Today's photos take us to Michelle Derviss' back yard in her garden in Novato, California. I visited her a couple of years ago, and was captivated by this relaxing yet exciting space. I asked her to tell us about it, and she says, "In regards to my outdoor hang out, I tried to create a subtropical, moody space that would make myself and my friends feel carefree and comfortable. l love to travel to far off exotic tropical lands, but my pocketbook doesn't often allow it, so I've created my own little tropical retreat that I can share with others for afternoon bbq's and evening Pina Coladas. If you can't afford to fly off to Bali then create Bali right in your own backyard." Thanks, Michelle! Now I want a Pina Colada... BTW, Michelle has an amazing blog--check it out!

The plants hanging on the wall are a staghorn fern mixed with a variety of succulents, mostly echiverias and sedums.
