The subtle transition from indoors to out continues with an all green and white palette in the planting beds immediately surrounding the house . The more garden-style plants include boxwood , Annabelle hydrangeas , Limelight hydrangeas , Cephalotaxus , roses and autumn clematis vines . This unified color scheme intentionally does not to distract from the stunning natural landscape . The white flowers sparkle at dusk in the fading light , conjuring a truly magical setting during cocktail hour on the rear terrace .
