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 kitchen is a bustling hub of culinary activity, adorned with sleek countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an array of neatly organized utensils. The warm glow of recessed lighting accentuates the mosaic backsplash, while the aromatic symphony of spices fills the air. A well-worn cutting board bears witness to countless meals prepared with care, and the inviting aroma of a simmering pot adds a homely touch to this culinary haven.

Pencil-pleated draperies in an almond and vanilla floral fall from iron rods. In the windows hang woven blinds that echo the stain of the ceiling fan and walnut-stained hardwood floors. Two-toned inset cabinets offer both storage and display space and are painted the same color as the moldings. The stained interior brims with gracious personal touches including books, a mirrored photo frame, bronze bunny and ivy-filled vanilla pot. The traditional tufted chair is covered in cream chenille and topped with an eggshell throw. A bronze iron bed with leather headboard wears grey and taupe bedding punctuated by crisp white sheets. Bronze wall sconces flank the bed and call for a late night read.

In this kitchen we created a beautiful new space full of modern conveniences, but paired them with a timeless old-world European style. The original kitchen was cramped in a small corner of the space, so we stretched the layout to better utilize the available square footage, adding windows flanking the range to fill the room with natural light and create a dramatic focal point featuring our clients' gorgeous new range. The new large island provides the seating/entertainment space our clients had hoped for, and new floor to ceiling cabinets at both ends of the space maximizes storage, including a pantry and two new closet areas for coats and other family room storage that seamlessly flows from one room to the next.

This serene music room blends minimalist design with warmth and functionality. A sleek black piano, guitar display, and hidden storage within the slatted wood cabinetry keep the space both elegant and practical. Clerestory windows bring in natural light while maintaining privacy, enhancing the room’s calm and airy atmosphere. The soft, neutral-toned rug and warm wood finishes create a cozy setting, perfect for music and relaxation.
