There is something magically enchanting about a beautiful yet whimsical pool pavilion. And what could be better this time of year? My all-time favorite pool house belongs to Shelley Johnstone in Lake Forest, Illinois. Shelley’s vision was inspired by the follies of Newport and the pagoda-shaped pool houses of Palm Beach, and she also created the design to complement the style of the main house.
While we do not have a pool at our Dallas home, we also did not have any covered outdoor space. We have a tiny backyard, yet we love entertaining outdoors, so I had to get creative. We tore down the obstructive and unsightly breezeway connecting the garage to the mud room, and are replacing it with a garden pavilion, largely inspired by Shelley’s chic pool house. I cannot wait for it to be complete! Today I will share some of the prettiest inspirational images I have collected via Pinterest over the years…

These are beautiful, but Bunny Williams’ pool house at her Connecticut home is my personal favorite.
Yes to any and all of these charming escapes. I was lucky once to have a pool pavilion.
