Here's a complete bathroom remodel done for a family in Long Beach. Though this bathroom may look like a simple small and compact bathroom, this room holds a lot of great features. The main attraction of this bathroom comes from the open shower that is accompanied by a accented black tile wall. This shower is also featured with a full length niche for shower accessories and a bench for extra support. The bathroom is enhanced more by the golden features that come from the knobs and faucet. This bathroom is the perfect master bathroom extension.

Stainless Steel custom spiral stair with wood treads.

This is one of our signature stair designs. The stainless stringers are out of this world as far as looks and exclusivity. No one has 4"x12" stainless steel tube stringers. The glass treads are 3 layers of 1/2" thick clear tempered panels, laminated to a thickness of over 1-1/2". The stairs are made to accept many different types of stair treads. We can easily replace the glass with Metal, Wood, Stone, Granite, Marble, and Precast Concrete, The stainless railing with the glass panels just make the whole thing work.

Patrick & Topaze McCaffery - Taproot Garden Design & Fine Gardening "Evergreen California native Pacific Wax Myrtle (Myrica californica) is a fast growing shrub/tree. After only two years in the garden, it is twice its size, and covers a good portion of the fence. Myrica californica can be selectively pruned to a manageable size."

Inspiration for a mid-sized mid-century modern partial sun courtyard stone garden path in Chicago for spring.

The upper level, steel grated stairs, have suspension wire railing, and are made of salvaged materials from the trade. This upper level bedroom will eventually be a children's playroom, but for the time being they are too little for this location. Industrial Loft Home, Seattle, WA. Belltown Design.

The landscape around this Mediterranean style home was transformed from barren and unusable to a warm and inviting outdoor space, cohesive with the existing architecture and aesthetic of the property. The front yard renovation included the construction of stucco landscape walls to create a front courtyard, with a dimensional cut flagstone patio with ground cover joints, a stucco fire pit, a "floating" composite bench, an urn converted into a recirculating water feature, landscape lighting, drought-tolerant planting, and Palomino gravel. Another stucco wall with a powder-coated steel gate was built at the entry to the backyard, connecting to a stucco column and steel fence along the property line. The backyard was developed into an outdoor living space with custom concrete flat work, dimensional cut flagstone pavers, a bocce ball court, horizontal board screening panels, and Mediterranean-style tile and stucco water feature, a second gas fire pit, capped seat walls, an outdoor shower screen, raised garden beds, a trash can enclosure, trellis, climate-appropriate plantings, low voltage lighting, mulch, and more!
