Majestic Mediterranean |  |  |  | This newly remodeled hillside home shines with a golden orange stucco exterior, gleaming terra cotta tiles, and rich green French windows. The once-dreary Art Deco entrance was transformed into an inviting Mediterranean portal that welcomes with graceful curved railings and an elegant arched molding over the doorway. The connection between indoors and out is experienced via the view from the kitchen window. The richly textured fountain surrounded by pots and plants serves as a focal point on the upper terrace.
| Garden Party |  |  |  | A rustic red brick patio and a black wrought iron railing define this terrace overlooking the San Francisco Bay, where a bronze statue laden with red geraniums welcomes guests. Brightly striped umbrellas and colorful antique wicker chairs provide an informal gathering place before guests sit down at tables decorated with pink, orange and blue linens. Hand-blown French glassware and rustic Italian pottery sparkle among the platters of fruit and pitchers of colorful flowers. Whimsical wrought iron chairs topped with colorful outdoor fabrics provide comfortable seating at this garden party by the Bay.
| Wine Country Chic |  |  |  | This Mediterranean villa connects to the surrounding vineyards through an expansive outdoor kitchen and dining area. A bread oven, farm sink, refrigerator, and cooktop lie adjacent to the concrete and wrought iron table, which seats ten. Colorful cushions adorn the pink, gold, green and orange chairs. The large rectangular umbrella, which mimics the color of the house, shades the voluptuous banquette at the end of the table. An antique Italian lion's head spurts water while rustic French urns hold lavish ferns. Curved windows, tile roofs, stone walls and stucco archways add additional Mediterranean flavor to this beautiful home in Northern California's Valley of the Moon.
| Elegant Outdoor Living |  |  |  | An outdoor family room, dining room, and breakfast area are created on this wooded estate by combining metal, stone and wood elements with colorful fabrics and artful accessories. A chandelier, sculptural logholder and architectural elements bring the feeling of the indoors out. Luxurious, colorful cushions with fringe detailing no longer belong only inside. Sassy salmon-colored umbrellas provide shade for these sumptuous outdoor living areas, while keeping everyone in the pink underneath. Outdoor curtains frame the arbor and protect orange and pink lanterns, which glow in the dark. An antique winery door is hung as art beside the outdoor breakfast are
| Cottage Garden |  |  |  | An aged stucco retaining wall, painted wicker chairs with colorful cushions, and European antique accessories contribute to the romance of this garden living area. Wall fountains provide sparkle while a large iron candelabra hangs delicately over the table. A Victorian laundry sink provides an outdoor cleanup area, and an antique urn and chimney top function as planters. Angel corbels from an old English church support the arbor, and rich terra cotta pavers provide a floor for pots and guests. A cozy seating area adjacent to a fountain sits just beyond the French doors from the master bedroom.
