COOL POOL HOUSE

I am just finishing a project that I would like to share with you.  There are two buildings on the property.  One is called the pool house and the other a guest house.  The guest house I will get to in a later post.  The pool house is a small hollow brick building built in the 1920's.  It has great old steel windows and sits in the middle of a vineyard.  This is what she looked like when I first saw it.....

the front

the back

yes that is a moon gate (there were two)

the pantry

the pizza oven

It has come together, it has been transformed.  A shade structure and firepit were built.  Some walls lost some walls gained.  New paint, new kitchen, new bath.  It is a mix of pieces found and pieces made.  It reflects the owners passions and warmth.  To cut to the chase.....

 this is what she looks like now.....
