Estefanie assisted with the grey wall colour choice and some finishes such as choosing indigo layers for a modern coastal space with clean lines, rich textures and family-friendly materials. The fireplace has a sleek concrete texture and a rustic feel which pairs well with the living room’s woven pieces. Combining the concrete charcoal tile on the fireplace and the delicate scales of cream coloured flower petals on the mirror achieves a wonderful contrasting effect.

This fabulously redesigned kitchen sits on a mountainside in Colorado Springs overlooking the famous Air Force Academy. It was a collaborated effort between be & my friend to gut & remodel this space in her newly purchased home. The soapstone countertops are black with subtle white veins, which are a gorgeous contrast to the white cabinetry and tile. We mixed metals & made this a modern, yet warm place to bring the family together.

Flower Powered completely redesigned and installed a new front yard garden for this West Mt. Airy Twin. The garden wrapped around the front porch where the Homeowner and her dog meet and greet neighbors on this charming street. Although the garden was small, we broke it down into three distinctive areas for added interest and functionality. 1) An irregular flagstone patio and walkway made of Colonial Steppers and creeping thyme gaps. 2) A side rock garden. and 3) A border garden along the front sidewalk. Hydrangeas, a Japanese Maple, and evergreen shrubs add structure, variety and interest. During the transition, we met so many friendly neighbors. Now this is one of the most popular spots on the street.

Design ideas for a southwestern landscaping in Phoenix.

This project represents the evolution of a 10 acre space over more than three decades. It began with the pool and space around it. As the vegetable garden grew, the orchard was established and the display gardens blossomed. The prairie was restored and a kitchen was added to complete the space. Although, it continues to change with a pond next on the design plan. Photo credit: Linda Oyama Bryan

A friend had found this sun on a clearance rack. It was rusted and was a dull brass color. I loved the movement of the rays and wanted the colors to show that strength and movement. El Sol!
