RESORT DREAM❤️ 🌴HOME & GARDEN Award-Winning Landscape + 8 Garden Design Tips ft. Howie's Homestay

I bought a house and done few repairs . Then found out I had no money for landscaping the garden. So I decided to do it my self. Thank you for lovely ideas , I might steal some for my tiny garden.

Those "erotic stone sculptures" you identified are in fact used to pound rice to separate the grain from the husk. It just got filled with rain water. Those flat stones with roller like stones are used to grind corn, grain and tubers for the kitchen. Ahhh apartment living has taken the rural out of most of us city dwellers.

I was enthralled with the host and her adorable speech affectation. She was so enthralled with the garden, and her zeal made the show all the more enjoyable.

This property & garden are beyond stunning. This bloke has to be the most perfect example of when having money & taste come together. The garden is so quirky & lush and the attention to detail in both the house & garden is staggering. The house is just so bunged of “stuff” which you can tell all means something to its owner. He has literally created paradise!

I don't know about y'all, but this gal touring the garden is freaking adorable. 😍

This has to be one of the most beautiful asian garden homes I have ever seen. It embodies everything you want in this style. It is as close to perfect as it gets.

Hi Namastey, vanakkam I m from southern part of india Beautiful garden 💜 The stone items you saw opposite Lord Ganesha s statues are used for grinding The flat one is called ammi to grind chutneys etc The square ones with a hole topped by another stone handle is called aatukal used for making idlis, dosais, vadai etc We are using for centuries Thanks

Astounding space! Far from most people with unlimoted budgets manage to create beauty even close to this home and landscape. Most who attempt it don't have this persons (or couples) vision, taste and interest in nature, local artisans craft, and sculpture they clearly have. It's over the top luxurious of course but not gaudy, kitch, or too artficially arranged anywhere, just magical! The brickwork elements of the garden are particularly beautiful, and the way the water is featured in different ways everywhere is just dreamy. What a fantastic tour ! One thing though: If you don't want to literally kill thousands of flying birds you do NOT decorate with mirrors with no grid or lattice structure in front of it. The owner likely has people picking up birds with broken necks every single day, 100%. This goes also for modern or MCM buildings with huge glass panes in woodland, the windows outside reflect the suroundings and therefore birds fly at high speed straight into them. I've lived like that for a while and it was really tragic the amount of daily deaths, it broke my heart. Perhaps the two opposing mirrors with not so much space between isn't as bad if they arent double sided, idk... It's just an aspect seldom ever mentioned in architecture but a reality one should know about and safeguard against. Thanks for a terrific tour! I cant imagine a more luxurious way to have a relaxing vacation!

Thank you for the tour, Irene! The "sculptures" at 7:43 are traditional stone grinders. Used to grind grains, herbs, and spices. The ones with the phallic shape lol are the rollers/pestle.

Creating a beautiful sanctuary with gardens is more important than having the rarest plants. I love the fact that you give importance to garden design. =)

Here in Brazil we have these amazing trees with their trunks and branches covered in big and think thorns like the ones you showed us in the video. In winter, these magnificent trees lose their foliage which is replaced by white or pink flowers all over the branches. A true feast for the eyes. It’s the Ceiba speciosa. I guess it might be the one you showed us. Hope it helps. All the best.

That speaking voice is gold! She doesn't need any jewels as her voice is like a priceless gem that is very attractive, endearing, and it is really calming. It is so pleasing to the ears. Got me subscribed not just by her golden voice but also by her being a good and informative vlogger.

What a beautiful piece of heaven, thank you Irene for this great video. This family is truly blessed.

What a beautiful home/garden. If I had an unlimited budget like Howie, I would take this over those mega mansion you see in the western world. This place has so much life and soul to it…saying it’s exquisite would be an understatement!

Absolutely, love this beautiful and tranquil garden. I am not want that walks barefoot other than on sand, however, all I want to do is take my shoes off an ground myself through their garden. The designer, Howie and his wife did a wonderful job with their beautiful resort home. I pray I am blessed with the opportunity to visit it 🛐

Hi Irene, Its not an erotic art ( 7:56 min ), It is a kitchen grinder used in every home in the past years, now it has been replaced with electric grinders, anyways the video is amazing

One of the most incredible gardens and home I have ever seen. How awesome to live there. It needs to be a Museum some day. I would love to stay there some day. Thanks for the video. So whimsical, off the wall and works so well!

This garden is genuinely transporting into what seems like a lucid dream. I can only imagine the soil there is like touching black gold!

Love ChiangMai where the air was jasmine-scented...& this place! I wish to go back & visit this place! Lovely lovely video & illustrated advice!

Chiang Mai in Thailand was generally always one of my fav. Places. Was there only 2 times tho, even tho my family ( thai and chinese mixed ) lives in thailand. I grew up outside of asia ,so i only visit thailand mainly to see family and travel not too much around thailand if i do, mostly i stay in the south and in the central parts , as my fav places are usually with ocean. But north thailand is still one of my favs nature-wise after some oether places here, that do not include any ocean area.
