see so good: jude’s art in the yard

Scottsdale, AZ - 1970’s palm springs quintessential desert neighborhood

This house tour is all about the backyard - A delightful play of color and art, mixed with dash of quirkiness. It’s really quite amazing what was once a plain unremarkable space is now a low maintenance oasis that boasts a creative blend of zen, desert, cast-awayish wit and chic styling.

Before you set foot into the backyard space you encounter a quaint right of passage, a squeaky arcadia sliding glass door speckled with plastic flowers that bedazzle a view of the cozy covered nook.  Once outdoors, visitors discover indoor flourishes are not for the faint of art. I mean who hangs one-of-a-kind commissioned paintings outside, Jude does. As an art consultant, she assuredly recites, why not?

But it’s just not art on the walls that deliver a feast for the senses, bauble-like birdhouses, concrete planes, artificial turf, water and stone features, and even a blue guitar are all packed into this modest space. The various seating groups and materials work well separately as they do as a whole, doubling not only as a peaceful sanctuary but also as a rockin party yard!
