Carolyn Bopp and Bob Seuss live in a mid-modern house that has lost all its mid-century charm. Neglected landscape, chipping paint and a run-down front door has our designer, Michael Loftis, spinning with new ideas. Hopefully, the homeowners will like his vibe. Here's how they accomplish it:

  • new brighter paint colors
  • a new garage door will break up the surfaces with steel and frosted glass
  • at the front entry, a modern glass door to let in a lot of light
  • a new landscape plan will add more geometrical elements
  • a new walkway to breakup the landscape
  • build retaining walls
  • add a bench to the path
