Liquid Luxury

At first glance, the pool room had dated paneled walls and boarded up windows; the pool itself had rings and streaks and the concrete decking around it was cracked and uneven. On the upside there was an impressive wall of windows that filled the room with lots of natural light. My thought was if we lighten the walls, and darken the pool and ceiling, the contrast would give the space a rich luxurious feel. The ceiling was paneled like the walls too, but lacked its own personality. For it's make over, it required a second floor to be built eighteen feet high to do the work safely. Once it was built we added big chunky, rustic beams with iron strapping and wrapped the room with a beautiful border of scripture. One of the walls was hand painted with a mural of Jesus overlooking Israel. This amazing artwork brought in color and gives the effect of windows. The staircase was basic wood; we redesigned it with distressed wood and iron railing. There was enough space for a built in beverage bar and a space for rolled towels. The different elements working together provided the harmony in texture and color that makes it feel warm and inviting.....
