Inspiration for a small transitional drought-tolerant and full sun backyard stone landscaping in Denver for summer.

Just Add Paint was called into action to finish this gorgeous houzz after the original painting company sent in some unqualified painters and ended up leaving the job before completion. And it was a good thing - we were mortified to find patches that had been painted over before sanding, joints on the tray ceiling and throughout with excess caulk that had been sealed in with paint, fuzzy walls from low grade paint rollers, splatter all over brand new hardwood floors, and the list goes on, We used every trick in the book that we had accumulated from years of experience to get this one cleaned up. It ended up feeling more like a restoration than a repaint, and we easily the most challenging and satisfying project this year. Very proud of work the crew did on this one and happy to put our name on it. Photos by Grant "Shutterbug" Tankersley

An installation of Barberry Alto Steps with a custom L-shaped landing. This design was inspired by the dark branches of Barberry bushes in winter seen against the white snow. They are hand knotted in Nepal at 100 knots in pure un-dyed black sheep, (which is truly a dark expresso brown) and light Himalayan natural sheep tone (very light grey beige). The design includes six different pieces which can be arranged to form a complete picture or randomly placed for an all-over effect. These can be custom ordered in "true" black and white, rather than in our natural un-dyed tones. Adhesive mesh is provided with each order. Set of 12 for $1,125. Single steps are $98

My clients wanted a new front and back garden which matched their lifestyle. Their main objectives were growing their own food and space for two enormous dogs to roam and play without destroying the rest of the garden. To this end, we used large and extra tall redwood beds (save your back!) in multiple sizes and shapes, plants that aren't easily broken by the occasional 130-lb dog romp, and a "grass" patch (walkable lawn alternative). All of the design elements are connected by decomposed granite pathways for a natural flow. Lastly, we added a fire pit and flagstone patio connected to the existing deck. The eating and living spaces capture the perfect South-facing sunlight most of the day. Now, all of the family members, including the furry ones, can relax and enjoy this peaceful spot.

To deal with the pain and excitement of their kids leaving the house for college, these empty nesters wanted to transform their lawn—once home to swing sets and games of catch—into a peaceful retreat. She was dead-set on a water feature, he really wanted a fire pit, and their dogs (which had moved up in rank since the kids were gone) needed a nice patch of grass to play on. The couple’s tastes had changed in the 20 years since they’d bought the Spanish- style bungalow, and they wanted a garden with a more contemporary feeling. Looking to the history of Spanish landscape design, we were able tweak traditional layouts and elements to create a more contemporary garden that fit the needs of all the inhabitants of the home—human and canine alike.

Step into the captivating mid-century-styled living room of this home, where sophistication meets comfort. A large reflector chandelier sets the tone and highlights the existing wood panel and beamed ceiling. Stacked stone fireplace, left untouched, now seamlessly blends with the room, while the replacement of three separate windows with black-framed stacking slider doors brings a modern architectural element, facilitating indoor-outdoor entertainment. Clean lines and thoughtful touches, like leather patches on custom swivel chairs and a modern dark wood coffee table, provide subtle elegance. With a contemporary and welcoming design, this living room is an ideal space for relaxation and gatherings.
