It reminds me of a show I was watching on TV the other day called, Divine Design. An Asian couple owned the home and had an exquisite Japanese style garden similiar to yours and wanted their family room to compliment the outside. Candace Olsen is the designer and I would give my right arm to have her come to my house and re-do my bedroom!
It seems as if you are very patient. Your garden is beautiful!
It is beautiful wasabi!! What makes it even more so is the island it is on!! I still want to go. Don't see it happening anymore, but, that is my biggest wish!!
I love Japanese gardens so DH and a friend built this for me from my design. It's very beautiful at night with the spotlight on and the sound of the waterfall. Very peaceful.
