nice coloring on the pool entry and pool ( without the rocks at entry edge to step over getting in and out)
re the structure area - I don;t know if there's something to take from this or not for against the wall area (not attached to our house!) with the back slats angled down more like blinds for more privacy and holes in top for where palms could continue to grow thru (?)
sharing - like this as one idea for the structure area (without the doors etc) could make the pillars on the front (view side) thinner almost as a smaller support stone post to not hide the view as much when sitting inside it. (from 25919 dark creek rd calabasas listing)
gorgeous lines - maybe (?) some way to use as the style for pool landing steps and repeated in dark grey tile by outdoor living room (?)
one of my ideas for one of the mandalas in yard
interesting idea of doing something with an African, Morocco style tile in cement on steps down hillside and on landing - could tie in to smaller hints of it in garden patios - maybe from one of the mandalas
** This idea of layered real rocks might be a good possibility for where the pool slide is now. The structure is there on the sides, would just need to build in ledges and stones in curve of slide.**
nice up/down & color plantings in pot
like the pergola and the feeling that the trees/hedges give for privacy
just another look I like of the arch and walls of stone to keep on file
IF needed - an idea for entry bar/handle to pool and/or spa (from indoor pool Altagracia)
color for when we redo our pool like it is now
like the idea of a firebowl with the water spilling over and general feel of this
more lush planting with good roofed pergola
* putting in here for side yard structure further down (adapted - please ask)- would see from bathroom patio
magical threshold idea between the pool equipment and bathroom shower for visual from both front and back of side yard and from shower
Maybe something like this IF we don't do the more Balinese one in saved photo - OR if it should match more of the Big Sur bell holder style by desert furniture. -threshold idea between the pool equipment and bathroom shower for visual from both front and back of side yard and from shower
like the far gate shape IF we don't do the other types in saved photos and like the low undergrowth areas too for rose garden area maybe near the gate pool equipment area
like lush plantings looking out on side yard in shaded areas and ( in front)
**possible even for outside tile work including desert furniture area and outside by master bath - reminder to me of diagonal floors and using diagonal - love everything here - Norm Applebaum Paso Robles Fox Ranch
** reminder to put some tile work around exterior like Charles liked in Carmel - could go around arched window on bed wall and on shower exterior and exterior window over sinks. Tie it in LATER with arch stucco (with gate for Sam's yard) by Carolina Cherry tree - put surprise small hints of it around house exterior
bamboo fence idea to cover a/c
** like for possible use a version of arched fountain area set higher behind the 'desert' outdoor furniture off wall in front of bougenvillea as focal point and ties in with master arched window and front door area arch. IF we put one as described above, maybe another small arch bump up on the top of the wall as background and privacy behind the disk by pool slide stairs
maybe flagstone with fake grass flooring idea in some part of patio area with boulders standing stones and plantings for 'meditation' area by gate to front yard
pool equipment walls covered in green
a fav - maybe in the shaded areas in the front with elephant ears - like a destination/ art piece in the garden
like the stonework around planter pedestals better than all stucco for side yard - maybe even like our entry stone - the grey one used now instead of Bouquet Canyon OR the gold stone veneer that we use on the house from Malibu stone***
like stacked stone a lot for terracing along main wall for higher trees or for front later
like the style of pots very much
love the small tucked in patio
like aspects of the cabana for where we need most privacy against wall
love most everything - but really like the basalt stones placed more naturally like here rather than in standard close to one another (fountain like)
love the dark flagstone with the green - maybe around deck areas or by back gate - from Zak Architecture Haulalai 72-170 Ke Alaula st
(for Charles reference as to one tone materials inside and on patio deck from 2200 Summitridge BH house for sale)
when open up photo there is a pool house (from pac palisades) one idea for side yard outdoor cabana in main area to hide 2 story next door
might be able to use something like the swirls near the pool slide stairs to break up the tile (if solid look )with the disk in front and 2 side chairs
similar to another saved shot for front yard by Nicole house - would like to see about working something like this circle ( moon gate) idea somewhere in garden if possible (not the frog tho :))
like lanterns and stands
love stonework angles and gate and large pots.
one idea if needed of including a line or clumps of clivia for color
like the older tree shapes over the plantings for dappled sunlight
if we have tree trunks or branches that I need to paint later - reminder to me to possibly put Fiji wrap idea on palms by pool
if we end up using posts that we have in a small area - I like the idea of making them into colored pencils
for La Quinta around fountains
