Creating A Backyard Oasis

As you all know if you have been following along, we are having a pool installed in our backyard. I have been so excited to see the construction each day as it more and more starts to look like a pool. You know how a big hole in the ground is wonderful, but when you can see plumbing and electrical and all the inside construction taking shape, then it really starts to look like it is going to be a fabulous pool. Time to start thinking about Creating A Backyard Oasis.

This is where we are at this point – all the electrical, plumbing and rebar are done to form the shell of the pool.

Next up is the “shotcrete” – that is sort of a cement that they shoot into all the frame work and smooth it down to form the inside of the pool. After it cures, then they do the plaster or “Pebble Sheen” coating on the shotcrete and that is the final smooth color finish for the inside of the pool. After that is installed they immediately fill the pool and the yard gets cleaned up and the Kool-deck is installed around the pool and done.

Time to look for some patio furniture and accessories to create the perfect backyard oasis when the pool is finished. Wayfair has a great feature called “Bloggers Picks”. You pick a theme and then choose what products you would like. I picked items that I would love to have to help create my backyard oasis around the new pool.

Check out my picks that are live on their site now.

Dickerson 6 Piece Outdoor Sectional
I love the chic contemporary style of this set and the ability to change the configuration up for different arrangements on the patio. The corner end table with storage is an added bonus.

Bergamo 10 Ft. W x 10 Ft. D Metal Portable Gazebo
This Gazebo is perfect to set up near the pool. Great place to enjoy some outdoor dining or add a sofa and some chairs for a shady seating area by the pool.

Vadili 5 Piece Dining Set with Cushions
This set is small enough to fit on the patio or poolside. The cushioned chairs will be comfortable for lingering around the table.

Concrete Falling Water Fountain
Great contemporary style small water fountain that would be perfect to add into the landscaping by the pool.

Barron Beige Indoor/Outdoor Rug
This rug would be perfect to add under the seating area on the patio to create the illusion of a room. Classic patterns are always a winner.

Oxford Indoor/Outdoor Throw Pillow
Outdoor cushions in soft contemporary colors and pattern will add that extra comfort and style that the outdoor sofa needs.
