That inspiration yard looks wonderful. Your wife has good taste! You all did an incredible job of replicating the look of that pool. Did you end up using the same Stepstone coping mentioned in the article?
In a word. No. We have gotten used to getting the material that we can get when we can get it. I'm sure that would have taken a year and cost me 30k. Instead we got something called Artisanal Series precast coping from NPT tile. We chose the Ivory hand rubbed modern cut. It was a 4 week process, and I think it looks great.
