The outdoor spaces After Whitney and Adam moved in, they spruced up the once-barren back patio and yard and made two distinct spaces to lounge and entertain, essentially doubling their square footage. (The couple does live in sunny Southern California, after all.) And since the house is right in Venice, they’ve also got the canals, where StanLee loves to watch the ducks swim, and the nearby beach practically in their “backyard.” “This is a place where we can live for a very long time,” says Whitney. On the patio, lush greenery surrounds the couch, turning this spot into a cozy nook, while candles on hanging wooden trays make the side yard glow at night.
The garden Wanting to add some green to the porch without eating up the floor space, Whitney and Adam hung metal planters from the trellis to create a vertical garden. With this modular setup, they can easily add new plants or move them to get more or less sun. The couple grows succulents, strawberries and herbs, including two kinds of basil, English lavender and mint—handy for making cocktails and meals.
