A Sunken Dining Room
Join host Ken Bastida, Jeanne Castro and landscape designer Dan Berger as they create a cozy sunken dining room with a beautiful mosaic table perfect for dining under the sun or stars. Colorful plantings add intimacy and ambiance. They discuss design principles for the dining area and use Arizona flagstone to create a couple of steps leading up to the seating area. They build a pit to place the table in the outside dining area. Berger uses large pieces of flagstone for the seating area. He adds colorful plants to brighten the shady spot; vines and grasses provide intimacy. Plants include lavender, starflower, society garlic, flowering maple and flower carpet rose. Berger discusses using durable, exterior-grade plywood for the table; he installs the tile mosaic on top of the table and fastens it to a concrete column. Castro uses old plates for the mosaic tabletop.
