AFTER PHOTO A shot of a house we extensively designed: outside, inside, and even the gardens. This midwest colonial home was set in a great neighborhood on a lot and a half, but lacked the curb appeal of the other homes in this historic district. AS you can see from the "before" shot of the same home, it has come a long way. The siding was replaced with custom cedar shakes, a pergola was added to give the house dimension and character, and the landscaping spans the lot and a half. This home has been featured on numerous home and garden tours and in several interior design and garden magazines. photo: KC Vansen
