I love this patio from designer Mark D. Sikes. A charming Hollywood Hills brick lined outdoor space. A wonderful garden…the perfect backyard. It works. The iron outdoor furniture with light cushions and gingham decorative pillows, the blue and white garden stools and accents, the manicured boxwood topiaries and all of the brick laid in a herringbone pattern.
Lovely outdoor living.

What do you think of this garden? Too much brick or just right?
Happy Friday!

P.S. Sorry I didn’t post yesterday. Was running around like a chicken with no head as usual. Had lunch at my favorite restaurant on the upper east side called Le Bilbouquet with best of friend AM, met a mayor of major NJ city, window shopped in Soho and had dinner on the water. It was a full and wonderful day.
P.P.S. Supposed to go to lunch with good friend A.Ro. today. Need to call her!
P.P.P.S. I must say a huge thank you to CM and LH back at COCOCOZY HQ who did so much wonderful work to make sure everything at the COCOCOZY booth at the New York International Gift Fair was perfect. CM has been holding down the fort too while I’ve been gone. Doing an amazing job as usual. Thank you. Thank you.
P.P.P.P.S. Must also say thank you to MK and EP who did such an awesome job helping me out in the booth during the trade show and who are just all around nice people. Will miss you guys!
P.P.P.P.P.S. Have been staying with best of friend AM and her hubby JE and their cute kiddies while here in NYC…it has been so much fun…they are like family. One night I got home late after going to dinner with A.Ro. and I was sitting on AM and JE’s bed telling them about the day…before I knew it I had passed out on their bed with them in it and I woke up at 4am! Good friends! Right?
P.P.P.P.P.P.S. Hope you have a great weekend!
I think it’s gorgeous! I love white washed brick so this really struck a cord with me. I love all of the levels and areas too – many little touches for LOTS of personality.
I think it is perfect! Especially with the creeping fig!
Definitely NOT too much brick 🙂 Mark D. Sikes
reminds me of the secret garden. love the chevron brick pattern.
I think all the brick is really the show stopper and also really helps in allowing all that beautiful greenery to stand out. I love it!

stunning patio and works beautifully with the home. Love the antique looking brick. It really adds a lot of character! Thanks for sharing!
Please ask Mark, who commented above, who is the patio furniture manufacturer?
I think Mark Sikes can do no wrong when it comes to decor, indoor or out!
Shhhh….Let’s keep le bilboquet our secret! Elle McPherson and Matt Lauer took me there for lunch 17 years ago and it’s been my favorite ever since. Fantastic people watching, Cajun chicken to die for!
What a gorgeous garden! i love every aspect of it.. including the wonderful door at the top of the steps! Thanks for sharing..
A simply gorgeous garden space. I would love to be outside relaxing in this green haven! Great post 🙂
I love how the brick gives an old world look!
The entire brick design layout in white just makes everything look majestic. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve always wanted a brick patio like that. I wonder if it’s riddled with weeds between the bricks, or whether there’s some kind of grout that can keep them out.
Wow! What a patio! I could spend a lot of time at that patio just reading a book or simply entertaining friends! Very relaxing. I also liked the outdoor living furniture used. The place is great!
