My favorite part of a well designed kitchen is the opening onto a beautiful outdoor area that I believe should reflect the interaction between humans and nature. • Taking this course together while living on Cape Cod, my husband and I had the opportunity to learn the plant life that grows naturally on the land. As I continue to learn more about home spaces, I am encouraged by that beauty and synergy in the living space experience. Our recent move to the Carolina Coast has opened a whole new world of the native North Carolina landscape. Show less
