We purchased our home on February 29, 2020 and immediately began gardening. I have shared the journey as we have torn apart and re-made several areas of our yard. I’ve shown you how we tore apart and put back together the basement. But I have not shown you our home. Until now. This is all very much the “before”. We literally moved in and set up with our existing furniture. Nothing has been painted or altered - yet. In a few weeks we will get started on remodeling, but here is our home as we have loved it for the last year and our plans to make it our own Hollywood Dream Home.

Monique, I love that you shared your lovely home with us just as it is, lived-in, NORMAL, and not too fussy. Your view is INCREDIBLE! I love your style, your way of being, and love YOU! You're so freakin' cool.
Yes, lower & slimmer profile furniture would really work nicely in the space with a bigger jute/seagrass rug under the main rug that would come just to where the side tables fully were anchored on it. That would leave ample walk space on the walkway floor. The sound wouldn't bounce as much & it would be awesome looking. Great space, love that tree & your deck is fabulous. Love the mid century fireplace!
Love your home Monique. What i love more is your no crap,down to earth attitude. Too many unrealistic home tours on KZread. Houses not homes.Thank you for the tour.

You have a lovely, peaceful home =) I agree, it's so refreshing to see a house tour where it looks like people actually live there-not the furniture showroom aesthetic that we see so often. Beautiful garden and cats too!
I love that you didn't stage everything...looks homey, well loved and lived in. A house is for living! Lovely home!

Thank you for sharing your Sun filled Tranquil Home. The original design was definitely made for people who love Outdoors. Gardens/grounds /views are stunning.
You have found the most peaceful and beautiful little hideaway in the hills. I love the sounds of the birds and the gardens are simply beautiful with all the different flowers. I really like the zen garden furniture. Great colour. Loved seeing the kit kats! Thx for sharing
The home is BEAUTIFUL and those views are breathtaking!!!! With views like that & the outdoor seating --- I wouldn't even need to leave for vacation. Congrats!!!
You never have to worry about how you look when you've been working because you look terrific, think these are my favorites, also when you and your friend made that long trip together, love those ,2 videos. Thank you for showing your beautiful home. You both worked hard to make it a little slice of paradise. The flowers, the pond ,water lillie's sun 🌞 streaming in the windows , your cats are fortunate to have the both of you. Sending love 💕 enjoyed the trip through your home. 🌺🌿🌹🌸🌳🌻. I also feed the birds and squirrels. Fed squirrel some pecans this morning, usually it's peanuts 🥜 for the jays and squirrels. Dee from. Gulf coast Florida
Late to this! Silly, happy cats basking in the sun. A wardrobe room. Space and light, and multiple level gardens. Monique, I am so happy to bursting for you!

You are one hard worker!! So happy for your life in your new home with your mate Howard!!🥂
Your house is coming along beautifully! What a big change from your old apartment! Nice to see the kitties again! 😻
Beautiful space that looks like home. I am envious of the garden and my kitty Monty is envious of the catio!
Such a pleasure to see your home , Monique, in its entirety 🙏 It feels lived-in and appreciated. The living room windows to the deck add so much to the feel of the space. You have more than the view - you are IN IT. You are WITH the trees and the birds and the breeze and the expanse of the canyon .... All right there with you.... spilling into the house - gorgeous !!!! The kitchen cabinetry - smart people got all the lower ones in DRAWERS, thank god 😊 and the range is fabulous. The plans for what you want to do with windows and doors is very logical and practical 👍 Considering where we live .....🌿✨🌴🌳🌿🪴🌱 Please add a link for the “fabulous Belgian linen sheets” ☺️ “Beautiful dressing area” is genius idea for your line of work especially 😇 Looking forward to the zen garden tour. ✨🌿
A sanctuary full of light and love, where to enjoy the important things in life.

