Made in the Shade
Every sunny backyard oasis needs a shady retreat. Welcome to the pool house! It can loom large or have compact charisma, accept style cues from the home or sport its own identity. In any form we like — house, gazebo, conservatory, cabana, pergola or pavilion — we can put whatever we want inside. Imagine an outdoor kitchen, bar, living room, guest space or even a studio. Whether for intimate lounging or social shindigs, the defining feature of this poolside pal is an accommodating personality. You've had your swim and soaked up your rays, so let's check out the ways to have it made in the shade.
