      I second that, I'm jealous! A couple of plants and a table and chair or maybe even a chaise would be amazing out there! I promise, there are no more spiders out there than there are out front 😉😳, so just get a can of bug spray and spray the bejesus out of it and use it!

    You should plant rosemary bushes (just add some sand to your soil first) outside your picket fences. They hold up really well in more draughty climes, are useful for cooking and keeping out pests from the rest of the garden, plus they have the cutest little light purple flowers when they bloom!

    Oh my gosh, your garden areas are so gorgeous. I just love the front & side yard. I hope you can capitalize on your back patio. That's such a great space!!! Once you start going out there often & put flowers & plants the spiders will move on. You might have to take a broom to tear down cob webs every now & then to show them who's boss...lol. Also, that window with a view of the fence could be a great space for a wall fountain or hanging flower baskets. I just love everything! You both did a great job!! Frank is adorable!

    Very interesting. My first year of college was in neighboring Costa Mesa. I stayed with my realatives. Their home, like most others, was stucko. They had a fireplace because it does get cold there. In your hanging closet, I suggest removing the plastic wrapping. It is not recommended because fabrics need to breath. Thank your for this lovely tour. I do miss Newport beach. It was our destination for sun and sand. We walked the piers and swam at the Wedge on vacations there when we visited family in Costa Mesa. Quite a difference from my Midwest Illinois life.

My parents had an Arrowhead house. Our Summers were spent hopping from place to place with friends. We also spent a couple of weeks up in Tahoe most Summers. Such fun memories.

    What a cute cottage or beach home! You and your sister really decorated it cute. Your room is a cutie, I also have ducks , in my yard but not in my room but cute idea. I would buy a bug spray for your patio, You could buy a really cute comfortable chair and a small table when you want privacy.

    Adorable cottage! You and your sister have done a fabulous job making this cottage a beautiful home. And Frank makes me want a dog ie again. I do have my concerns for you to living alone. Even in great neighborhoods things happen. Be safe!

    You should definitely clean up your bedroom patio and put some plants, may be some Ivy etc and may be a sitting area, having that outdoor extension of your room is actually a great thing even just for the view and even if you wouldn't step outside but having that door open with a view to greenery would be so nice and would make the feel of your room much bigger and beautiful.
