Here is a recent walk in that we did. The closet is a Master his and hers, and has respective islands and sides accordingly. Traditional raised panel drawers and doors were used, along with contrasting island tops that I think go nicely with the Summer Flame laminate.

Living room - coastal living room idea in Phoenix

Always at your side when you relax, our wood Plantation Side Table is one of the most useful pieces to add to a patio or porch. The roomy 25" diameter tabletop will hold a pile of your summer reading along with a glass of iced tea and bowl of snacks. Edamame, anyone? Or place a small outdoor lamp on it, to set the mood for stirring or languid conversation by cocktails. The classic slat design has a glossy painted finish. Simple assembly.

Summer in Houston has a way of changing the rhythm of everyday life. Mornings start a little earlier, evenings stretch a little longer, and weekends seem to invite you outside. It is a season for enjoying the city, slowing down when you can, and making the most of the time you have. For those considering Houston high rise condos, summer can also offer a fresh perspective on what it means to choose a home. At The Parklane, life is not simply about living above the city. It is about having Houston's green spaces, cultural destinations, dining, recreation, and everyday conveniences woven into the experience of home. Located alongside Hermann Park in the Museum District, The Parklane offers a setting where summer can feel both connected and wonderfully removed from the pace of the city.

Pictured here is a view from the back of the pool looking at the back of this Nantucket Styled home. Tucked seamlessly within the design, the pool offers an oasis of refreshment, reflecting the clear blue hues of the Atlantic.

This is an example of a traditional backyard stone garden path in New York for summer.

Beautiful outdoor living space. The Serviceberry tree by the boulder waterfall and Native Hawthorn (which sets just outside of this picture) will bloom with small flowers in Spring. From Spring into Summer all of the perennials will bloom: the purples, of the Cranesbill Geranium flower, the yellows of the Yarrow and greens of the Fountain Grass will grow near the boulder waterfall and near the back of the house lighter-silvery green plants known as Lavender, Yarrow and Snow in Summer will display purple, yellow and white flowers, respectively.
