Dream Escape

This 6- x 13-foot screened pavilion occupies a wooden platform near a small pond. Gauzy curtains frame the entrance and provide privacy and bug protection when needed.

A shallow gabled roof covered with translucent fiberglass shelters the area from rain and drizzle without blocking the light.

The space is furnished with comfortable, stylish pieces, including a chair found at a flea market, an old coffee table, and an antique daybed.
