Granite is lustrous, rich, and crystalline, can be honed to a gloss, is smooth to the touch, very hard and 100% natural. Quartz is lustrous, deep and dimensional and can be honed to desired gloss. It’s smooth to the touch and hard, but can scorch. Quartz is 93% natural and 7% manmade. Marble is deep, rich and illuminating, and polishes to a very high gloss. While beautiful and very hard, marble does have a higher tendency to scratch and scorch. Marble is 100% natural. Solid Surface is uniform and has a matte-like structure. It’s never glossy and can scratch, but it’s sandable. Solid Surface provides texture, and seams are mostly invisible. Solid Surface is 66% natural and 33% polymers.

This home was in urgent need of a landscape renovation because the large ficus trees were destroying the driveway. And the overall look of the old plants certainly didn't show off the house. Once all the old plants were removed, the messy ficus trees were replaced with Japanese fern trees, which can be maintained at a size that keeps the house visible from the street - an important safety consideration. Layers of flowers were planted underneath the trees including golden shrimp plants, purple ruellia (no longer used because if it's invasive tendencies) and cranberry pentas. Pamela Crawford designed and installed the makeover. Discover thousands of ideas on Pamela's web site, pamela-crawford.com.

We lifted this house several feet in the air, and reworked all the interior spaces to accommodate three private guest suites, each complete with their own bathroom. The beachy, casual vibe carries throughout the spaces, thanks to the owners' (an architect/artist duo) creative vision.
