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.

so far we've got

{element 1} : the glass wall!
{element 2}: the conversation pit!

{element 3}  : a fabulous staircase

{element 4} : bedroom with a view

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!

.................

how about a crater pool?
ps: it's super warm... mmmm...
but eek - a little scary for my liking!

in your own backyard?
