This church sits on a property that is approximately one acre in size that is located in a suburban setting in Baltimore County. I designed a new planting plan for much of the property and installed much of it along with the assistance of others. Formerly the property was mainly lawn. I designed plantings around the new addition and the original buildings as well. The plantings consisted of dozens of mostly native trees (native MD’s piedmont plant community) and flowering perennials and grasses. This garden is now over twenty years old.

Incorporating a unique blue-chip art collection, this modern Hamptons home was meticulously designed to complement the owners' cherished art collections. The thoughtful design seamlessly integrates tailored storage and entertainment solutions, all while upholding a crisp and sophisticated aesthetic.

Update to bay window in front living room. Removed cushions and pillows and upholstered valance over the window.
