Pool Paradise

July 9, 2010

It’s Friday and you know what that means…

Another amazing home to tour!

Today we’re heading to sunny Brentwood, California to see a jaw-dropping home built for a director, his writer/sommelier wife and their 2 daughters (lucky, lucky girls!).

I know, I know!  Can you imagine the pool parties?

This home draws from Contemporary and Italian influences and was designed for as much natural light as possible.

The homeowners mixed plaster colors themselves to find just the right exterior hues.

This is my million dollar shot here!  I can’t get over how gorgeous this water looks coming directly up to the foundation of the home (only in California, friends), with the lush, tropical landscape in the backdrop.

This unexpected water fountain is just tranquil and stunning.

The colors inside maximize the warm sunlight streaming in.  I love the way this color palette changes with the light depending on the time of day.

The interior is open and contemporary.  Look at all the windows!  The architect describes the look here as “rough luxury”.

I love the “living outside” focus of this room.  But with that pool and outdoor landscape as a draw, it would be difficult to keep guests inside.

Special thanks to whipple russell architects for this amazing home tour.

Have a terrific weekend!
