Useful under-the-stairs storage: this broom closet houses swifter mops and stick vacuum (an outlet is inside). Cabinet doors are painted the same color as the wall and are open by a touch latch. Michelle Turner, UDCP

This backyard Oasis has everything a garden lover would want. A natural water waterfall and creek, gas fire pit with seat walls, meandering paths through native and garden cultivar plantings, night lighting, rose garden, veggie gardens, lush lawn, and custom stonework throughout. Not to mention total serenity! Landscape Design by Barbara Hilty: www.hiltylandscapedesign.com photo: Terry Olsen

Design ideas for a large traditional full sun backyard pond.

This is a waterfall we created at a change in the grade elevation. We used natural sandstone boulders with pre-cast artificial rock panels to create the desired effect. It is a section of a rock lined creek-stream water feature, that we built, which is over 200' long. It is located underneath a grove of oaks that provides plenty of shade and partial sun for the ferns and other shade loving plants. The landscape was designed by the homeowners and is meticulously maintained.

The NJ based Landscape Architecture office carefully planned out where each individual tile would be installed. The result is a beautifully curving glass tile mosaic that looks great even close up.

Custom Surface Solutions (www.css-tile.com) - Owner Craig Thompson (512) 430-1215. This project shows the remodel of a small 1950's vintage home master bathroom. 8"" x 18" Calcutta gold marble tile was used on the shower walls and floor wall base and ceramic gray penny tile on the floor. Shower includes curbless pan / floor, dual shower boxes, frameless glass slider, trough duel fixture sink and chrome fixtures.

Complete backyard remodel, new pool and sap, with grotto, new balcony, waterfall, sheer decent, bbq, fireplace, and much more. The balcony has a water feature that spills in to the pool, along with a waterfall from the grotto, and sheer decent water features from the columns, lit up by color fiber optic lighting. the entire area is finished of with 2 outdoor T.V.'s one mounted under the balcony and one mounted under the counter top next to the spa, the T.V. is controlled via remote and is recessed in to the counter, and then rises out of the counter until it is above the counter surface, for viewing from anywhere within the garden.

A relatively new product from Ralph Lauren, this is Polished Patina in "Old Rock Crystal". It is a troweled finish that has a lovely pearlized effect and looks beautiful in any room.
