California Modern Gardens

It's about this time of year that I start daydreaming about creating a beautiful outdoor living space for my family. In my dreams, it comes with a table and chairs for outdoor dinner parties, places to lounge for leisurely summer reading, and a charming playhouse or swing set for Ingrid and Lars to play on. Maybe there's an outdoor shower or a greenhouse or a pool... and it's all done in an unfussy yet magical way that fits right in with this California Modern style...
