This fireplace is located in a book-filled library with views out into a forest. We chose a green and leafy design to complement the sense of so many trees just outside. The designs for the leaves were based on actual leaves collected around the city of Boulder and sketched onto tiles. The background color on the tiles is a gloss forest green that also matches the felt on the pool table in the library. The leaves are a matte yellow with gloss edging. This provides an interesting tactile contrast. The tiles themselves are sized for exact fit within the alcove. No tiles were cut down in this installation. The large scale of the installation provides an extremely useful thermal mass associated with the fireplace. Photo by Marla Rutherford

This spacious, multi-level backyard in San Luis Obispo, CA, once completely underutilized and overtaken by weeds, was converted into the ultimate outdoor entertainment space with a custom pool and spa as the centerpiece. A cabana with a built-in storage bench, outdoor TV and wet bar provide a protected place to chill during hot pool days, and a screened outdoor shower nearby is perfect for rinsing off after a dip. A hammock attached to the master deck and the adjacent pool deck are ideal for relaxing and soaking up some rays. The stone veneer-faced water feature wall acts as a backdrop for the pool area, and transitions into a retaining wall dividing the upper and lower levels. An outdoor sectional surrounds a gas fire bowl to create a cozy spot to entertain in the evenings, with string lights overhead for ambiance. A Belgard paver patio connects the lounge area to the outdoor kitchen with a Bull gas grill and cabinetry, polished concrete counter tops, and a wood bar top with seating. The outdoor kitchen is tucked in next to the main deck, one of the only existing elements that remain from the previous space, which now functions as an outdoor dining area overlooking the entire yard. Finishing touches included low-voltage LED landscape lighting, pea gravel mulch, and lush planting areas and outdoor decor.
