You’ve seen every corner of my home, but there’s one space I’ve consciously hidden: our backyard. Defined by a sloped lawn we couldn't tame and a dream that felt out of reach, we finally decided 2026 was the year to change that. Here is exactly how we navigated the overwhelming search for a pool builder who could handle our 'un-buildable' lot.

We’ve kept this corner of our home hidden for years, but the secret is finally out. We’re tackling our largest project yet: a complete transformation of our sloped backyard into a functional, modern heritage-inspired oasis, complete with a pool and a very big wish list.
