2. Cooking in Style
A family in suburban Chicago with Brazilian roots hired Hursthouse Landscape Architects and Contractors, a firm they found on Houzz, to bring South American flavor to their underutilized backyard. A gaucho, or Argentine-style, grill was a top priority, and the firm designed an expansive cooking and dining pavilion around the wood-fired, crank-operated grill. The covered area also includes a gas grill, cabinets, a sink, firewood storage, a trash receptacle and a dining area. The counters are honed bluestone, and the base is Wisconsin limestone. The 500-square-foot natural cleft bluestone patio offers plenty of room for outdoor entertaining, with a fire pit lounge providing another gathering destination. The team was thoughtful in designing the space to nod to the home’s traditional architecture.

3. Better, Not Bigger
After years of designing kitchens for clients, architect Angie Lipski of MMW Architects redesigned her own 184-square-foot Missoula, Montana, kitchen — starting with saving inspirational images to ideabooks on Houzz. Among her priorities were maximizing storage space, adding an island, upgrading a small cafe corner, installing a custom metal hood focal point and carving out a display area for her husband’s collection of Bavarian beer steins, visible in the illuminated cabinet on the right of this photo. What you can’t see here — but will see if you click the link below to the original story — are all of the smart, hidden pullouts, which include a high-density pantry and corner cabinet solutions.

After: Prevost made over the home’s exterior, adding a pergola and updating the windows and doors, decking, stucco, paint, railings, fencing, flatwork and garage door. The home’s main color went from a solid mauvy peach to a two-tone palette of dark green-gray up top and a lighter color below.
The homeowners already had been refreshing the hillside in front for about eight years, clearing out overgrown juniper and adding succulent transplants from friends and neighbors. Two new drought-tolerant palo verde trees (Parkinsonia sp.) will mature to provide focal points, and a landscaper added some plants too.
Dark exterior paint: Thunder Gray, Sherwin-Williams

Two teenage boys in Texas got this bathroom makeover, the most popular one on Houzz this year, courtesy of their designer mom, Jennifer Kizzee. Before, the space had an unappealing shower-tub combo and issues with the window, ventilation and water pressure. Now it has an attractively moody look featuring bold black wall tile, and it offers much better functionality.
Kizzee treated the boys like regular clients, using Houzz Pro business software to manage the project and visualize ideas, such as bringing in that dramatic dark tile to help a weathered-wood vanity stand out. The vanity is floating to create a more spacious feel in the 45-square-foot room. A low-curb shower with a steam feature replaced the old shower-tub, and its floor-to-ceiling glass front has metal striping that creates modern-looking grids. For a bit of natural warmth, slatted wood-look tile clads two of the shower walls. Two tube pendant lights add both illumination and an artistic finishing touch.
