Gorgeous Gardens: Romantic, Tuscan-Style Garden
Though located in Laguna Beach, Calif., this Mediterranean home has all the grandeur and gorgeous landscaping of an Italian villa. Warm, terracotta-tiled steps create a path from the pool to the lower lawn, where guests can enjoy the sight of cypress trees, trimmed hedges, stone fountains and flowers in full bloom.
Outdoor Dining Room With Stone Fireplace
A natural dining room is created with a hedge, a row of planters, a large fireplace and garden beds. The rough stone dining table feels charmingly rustic in the middle of it all.
