An Outdoor Dining Room Scott definitely took a leap of faith when he bought his early 1900s bungalow-style house. At the time, he didn't even know what it looked like! But he knew the home was located in one of the most unique neighborhoods in Los Angeles — the Venice Canals — and he just couldn't pass that up. And although the deck works as an entertaining space as it is, Scott envisions an outdoor dining room that will impress friends and neighbors and stay true to the decor of the house.
