Beautiful Montecito foothills compound (main house, guest house, office - staggered down a slope). We built a new stucco wall to separate what we now call the "garden motor court" from the entry garden. We added a fabulous set of antique doors that call out the way to the front door. At the front door, beneath a vine-draped pergola which is furnished with a beautiful old chinoiserie cupboard, pots, sculpted-looking Japanese maple and great statuary. We draped the motor court walls with vines and arranged huge pots with fantastical, sculptural plantings and pebble mulch along the new wall. We planted huge olive trees inside and outside of this wall soften the bright motor court.
