MARK D. SIKES // WEST HOLLYWOOD GARDEN

We've had what I consider absolutely perfect weather (low 70s, sunshine, a cool breeze) all week and naturally I wish I could spend every waking moment outdoors. When I stumbled upon this garden space designed by Mark D. Sikes (who also pens a fabulous lifestyle blog) I knew it was too good not to share. Climbing ivy, French doors, and more topiaries than I can count? Dear Mark, you've created heaven on earth.

This is most definitely heaven on earth! Can you imagine having this in your backyard?

This is what I'd like my backyard to look like. Sadly, we have a metal fence missing a side, weeds, & dead herbs instead.

Can you imagine the parties or the days spent lounging out here? HEAVENLY.

I want to sit in one of those benches and read a book in the backyard! Gorgeous - thanks for sharing.

Gah, this is amazing. Love the terra cotta pots and mini bushes lining the stairs.

That terracing kills me! It really makes what would have been a much smaller space seem palatial! You know how many people would've thrown some ice plant on that hillside and called it a day? So glad the homeowners had the vision (or at least the sense to know Mark would).

I am so jealous! Living in West Texas with water restrictions the thought of an outdoor space like that would be manna from heaven!
