Patio container garden - backyard stone patio container garden idea in Denver with no cover

We built the 6’ wood-burning outdoor fireplace at one end of the patio cover, in the center, designed with hardscape firewood storage boxes on either side. We carefully matched the stone here to the stone on the front of home, a combination of white limestone with nicotine and blue Lueders limestone. Finally, we used standard buff Lueders stone to top the horizontal surfaces—the mantel, the hearth and the hardscape firewood storage boxes.

We also added a custom gas-burning stone fire pit with a curved stone seating wall just off the covered patio. We used Austin chopped stone in the color Nicotine for the fire pit surround and seating wall, along with gray Lueder’s stone tops.

The previous owner was an inside smoker of 60 years, walls were stained with nicotine and a strong smell filled the home. Special preparation was needed to properly seal the substrate to block all nicotine stains and prevent tar from absorbing into our finish coat. A special shallac primer was used which blocked all stains and stench and provided a sound surface for our finish coat to adhere to. After painting was completed it couldn't be noticed it had been filled with with 60 years of daily smoking.

With respect to the notion of old-meets-new, the kitchen strikes a comfortable balance between materials. For the center island, Franklin repurposed original barn siding into cladding for the unit, painting it grey. The Corian counter top and stainless steel backsplash provide a cool contrast. A set of antique barstools was a fortunate find for the homeowner. Sourced from a local bar that had closed, all they needed was a little elbow grease to realize their full potential. It took days to remove years worth of nicotine stains from them, but as Franklin exclaims, "It was worth it because the old stools found a new home in an old barn!" The partial wall was designed to address a number of functional and aesthetic concerns. Dividing the workspace from the storage space, it keeps the pantry area out of view, and allows light to carry through this area of the home. Franklin also uses the wall as a means to display his growing teapot collection. "It’s funny," he confesses, "but I think they can entice people to sit down, have a cup of tea and converse (Imagine that in this world of technology!)" Adrienne DeRosa Photography
