Vivid furnishings brighten poolside retreat
Steven Gunther
A hand-carved blue door and bright orange-red cushions form a colorful backdrop for a poolside retreat at this Southern California home. Blue accent pillows, a freestanding wooden cross and red geraniums and bougainvillea also provide a vibrant counterpoint to the pool. As the owner says, “The bright colors remind me of old Mexico.”

Outdoor Paradise
Who says the back porch has to be attached to the house? One Memphis family enjoys theirs, which is nestled in the heart of the back yard. Although the structure was part of the property when the family bought the home several years ago, its size and scale seem ideal for today. The screened porch section measures 8 x 12 feet; exposed beams on the inside give it an open feel. To the left, an enclosed room that's used for storing outdoor equipment takes up another eight feet. - Integrated Cabinets
