Design ideas for a traditional landscaping in Houston.

Working in small or awkward spaces is often the most rewarding because the problem solving required calls on one’s creativity. The slanted ceiling nook in this tween bedroom is a great example of how to turn a demerit into an asset. Instead of trying to ignore it, the feature is played up here with the bold stripe treatment. The nook’s utility is maximized by using a corner desk and creating custom wood shelves affixed to the wall using plumbing piping. Storage space remained a challenge in the room, and if we added a tall storage unit to the wall where one could fit, we would be blocking the light and views of the windows. The solution was to create a long, built-in bench with drawer storage below and two long wooden shelves, higher up the wall, for books and personal items. To bring in an industrial vibe and complement the iron bed, we distressed the wood and used plumbing pipes and fixtures for shelf support. Pops of yellow as a repeating element bring energy and personality to the space. Custom bedding, pillows, and window seat fabric from Spoonflower. Images ©Spoonflower and ©Sloan Polish Design.

With help from my design-savvy client, I was able to create a stylish yet practical solution to her functional problems in the existing kitchen. The space was dark, cramped, and disorganized. While making dinner, she ran back and forth through a two-way door to communicate with her children in the family room. Backpacks and homework spilled into the kitchen and lights were on regardless of the time of day. To solve these issues, we opened up the wall between the family room to improve communication and bring in more natural light. A mud room was defined by adding walls near the back door. We raised the ceiling to the original height and the new opening was trimmed to match all existing openings for a seamless design. Making dinner has a whole new outlook with a custom island that faces the family room and the warm southern sunlight. We finished it off embracing current trends with grey cabinets, marble counters with backsplash, brushed brass hardware and open shelving.

Already partially enclosed by an ipe fence and concrete wall, our client had a vision of an outdoor courtyard for entertaining on warm summer evenings since the space would be shaded by the house in the afternoon. He imagined the space with a water feature, lighting and paving surrounded by plants. With our marching orders in place, we drew up a schematic plan quickly and met to review two options for the space. These options quickly coalesced and combined into a single vision for the space. A thick, 60” tall concrete wall would enclose the opening to the street – creating privacy and security, and making a bold statement. We knew the gate had to be interesting enough to stand up to the large concrete walls on either side, so we designed and had custom fabricated by Dennis Schleder (www.dennisschleder.com) a beautiful, visually dynamic metal gate. Other touches include drought tolerant planting, bluestone paving with pebble accents, crushed granite paving, LED accent lighting, and outdoor furniture. Both existing trees were retained and are thriving with their new soil. Photography by: http://www.coreenschmidt.com/

Window treatments are often needed to solve specific and intricate problems, and we pride ourselves on the knowledge we bring to each and every customer. In this Spring Lake home, the client's sliding glass door looked out onto a deck, a yard, and an intersection that brings cars in from different angles. They wanted to be able to have control of how much they saw through the glass and, of course, how much folks outside were able to see in. Our solution was plantation shutters with Invisitilt (hidden tilt bar) and split-tilt louvers, which provide an array of view-through options by allowing you to open & close sections separately. Mission accomplished!

The Techo-Bloc Grill Island brings style to the BBQ by incorporating it into your backyard’s landscape design. For many years the BBQ has been a heavy mass that sits outside your patio door, looking like more of an eye sore than an intricate part of outdoor summer fun. The Techo-Bloc Grill Island solves this problem by transforming your BBQ into an impressive hardscape feature. A grocery list of Techo-Bloc materials and an assembly guide for easy installation is provided. Techo-Bloc preferred to offer the Grill Island this way, in order to leave room for the designer and homeowner’s own preferences and customizations.
