Notice the themes in these Outdoor Living Space Models. They all have a relaxing and meditative scene, with comfortable lounging furniture nearby water.
The Living Pleasures has an urban style with a bottles water fountain, firepit, comfy couch with throw pillows and blanket, and surrounded by succulent native plants. It reminds me of Urban Outfitters, The Lab anti-mall, and The Camp Nature Mall in Costa Mesa, CA, which is near South Coast Plaza.
The Up on the Roof has a skyscape and urban feel with modern comfy furniture and geometric pieces. There is also a firepit, lanterns, and native plants.
The Holistic Wellspring looks like an office space for a vegan.
The Culinary Essence is for people who plan to have spring and summer backyard parties, and enjoy their meals outdoors.
The Wings of Spring involves creating your own butterfly sanctuary by building a safe haven for butterflies in your backyard. It is a huge house surrounded by a mesh screen, and it has some cantaloupe and pineapple pieces inside. I think the butterflies were sleeping in this video; in my second video, they are awake and flying around inside their sanctuary. It is a nice place to read a book and unwind after a long day.
The Native Namaste looks like a yoga studio amidst nature. It is perfect for a yogi who likes to spend time alone, meditating, doing yoga, reading, and blogging on the Internet.
The Mise En Place looks like elegant dining in the outdoors. I especially liked the edible plants archway, in which I noticed little strawberries on one row. This would be a perfect backyard for people who want to grow their own herbs, veggies and fruits. It also has an urban feel, similar to these rooftop nature living space themes in NYC. The style looks modern and elegant.
The centerpiece this year is a nature scene, created by Tim Estes from Fiesta Parade Floats. It involves giant colorful flowers, bridge, creek, lady bugs, frogs, bees, and hummingbirds. As I was walking around the island structure, checking the creative and artistic sculptures, the little bridge amidst nature, greenery, wildlife, and water reminded me of my walking group hikes. Fiesta is also involved in building the floats for the Rose Parade.
