On Houzz: Stone Steps in Waiting

Recently on Houzz here, below.
.
Modern renovation to vintage home.
.
Seriously good modern.
.
Made me laugh.
.
Why?
.
Happens all the time with new architectural construction.
.
Tunnel vision harking back to the old map makers, "Beyond this point there be dragons."


With long term clients, they learn to finish 'certain' landscape items sooner rather than later.
.
How do I know?
.
They tell my general contractor, "Don't tell Tara, we will not do XYZ yet but please put in those 3 stone steps so she won't be so upset."
.
This beautiful old home with new renovation, above, went international with its 3 gorgeous stones 'not complete'.  In Tara Talk those stones are jewelry-for-the-landscape.  Setting is complete, stones are bought, please let the jeweler do their work.
.
Best part of this home/garden?  Nothing has to be 'undone'.

Hi Tara, So true, and it is hard to complete it all at once. Maybe there is some mental block about finishing. xo, N.G.
