Year End Streaming - Photos & Ideas

Our clients built their Manhattan dream house years ago, but a couple of decades in, the yellow and green palette seemed stale. We brightened the home with new paint and countertops, white oak flooring and updated carpet, custom fixtures and furniture, and new finishes, window treatments, and accessories. For enhanced functionality, we added built-in storage throughout, reupholstered existing furniture and the breakfast nook in performance fabric, and created a custom dining table that seats a dozen. To keep the dining room coastal and informal, we paired plush head chairs with rattan-backed side chairs and accented with sea-foam and sandy-hued floor and window coverings. The addition of a murphy bed, as well as shelving and file storage, made the office more suited to their growing family’s needs. In the second office, a standing desk, as well as a customized craft desk with built-ins for specific supplies, transformed the area into a completely personalized and effective space. New furniture and a ceiling-length fireplace facade of soft ivory and gray stone transformed the family room into a cozy and welcoming retreat. The overall effect is a home that feels spacious, beachy, and comfortable.

Backyard Renovation in Ann Arbor, MI

Poseidon Ponds & Landscaping

This was a backyard renovation. There was an existing plastic tub pond with many perennials around it. We took out everything, saved as many perennials as we could and installed a new rubber lined, natural ecosystem pond, stream and waterfall. We redesigned the area and created a couple different seating areas along with a pathway over the stream. Transplanted the perennials and added a few new plants to add interest all year long

Pond Upgrades

C.E. Pontz Sons

This pond renovation project included installation of the new Aquascape 1000 series signature skimmer and the Biofalls 2500 series biological filter to your existing pond. We also installed a 15′ stream on the left end of the pond and a small spillway waterfall near the right end of the pond. We installed 5 kichler underwater LED lights in the stream, pond and waterfall for night time enjoyment. The waterfall has its own adjustable speed pump so it can be run it independently of the stream system. All the plumbing was replaced with new 2″ plumbing lines. This project was installed in Lititz, PA.

Landscape Boulders and Decorative Stone

Bradford Associates, LLC

Stone can be used to add texture, color and year round interest to the landscape. In this project, landscape boulders and river rock are installed to look like a dry stream. Larger stone is placed at the outer edge and smaller toward the middle, just as in a nature river or stream. Landscape lighting was installed in key locations and designed to reflect off the boulders, creating a soft glow.
