Before

Homeowners Diane and John Noguchi are proud of their Japanese heritage. Unfortunately, their house doesn't reflect their culture or personality. The house is painted a drab color, has no landscaping and totally lacks charm. Designer Dan Phillips creates a look that combines Japanese heritage and American style.

After

Here’s how they accomplish it:

  • Replace driveway with stamped concrete
  • Repaint house in shades of brown
  • Cover stairs in wood for a Japanese feel
  • Add an Asian garden with Japanese accents
  • Remove molding around windows
  • New house numbers and light fixtures
