This area is the entrance to a home, leading from the driveway along the side of the house to the front door. It is a long, narrow space that was originally paved with paving bricks and it had no planting, except for the large palm tree and Cycas at the end. This space had an out-of-date, drab look and was in dire need of a makeover! We spiced things up by adding a sexy curve formed by a water stream and a cobblestone pathway. The water feature at the top of the garden feeds the stream and can be seen from a large dining room window, making it a focal point and a great showpiece. The planting is lush and green with pops of colourful flowers. Photo - Craig de Necker

This wonderful French brick manor was brought to life twice, once with a gut renovation and another time with a cosmetic renovation. Each detail was carefully planned to complete a family home that was friendly, tailored and chic. The builder, contractors and designer all worked to bring this together in a short period of time. The colors are all earth tones with accents of curated art and ccessories. Each room tells a story yet flows nicely from one interior to the other. Project Year: 2016 Jane Beiles

My clients have an active yoga practice and a dedicated space for that was planned into the home. The concrete floor was painted with a custom lotus mandala by a friend of the homeowner. We then pulled a warm rust tone from the mandala to use as the wall colour. The effect is a space that feels peaceful and meditative.

A Sitting Room isn't a luxury that everyone has, so we made sure to make this room extra special. The cool colors of the furniture are perfectly complimented with the hints of pink in the flowers and pillows. The natural light is quite the perfect backdrop for this stylish and serene space!

Carolina Ponyfoot (Dichondra carolinensis) and Oakwoods ponyfoot (Dichondra recurvata) are low-growing, creeping perennial weeds that can quickly spread under the right conditions. The plants can produce new roots at each leaf node; meaning as they creep along the soil surface they can continue rooting and creating new plant clusters. The smooth green leaves resemble a kidney in shape, although it’s also called “pony’s foot” or "ponyfoot" based on the shape. In spring, they produce a tiny, 5 petaled flower. These plants are native to Texas and can be found throughout the southeastern U.S. https://soilsalive.com/resources/identification-guide/dichondra-ponysfoot
