This multi-zone playroom is a dream come true for a family with a teenaged boy and two tween girls! With a hangout area full of bean bags, disco balls, a neon peace sign and a modern acrylic bubble chair, an indoor basketball court with a padded floor, and a climbing wall and foam pit (perfect for dunking baskets and crashing in), there’s no shortage of fun. The multiple swings—like the aerial silks for flips and the trapeze—add to the excitement. We kept the space open, with distinct zones for each activity, and used different flooring to make each zone feel unique while keeping the family together. The calming green color adds a pop of vibrancy, while the art area encourages the kids to express their creativity. Whether it's blowing off steam on the climbing wall or getting together with friends, this playroom has quickly become the family’s favorite hangout spot.

When those views beckon the family outside, the Georgian Bay room is an ideal oasis to take in the rugged scenery in sophisticated comfort. The Tamarack team built integrated drop-down screens and shutters into the framing that allow the family to relax in harmony with the elements. The outdoor gas fireplace adds another layer of bliss to be savoured while taking in the unobstructed, serene views. “We watch the sunsets every evening and fall asleep to crashing waves at night,” says Linda. “Life does not get any better than that. We are incredibly grateful to have this little bit of paradise on Georgian Bay and for the outstanding teamwork of Tamarack, Foreshew Design and all those who collaborated to bring our vision to life.”

Inspired by native limestone waterfall, and designed to naturally blend into the landscape but make a huge impression and impact, this pondless waterfall built in the loess hills of Western Iowa is a signature project and an absolute stunner. Its placement on the hillside across the driveway for the house provided a perfect setting to make a dramatic impact. The variety of small and large waterfalls helps provide scale and interest, along with making different sounds as the water crashes over the rocks to fill the air with a fabulous ambiance. The character of the weathered limestone helps the feature appear seamless and as if it is naturally eroding out of the hillside. A variety of evergreens punctuate the landscape, and perennial natives and grasses blend into the native prairie grass establish beyond the waterfall. This waterfall feature's Aquascape products and LED lighting. Built to run in all four seasons, but with the ease of being shut of for vacations and quickly started upon returning with no need to fill the reservoir and with no hassle. Running the feature on a timer and the addition of an IonGen helps keep this feature free from algae.

THE MODERN FARMHOUSE KEEPS GROWING - Every year brings a new set of fashion trends. Some of them will stick around, but there are others we just can’t embrace. While some fashionistas want to veer toward contemporary chic, even more recognize that the Modern Farmhouse style that keeps growing. The Modern Farmhouse style emerged after the housing bubble burst in 2008. Just like the crash of the late 1980s when shabby chic became popular. America needed a new look, one that could be achieved at all price points and would be durable both physically and through design trends, reinventing a home that would give the heartfelt homestyle that rustic decor presents. The Modern Farmhouse brings a sense of textures—mixtures of metals, wood, pottery, textiles, and natural elements. The Modern Farmhouse is here to stay, because it’s personal and inviting. Foreman Builders, Inc. offers many Farmhouse Floor Plans to choose from to make your house feel like home.

Originally, as a designer, my desire was common drama. I surrounded the salt water spa with a cloud 'Morning Lights' miscanthus grass. Not very unique. The install by a different contractor was deeply affected by the economic crash of 2008 and we were "gifted" the opportunity of readdressing the resultant issues. Two years having passed in my own design path, I grew more confidant in my own aesthetics and suggested we do something more dynamic. Grasses abound, so intrinsic to water-scapes- our western version of wind whispering through tropical palm leaves. But we introduced variety in color and form. It's quite lovely :) Gigi
