If you were one of the approximately 330 people who toured five houses and five gardens during the Phinney Home & Garden show on Sunday, you probably got lots of inspiration for your home or garden remodel.

The concrete floor is stained earthy orange in this basement, which has large picture windows looking out onto the gardens:
