The gazebo had turn into the temporary storage space, however, all the outdoor kitchen equipment in the gazebo has been updated and the walkways were festooned. The existing palms on each gazebo walkways, native coconut and fox tail were surrounded with zoysia grass, ferns, caladiums, cordylines, and several Spanish style urns found as treasures from the past in the garden.

Knowing that this was the house they would raise their family in, this Arlington Heights couple decided a complete overhaul of their kitchen was necessary. Originally, the space was cramped, with a funky layout and minimal storage. With a the help of a torn down wall, added bar, and massive island, this kitchen turned into a truly stunning feature for their forever home.

Rewired and painted some old light fixtures to give them that "Art Deco" look. Wire is braided cloth but modern and safer than trying to use the original conductors.

Skim coat and repaint.

Small in scale but rich in detail, an interior designer brought a jewel box vision to life in the kitchen of her 1900 Georgetown row home. Drawing from the lush backyard garden, she chose Snaidero cabinetry in Alps Green and Burnished Gold Mica Matte Lacquers, paired with Bronzed frame glass units for the uppers and white quartz counters with gold veining. Handleless cabinets and clean lines help the space feel open, elegant, and ideal for entertaining.

To ensure that the stairs ended (or began!) at just the right point at the edge of the patio, Archadeck of Central CT began building the stairs at the bottom and worked our way up. This is a reversal of the usual process, and it worked out just right. The new stairs meet the patio at a place called the "soldier course," which is the contrasting rim of brick around the patio edge. We installed Fortress LED lighting on the stair risers for safety after dark. Photos courtesy Archadeck of Central CT.

This Pond Renovation project in Lancaster, PA consisted of removal of the existing pond and installation of a new pond measuring roughly 16′ x 18′ and wrapping around the patio and included pond LED lighting. The waterfalls and stream were moved to the left of the current waterfall for better viewing and the landscaping around the water feature will changed based on the new shape. We transplanted existing plants and put a fresh coat of mulch around the patio and pond area to finish it off.
