Hi, can you please tell me the paint color of the door. Exactly what I am looking for.
What kind of palm tree is on the right side of the door?
what is the name of the succulents under the palm on right. Can they weather zone 8
the name of the fig like tree on the left?
match one of the old tiles found on the house.
Thanks so much for answering my question. I really appreciate it. I absolutely love the tropical look of this landscaping design, wish you would post the entire yard, I bet
That is a heliconia on the left. it has red and chartreuse flowers.
The glass panes on the door in addition to the color of the wood are wonderful. The plants around are perfectly simple additions as well.
OutsideA turquoise door looks so beautiful in a tropical setting, but it can work beautifully in Chicago as well.

Trellis made of tree trunks and limbs
combination of the rocks rising to meet the timber arbor. The shape of the arbor is particularly interesting. Maybe combine this with adornment [ala the wooden dragon] that incorporates familial crests?

I"m looking for shingles exactly like this - any idea where they are from? Love the rustic look of them...great fireplace too!
height of hearth and height of mantle-thanks!
It's a stone quarried out of the Dakotas. Different suppliers name it different things...kind of a silly thing they do to protect their sources. Show the image to your masonry supplier and I'm sure it will be a different name than I have. It's available in thin veneer though this is all 6-7" thick
swing the doors back. Great idea!
We prepared design sketches for the fabricator: a talented local metal worker. Every fireplace opening is a little different and that affects what you can do with the door type and attachments. Contact us directly if you would like copies of the sketches.
bought a home that sits on a corner with a huge front & side yard. In the front there is a huge Oak tree that sits atop a slope. The slope area is nowhere near as large as the picture, but I love the design which I will customize to meet the smaller size of my slope. Thx again!!!
Becky did a feature on rain chains a while back and I got inspired by it. Below is a picture of my home with the rain chains that I added. For me, they are like adding jewelry to your home :) and you will notice mine are copper tulips with a verde gris finish.