Such a lovely warm and tranquil home! I love it! Enjoy! So peaceful! Love the sunlight and view and water feature!
I love this entire 🏠! But the decks and outdoor spaces are so gorgeous! Still think the studio is so luxurious and colorful. Great job! Thanks so much for sharing your home with us!
Your home is my type of place, cosy, comfortable with awesome views. I think I would be spending all my time outside on the patio. You have done a great job so far on the garden, the flowers are looking very colourful. I love the size of the house, it's ideal for you Howard and the cats, a place to relax and enjoy all life has to offer. Just enough rooms to have to do housework, plenty of decking to enjoy the awesome views and sunsets...the ultimate romantic hideaway. ❤
Thankyou for the tour, I'm so impressed with all the changes you've made since moving in ( all the hard work and imagination ). With the sun pouring through the windows making things glow and the wind gently rocking the trees and flowing through the flowers .I get the impression that your house is floating above the canyon . Love your kitties.
Love your gardens! & I love that you also like Watching the hummingbirds & squirrels,lol.
I absolutly love your house 😃. I think it's just the right size. It feels cozy 🥰. And OMG you have created the most amazing zen garden. I love the colours. That was really a wonderful surprise when you walked around the corner to the zen garden. I just smiled so big. Absolutly gorgeouse 😍🥰😍🥰😍. You both have made a beautiful home together ❤. Xoxo🥰🤗🥰

Your house and gardens are lovely. Can’t believe how much you have accomplished in a year. Being a renter, I envy you having a permanent place to “do your thing”. Much love sent your way.
Love this! Your views are amazing and the best part is you have great places to sit and enjoy them! All the gardening you have done has certainly paid off...I think I am jealous of your green thumb!
You really made an incredible garden! Master!
I always enjoy watching you... just being you... comfortable in your own skin... working and sweating outside in the sun to Glamorous Monique in the the Studio. You have an Awesome relaxed personality and I can see why Howard loves you so much. P.S. That one plant by the window that you said Howard has been growing for (13?) years is very cool! What is it? It's so perfectly green!! You both have such talent planting and growing plants and flowers... Happy Sunday! Hope the Palisades Fire is not close to you 🥴
Thank you so much for letting us into your home. Love it!
Your house looks cozy and when you're done remodeling, I'm sure it will be even cozier yet elegant. Your gardens are coming along nicely and how nice to have 3 different places to sit around and enjoy the view you paid for. Nice job you guys!
ready for black cat to say "c'mon bud" after he put him paw on his shoulder😂 fun vid. ty
Love your firm ideas - and the yellow house over vonder- and Belgian sheets - and stretching, naughty ginger sweetness.
You are quite the gardener. From where you started, I’m impressed with how lush and developed it’s become.
Well . . . that was so much fun to see how you've turned your new home into a beautiful "Zen" paradise. Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!
Monique, your home and surroundings are so beautiful. I love what Howard did with the planter, making it a water feature. All the sunlight coming in is magnificent. It's all like an oasis.
Great views, Monique! Thanks for the fun tour.

Thanks for the tour Monique. I'm all about the Nature!!! The landscaping looks Gorgeous, as well as the Beautiful view! You both really have a eye for mixing & matching the different plants. They're all very beautiful & eye catching. I just LOVE it all! The Zen garden is coming along nicely, I can't wait to see the final version! You both always have great vision for how you want things to look, so however you renovate down the road, I'm sure it will look spectacular! It's always great to see the kitties! I'm sure they're enjoying sunbathing in all that natural sunlight coming into your house. They look like they are really enjoying their new home just as much as you & Howard are.

@@MoniqueparentYT. U have a big orange**_ I have had two. I was tickled how caring and bright they are. Both boys. Have always inherited girls. Boys so much more more loving. They are prone to thyroid trouble tho. I tried so long to save the one. Could not slow that motor. He drank n drank. Poor ol feller. Only 12 or 13.
I've been to a lot of homes in fantastic locations there in S. Cal, most amazed me at how small the rooms really were & not so fancy inside the older ones for sure. With some modern remodel work, yours will be adorable. I can totally see how you two found the potential in it with great bones and that view. The outside is looking beautiful! I so miss having many varieties of flowers & plants I had there. Great job on that and the studio Monique. I'm sure if you hadn't had to put the insane $$$$ into the water damage downstairs you'd have your sweet dressing room closet or something else redone by now instead. The joys of home ownership! I'm so happy for you that you found such a great guy & for getting the happy peaceful life you deserve! Hugzzzz

Your house is fabulous and it's so perfect for two people. Two people who are so perfect for each other. I love that it has space so you can do your girlie stuff. That pink sofa just pops thru that window. It is everything!

