In the fall of 2021, this unused space was reimagined and turned into the Good Place HomeBar. The concept of creating a home bar came first then came the name that was so fitting! In early 2020, a young tech couple and their four adorable kitties moved into this 5-bedroom residence in Cupertino, CA. The residence has a beautiful hillside Spanish architecture, although it needed a lot of updates due to its age. This is where Ty Karges Home was hired to help with turning an unusual landing space, where the cat castle playground used to be, into a home bar. Due to spatial constraints, Ty had to measure every inch of the space to ensure that every piece of furniture that she brought in maximized the number of seats and accommodated a full bar while leaving enough walkway to maneuver around. It was a challenge to outfit a full bar. A slim profile custom IronAbode wall shelf helped to ensure that every inch of the wall space was utilized for storage. Another unique custom piece is the waterfall wood-epoxy counter height table that was made to exact dimensions to ensure the flow within the space. With intentions, we also incorporated modern industrial iron work details that seamlessly blend in with the existing Spanish architecture. Aesthetically, we combined a lot of nice with a little bit of naughty. Hence, we named this space the Good Place HomeBar after the couple’s favorite comedy series! You may notice the custom logo on the sign to the right of the bar. What these images do not show here is that this space can really host a party when we ask Alexa to lower the schumacher-trimmed custom roman shades and all the Philips Hue lights to change colors to the music. The kitties of course still love to hang out in this space. Not to worry, the sectional is made of a performance fabric. The rug is also washable.

This tree is originally from the plantations of South East Asia, and can grow to a height of 30 - 40 m. As part of its life cycle, this tree sheds its leaves every year at dry season. Its longevity is very great, the Teak tree often living to an age of 100 years. Teak is especially noted for its capacity to withstand changes in the weather and season. One of the reasons for this is the ability of the Teak to bend, but not break, in the face of high winds. Minimal Maintenance Required While Teak is naturally resistant to bacteria and mildew; you may still see a buildup of soap residue and mineral or other impurities from your water. Therefore we strongly recommends performing routine cleanings when you clean your shower or bathroom. FSC Certified/Sustainable The teak we use is grown in West Africa and is FSC Certified.

This whole-property landscape renovation in Normandy Estates, Littleton, Colorado, transformed an aging landscape into a cohesive collection of personalized outdoor living spaces. Designed around the homeowners’ lifestyle, entertaining needs and approximately $200,000 budget, the project connects the front entry, side yard, backyard, spa and garden areas while preserving the property’s mature trees and natural relationship with the adjacent open space. Belgard Aspen Tumbled pavers create a consistent material palette across the new front patio, garage and street walkways, side patio, lower backyard patio and pathway to the recessed spa. Built into the hillside, the hot tub is surrounded by a retaining wall and layered plantings that provide privacy and make the spa feel naturally integrated into the landscape. A custom gas fire-pit area with a stone and flagstone seating wall, integrated lighting and a natural slab-stone stairway provides a welcoming destination for outdoor entertaining. The planting design features drought-tolerant and deer-resistant trees, shrubs, ornamental grasses and perennials selected for seasonal color, texture and low-maintenance performance in Colorado’s climate. Existing mature trees were carefully protected, while dedicated drip-irrigation water wells, expanded irrigation zones and a new sprinkler control system support the long-term health of the landscape. A xeriscape area near the driveway, new landscape edging and fresh mulch complete the property’s polished appearance. Behind the finished design, French-drain improvements provide effective landscape drainage, while custom outdoor lighting adds beauty, safety and nighttime ambiance throughout the property. Finishing details—including a custom mailbox and invisible dog fence—were personalized to the homeowners’ needs. The result is a professionally designed Littleton landscape that balances Colorado outdoor living, functionality and natural beauty across every part of the property.
