Check out the spectacular views on this Brooklyn rooftop garden! Our design included a total makeover of a previously barren space, including replacing the dingy looking concrete pavers with ipe wood deck tiles. We also designed a custom L-shaped ipe bench with seats that lift up for storage and planters filled with soft grasses built into the back of the bench. The lush looking plantings in this garden are in a mix of ipe and fiberglass pots and include Tardiva hydrangeas, white multi-stem birch trees, Mexican feather grasses, boxwoods, angelonia, purple coneflower, and a weeping redbud tree. The planters are illuminated with LED low-voltage up-lights for a dramatic nighttime effect.

This round container was just planted as part of a summer changeover in Dedham, MA. It is filled with a purple Iris, Salvia, Grey/Blue Sedum, Purple Million Bells, and a Pink Begonia. These flowers from and spread throughout the summer, creating a beautiful & full pot! It is also set up to be watered through a drip water supply. Frank Crandall

The Challenge This original mid-century Colorado Springs home hadn’t been updated in 40 years. We were tasked with transforming a dysfunctional, outdated space into a seamless design that maintained the integrity of the original architecture - including a challenging layout, seven different flooring types, and old lighting and electrical. The Solution Within a limited budget we streamlined the finish palette with natural materials to play with the concept of indoor/outdoor living; gutted the bedrooms and combined two guest rooms into one large master suite; updated the electrical with recessed cans and Noguchi fixtures (which pay homage to the home’s 1960s roots); and filled the home with new furniture and accessories that speak to the homeowner’s love of modern design.

Kitchen - scandinavian kitchen idea in Portland

This soothing transitional kitchen has an extremely comfortable and welcoming feel due to the color scheme. The perimeter cabinets are Sonoma Maple in Pebble Java while the contrasting island is Shadow Charcoal. The Cambria quartz countertops are Sussex on the perimeter and Darlington for the island. To add height to this room, we took the wall cabinets up to the 9 foot ceiling with a decorative stacked crown. The long wall features two very large pantry cabinets as well as a nice buffet/butlers pantry area with glass doors and appliance garages. Storage is maximized in this kitchen leaving the homeowner with cabinet space to fill! Many conveniences are included such as the waste basket pullout, pots and pans drawers, roll outs in the pantry cabinet, and of course, the appliance garages! This was a great project to work on!

The clients in this charming ranch home had a wish for an updated kitchen that felt a part of the home by blending into the existing space. Their existing eat-in kitchen, while spacious, lacked the character of the rest of the home. Rich woods and earth tones filled the cozy rooms leaving the outdated kitchen uninspired. Supple cherry tones of the new cabinetry and alluring cashmere hues in the one-o-a-kind granite countertops wrap you in warmth and invite you to take a seat at the grand island. Turned posts and arched trim details throughout draw your eyes around this timeless kitchen. Zachary Seib Photography

This town home job was a complete transformation from an old, dirty, insignificant front and back yard to living in luxury with the space provided. This job required for us to do a bit of demo, including cutting, and ripping out the sidewalk in the front yard, all pavement and old decking in the backyard, and replacing it with appealing, level pavers all the way around. Along with this beautiful change, we also replaced the fence in the backyard, and put in a nice decorative fence in the front yard. In addition to these adjustments, we provided 4 large very nice pots in the front yard, filled and placed them. Added top soil, sod, river rock, and planted some plants in the front yard. Made sure all pavers were retaining their positioning, and waited time for client to get other renovations, when finished we anchored and placed a pergola between the garage and home and stained it. In short: Demoed job site by removing all concrete, ordered fountain, leveled terrain, created customer-selected custom arbor, placed liner where necessary, built fence in front yard, added mulch, added sand, additional leveling, and pavers in front and back, added metal edging, planted plants, brought in various pots and placed them, added sod, added river rock, received fountain and put it in place, removed and redid fence in backyard, built and stained pergola.

This is a half-acre garden near the center of Towson, so it’s on the edge between urban and suburban. My dad, Wolfgang Oehme, designed the garden initially. After a change in ownership, I was asked to redesign much of the garden since it needed some help since it had been neglected. I designed and installed much of the planting that you see in the photos. I also redesigned the planting for the fish pond, butterfly garden in the rear, pollinator garden in the front, and I install annuals that fill the 9 pots at the front steps and rear deck and patio. I also have designed many fruiting trees and shrubs throughout. I continue to oversee the maintenance of this garden. Photo by Roland Oehme.

The image showcases a sleek and modern kitchen island setup. The island features a white marble countertop with subtle gray veining, providing a clean and elegant surface. Above the island, two large black pendant lights with a conical shape hang from the ceiling, adding a bold contrast to the light color scheme. The island is adorned with a textured white vase filled with green foliage, bringing a natural touch to the space, alongside a wooden bowl containing green artichokes. In the background, light wooden cabinets with black handles line the kitchen, complementing the island's design. A black backsplash and a gold faucet add sophistication, while a stovetop and white pots are visible, indicating a functional cooking area. Three black bar stools with woven seats are positioned at the island, creating a cozy spot for casual dining or gathering. The overall aesthetic is contemporary, with a warm and inviting feel.
