we’re undergoing a bit of an overhaul to our apartment right now so i’m really into seeing what other people do with a total makeover. designer stephanie hancock sent over these fun shots of her new home and i’m loving all the bright green. it’s such a fresh update to the raw space. thanks to stephanie for sharing!
(and if you like the stuffed creature’s on the couch, they’re stephanie’s!)

[stephanie's adorable deck "yard". i love the faux grass- it really makes for a yard feel in the city. well, as close as you can get in the city]

I love all of the bright greens throughout the house, ties everything together nicely… even out into the “yard”
oooooh! I love what she did with the back deck. Such a great idea… and the chairs are fantastic!
Saw this already on Apartment Therapy. :-(.
man, the husband never gets credit! all my labour and decorating input… sheesh!
hahaha
i did help though.
Wow, that is a strong, vivid green… Yikes, a bit too for me, but I absolutely love the way it ties in with the whites and greys and contrasts with the texture of the wall. It’s great to see people make bold, individual choices in their homes!
I love the fake grass…it looks so much better than regular astroturf. Where did she get it? I want some for our balcony!
the back yard is awesome. and so cozy. looks beautiful.
amazing what a little pop of fun color will do :-)
I want to buy the grass too. Tell me where!!
wow. what an amazing transformation. i love the lime green. adds so much brightness and cheer. the patio looks perfect for that hot summer’s day!~
the grass looks great and I just purchased myself one of her super-cute monsters! I’m a sucker for a cuddly toy (especially one made out of recycled scrap fabric etc ;] )
love the nail clipper art. where is it from?!
Still eager to know where the fake grass is from? Is it from synlawn?

I’ll add in my request for more information on the “lawn” . . . please!
The ‘lawn’ is a 5′x15′ piece of turf from Synlawn. The rep I dealt with in Vancouver was Owen, and he was very nice!
And the painting is a piece my Mom did in college. She is thinking about doing a new series of similar works now that everyone loves this one so much. You can e-mail me (via my website) if you are interested!
I LOVE the fake grass. If I were in the city I’d do the same thing. Very pretty.
by the way – I LOVE this blog.
