Welcome Back – Let’s Bring It All Together

If you’ve been following along, you already know this backyard project has been a true passion of mine. In Part One, I shared how I decided to take the leap—from always being the guest to building the ultimate hangout spot. We kicked things off with some must-have pool accessories like the Ledge Lounger Partypad Swim-Up Bar and my all-time favorite, the Kai Float.

In Part Two, we turned up the dial on comfort and style—creating dedicated lounging zones with luxury outdoor furniture, resort-style cabanas, and fire and water features that set the mood once the sun goes down.

Now in Part Three, it’s all about the finishing touches: in-pool furniture, artificial turf, vertical landscaping, and a custom mosaic of my dog, Theo, that brings it all home.

In-Pool Furniture – Stay in the Water, Stay in the Party

Let’s be honest—when you’ve got a pool, you want to stay in it. I’m turning my pool into an extension of my outdoor living space with stylish, functional in-water furniture.

Signature Barstool

This is next-level poolside hosting. The Signature Barstool lets guests relax right in the pool while enjoying drinks at the bar. It’s sleek, sturdy, and instantly elevates my swim-up area.

This one’s for when I want to impress. The SR Smith Lounger is sculptural and modern—a serious style statement. It’s more than a chair—it’s art, right in the water.

Artificial Turf and Landscaping – Green Without the Hassle

I want my space to feel lush without the weekend yard work. Here’s how I’m adding low-maintenance greenery that looks amazing all year round.

Bermuda 63 Putting Green Turf

Not just turf—turf with purpose. Bermuda 63 looks incredible and doubles as a mini putting green for casual competitions. Plus, it’s pet-friendly and needs zero maintenance.

Mosaics – A Personal Touch (Featuring Theo)

Sure, this backyard is for entertaining—but it’s also for me. And no dream space would be complete without a personal touch. Cue the mosaics!

Clown Fish Mosaic

This playful Clown Fish Mosaic adds a little character to the pool. It’s subtle but fun—something that makes both kids and adults smile.

Custom Mosaics – Meet Theo

This is the showstopper. I’m working with AquaBlu to create a custom mosaic of my dog, Theo. It’s the ultimate tribute to my grill buddy and party mascot.

The process was easier than expected—just a few photos, a bit of back and forth on design, and soon, he’ll be front and center in the pool.

The Backyard Dream Realized – More Than Just a Hangout

What started as a simple idea—to create a space where friends want to gather—has become so much more. Yes, I want the pool parties, BBQs, and game nights. But what I didn’t expect was how much this backyard would change how I live.

I’m outside more. I’m more relaxed. I’m more connected—with friends, family, and even myself. Creating a space that reflects who you are? That’s powerful.

Every decision—from the first float to the final fire pit—was made with intention. Thanks to AquaBlu Mosaics for providing the quality, expertise, and style I needed to make it all happen.

And Theo? I’m pretty sure he approves.
