Inspiration for a timeless laundry room remodel in Phoenix

This project is full of unique features, and as always lots of variation in textures and materials. The homeowners had just finished complety renovating the inside of this home, and were ready to tackle the outside environment surrounding it. Now the outside is just as gorgeous as the inside!!! We have a two tiered IPE (Brazillian Walnut) deck with a covered pergola over half of the space. Large 10"x10" cedar post & large cedar beams make this not just any........ "PERGOLA". Fans, TV, and lighting make this an area to enjoy all year long. The lower deck features a linear firepit stacked with dual 8' gas burners. Since its an elevated deck railing is important for saftey of their guests, but who wants to obstruct the view of those beautiful sunsets over the pond, so we decided to use custom cable railing to finish the deck space. We then hardscaped along the front of the home layering it into the natural terrain of the property. As you enter the front entrance there is a wonderful piece of artwork that is highlighted in hte space. As if that is not enough we then transformed the north end of the home with a private patio space with "ANOTHER" one of a kind pergola. It is so hard to put all this work into perspective in just photos, but we tried our best. We hope you enjoy the awsome transformation!!! Another reason to ask Fiano Landscapes to transform your world!!!

Expansive Glass Wall Transforms Home into Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Retreat For this Campbell, CA, homeowner, the goal was to blur the boundaries between inside and out. The goal was to expand the living areas into the outdoor patio, making the home feel larger, more welcoming, and better suited for both relaxing and entertaining. Bringing the homeowner’s vision to life, Brad Cox, Architect, Inc., specified two aluminum framed folding glass walls to connect the primary living spaces to the outdoors. View all 2025 NanaAward Winners Expanding Space with Light and Openness with Folding Glass Walls The installation of NanaWall folding glass walls reimagined the home’s main living area as a continuous flow between the kitchen, dining, and outdoor patio. When fully open, the doors erase the boundary between interior and exterior spaces, creating a single, interconnected space for day-to-day living. Even when closed, the floor-to-ceiling glass panels flood the home with natural light, establishing a bright, uplifting atmosphere that enhances comfort and connection to nature. A Seamless Connection to the Outdoor Environment According to the homeowner, “With the folding glass walls, our outdoor space became a true extension of our home. When open, the doors completely remove the barrier between the interior and the outside, allowing the two areas to merge into one continuous, functional space.” The result is a living space that feels larger, more inviting, and perfectly adapted to the rhythms of family life and social gatherings alike. “One of the most compelling reasons we chose NanaWall was how their doors create a truly open living space between indoors and outdoors. Choosing NanaWall also meant choosing high-quality craftsmanship and design flexibility. Their systems are built to withstand various weather conditions while maintaining energy efficiency, security, and ease of use,” — Homeowner.

In Hawaii, people cry “E ala!” to wake each other. After your first night in Hästens Eala, you may well understand the reasoning behind the choice of names. This is a bed created to make you more alert, more patient – even, dare we say it, friendlier – each moment you are not in it. It’s the extra layers in Hästens Eala that make for such extraordinary sleep. Layer upon layer upon layer of horsetail hair, wool, cotton and flax are masterly handcrafted to create the optimum environment for restful nights. And even more awakened days. These natural fibers absorb the moisture your body produces during the night, transporting it away through the sides of the bed. At the same time, fresh air circulates freely around your body. Two spring systems, featuring flax-reinforced corners, complete the comfort experience. The objective behind this meticulous method? To provide every last part of your body with precisely the support it longs for.

Kyles loved his home. He and Jill both saw the potential, but years of living with the inability to bring it to life left Jill frustrated. After viewing my projects on Houzz they called me in to help them. As a young family, they wanted their guest to enter a home that felt complete, warm and welcoming. Additionally, the desire was to have a highly usable space to gather as a family, with friends in a comfortable, worry free environment. For this reason, careful thought was given to the selections to insure they be highly durable and cleanable. Because they live a casual lifestyle they felt the space designed to be a formal dining room would be unused as such. It was decided that converting it to a "music room" to house their piano made more sense. Now the family can entertain with comfort as well as gather to enjoy music, games on the oversized cocktail table or just read in a beautiful quite space. So, working together, we've been able to convert Kyles conundrum to Jills joy!

Spaces and moments... This is a little vignette in front of the fireplace in the master bedroom. It is a collection of found, collected, pieces from countries around the world. A perfect example of bringing different cultures and styles together in a way that makes sense. NOTE: Persian Tribal rug with Asian lacquered chairs (a Restore find). Chairs were reupholstered in leopard print and accentuated with fun, glam-y blush pink throw pillows. A bit of a wink to the fun, sparkly, girly side of my personality! Also, of note: The his and her alpaca teddy bears. A purchase from one of the artisan markets in Peru. My foundational philosophy: If you like it... Buy it! You like it for a reason. Your environment and your personal style is expression of you! Make it work!

Photo: Travis Rathbone from 62nd to 158th Street along Manhattan’s West Side, Riverside Park is a vast expanse of green space on the edge of the Hudson River. The park is home to beautiful gardens, landscaped paths, sports facilities, public art, and some of the most stunning river views. For that reason it is widely regarded as Manhattan’s most spectacular waterfront park. No wonder it is one of the most sought after neighborhoods in the city. This interior project set along the scenic section of the Hudson came with only one criteria….make it cool. As a second home and city escape the client wanted a hip retreat for family and guests with a turn key interior. DL happily accepted the challenge creating unique and beautiful custom pieces and selecting everything from the wall-coverings to the kitchen appliances. As this was a secondary residence we had the freedom and flexibility to create an even more artful environment. These elements are apparent with the strong use of metal, concrete and the sculptural details of the furniture.
