The Cotswolds-Inspired Gardens of Designer Mikel Welch with an Outdoor Bath

Interior designer and Drew Barrymore Show design expert Mikel Welch takes us through the extraordinary backyard of his Cotswolds-inspired 1920s Tudor cottage in Los Angeles — the outdoor space where he spends 90% of his time. With a vintage cast iron bathtub used for morning baths and champagne on ice for guests, a custom Heston outdoor kitchen and bar for Mediterranean feasts, a 100-year-old vintage garden table gifted by a friend, a pebble garden seating area, and a thriving herb garden of mint and lavender — this backyard feels more like the English countryside than California.
