Happy Weekend Friends! I know it’s the end of Oc Happy Weekend Friends! I know it’s the end of October and I’m still posting Pool pics but we made the decision to leave the pool open through the winter 🥶. When it gets super cold we will have to lower the water a bit so the waterline tiles don’t freeze and fall off but I’m excited to see how the space changes with the seasons. I didn’t do much Fall decorating in the yard but I’m trying to convince my hubby that we need a couple Christmas trees in the pool house! I’ll let you know how that goes😉 #pooldesign #poolhouse #pools #pooldays #poolvibes #poolready #poolhome #poolsofinstagram #swimmingpool #swimmingpools #swimmingpooldesign #swimmingpoolideas #poolhousedesign #poolhouseproject #poolhouselife #poolhousesofinstagram #happyhautehome #frenchcountry #countryfrench #frenchcountry #mycountryhome #mycountryliving #bhghome #bhgstyle #mybhg
