apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

How did you create it?
We bought this land from a farmer's family who were growing beans before. We built our house first and then started to work on the garden. Because of our careers ( I'm a painter and my husband is a decorator) we prefer to design and work by ourselves. We've been here 15 years and still love it.

Recommended store, site, product or resource?
Well, my husband built all the garden stairs and wooden deck by himself, and I cultivated all the flowers and plants. Books were my biggest reference. After 15 years working in the garden, I recently published a book of my watercolor paintings of the garden. Now I'm preparing a garden journal to share my experiences with other readers.
