This project focused on transforming the front yard into a clean, elegant, and low-maintenance landscape that enhances curb appeal while complementing the home’s architecture. We installed premium artificial turf to create a lush, green lawn year-round without the upkeep of natural grass. A curved concrete walkway was added to guide guests naturally from the sidewalk to the front entry, softening the layout and creating a welcoming approach.

This spectacular Lookout Mtn. estate looks like it would fit equally well in the Cotswold region of England. We arrived at a landscape filled with mass plantings of generic shrubs, very few perennials, few blooming shrubs, and a lack of Winter interest. We completely reworked the gardens…Added many more Boxwoods, Azaleas, Laurels, Yews, Osmanthus, Magnolia to boost the structure needed and add year-round interest. Then we added loads of white blooming hydrangea, Nepeta, Veronica, Roses for long term color. Espaliered Fruit Trees, Topiary and Tree Formed Hydrangeas added the formality and interest needed to bring in needed “old world” charm. We added large boulders to an otherwise underwhelming Dry Creek Bed and added all Native Plants in that area including Clethera and Itea. I envisioned a very formal parterre garden surrounding a fountain and added evergreen to soften the structure. Boxwood Topiary were placed in the center of each quadrant. I suggested formal planters with clipped evergreen boxwood to dress up the front of the large garage and the pool areas. Over- all this property exudes old world charm and elegance.

Have you ever wondered if your primary bathroom could triple in size? I know I have! This client came to Brittany’s Design with that exact question. By thoughtfully reconfiguring the bedroom, closet, and existing 40-square-foot bathroom, we transformed the space into a stunning 128-square-foot primary bathroom—and don’t worry, there is still a generous walk-in closet! The goal was to create a larger, more luxurious bathroom filled with durable, low-maintenance materials that would support long-term aging in place. A zero-threshold shower seamlessly integrates with the wood-look ceramic tile flooring, providing both accessibility and visual continuity. The shower walls are wrapped from floor to ceiling in a seamless Corian surround for effortless maintenance. A gorgeous Cambria quartz countertop adds organic movement while beautifully uniting the warm hues throughout the room. Mission accomplished: a once tiny and cramped bathroom is now an open, elegant, and highly functional primary retreat designed to be enjoyed for years to come!

Step into one of our most cherished client’s homes for yet another transformation of their amazing space. Project Manager, Tony Cicchino; Designer, Justina Auer; and TWO of our crews once again knocked it out of the park for this long-term client. Our team breathed new life into the exterior of this home by creating unmatched curb appeal. Gone is the old, tired façade, replaced with a refreshing sage green siding that radiates sophistication. The custom portico elevates the home’s grandeur to new heights and creates a welcoming view every time you pull into the driveway. Venturing inside, the transformation continues in the great room where we carefully selected new windows and pocket doors to match the rest of the interior. To maintain the integrity of the space, we opted for an almost identical bamboo flooring to match the existing style found throughout the rest of the home. One of the focal point of any great room is the fireplace, and this project was no exception. With meticulous attention to detail, a Cambria Quartz hearthstone was artfully installed, providing the perfect finishing touch to the splendor of the room. We can’t wait to see what the homeowners have in mind for their next renovation with Bennett!
