The new teak furniture and umbrellas from Kingsley-Bate arrived in time for the July 4th weekend! A departure from the hunter green set that was in place for years, the new blue set stands out rather than blends into the landscape. I'm trying to get used to this change.
"Sky-blue" pool water |
A good friend suggested infusing some other colors onto the patio to break up the expanse of blue. Behind the patio, there is a bed with flowering perennials and shrubs. Between the chaises, I'll try some containers with annuals.

I don't actually sit by the pool often. I'm always jumping up to prune, weed or inspect. With hot, sunny weather forecasted, maybe I'll enjoy the pool area this weekend (probably reading a new garden book).

not too blue at all .. and I just did a pool with that interior finish color - outstanding!
a splash of red anywhere makes it in summer....
Thanks. I think, like anything, big changes take time to get used to.
Hope the color lasts a while. We converted to saltwater. Mainly, because the chlorine was bothering my eyes, but hope it will also keep fading down over the years.
are those 10 foot umbrellas?
These are 9' foot umbrellas with a 1.5" pole. However, Kingsley-Bate does make a 10' foot umbrella with a 2" inch pole: Kingsley-Bate options
