Exterior projects, improvements, require formal approval by the Architectural Committee, required by your governing documents. This includes projects such as exterior paint color changes, front yard/drought tolerant landscaping (re-design/tree removals), concrete work (driveway renovation, sidewalks, planters), fencing, lighting, patio covers and pools, any construction, etc. Once an application is submitted, it is forwarded to the Committee who has 30-days to review.

Applications are available on the Villa Avanti website for your convenience, or can be mailed to you upon request.

In the morning, I may drink coffee and skim magazines; in the afternoons, I often enjoy the outdoors while I work on my computer; at night after my daughter goes to bed, my husband and I play some gin rummy. This space is an extension of our home. I spend a lot of time there and enjoy it very much, but that doesn’t mean I want to break the bank while adding some special touches and design elements. Therefore, I came up with some DIY ideas to spruce up an outdoor space that are gentle on the pockets.
Improving your outdoor space essentially involves bringing your living room outside. You want it to be inviting, inspiring, and comfortable for you and your guests to have great conversation in a welcoming setting. Small changes, such as adding fresh flowers and potted plants, setting mood lighting, and incorporating accent pieces, can make a big difference in a small space like a patio, porch, or veranda. www.fix.com/blog/sprucing-up-an-outdoor-space/ From the earliest of times, people have communed around the campfire, telling tales and sharing personal stories. Gathering around the fire brings us together, and a backyard fire pit is the perfect spot to kick back and relax.
Fire pits provide ambiance, warmth, light, and a place to gather and entertain. It’s no wonder that they are high on homeowners’ wish lists. Basking in the glow of a beautiful fire can be romantic – enough that you might just opt for a staycation to watch those sparks fly. https://www.fix.com/blog/how-to-build-a-fire-pit/
