Ultimate Outdoor Living Space: Transitional design blending old world finishes with new age lines and features. Including geometric pool with infinity spa, sunshelf, swimjet, LED lighting, interior finish with French Grey Glass Beadcrete and Abalone. Tampa Custom wood trellis with cast stone columns, elegant Sunbrella curtains, Patio Renaissance curved sectional sofa, fire table with Oceanside Glass tile, stunning LED accent lighting. Grand Effects Fire Water Bowl, linear see- through fireplace with LED lighted Onyx panels.

A hot trend that shows no sign of slacking, exposed brick is a great way of bringing texture into the design of the space. Playing off of the taupe in the mortar, the paired chairs at this chic dining table tie in the warm grey throughout the home while playing with a burst of color in the hanging lighting.

This is the dining area and what was originally the kitchen space. French doors were added out to the deck that has an outdoor kitchen on it

This is a wonderful lap pool that has a taste of modern with the clean lines and cement cabana that also has a flair of the rustic with wood beams and a hill country stone bench. It also has a simple grass lawn that has very large planters as signature statements to once again give it a modern feel. Photography by Vernon Wentz of Ad Imagery
