Potting mixes for container gardens need to drain freely, but still retain moisture. My base potting soil mix contains (clockwise from upper left) coarse builder's sand, high-quality organic compost or worm castings, coconut coir, and small lava rock. I supplement this with additional compost, fresh worm castings, and organic soil amendments, with the amounts varying depending on what I'm planting. Photo by Steve Masley

This Arts and Crafts styled sprawling ranch has so much to offer the modern homeowner. A three car garage with extra storage adds space for a third automobile, workshop, or golf cart. Inside, each bedroom features elegant ceiling treatments, a walk-in closet and an adjacent full bathroom. A large utility room with a sink is conveniently placed down the hall from the secondary bedrooms. The large, gourmet kitchen includes a walk-in pantry and a large central island. The spacious dining room offers large windows and a buffet nook for furniture. Custom-style details abound in this luxurious plan with built-ins in the great room and breakfast areas. The well-appointed master suite includes a secluded sitting room that enjoys rear views, porch access and dual walk-in closets. The master bathroom is a spa-like retreat with dual vanities, a large walk-in shower, built-ins and a vaulted ceiling. The screened porch offers the best in year round outdoor living with a fireplace. A bonus space over the garage has nearly 800 square feet of space for future expansion, a large hobby space, home theatre or exercise room.

The original kitchen was dark and lacked storage space. It was cut off from the rest of the house and needed an update. We removed the wall between the dining room and kitchen and bumped the kitchen out in the rear of the house. We created lots of storage, a new island with seating and added windows bringing in much needed natural light. The kitchen is now a hub of activity for the whole family.
