it may be all those lego fantasy homes i build these days or my happy chance to work-from-home every day, but gosh i could day-dream away a week or two designing my dream home in my mind! {plus ... it's easier on the pocketbook!}
so welcome to my pretend home. each installment focusing on a fun designerly element i adore.

and today...
{element 5} : a pool with a breathtaking view
good golly our family loves to play in the water. in the summer i think we'd LIVE at the beach if we could... but wouldn't it be fun to have the most beautiful pool in the world at your dream home? with the most amazing view overlooking your fave city, or a dream pool gliding into your favourite ocean, or with a view to your favourite mountains?
found some lovelies for you, nicies.
some are not necessarily practical for a family with a young child...
but who needs practical in a pretend home?
what's a design element you long for in your pretend home?
come on over for a swim!

Oooh. I love the crater pool! We went snorkling in an underground river at Xcaret in Mexico, that pool reminds me of that. It was really fun. Although, those dark corners were a little scary.
ReplyDeleteWOW is right!
ReplyDeleteI love the one overlooking the mountains. I've always wanted to swim at the Cochrane polar bear pool with the bears! I think there's a glass partition!
Wouldn't that be fun??!!
Here's a link to the Polar Bear Sanctuary: http://www.canadacool.com/COOLFACTS/ONTARIO/Cochrane.html
ReplyDeleteLove some of those pools. They would be lovely to visit. But oh my! No way would I want some of those from the bottom half of the collection.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the next collection of ideas for your dream home list.
ooh that sounds wonderful, cerise!
ReplyDelete& i agree, leslie! i've always thought that'd be soooo fun! thanks for the link!
thanks elisa! you're lovely!
happy home-ing!
I love the crater pool, too! But I'd like mine all to myself! We're thinking of putting in a pool. My fingers are crossed it'll come to life!!
ReplyDeleteSome rather simple things...I have always wanted a window seat and a butler's pantry. Quaint, sweet details :-) But those pools are incredible!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Suddenly I'm feeling VERY jealous. All those beautiful swimming pools!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to live in a gorgeous elaborate tree house...someone built an adorable cottage in a tree a couple miles down the road from my house-it even has a porch swing with a view of the tree tops-I covet it everytime I drive by!
fingers crossed for you, too, tara!
ReplyDeleteand i love your ideas, sarah!
samantha - that's so fantastic! love it!
magical photos, thank you for sharing. Makes my heart happy to know there are places like this in the world... and maybe I can have one of these:)Or at least have fun dreaming, like you...