LOVELY! And what a thoughtful, elegant outdoor space for your kitties!
I wish my home was as peaceful as yours. Very nice place…..love the sun coming in. I’d be on that patio/balcony all the time!
You've settled in nicely in a short amount of time, Monique! You won't believe it, but we have a similar 2nd bedroom which is actually our walk-in clothes closet also! Tim made a large clothes rack on wheels (with a bottom rack for shoes, and a top one for hats!) as soon as we moved here, and discovered that none of the small closets in this 1930's home have any hanging racks installed for clothes! A beautiful lot with naked ladies; who knew?! Have a lovely weekend, Beautiful, Sherrey 💕🎠💕
Very calm and peaceful feeling. Love the Japanese Maple tree in the Zen garden, I would add 2 more, decorate in 3's for impact. Your flowers are very pretty in garden. The water accents are great. Thanks for sharing

So true about 3’s …, maybe enclose Orange, lemon, tress in wire like kitty enclosure so “ visitors” don’t eat them… would be very easy to do. The bird squares for food can be made in your kitchen so cheaply… make up a couple months ahead… store in bucket in garage. Those squares can get to be expensive. 😀😀
Thank you so much for showing us your beautiful home! It is very cozy and elegant. I love the views and all the beautiful plants. And all around lovely home! My husband and I lived in SoCal for over 30 years and we miss it so much!
That was such a beautiful tour. Love the house, the kitties, the view, the Zen garden, the trees, the wooden floors... Loved everything! My passion is decorating and home interior so this was just up my alley. Thank you, Monique. Awesome video and waiting for more!

The place looks fantastic! I think it looks great now doesn't even need remodeling but I know it's fun to do it. You guys have done a great job and I love the water feature. Your gardens look so pretty you are very talented. I'm so happy for you I know it's so great to have your own home and privacy and not be in apartments any more. :)
I love your home Monique. So comfy and peaceful...and I wouldn’t worry one iota about major remodelling....you can do so much outdoor living there ....who needs the perfect kitchen! it’s a lovely home in an amazing location. I’d probably just have the kitchen units professionally painted in a lighter colour, if there’re in ok condition , and make a few tweaks to make it more to your taste. ...and I bet you could research techniques and do that yourself since you seem capable of anything like that! You’ve done so much there.....very impressed. Sending best wishes to you all from a chilly Wales! 🏴🏴🌈🍾🥂🏴🏴❤️
Thanks for sharing your home with us. It's so Californian. Here in Milton Canada it's just starting to be growing season. I envy you the lushness of a warmer climate and your home feels so inviting. Looking forward to the zen garden video. Sending hugs to you, Howard & the kitties. Be well. 🇨🇦🥂
Beautiful! Love the deck and your spacious kitchen. And that view! Also love that you make your cats special spots of their own!
What a treat Monique. Beautiful love nest. I’m so happy for you and Howard. Views to die for and gardeners dream. I loved seeing the cats. Sequel made me choke up a bit because he looks like the twin brother of our Mocchie Man. We had him for 21 glorious years!❤️❤️🐾

So many comfy places to sit outside, small, cozy space inside. Thank you for sharing.
Sequel loves his new home. I love both the babies. 🖤🧡It was funny when you said the squirrels don’t let you have the oranges . 😂
Just in case you didn't know, just put clear sugar water in your hummingbird feeder. The red dye is tonic for them. Beautiful home!Enjoy!
I love the front door!, it’s fabulous!, ❤️
Outside garden looks great! Fun to have seen your initial work & plant selections fill in beautifully! Here’s an idea for steps to studio area: transplant the naked ladies somewhere pretty and extend a deck over that area when you replace steps- that’s prime living and entertaining space :) as a designer always thinking of expanded living space as new Realestate;)
I'm loving that you showed us your home as is. Very refreshing that you didn't make it look like a show house and tidy every little thing away. Your home is beautiful and I think they must be the luckiest kitties alive 💕
After living on Sunshine Ker. & Laurel Crest Can in Studio City and having the cottage on Kling St. Everything matters! Your home should feel just like you dream it to feel! You should feel relaxed like you do when you are on vacation! Take your time and plan very well with your love. Congratulations!
Man, you have the BEST garden!
Monique, your home is terrific. Thank you for sharing your abode. Please know that the red dye in your hummingbird feeder is lethal for the birds. Just do a 4 to 1 (4cups water to 1cup sugar) for the hummers with no dye. Hummingbirds are my favorite bird so I am just passing in some info to one animal and bird liver to another!👍
You and Howard are very lucky! And so are all the plants and animals...
What a beautiful place to live! Love all the outdoor gardens!
LOVE the water feature! 😎 Your hubby is so creative, and I am guessing you’re very proud of him. Very fun video! I just love a good house tour….thank you! First time here, btw. CIAO 🙋🏻♀️😊
