4. Beach Volleyball Court You'll need a yard with some elbow room to create a soft sand regulation- size beach volleyball court. This one at Artista's show home at 52 Deer Pointe Dr., measures 30 feet wide by 60 feet long with 12 to 18 inches of sand. Just add sunshine. 5. Bring the Indoors Out Extend the comfort of the indoors to a perfectly planned patio. Weather-re- sistant upholstered furniture gathered around a coffee table lets you and your guests enjoy the fresh air and sunshine in style. An outdoor area rug keeps your feet happy on high-end paving stones. 6. Bathroom Chandeliers What could be more delightful than the delicate sparkle of light dancing around the room as you soak away the day? Go for a streamlined look with a contem- porary chandelier or go for Baroque with something dripping with crystals. 7. Steam Shower A steam shower is a decadent way to leave the day behind. The stall goes from the floor to the ceiling to keep you envel- oped in the warmth and the moisture as you drift away with your dreams. 8. Steam Room After your workout, bask in the warmth of your own steam room. Play a few tunes on a built-in sound system or catch up on your favourite TV shows. While you're at it, add a hot tub and locker area that can be shared with guests. 9. Extra Long Bathroom Vanity The lean lines of an extra long vanity are soothing to look at and will show off your accessories. With lots of room to spread out, your morning routine can be relaxed and orga- nized. Add touchless or one-touch faucets for easy, clean function. 10. Pet Alcove Take a neat cue from Parkhill Homes and add a built-in pet alcove. Food bowls won't take up valuable real estate on your kitchen floor and you won't lose any counterspace. Add a bed in the corner and small dogs will have their own little kingdom.
