Simplicity

Dare you?  This simple?
.
Yes.
.
Gravel to the walls, color theme, mix of stone-wood-iron, vine-on-house, evergreen cones in pots, round downspouts, beautiful views into the home, finials on the roof, custom shutters, 3-d lite over door.
.
If you like it, break down the reasons.  Beauty in one spot can be translated into yours.
.
House is the focal point.  House is the backdrop to the landscape.  Specifically, the front door.
.
It's brutal to be this simple.  But POTENT.
.
And low maintenance.
.
Garden & Be Well,  XO Tara
