Before

Homeowner Phyllis Mears has lived in her bungalow style home for 25 years and is ready to make some changes to beautify it. Designer Kimberly Rosenberg helps to bring color to the home with warm, earthy tones and creates a well-manicured garden with low-maintenance features. Here's how they accomplish it:

After

paint the house a warm tan-pumpkin tone with dark blue trim color

tear out the concrete path and install new stepping stones

remove the old vine-covered arbor and replace with a black iron one that frames the side garden

remove the wood fence to open up the house and yard

driveway gets resurfaced and stained

tear out old lawn and put in new sod and a colorful garden terraced with railroad ties

new copper planters in the garden that’ve been given an aged patina finish

relocate the fountain to the side garden area

new ceramic pots, seating area, and copper house numbers
