Evelyn Paul and Andrew Maloney’s love of travel is evident not only in their home’s décor but in the design of their backyard. “We are both avid travelers and our home reflects some of the cultures and experiences that resonate with us,” said Maloney. “We think our backyard is pretty neat. We’ve nicknamed it ‘The Resort’ because it looks and feel like we are on vacation when we’re there."
