Architectural Happenings- Garden, Part 2

This is part 2 of the garden blog of a client/friend's home in Southern California.

 This use to be a full size tennis court and now it's party central!

I am big on eye falls and here they abound.

 Tents, umbrellas, fabulous peeling murals, bocce ball court and casitas -
take a look with me.

We bought this chandelier in San Francisco on a shopping trip. 
We spray painted it orange, then filled it with Christmas tree lights.

This is the fixture lighted for a party at  night time.

The chandelier we used is called the "Neo Baroque Chandelier" from Abigail Ahern. 
Pictured above is from her website.

They come in two colors and they have two different sizes.

 I used the large white one.

This is what it looked like before lights & spray paint.

This is looking towards the entrance to the tennis court, an oblique on the court.

This oblique moves around the garden - Here it is at the entrance of the house before a party.

One of the tents on the court!

An interesting eye fall - what your eye sees when you enter a home.

My client built these casitas (which means a small house) to use as storage on the tennis court. She painted and put tile roofs on them. Cool idea.

Isn't that fountain beautiful?

 A view of the casitas.

Bocce ball court

Chairs at the ready surrounding the bocce ball court.

We used rugs to shade a viewing portion of the bocce ball court.

These are the poles that hold up the rugs for shade.

I adore this whole outdoor area.

What great use of a unused tennis court.

What do you think of my client's home?

Dear readers, let me know.

Have a lovely weekend!


Love,

Peggy
