Iroko Ridge is slowly coming together 🌿

The patio furniture finally arrived yesterday and these are literally the “just unpacked” photos — nothing styled or finished yet.

There’s still lots of finer detail to add… outdoor rugs, scatter cushions, plants, pots, pool towels and all the little finishing touches.

I’ve also added a visual of what I have in mind for the finished look.

Those of you who have been following Iroko Ridge from the beginning will know how much has changed already. It’s been a work in progress, but piece by piece it’s starting to look like the place I originally had in my head. 🤎

Still lots to do… but we’re getting there!

FROM VISION TO REALITY… 🌿💦

The first photo is an AI-generated visual of the end result I have in mind for Iroko Ridge’s swimming pool — a dramatic dark charcoal mosaic finish, with water flowing over the rounded edge to create that beautiful rim-flow effect.

And then… reality right now! 😅
The old tiles are off, the pool is stripped back, and it definitely looks worse before it looks better!

But the transformation has officially begun. 🛠️

I absolutely love seeing a vision slowly come to life, and I cannot wait to see how this turns out once the dark charcoal mosaics are installed and the water is flowing again.

Iroko Ridge is taking shape, one project at a time. 🌿✨
