This client came to me with an almost blank palette. The front yard was a weed-filled slope with two glorious purple plum trees providing lots of shaded space. Because the soil on this property is made up of a lot of clay, rain would rush off the property and into the street. We decide to build up a low retaining wall with boulders to lessen the slope of the yard, letting rain water sink into the soil were the plants can access it, instead of running into the storm drains and out the ocean. Because of the plum trees, we chose shade tolerant Mediterranean adaptive and California native plants to create a naturalistic woodland look. The corner of the property receives full sun for most of the day, and we incorporated edible plantings such as pineapple guavas, artichokes and culinary herbs that seamlessly integrated with the shade loving plants. This yard is now a low-maintenance, water wise garden that breathes new life into this 1960s house.

Download our free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW This unit, located in a 4-flat owned by TKS Owners Jeff and Susan Klimala, was remodeled as their personal pied-à-terre, and doubles as an Airbnb property when they are not using it. Jeff and Susan were drawn to the location of the building, a vibrant Chicago neighborhood, 4 blocks from Wrigley Field, as well as to the vintage charm of the 1890’s building. The entire 2 bed, 2 bath unit was renovated and furnished, including the kitchen, with a specific Parisian vibe in mind. Although the location and vintage charm were all there, the building was not in ideal shape -- the mechanicals -- from HVAC, to electrical, plumbing, to needed structural updates, peeling plaster, out of level floors, the list was long. Susan and Jeff drew on their expertise to update the issues behind the walls while also preserving much of the original charm that attracted them to the building in the first place -- heart pine floors, vintage mouldings, pocket doors and transoms. Because this unit was going to be primarily used as an Airbnb, the Klimalas wanted to make it beautiful, maintain the character of the building, while also specifying materials that would last and wouldn’t break the budget. Susan enjoyed the hunt of specifying these items and still coming up with a cohesive creative space that feels a bit French in flavor. Parisian style décor is all about casual elegance and an eclectic mix of old and new. Susan had fun sourcing some more personal pieces of artwork for the space, creating a dramatic black, white and moody green color scheme for the kitchen and highlighting the living room with pieces to showcase the vintage fireplace and pocket doors.
