I think feed tank pools are pretty genius and oh so affordable! Upcycled and the perfect size for a cool plunge, not to mention so much easier to maintain than a full sized swimming pool. Would your dream home include a backyard pool? If so, which would you choose? Enjoy the sunshine!

Although
we've had a fair amount of sunshine over the past few weeks,
temperatures haven't been nearly as warm as they have been in summers
gone by. They are supposed to rise this weekend though and I'm sure my
kids would be pleased as punch to take a dip in any one of these
backyard pools! I don't know about you, but I prefer pools that look
more natural and blend into the landscape a little bit more than the
standard bright blue-lined versions. Although with views like these, I
wouldn't complain about a thing!

I would want a salt water pool, and one long enough to swim laps!! So relaxing.
That Jenna McKnight photo is incredible, a classic example of the Italian Biodesign that a lot of swimming pool designs are trying to imitate at the moment. It's rare to see one constructed so well.
