Catalina Dreaming

Classic California Outdoor Living at Its Finest

About the Project

This project was inspired by the wonderful craftsmanship executed with brick and early California tile that you still find today on Catalina Island.

Boston Brick & Stone did a wonderful job to capture that feeling, bringing in authentic old tile and creating a star-shaped brick fire pit, which I conceived as part of the extended patio for dining and entertaining.

The nearby spa serves as a retreat for the parents and the kids, with a Mediterranean-hued tiled wall and Moroccan brass spouts.

(NOTE: All work was performed by licensed landscape contractors.)


Laura has effortlessly woven together traditional elements, her own whimsy, and our eclectic tastes into a seamless whole. The garden is easy to maintain and magical. I would highly recommend this experience of working with Laura. We never want to leave home!
