I was so inspired by the nature that surrounds this property. It’s on almost three acres of land in Orange County, California! Located in an equestrian area called the Back Bay- an active estuary with all sorts of wildlife. I was also inspired by the idea of creating a garden that needs only supplemental water during the hottest months of the year once established. Photo credit by Marie Buck Photography

Golden Thryallis, Thryallis glauca, is an evergreen shrub that's drought tolerant once established. The yellow flowers appear all summer even during dry spells.

The new Priest's Home was designed to seamlessly fit into an established and cherished Hammond, Louisiana.

Set in an established Glen Ellyn neighborhood, this charming stone and stucco exterior has more than 5,200 sf and four levels of finished space tucked into its surprisingly compact frame. The result is a very comfortably-sized home with old world style that fits easily into the neighborhood. After the original home was constructed the owners expanded onto the adjoining lot to create a garden play-space with a lovely open pavilion. The stone and stucco pavilion features a fireplace, gas lanterns, and the ideal setting to relax on summer evenings.

The French Norman architectural style of the exterior establishes a formal symmetry and classic styling reminiscent of homes built centuries ago. Synthetic limestone siding, hand-split cedar shingles, and brass accents, such as the gutters, downspouts, and dormer roofs, all present a formal French setting. Kevin stopped the masons from laying the exterior brick too orderly. "I wanted it to have a more casual look," he says. "So, I told them to go out and have a beer and then come back and work." Whatever their motivations, they mastered the random look.
