Flickr Find: Amir and Scott's Backyard Make-Over!

AT:LA reader Danny took some pics of his friends Amir and Scott's beautiful backyard makeover. We're loving the idea of using IKEA planters filled with ice for drinks! A few more pics after the jump...

That space looks so relaxing and inviting..especially the coolers filled with Pacificos!

Where are the plants? I'm sure it's great for parties, but the lack of greenery isn't that appealing to me as an outdoor space.

Love that outdoor rug! where did you get it? Also, is the space covered, I am wondering about the hanging lamp. Living in LA has alot of advantages...outdoor parties are one for sure. Good job!

Hi, Danny here...I think the rug is from Ikea but I'll check to make sure....the space is covered with a wooden slat open roof but the center is left open, which is where the lamp hangs from...here's a picture that shows it a bit better

Danny, it looks like there is a lot of greenery around the outside perimeter of Scott and Amir's. Are those trees or vines?

I think it's a combination of trees (from the neighbors) and vines....the wooden slat roof has vines growing all over it so it provides just the right amount of shade without blocking out too much sun.
