Wendy Glaister Interiors, Outdoor Oasis features a spectacular design with a four seasons design concept and multiple areas for outdoor entertaining. The exquisite outdoor design leaned heavily on Valley Fire Place, a local retailer for their recommendations and expertise in creating the ultimate outdoor chef’s kitchen package. With a kitchen design that features Blaze outdoor appliances and grills, Plumbing and fixtures by Brizo, and Nature Kast Custom Outdoor Cabinets in a warm neutral to coordinate with massive double kitchen islands. Double 12 foot kitchen islands feature stunning waterfall edge details in Taj Mahal Quartzite honed finish by Stone Company MSI. Completing the warm neutral color story included expanding the outdoor patio by surrounding and installing Limestone 24” x 48” Pavers also by MSI.

To elevate the client’s hosting of family and friends a custom outdoor dining table with seating for 12 was created by metal craftsman Nick Heckendorf, Metal Craft. This custom table delivers a seamless design statement in matching honed Taj Mahal Quartzite and with a beautiful gas fire feature.

Through collaboration with Lighting Designer, Carrie Arnold, Phillips Lighting & Home, Wendy was able to create the perfect outdoor space with lighting for day and evening illumination. The lighting design included LED tape lighting Alloy LED 120v “PowerLine 400” (in Aluminum channel w/lens) for the double kitchen islands. For the living area we installed a large Ceiling Fan: Fanimation “Triaire” under our pergola, to help with comparing the excessive California summer heat and insect control. On the pergola walls we installed FP “Shadow Box” sconces by Hubbardton Forge, WAC DweLED Block & Slant sconces and added Kuzco Lighting “Traverse”Path lights throughout the outdoor space.

Outdoor Furniture and Upholstery, was custom designed with Manufacturer Lee Industries purchased through Slater’s Home Furnishings. For everyday engagement this Outdoor Oasis’ design includes several fire features and seating in three different locations. For added client enjoyment several large Samsung Smart TVs were installed so the client could watch from every angle. The existing pool deck and surrounding landscape was updated, alongside the installation of sports courts including a new pickleball court, a putting green, and a bocce ball court that were positioned around the 1.08 acre garden space and to complete the ultimate outdoor oasis design.
