Our Priorities - pre-meeting notes to designer

A few words to describe our style and what we want would be:
Sleek, Chic, Unique, Hip, Romantic, Sophisticated
We would love a space for living/entertaining outside.
Our priorities are as follows:
porch/pergola/columns (screened area - to far right)
walkway/retaining walls/stairs
driveway
demo - tear out current bushes and walkway - azaleas in back?
landscaping/sod/new soil
lighting (yard, porch, lamppost - love gas w/flickering flame)
sprinkler system
decorative potted plants
house numbers (maybe stamped in driveway)
new outdoor furniture, candles, lights, fan, bar,fabric panels, etc.
trash can and recycling bin hiding place - cabana or1/2 garage w/door
tree and stump removal (nice to save the big one but may not be possible)
paint
brick wall to the left of the driveway
dentil moulding accents accents under the windows (mini-pergolas)
new double-door
gas fire pit and/or water feature
roofing plantation shutters for top front windows (to match bottom)

That's a lot, I realize, so we will need your help deciding what makes the most sense. I have many pictures to help you get an idea of what we like. We are really excited about working with you. Loved your episode on Friday night. That house in McLean really turned out beautiful. Have a fun time in NY. See you on Saturday at 10.
Regards,
Paula
