A fulldeck: An L.A. family gives their Shingle Style house an open-air room they can enjoy year-round

Article Abstract:

A Single Style house was remodeled in such a way that the outdoor family room was modified to an open-air room, where there was plenty of room for the children to play and for adults to grill and socialize with friends throughout the year. The open-air deck had all the comforts of a home along with furnished chairs made of a resilient resin that is able to withstand the sun, an outdoor stereo system and phone-hookups that offer convenience.
