Designer Maria Bell transforms a traditional ranch-style home into a Mediterranean paradise. To do this, she first paints the entire exterior of the house, replaces the old front lawn with a new stone pathway, colorful shrubs and unique boulders and updates the old weathered fence. Bell takes this further by turning a bare courtyard into a warm and inviting Mediterranean getaway, using authentic Italian furnishings and plantings such as iron tables, brown wicker chairs and a beautiful outdoor lion's head fountain. She also helps homeowner Jamie Cuadra change her very traditional, average-looking home into a Mediterranean-style villa.
