Outdoor Oasis: Modern Deck With Mountain Views
Clean lines and minimal decor allow the mountains to be the focus of this modern deck near Ventura, Calif. The owners have plenty of ways to enjoy the view, too; they can swim alongside the dramatic backdrop or head to the sitting area and catch the sunset. The space comes with a fire pit, so everyone can stay nice and cozy.
