We just finished our pool last week. We used StoneScape mini pebble in tahoe blue. We are very pleased with the color it turned out as well as the feel of the stonescape mini - it is very comfortable under foot. Here is a picture of the pool with water. I also have some pics before it was filled I can share as well if you are interested. Kat Here is a link that might be useful: Our Pool

Grub - If it makes you feel any better, my wife and I went through the same concern as you and your wife, three years ago when we first filled up our pool. A lot of people do, I've seen it posted on this site many times. Just running the filter and getting the water balanced eliminated the green tint for us.

I know this is an old thread, but most of the comments are misleading sales pitches from professional installers and they understandably are going to have biased opinions. I would like to actually answer the question. I am a homeowner with a pool surfaced with Stonescapes mini-pebble. I will preface my comments with this, I love my pool. it is beautiful and the surface is durable BUT, and a big giant but, YES, unequivocally YES. these surfaces will scratch, cut and scrape your feet. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. the same goes for pebble tec These types of surfaces are rough. They are made up of, like the name implys, mini pebbles. No matter how well applied, like these guys will try to tell you, the surface of your pool is going to be rough. that being said, I will never go back to plaster. these types of surfaces are far superior to plaster in every way, but they are rough. they will cut your feet. especially the bottoms of your toes.

Oh my, I had no idea y'all were still tweaking with my room....wonderful ideas, too! I've spent the last week steaming and stripping off the wallpaper beneath the chair rail. There was damage to the walls behind the paper that a contractor had done and just papered right over, and this was my opportunity to finally fix it. I've replastered all the gouged areas and sanded down all the sheetrock beneath the chair rail. Now that the surface beneath the chair rail is repaired, it's back to the original white color that we first painted the entire house. Already looking better than all yellow walls. As much as I love the blue walls, like those shown in the photos that oceanna posted, (thanks oceanna, you don't know how much I've pondered over all your gallery contributions), I've decided that the best way to bring in the blue I like is through bedding, accessories and pillows. I just haven't found a blue wall color that I'm comfortable with, and believe me, I've searched all over. I went on a search yesterday afternoon, and was instantly put off by the fact that our local BM paint store wasn't open on the weekends. I'd stopped in there once before, (during the week, apparently), and wasn't impressed with the attitude of the fellow working there. He just wasn't helpful at all and seemed totally uninterested in selling paint. Their being closed yesterday clinched it. Just around the corner was Sherwin Williams, open 'til 6 and with the most helpful staff. I walked out of there with my toile pillow and a handful of chips that matched the yellow and white shades I was looking for with a smile on my face. If you've read this far.....lol!....I will tell you that I've decided to do a SW creamy white beneath the chair rail, and a SW softer buttery yellow above. The bedskirt will be a Waverly blue/yellow/white plaid and I'll find another blue and yellow throw or quilt for the end of the bed. Going to Penny's for that search, thanks Piper! I'm changing out the pillows to add white Euro shams with yellow pillows and a blue bolster type pillow. Looking for small blue accent rugs for the floor. Plan to build fabric covered cornices or pelmets for the windows to take advantage of the 9' ceilings and raise the eye up above the windows - that way I can keep the curtains, which I love. I'm also adding white trim to the top of the curtain flounce. Whew! If you are still reading, thank you all! Your ideas and suggestions have been fantastic and the room will eventually transform into what I was wanting all along!! Heidi
