hace 9 añosHey! Thanks for the response! I'm in Vista! We currently have some irrigation installed... but im not even sure where to go with it. having a hard time picturing things. Do you have pictures of yours? Attached is a few pictures of my yard.
Front yard from the front door (the property fence is going to be extended another 30 feet away from the front door so we will have a very large front yard)

(3) comentariosHi Cristina, your table looks very beautiful however I discourage to have such furniture at home because of the mirrors. I work as a feng shui consultant and I know that the mirrors have some kind of power and one should be very carful placing them in the house. My personal opinion is to have a mirror in the place where the mirror can´t see you while you are resting or sleeping because in long term it can have negative influence on you. The mirror was created to look at it and it shouldn´t be used extensively also because of the reflections of the light. The human eye naturally is used to see the light coming from certain directions, if it comes from the direction which is not used to the light, especially artificial one, it may effect your vision or have negative influence on your mood. I'm talking about something very subtle which sometimes may be felt after some time. Another thing is that I always encourage people to don´t use repetitive patterns in the house just simple irregular forms and calm and worm colours which make the space more cozy and more natural. If you need more help with the rest of your house please let me know. I could make a 3d visualisation of your place to shaw the layout.

Le encantan las líneas blancas y limpias, una silla cómoda. Estamos renovando una casa antigua en Alcalá a retirarse a. Creo firmemente que la decoración afecta el estado de felicidad de uno. He vivido en más de 40 lugares. Dejé mi último lugar porque estaba demasiado oscuro y me entristeció. Echo de menos tener un jardín, pero este lugar tiene una terraza en la azotea. Our new home is an extension of myself, but also of my husband, so we have to find a style that we both feel comfortable in. I love all things Indian, having been there and written a book about it (Nineteen Ninety Six), plants and loads of light. He loves white, clean lines, a single comfy chair. We are renovating an old townhouse in Alcala to retire to. I firmly believe that decoration affects one's state of happiness. I have lived in over 40 places. I left my last place because it was too dark and made me sad. I miss having a garden, but this place has a roof terrace....Ver másPls help with floor plan design
(0) comentariosGm everybody, My wife and me are trying to design our new kitchen, and we are a bit concern about its location in the house. This is a DIY project, so we are looking for opinions. As you can see in the picture, we are creating the kitchen room at the left bottom side and keeping a garden at the left upper. Our first idea was to locate the kitchen close to the living door (upper in the picture) but we would like to mantain the garden. Thanks in advance for any kind of help!!

(0) comentariosOur team planned a complete renovation of the interior design, bringing the property up to the XXI Century.The central idea of the new design starts by opening the front views of the house to the garden, in order to flood the interior with natural light and, at the same time, to put the focus on the sea views. The living room gets leveled with the rest of the house, articulating itself around the new gas fireplace. An astonishing kitchen island with breakfast area is introduced near the new dinning room, complete with kitchen drawers with oak fronts to hide all the facilities. The different spaces can be separated by a series of sliding doors in solid wood that creates different effects when opened and closed....Ver más

hace 9 añosJoseph, it sounds to me like you want an entertaining back yard. Are edible plants important to you? Do you want everything green all year? You want some grass for the dogs. We are in a drought, so.... you have to water grass. You do not have to water a putting green, and it's part of that whole entertainment thing. An outdoor kitchen with a big bad BBQ Island and Kegerator can be on one side and won't take up much room. You don't have to water fake grass, and the dogs will not bother it at all. Ours is fake, but we have Semi Dwarf Citrus (always green and fruitful) planted around it. Roses too.
This photo doesn't show the citrus, but they are in the rough. We chose 4 blood oranges cuz we love blood orange margaritas. This is our front yard. We are on a huge hillside, and there is too much slope in the back for the putting green, but the outdoor kitchen is back there, IF you can call it that... LOL! El cheapo grill and a Treager Smoker. Huge decks for entertaining.
Consider a putting green. NO maintenance. Well, a blower to get the falling leaves off. Dried dog poop just fades away......

hace 9 añosYou do have a slope up to the fence. You could put in a fake waterfall, s'pool type thing. A few boulders with a waterfall going into a spa/swimming pool. or just a spa. Always nice to have a water feature. You didn't mention how much you are willing to spend.
Those are mostly fake rocks, although our hill is just studded with real granite boulders. Huge ones! This is our spa/pool. under the waterfall is a grotto with a real spa and a shelf for your drinks. The pool isn't big enough for a swim, but on a hot day, it's really refreshing just to play in it. This was here when we purchased this house. If we ever win the lottery, the pool deck will be turned into a real pool in which you can swim laps. BUT, this little spool is a pleasant place to be on a hot day, and gorgeous at night with the lights on.

hace 9 añosHi, Joseph! I am in SoCal, too. A bit north of you in northeast L.A. county.
Dogs rolling and tracking in stuff is always a big concern. They do tend to find the most interesting items to attach like velcro to their fur! I went with no lawn in the back. It is all landscaped with drought tolerant plants. There are winding paths of gravel throughout. The gravel is squared, not smooth pebbles. It is about an inch, on average, in size. This keeps dogs and people's shoe treads from tracking the gravel indoors. I absolutely never get a bit of it dragged in. It drains and holds no mud so the paths are always clean. There are stepping stones in key locations for a smoother walk. The dogs don't mind the pavers/gravel at all. They run around the maze of paths and have a blast. They get regular walks to the park and dog park where they can commune with grass!
With the severe drought in California I decided grass was a thing of the past. I use a fraction of the water now compared to when I had a lawn. I get the benefit of fragrant, low-water plants like lavender, sage, lantana, etc.
