Good Morning! It’s been a minute! With our new blog site finally launched, I am sooooo excited to be back to writing and sharing. And it’s also been quite a minute since I shared any updates on our pool area too! With a huge electrical issue back in June that fried our pool transformer along with a whole lot of other things in our garage apartment and backyard, we are just now getting around to opening our pool for “the season”… in late October. Ha! Maybe not for swimming but most definitely for a little lounging and hot tub use!
A little over three years ago now, John and I decided to tie the knot and pretty much simultaneously add a pool to what was “my home” at the time. Kind of a fun new design project to make it ours and give our new four kiddo home a beautiful new family hangout spot! I’d been daydreaming about designing this area for quite some time and absolutely LOVED getting to marry (hehe) so much inspiration for the design from my travels over the years. From our honeymoon in Greece to my love for France and John’s Italian heritage, there is a piece of everything in our outdoor living area from the Greek olive trees to the Italian cypresses and the French decor vibes.
There has been one last finishing touch though that I’d been undecided on for years now… PILLOWS! I wanted something that felt unique, was really well-made and durable for our hot Georgia summers and that also kind of married all of the colors of our outdoor space. And since I was never able to find anything ready-made that I loved, I chose once again to work with Calico and utilize their free custom design services. With custom outdoor upholstery, you can perfectly match your space/aesthetic thanks to a wide array of outdoor fabrics and trim options, uniques shapes and sizes available, and custom detailing, including contrasting welts and trimmings. Calico streamlines the custom cushion and pillow process, making it simple to achieve a look perfectly tailored to our home. Also, Calico’s design services are free!

Calico made it so easy to achieve the outdoor space of my dreams by streamlining the custom pillow creation process with their free design services. You can schedule complimentary Calico Design Services RIGHT HERE! John and I simply stopped by our local Atlanta location and worked with the sweetest design associate there who laid out all of the outdoor fabric and trim options. From there, I chose two fabrics to create a fun, colorful striped design along with outdoor tassel trim…
