Bungalow Transformation

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:

• 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
