APLD 2021 Silver Award Winning Landscape Design. An expansive back yard landscape with several mature oak trees and a stunning Golden Locust tree has been transformed into a welcoming outdoor retreat. The renovations include a wraparound deck, an expansive travertine natural stone patio, stairways and pathways along with concrete retaining walls and column accents with dramatic planters. The pathways meander throughout the landscape... some with travertine stepping stones and gravel and those below the majestic oaks left natural with fallen leaves. Raised vegetable beds and fruit trees occupy some of the sunniest areas of the landscape. A variety of low-water and low-maintenance plants for both sunny and shady areas include several succulents, grasses, CA natives and other site-appropriate Mediterranean plants complimented by a variety of boulders. Dramatic white pots provide architectural accents, filled with succulents and citrus trees. Design, Photos, Drawings © Eileen Kelly, Dig Your Garden Landscape Design

Inspiration for a mid-sized craftsman l-shaped medium tone wood floor enclosed kitchen remodel in New York with an undermount sink, shaker cabinets, white cabinets, marble countertops, white backsplash, stone tile backsplash, white appliances and an island

A new porch highlights the front door, once difficult to find, on this variation of a traditional Cape Cod home. Ample windows on axis with the living room entry focus a visitor’s attention on a sun filled garden terrace and water feature. From above, light streams through a ridge clerestory, inspired by the client’s love of the Stanford University Barn’s similar roof detail. The newly raised ceiling creates a lofty, inviting space. Below the living room, a new basement home theater is finished with fine wood paneling and accented with art from their collection.

Example of a transitional l-shaped medium tone wood floor and brown floor eat-in kitchen design in New York with shaker cabinets, gray cabinets, gray backsplash, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, an island and white countertops

This cast iron urn is filled with Magnolia branches, Yellow Stem Dogwood, Noble Fir, Blue Atlas Cedar, Pine Cones and dried fruit slices. Traditional red clashed with the color of the front door - so we went a little outside of the 'box' for this front entryway! ay embellishments!

Inspiration for an eclectic landscaping in New Orleans.

Simple black containers are filled for the season with White Pine branches, red Winterberry Holly, Red Stem Dogwood and dried seed pods. A welcome sign of the quickly approaching holiday season!

We love this charming garden in San Anselmo, California. This garden uses traditional materials in a minimal and clean way to create a perfect blend between old and new. The client wanted to keep the water feature and a few of the property's existing trees and the result feels natural and peaceful. Pedersen Associates added the blue stone alfresco dining patio, the living room patio off of the home's great room, the bluestone step pavers (which connect the house to a detached garage), the broad swath of stone stadium seating and a BBQ area cleanly nestled against the garage. The garden palette is primarily green and white to set up a neutral, evergreen backdrop. The client uses pots filled with annuals to layer in pops of seasonal color.

The colorful plantings in these containers break up the long white wall of the courtyard. Taken immediately after planting, this picture shows how dense the initial planting was in order to have a look of "instant" fullness and color. Lobelia can tend to fade out in the heat of summer, but by the time this happened, the Coleus, Garten Meister Fuchsia, and trailing annuals were all large enough to fill in.

To add warmth and welcome to their new kitchen, we chose a nice cherry island top with edge grain exposed.

A colonial waterfront home in Mamaroneck was renovated to add this expansive, light filled kitchen with a rustic modern vibe. Solid maple cabinetry with inset slab doors color matched to Benjamin Moore Super White. Brick backsplash with white cabinetry adds warmth to the cool tones in this kitchen. A rift sawn oak island features plank style doors and drawers is a rustic contrast to the clean white perimeter cabinetry. Perimeter countertops in Caesarstone are complimented by the White Macauba island top with mitered edge. Concrete look porcelain tiles are low maintenance and sleek. Copper pendants from Blu Dot mix in warm metal tones. Cabinetry and design by Studio Dearborn. Appliances--Wolf, refrigerator/freezer columns Thermador; Bar stools Emeco; countertops White Macauba.

A young colonial in the heart of Rye New York had everything going for it, except a dark and poorly laid out kitchen. The clients tapped Sarah Robertson of Studio Dearborn to help them layout a new kitchen in their challenging, dog leg shaped room. A small breakfast peninsula and working island helped pull together the oddly shaped kitchen into a streamlined, light filled space with all the storage amenities typical of a Studio Dearborn kitchen. The bar area, with undercounter refrigeration for wine and beverages, also features a locking cabinet for liquor and open wine storage. Desk area has file drawer and Docking Drawer charging drawer.
