It’s the hottest time of the year in Houston. We’ve reached 101 degrees for the fourth straight day. This calls for another post about a pool to cool you off in this blistering heat. Ly Custom Homes took an outdated backyard and gave it a modern refresh.
The Before Picture. This home lacked the necessary shaded area to entertain outside and relax on the poolside. Also, there is a brick wall which contains the indoor fireplace that is closed off and uninviting. Lastly, towards the right side there is a bay window that provides an awkward interior space that the client desperately wanted changed.
The After Picture. We built a veranda and an extended patio to transform this home’s backyard into a useful outdoor living space. The brick chimney wall now has a double-sided fireplace. We also squared off the bay window and inserted two beautiful over-sized windows with large divided lites, which gives the first floor the clean line modern look and a functional interior living space that the client desired.
Other upgrades. We replastered the pool to a custom midnight blue color, installed limestone tile and coping, and of course, painted the house brick white and gutters black. For those wondering, the pool fence is from katchakid.com and the grass was upgraded to zoysiagrass.
Outdoor Living. The clients were able to customize their outdoor living space to include a comfortable seating area with fireplace, the dining areas for the adults and kids, and the bar / grill where the entertainment begins. This makes for the perfect outdoor space for this family.
