Bathroom - tropical green tile beige floor bathroom idea in Hawaii with shaker cabinets, medium tone wood cabinets, white walls, a drop-in sink and green countertops

This stunning bathroom design was inspired by a lush tropical garden. We used this gorgeous green glass tile to bring the calming colors of the garden into the bathroom. The teak shutters behind the tub open to the private garden and a large floor length mirror on the opposite wall give the illusion of the whole bathroom being outside. A frame-less glass door in the shower leads to the private garden courtyard and outdoor shower. The gold fixtures are Kohler. The walls are white with white paneled doors, the mirrors are teak and the custom freestanding vanities are white with gold hardware to match the plumbing fixtures. The shower pan is gray pebble keeping with the theme of indoor-outdoor design. The bathroom floors are gray porcelain tile.

Even though this is a relatively small site, the Rain Garden Island theme with surrounding creek-way, makes it feel like you can travel through the landscape. The large surrounding fir, hemlock, cedar and Maple trees afford beautifully changing lighting from minute to minute. Perfect for native plants.

The Buddha sits on a bed of stones and is honored by fallen blossoms, pieces of pottery, shells and any other beautiful thing that deserves a pride of place for a moment.

The courtyard promotes the theme of the overall landscape design. Being Minimalist the placement of plants and formation of both rocks and cut stones provided the balance in contrast to the space. The Foxtail Palms compliments the structure in the background whilst the understory consists of the Yellow Hop Clover, Sansevieria, and a well maintained shrub.

Succulents, grasses and low-water shrubs with vivid foliage give this coastal garden a rich, textured look with minimal maintenance. Exterior colors and furniture selection by Julie McMahon. Photos by Daniel Bosler

This is an example of a traditional landscaping in San Francisco.

Landmark Historic Estate - Master plan being executed over several phases including: -Foundations -Gravel Parterre Terraces -Great Lawn Borders -Garden Rooms with themed plantings design -Riverfront landings -Native Meadows 4400 acre property in sub-tropical zone 7b 30 acres of formal gardens and parks Landscape and garden restoration and re-design

The property is one of the original farm houses located on the main street of a small town. It has been in the family for many years and our client just inherited the property. They were trying to have balance of preserving the old while realizing modern day living has its benefits too. The house had a large addition added using mostly old style materials, but designed with function and modern day luxuries. Our goal was to carry that theme to the outside. Our first problem we had to address was how to transition between the first floor elevation changes. The lower room was the husband’s office. He stated in the future he may have clients over and it would be nice to have an area to sit outside. The wife’s main concern was to renew the four corner garden. She also felt it was very important to be able to see it from the kitchen area. Finally there was an old wishing well stuck right outside the kitchen. They both felt it would be neat to be able to incorporate this in some how. They wanted a patio area with a built in grill to accommodate there family and friends. They also wanted to keep a large play area for the kids. We were able to pull this off successfully. We addressed the first issue by having a small lower level flagstone area. This area is large enough for 1 to 2 people to sit comfortably. It also provides a transition from his office to the larger patio area. We installed a simple small gravel sitting area opposite of the main patio. This provides our client a secluded place to relax or do business. Mrs.... told me she is amazed how much her and her husband enjoys this area. It is so peaceful looking at the small creek over a glass of wine. We built a natural limestone retaining wall to create the patio terrace. The stone was chosen to extend the houses architectural elements into the landscape. Irregular broken flagstone was used to give it a more casual feel. We installed three Serviceberries into the patio terrace to replace some trees that were taken down during the remodeling. She was very concern that they would block the view of the four corner garden. We new they were crucial to nestle in the terrace, so we placed them for a couple days for her to decide. Fortunately she agreed they not only kept the view open, but helped frame the garden. The four corner garden was designed to be viewed from afar and experienced up close. We wanted the space to have some formal structure while keeping with the casual farm house feel. Another natural limestone retaining wall was created. This leveled the garden terrace and helped associate it with the rest of the property. The four corner garden is nestled into the existing woods edge. This provides three distinct experiences to entering the garden; a more formal from the driveway, an open feel from the lower lawn, and a more natural / casual experience from the wooded area. The Plymouth brown gravel was used for the center of the garden. This helped highlight the stone post that was found during construction. The gravel also brings the sense of sound into the garden space. Lamb’s ear was chosen as a fun way to get kids interest in horticulture. The balance of using the new to create the old feel is what makes this project a success. The property has already hosted a local historical society event and won an award for its preservation efforts. When Mrs.... can’t find her husband, she knows he is either reading the newspaper by the grill or resting in the hammock along the wood’s path.

Perhaps there could be the soothing sounds of water from a koi pond with a waterfall or a fountain. Chimes can sing softly in the breeze, or you can wire the pathways to listen to your favorite music. Let your #garden transport you to exotic or calming places without ever leaving your own backyard!
