Yummm. Yes please.

Or you could do it like the hipsters do and DIY it with some plastic and dumpsters.

I know it’s getting to be winter time and such, but I really want a pool. It’s too f*ing hot out here in the desert to go another summer without delicious swim time. Build it during the cool bit and then fun all around when the temperature rises…

I have the perfect narrow bit of land on the side of the house just aching for a shipping container/dumpster pool.

      so weird how shipping containers have become all the rage. homes, cottages, now pools. what next?

      I feel like every architectural home tour I go on lately has long narrow pools… I’m loving them!

      I'm so into the shipping container idea. Before we bought our rowhome, we priced out buying land and building our own shipping container house. Maybe next time 'round.

      I have really been coveting some kind of pool (heck, even a large bathtub) lately, so this is seeming almost perfect. but, how to convince my husband!?

      OMG I"ve never seen this before! I love it! We have a pool and I gotta say I can't say enough about what a relief it is to have a pool in the Valley/dessert in the summer. And in the winter its just beautiful to look at. I love water.
