How did you achive the look of the walls - Can you please tell me how the walls where finished? Did you polish them to achive the look? »

Kathleen Shaeffer Design, Exterior Spaces No. They are poured-in-place concrete with an integrated dark gray color. When the forms were removed this was the texture.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Here is another framed view in the same garden. A secondary doorway frames horizontals of green and deep aubergine in the meadow. This garden also offers framed views from the seating area through wooden gridwork panels.
