Maybe visit 3 architects, send them your home in advance and ask them to pull from their wish portfolio.some ideas for you. time researching your sty,es and for not a lot (Note you will have to spend money so make a budget) you can come up with some great ideas. It is not beach Sam's, so everything grows Just think no lawn mower from the neighbor at 9 am on Saturday. And, tow it percolated the water into the ground in big rain storms so the grass which collects puddles did not also and does not collect mosquitos. It did two things, one no chemicals went into the earth and the sewer and the marsh where the shrimp grow. They had sand and they would sweep the sand. Why Well no irrigation, no chemicals, no plug grass no lawn mowers the do big areas and blowers. In the 1800's the south did not have grass only the wealthy.

My sand is perfect with natural plants to the area. I think everyone should get rid of grass. It dies not all have to be li,e the hedges in a straight line and cut perfect. My point is you can have fun and miss it up. I love the Bronson Pinchot show and his style he is magnificent to me. I like the new style old butcher block on maybe the island or by the stove and marble or granite on another surface. Just the other day I saw glass counter tops from recycled beer bottles, recycled glass, that I lost and must find again, Oyster shells amd more all for kitchen countertops.

The point is that with all the eco friendly materials, incredible stones, natural and porcelain or combo. I won't go on there is much more to the design of the home that is amazing. I have a fireplace that is in the center of a 20 foot x 40 foot room that let's you go round from living to library to dining back to living all with 5 12 foot french doors to a deck that seats 60. A very unique one of a kind that I have restored and it is stunning and honorable to be the caretaker of this amazing home. my outstanding home is custom built 1913 with 14 foot ceilings throughout all tray and open plan. These eras brought out some wonderful contemporary architecture as in the past 1800 and early 1900. I am not sure what happened in the 60 and 70, but we are making a come back with new ideas again. Many of the contemporary works of art in architecture were from the 20, 30, 40 and 50. the first sofa that was longer and had a circular round end ottomans in the middle of the living room dry stack fireplace Frank Lloyd Wright Style and he was the first organic style architect there will be many rebuttals, but he was still designing 1955 and his interiors were minimalist and natural exteriors that melted into nature- eames, though from an earlier period made a come back. good things, stand alone fireplaces in red. Mistake hand in cast good things not google.
