First Impressions: Entry 2

After:  resurfaced driveway and entry, with Mediterranean planting by SVA Home and Garden

Garden before

The entry to this Malibu home was looking tired.  Repaving the driveway with pervious paving stones is a dramatic improvement that has the added advantage of allowing the rainwater to percolate into the soil, thus preserving rainwater and avoiding runoff issues.  Limestone pavers begin at the porch and carry throughout the interior.  New plantings by SVA Home and Garden complete the look, along with Gracie, the dog.

Before: old blacktop

This half wall closed in the entry and made the living/dining seem smaller.   Removing it made the new great room  spacious, welcoming and flexible.   Chair and pillow fabrics are from JAB;  sofa's is from Pindler & Pindler.
