Rainbow over Culver City


Today is Friday Sept. 30-almost a new month! What a fitting time to have a rainbow appear in front of Braswell, the shop.


The last time we had a yummy rainbow with rain was in Dec. 2010 here


Thought I would give you this peak at a CA rainbow. It was so vivid - when we first saw it - then slowly


began to fade away..going, going


Almost gone...

Dear readers, have a lovely weekend!


Love,


Peggy

PBID in Ventura Magazine

Thank you to Ventura Blvd magazine for their lovely article about me and my beloved clients/friends Mike and Hazzan Judy Greenfeld.


Cover of the Magazine
Below you can see the article and the images they used of the home.


 Mike and Judy - what an adorable image!
The guest house(Judy's office) is behind them in this picture, the guest house was there when the Greenfeld's bought the home.


One of the water features and the back of this sweet, white wooden house!
The home has amazing trees surrounding it on all sides, you can see one of the trees poking through the back deck.


This is looking out to a rose covered gazebo from the side porch with its swings, rocking chairs & blue ceiling - very southern! Yeah!


Above are views of the beautiful gardens surrounding the home & the kitchen. We designed & enlarged the kitchen when we remodeled the house 9 years ago.
Has it already been 9 Years?


The above pictures are on the porch off the dining room & the new family room off the kitchen. We enclosed a screened porch to make this family room.

All images inside the home were taken by
David Phelps, photographer (extraordinaire)
Click here for his website.


Original Pocket doors in the living room open into the entry hall, you can 
peak at the dining room through another set of original pocket doors.

I adored working with Judy & Mike on this project (they have become friends as well as clients)

 This home has quite a history!

Looks like an East Coast, Ralph Lauren home on "flat land" in the San Fernando Valley of LA.  And yes, I am from the south - so a large White Wooden home with Dark Green Shutters was right up my alley.

You can see more photos of this home on my website here


Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!
Love,


Peggy
