Unassuming from the street, this hideaway family home was a joy! Featuring 5 ensuite bedrooms, floor to ceiling windows, atrium, lap pool, and guest/pool house to boot. This home sold before it even hit the market by first viewers at full asking price.

We designed and installed a new portico and stairway to make the entry the focal point of this home. The new landscaping frames it, drawing the viewer's eye to the entrance.

This beautiful, warm kitchen presents a modern, yet traditionally, country flare with all the appliances and storage to make it a dream kitchen. Cherry cabinetry lines the walls and hides away convenient, pull-out storage units. This kitchen invites the viewer to come in and sit a while.

This client wanted to turn his large, sloped backyard garden bed into a perennial meadow filled with lush grasses, herbaceous perennials, and foundation shrubs. We designed the garden to hold the viewer’s senses in balance between structure and movement. After the initial rip-out, we added strategically placed foundation shrubs, including hydrangea, cypress, and euonymus, to hold the form of the garden in place and to give a sense of stability and weight. Then we painted the hillside with drifts of perennial grasses, astilbe, veronica, and geum, weaving one into the next for a feeling of natural, effortless flow.

Remarkable focal points in each area aim to capture the personality of the homeowners – An elegant vintage chandelier that draws the gaze when sitting in the parlor, baroque hand made paintings that add a French colonial charm to the dining room and a stunning marble fireplace with a pattern that just takes the viewer’s breath away and adds glamour to the living room. A lighter toned color brightens up the entire space while creating a rustic and comfortable decor overall. Comfy Shag rugs on the sofas ensure the family dog has a cozy spot to snuggle in. A vintage area rug with hand-selected accessories in the cabinets around the fireplace finish out a gorgeous and welcoming room. Dining area chairs with a pop of blue around a sturdy round oak table personify energy yet are classically elegant. A lot of time, effort and of course, patience went into this 4-year project. But the end result is a balanced, harmonious space that reflects the personality of the people who use it, which is what good Design is all about.

One of the houzz viewers has noted, "it's simple yet very county, and says fall all over it..And definitely different." This hay bale bench is actually very comfortable with the custom quilted seat pad. A great idea for kids birthday party or even for adults' get together venue on a nice autumn day.

Design ideas for a contemporary landscaping in Los Angeles.

This hand-cut flagstone patio with seatwall and inset lighting complements its beautiful woodland surroundings just outside Athens GA. The double function of the seatwall gives a clean, uncluttered look, as the space is kept free of furniture. The patio is designed and located to create an inviting view from the house, drawing the viewer outside, but without obstructing the view of the grounds. ZoomWorks
