A Sweet Pool House

By Brian Vanden Brink

Resembling an English Cotswold cottage, this charming pool house is instead found in rural Connecticut. With lush landscaping and an idyllic environment the homeowners took full advantage of what they had to work with and created this inviting retreat. In addition to a couple of changing rooms, the building also has an attached pergola and a small kitchen for preparing poolside lunches. Sweet!
