Statement Color

The innovative color palette for this Craftsman home combines navy blue, white and pink for a look that feels both masculine and feminine at the same time. “The whole idea was to pack the exterior with colors that people would really stop and look at and also think about,” says designer Brian Patrick Flynn.

Improved Curb Appeal

New sod and strategic plantings help transform the front yard and curb appeal of this Craftsman. “The house really didn’t have any landscaping before, it was very sparse and what was there was not native,” says project manager Scott Branscom.
