A true challenge...This property had fallen out of escrow several times before it became our residence. Apparently, know one knew what to do with this 1954 California ranch. After several months, my former partner and I decided to blend my favorite "craftsman" and his "clean modern" elements together. Always listen to the home, consider it a type of architectural dance and the home will lead you. Strong use of horizontal warm native redwoods contrasting smooth exterior stucco. Water elements that greet you at the entrance and reappear in the geometrically inspired rear garden. This was personally, one of my favorite projects.

We are an interior design, decorative paint and faux finish business dedicated to helping people create an inviting and beautiful space uniquely suited to each individual. I am available for in home consultations to listen to your wants, needs and ideas and then create a plan with you to make your space perfect for you!

Arctostaphylos columbiana (Hairy Manzanita) thrives in the dry slopes of this woodland garden. The unique bark provides year-round interest. The fruit is a good source of winter food for birds visiting your garden.

Jumbo collard greens

Matte black makes for a great design element that anchors the countertops in a design, without being overbearing. The neutral tones, silver grey flakes and black crystals in our Saint Henry Black Granite adds a visual interest and great alternative to Black Absolute honed which shows fingerprints easily, whereas Saint Henry Black Granite does not.
