Challenge: Now guests can belly up to the bar or grab a seat if they're so inclined, thanks to this festive set. Two leaves pull up for added surface area; the back of the bar is equipped with a wineglass holder, a bottle caddy, and shelves. The curved front of the unit echoes the rounded edge of the stone patio. Along the side of the house, below, Wolfe introduced a variety of plantings, retaining some pachysandra while adding rough-cut stones to trim the garden bed. Plantings shown include (from left): lilac, Houttuynia cordata (chameleon plant), grape hyacinth, pansies, 'Otto Luyken' cherry laurel, creeping strawberry, and skip laurel.
