Family room - coastal family room idea in Los Angeles with gray walls, a standard fireplace, a brick fireplace and a wall-mounted tv

Originally this side patio was simply a barren cement patch that was cold and uninviting (see the BEFORE picture). It has a basic stone and concrete patio floor, with concrete brick walls. There was some natural bamboo behind the wall, but otherwise no plants. The house sits down in to the property, and to get to the front door you have to descend a steep set of stairs. This patio area is one of the first things people see as they descend the stairs to the front door, so we wanted to make it as inviting and cozy as possible. Plus, with all the natural tree coverage, it's a perfect place during hot days to curl up with a book or glass of wine under the shade. Not wanting to spend money on a massive renovation, the goal was to create a cozy niche for both entertaining guests and personal relaxation, reminiscent of an India-meets-Bali exotic retreat. We created something that was organic and natural looking, in harmony with the relaxed environment of Laguna Beach. To keep it budget friendly - and better for the environment - we also opted for recycled and pre-owned items we found on Craiglist and eBay. I chose to first mask the barren concrete walls with an carved wood screen from India, to add depth and interest. I placed two large daybeds with heavily padded cushions in an “L” shape to entice people to curl up and sink in. Rather than opting for a regular square patio table, I found a one-of-a-kind custom oak tree slab table (a fantastic Craiglist find!) that added a beautiful organic feel. The Moroccan lamp I brought back from one of my trips to Marrakech, and it added the perfect personal touch, in addition to personal sacred objects such as an antique Kwan Yin statue (great eBay find), crystals, and shells found at the beach. Finally, various plants were added — including both a satsuma orange tree and grapefruit tree that add lovely bursts of color when in season. And makes for a great quick snack when lounging about!

Custom Brantley Sectional Sofa by England Furniture It's what's on the inside that counts. That's our motto here at England. This is why we build all of our furniture here in the U.S.A. out of quality materials. And we think quality and design go hand in hand. We offer more than 450 fabrics for you to select from, so you can design the piece of furniture that is perfect for your home. And you'll have your custom furniture delivered in 42 days or less! This casual styled sectional sofa will dress your home with an elegant flair that is also relaxed with a look that speaks to comfort. The soft seat cushions will provide you with a relaxed place to sit with family and friends while the design offers a clean and tailored design. The cushions will seat 5-6 people with a cuddler on the end that is ideal for movie watching at the end of the day. This sectional is complete with exposed wood feet and rounded arms. The manufacturer of this item is so proud of its cushions that it backs them with a 10 year manufacturer warranty. In addition to being fully reversible, which helps extend fabric life, this item's loose cushions also include built-in air vents to ease the process of escaping air when a cushion is sat upon, ultimately extending the life of the foam. This collection was crafted on the value - It's what's inside that counts. Backed by a manufacturer lifetime frame warranty, this item is created from engineered hard wood, a manufactured wood made from multi-layer plywood that provides strength at an outstanding value. The engineered hard wood is then precision cut for interlocking accuracy and reinforced at points that receive the most wear. Each seat cushion on this item comes with a specially engineered, self-healing zipper. On occasion, the daily stress that is placed on furniture can cause a cushion's zipper to pop, allowing the foam to compress incorrectly when the cushion is sat upon. This collection's self-healing zippers prevent that from happening. If for some reason a cushion's zipper should pop, merely un-zip and re-zip the piece, and watch as the zipper fixes itself. Since 1964, this item's manufacturer has been crafting American made upholstered furniture in the foothills of East Tennessee. When other furniture suppliers decided to take their manufacturing oversees, this group's manufacturer remained in the US, offering American made furniture with a wide selection of American made fabric options.
