This has been a very snowy Maine Winter. In February we measured 49 inches of snow. A Winter Wonderland indeed! The Pergola in the Orchard Garden added drama and Structure to the Winter Garden Views. The Blue is the signature color of this property and is used as an accent throughout. In the Spring we will be planting Hops Vines on the Pergola. They are rapid growers and the Lime Green color of the leaves and cone shaped flowers will pop against the blue!

Home & Garden Designer KDB
kdb Designer/Artist
KDB is passionate about Home and Garden Design, she started her firm in 1987, in Los Angeles, California. In 2001 she moved to Maine and has been exploring the different lifestyle that the Four Seasons can bring to our dwellings ever since. Over time she has adapted a philosophy of timeless and thematic design.
kdb is fastidious about what works for the architecture, climate and style, and weaves in the exact wants and needs of her clients. Integrating the home and garden, blending the inside and the outside into one cohesive package is the standard kdb formula. She works hard at helping her clients to understand the land in which they are inhabiting and the relationship between the rooms of a home and the gardens that surround them. kdb is inspired by historic European design, William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th century as well as Modern & Contemporary and Eco-friendly styles. She embraces the landscape philosophy of native plantings, mysterious, romantic, and organic gardens. She believes that everyone should live with the objects that not only are functional but also beautiful.
kdb has been photographing and writing about homes, gardens, lifestyle and nature since 1987. To see her portfolio log onto her Home and Garden Design website @ www.kdbstudioalchemy.com

This is a fun article about my farm in Malibu. Quirky, Fun and Arty!
It is important to understand the natural ambient light and the weight of the skyscrapers that create the amazing views. The juxtaposition of sweeping views and skyscrapers is not only dramatic and stunning they are an integral part of your living space. The light in a space with high ceilings and an ever-changing cloud-scape is magical. Click on loft photo to explore "Loft Living".

Thanks for visiting my Design Blog. For many years I have been thinking of writing a Design/Lifestyle book. I am finally doing it a page at a time, with this blog. I now have over 100 articles! Oh yes, one step at a time creates a body of work. If you have suggestions for topics that you think should be covered, drop me an email or give me a call. I would enjoy hearing from you. "Live with beauty, value all things living, be kind to others, and keep in touch with those you cherish." KDB 207.653.9334 k@kdbcurator.com
