Cold frames are a terrific way to extend the growing season on both ends; serving as mini-greenhouses they allow your garden to keep producing in cold weather months when growing would otherwise be impossible. These beautiful, locally made cedar cold frames measure 24″x 44″ and slope from 5″ in front to 24″ in back (custom built sizes are also available). A temperature sensitive piston automatically opens and closes the lid as-need to create a perfect climate for your plants.

An undeveloped basement became a cozy bathroom and sitting room. White cabinets, soft gray counter tops create a clean comfortable space. LVT makes it easy to clean and will withstand colder temperatures when the homeowners leave this Lakeside cabinet for extended periods of time.

This is an organic Lime Wash done with a true lime wash product as opposed to a brick mortar or concrete that is often seen on new houses. This product can be applied as a solid coating making the surface completely white, or can be applied and "washed off" in many artistic ways, as seen here. If you hate your brick or just want something unique this is a great option! Photo credit: Jeff Murrey

Holiday planter with seasonal decor, including live Amaryllis and Winterberry. The winterberry can be planted in the spring in your garden, and the amaryllis can also go into the garden, but requires warmer soil temperatures. It needs to come indoors for the colder weather, but will grow from year to year in your summer garden. So your arrangement is recyclable, not only that, it gets better from year to year!

This oceanfront retreat features a custom quartz walkway and patio with perfect views of the Newport Harbor. And thanks to the vanishing edge pool with custom pre-cast coping, this unobstructed view from the backyard can be enjoyed from the pool in recliners that are set on natural stone. For the chilly evenings or colder days, the three water heaters provide ample warmth; one controls the lounge area, one controls the pool temperature, and one controls the spa temperature.
