Our Stylish Pool House Makeover is complete

Our pool house makeover is complete! Well, it’s as complete as it’s going to get for this summer. Ideally, I would love to plank the floor and ceiling but for now, a painted floor and ceiling did the trick. I shared our pool house/music studio a few weeks ago showing how it essentially was storage for pool supplies, pool furniture and my husband’s drum set. The drums may eventually return but for now, they are in an air conditioned space allowing my husband to play throughout the summer. My mom and I took this opportunity to clear out the space and give it a makeover. I was thrilled when Home Goods wanted to participate offering gift cards to both you and me! Home Goods is offering two readers a $50 gift card. Read on, you can enter soon!

I added wide pine planks to one wall in an effort to achieve a modern cottage feel. I added 3/4 high board and batten painted white dove to the remaining walls and painted the top wythe blue. Both the paint colors are by Benjamin Moore. The best thing about the paint, it was left over from our family room makeover so there was no cost involved.

Here is the before picture of this wall with the drums in front of it.

This space has come “a long” way in a few weeks.  Here is the new view from the french doors that lead to the pool.

Here is the old view from the french doors.

The white distressed coat hook assembly, white sheer drapery, vase and blue throw pillows are from Home Goods. As you know, Home Goods offers a variety of home decor at reasonable prices allowing you to achieve a fresh modern look on a budget. Would you believe me if I told you that is the same DIY couch that I sawzalled in half last year? It is! I will be sharing how I reupholstered it AGAIN soon.

Everything you see in this space, besides the goodies from Home Goods, are items my mom and I had hanging around the house. I painted the armoire white dove that is currently serving as storage for the beach towels and the mini-refrigerator. The floor lantern, armoire lanterns, candles and clock are all from Home Goods.

Here is the same view before the makeover. Isn’t it amazing what paint and wooden wall treatments will add to a space? I painted the floor with the left over Restore patio and porch paint that we had left over from our patio paint project last summer.

The small end table is one that I painted a couple years ago that use to live in our foyer. The coat hooks are perfect for hanging towels. My mom especially loves how the white sheer drapery add a sense of “home” to the space. The sheers from Home Goods were $15 for two! Seriously, you can’t even buy fabric and make these length curtains for that amount of money.

Here is the view before of this wall.

The planked wall though is my favorite addition to this space. I painted the sofa table in ASCP duck egg blue with a coat of white dove on the top. I love how the two colors coordinate together.

The planked wall is plywood that I cut to 6 inches wide and painted in the color white dove. Be sure to check out the tutorial of how I did this using a quarter and a couple hours of time. Here is what it looked like during the planking process.

I am in love with this wall. The drift wood, weaved floor basket, baby blue wire hanging baskets, and blue vase add the touch of rustic coastal elegance we wanted in this space. We wanted an overall modern cottage feel with a hint of coastal elegance.  The hydrangeas in our yard are in full bloom so I took the opportunity to show them off and share them with you.

I love how the duck egg blue on the sofa table and whythe blue on the walls coordinates with the white planked wall.

The wire baskets from Home Goods are hung with a tiny nail and are perfect for rolled towels.
