The homeowners wanted their poolhouse to be multi-functional: fun, stylish guest quarters and a home office when necessary for themselves. One of the perks for both situations: pretty pool views.

This pool house was turned into a welcoming guest retreat as well with a small kitchen and living area, a bedroom and bathroom. The light palette—white, pale pink and blue—make the space feel bigger and more open.

In styling this shelf, the designer used a mix of practical items—plates, bowls—and whimsical objets d'art.

Shiplap paneling and marble countertops are the textural backdrops for this kitchen shelf. The designer added color with artwork, books, even produce.
