Mulch Madness!

Everybody pitches in to help. It was a great Saturday workday for planting flowers and working in gardens. Mountains of mulch were delivered to the property and able-bodied volunteers donned gloves, shovels and rakes and helped spread it around the many gardens of the 2009 Pasadena Showcase House. Be sure to visit our website to order your tickets http://www.pasadenashowcase.org/

Progress Everyday

Amazing transformations are happening daily. Heavy construction equipment is gone, painting is just about complete and designers are moving furniture in to prepare for the program book photo shoot. Here in the Master Bedroom Sitting Room, Saxony Street Design Group www.saxonystreet.com, is just about ready for the big reveal.

The picture above was taken by California Waterscapes as they begin work on their pond installation. The backyard is being transformed into a relaxing escape that will be filled with the soothing sound of flowing water. The pond will be the perfect place to unwind with a good book or spend time feeding the koi fish. Be sure and check back soon to see more pictures as the project progresses!

Progress at the Pool

As you can see, work is underway to update and revitalize the pool at the Showcase House. This area is being designed by Arcadia Pool Construction & Design www.arcadiapools.com The finished product will include new features all around as well as surrounding garden areas. Stay tuned for further pictures as work continues.
