LA MIA TERRAZZA - My Terrace

             My Italian heritage is reflected throughout my home, especially in our patio and garden.

Welcome to our TERRAZZA.













    

   I wanted to create a space with outdoor elements reminiscent of my homeland (patria) - concrete walls, potted planters, and flowers like geraniums and ivy.






   



 

  It might not be the Amalfi Coast but a place full of  tasteful, colorful memories to come home to  and  welcome family and friends.

Express Your Personality in The Garden


Like our homes, our garden is a reflection of who we are. Inject your personality and enhance the beauty of your yard with plants and items you love. I enjoy birds, so I added several bird houses. I also love ivy, especially against a brick wall. The goal in choosing garden décor is to enhance the garden and not overpower it with accents.

First Impressions Last A Lifetime!

Make your front entrance look like a million dollars for just a few dollars.

When people walk up to your door they should be greeted with a seasonal floral arrangement that really stands out.  When choosing the right planters you need to think about the style and look you want to create.  The choices are many from whimsical to conservative.  Your choice should compliment the accents of the home.
