Attention to detail in classic Bird Rock home.
Krista helped Shannon, a talented La Jolla decorator, tie together many design elements and three different patio levels in the renovation of this classically-styled garden. She expanded the pool deck, added a fire pit, and even created a stylish solution for disguising Shannon’s beloved above-ground spa. Krista’s expertise in simplifying and unifying the design elements and adding that attention to detail allowed Shannon to achieve her goals.
AFTER: The newly expanded patio with fire pit can accommodate many more guests.
AFTER: Brick, limestone, quartzite, and tile combine to unite all the materials in the space. The straight black rail adds a modern touch.
AFTER: Opening the staircase and connecting the patio levels with the cool colored stone give unity and ease your transition to the pool level. Cool details reflect in the cool water.
DURING: Krista helped her client choose materials and other elements, showing how to combine them to achieve their goals.
AFTER: The classic garden is now lush green backdrop for all of Shannon’s cute garden elements.
BEFORE: The pool deck was cramped and paved with mismatched bricks. The landscape was tired and dated and plastic spa stood out.
BEFORE: An awkward transition of three patio levels and a narrow staircase make entry into the back yard difficult and uninviting.
AFTER: Sprucing up the garden shed with shutters and paint, the walkway to the alley with lighting, and a new gate add beauty and detail to a small garden.
