DESIGNING AN UNTYPICAL POOL HOUSE

I'm working on a project where I'm mixing a formal & ancestral style with a casual bohemian feel. This is just the beginnings but you can see the layering of textures and forms blending together.

CAMPING THE WAY I LIKE IT

We just got back from camping "car style". We pitched a tent and "should" have been cozy. The wind rocked us all over the place and I could not stop obsessing about doing camping a better way. I found this super stylish service called Silver Trailer http://www.silvertrailer.com/index.php

At around $1,200 a week you can enjoy a posh setup and you don't even have to trail it, they do it for you!

OUTDOOR PATIO

I'm looking for creative ways to get some shade without the heavy feeling of a solid overhang. Our new backyard is exposed like this so this could be what I'm after.
