A Rainbow of Colors



The pool addition at this marsh front home took color to a whole new level.  The homeowner selected over Rainbow Sandstone product to use around the pool and terrace area.  


The pool was surrounded with a raised seat wall with columns on either side. The stone on the veneer walls was our Broken Face Fieldstone Natural Thin Veneer. They used the rainbow sandstone to cap the walls.  


Beautiful pots were used as accent colors in the space. 

One of my favorite selections on the project was the seamless coping material with the rockfaced edge.  Using a rockfaced edge on the inside of the pool can sometimes being an intimidating decision but the look is completely transformed.  This pool would look very different with a bullnosed coping. 


The Rainbow Sandstone has a very exciting wood grain feel to it. 



The owners also incorporated the Sandstone treads on the staircase to match the pool coping.   One of the interesting decisions I noticed on the project was adding a burgandy clay brick to the stone veneer to tie together the paving material with the veneer stone. 

Here you can see a full view of the marsh and seat wall surrounding the pool area.  What a peaceful and relaxing space.  


The installers on the project was Pleasant Landscapes. They worked very diligently to custom fabricate  these Rainbow Sandstone pier caps at of raw stone slabs. 



Next to the pool is a comfy seating area with outdoor fireplace.  Come fall this is where you would find me if it were my home.  

The homeowners added a beautiful couch and Charleston bed swing in the fireplace area.  


To tie everything together the same veneer stone was used on the rear of the outdoor fireplace.
