Poolside Escape

Check out this pool house that’s perfect for relaxing and entertaining.

If Goldilocks had had the good fortune of being lost in Louisville, Kentucky, she may have been able to avoid her bear encounter altogether. We found a pool house with a combination of small space and abundant amenities that makes it the perfect example of “just right.”

Minibar, Maxi-Function
Boasting a modest 400 square feet, Donna Outlaw’s pool house manages to fit in everything needed for poolside pleasures. Besides the requisite bath, the building features a wet bar that’s great for entertaining. Donna uses a small glass-front beverage refrigerator and ice-maker to keep thirsty bathers near the fun and out of the main house. A small Mexican copper sink is tucked into a countertop made of the same wood as the cabinetry. “I could have used granite or metal, but I wanted the warmth of wood,” says Donna. “Plus, I don’t do dishes out there. So with a good sealer, the wood countertop works just fine and was much less expensive.” Smart!
