ours for years.  I adore this pool- it is modern and clean and just simple..  Ours is not going to be quite so simple but I did keep it as simple as possible.  We will be having some outdoor rooms but not for a little while so I have to be prepared for a lot of open space.

If you would like to keep up on our progress you can check out my instagram and eventually I will get it all together enough to show you here on the blog...  I hope you are looking forward to a wonderful weekend!

Lights by the pool...

First off I wanted to say Thank you for all of your lovely comments on entertaining!  I always want to but it is hard to get everyone on board.  Maybe I need to just invite you guys over instead!  

As I am sure you have heard we are in the process of working on a big project for ourselves here.  We are putting in a pool and I am so excited about the possibilities.  I love the idea of lighting outside the pool, candles on the deck, lights in the trees so moody and beautiful when reflected in the water.  

Even though it is not the center of attention here I love it! 

 Do you have a pool?  

Have you ever done this when entertaining outside? 

 I can hardly wait!

Pool side...

 

We have spent the last few days trying to iron out details of pool side design, pool shapes and various other needs for our upcoming changes here.  This is much harder than I thought!  There is so much inspiration and so much I do not know about landscape and hard scape design.  The image above is one of my favorites... we are going to do a structure (because I am not allowed to have a pool house) similar to this at the end of the pool!  Yay!  Now to go through the 1 million items to prepare and to look forward to warmer days ahead...

Happy Friday!
