Change of Focus


BEFORE: This little house with not-so-interesting architecture needed an update.  
 To focus on the garden, we needed to make the building blend into the landscape.
 In addition, the unattractively proportioned windows needed to be minimized.
AFTER: With new colors that harmonize with the landscape, the house now provides a wonderful backdrop for the garden.
 The window mullions were painted a darker color which makes them disappear!
 And, the apple green door provides a cheery entrance to a gardener's home.

Tie it together


To define the dining area in this open plan, a contrast wall in rich purple was painted to mirror a chair of the same color opposite in the living room.
