Before the house was painted a bland color and lacked character.

After some paint, accessories and landscaping the house really pops.
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.

Landscape accents include a fountain and a small bridge.

Japanese sandals were stained and used as plant stands to add a nice touch for very little money.
Designer Dan Phillips creates a new look that combines Japanese heritage and American style.

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
