Axminster Gold comfrey - great foliage for sun or part shade Le jardinet

This low-maintenance garden has been transformed with very little flower color. A harmonious solution, where I used texture and foliage color as stars of the show. Cooper plants edge the garden with their rusty mix of coppery reds with bright pink accents, found in the pavers. A reliable choice they work well for their splashes of constant accent color. See how they work beautifully they add interest to background. Another benefit is they grow quickly to full formed size of about 3 to 5 feet. These have doubled in size in four months. Their spiky flowers pale in comparison to the beauty and color of the leaves of the copper plant, so plan on enjoying this one simply for its leaves. If crotons are not your cup of tea, these colorful foliage plants are an outstanding substitute.

This project was so much fun! This growing family of 3 wanted to transform their open-concept master suite by updating the ensuite. With carefully selected finishes and colour palettes to move them from dark and dreary to bright and beautiful. We found the perfect tile to display a great herringbone pattern with complimentary textured tile for the backsplash around the tub. The radiant heat floor in the ensuite will keep little toes warm in the winter. The carefully crafted 10 ft, floating, double vessel vanity allows ample space for use by family members - all at the same time! The beautiful wood used in the vanity was duplicated in the master bedroom when we created a floating shelf to be used as a TV console. It was important to hide cords and wires from the wee ones. New black-out draperies will allow this family to catch a few extra winks during extended daylight hours.

Soft pinks, bright whites and a fresh, mint green wall are the perfect colors for this baby girl's nursery. Feminine bows on the crib, plush blankets and subtle patterns on the curtains make it easy for the child to grow up with the room. We found that simple posters, plush animals and faux florals are easy, safe ways to complement the shades of pink and green in the room. Featured in this gallery is the Nearly Natural Fancy Rose in pink. Add flowers to a nursery or playroom without having to worry about allergies, upkeep and water spills.

In south Seattle, a tiny backyard garden needed a makeover to add usability and create a sitting area for entertaining. Raised garden beds for edible plants provide the transition between the existing deck and new patio below, eliminating the need for a railing. A firepit provides the focal point for the new patio. Angles create drama and direct flow to the steel stairs and gate. Installed June, 2014. Photography: Mark S. Garff ASLA, LLA
