This video is part 2 of my balcony makeover, where I'll be tackling the bedroom balcony.
For the first episode - main living room balcony:
• Apartment Balcony Make...
What was previously an unused balcony that serves as a dumping ground, has now been transformed into a peaceful Japanese Garden where I can meditate, practice yoga, or slow down from the busyness of everyday life.
This has allowed me to be more mindful, and helped increase my focus and productivity throughout the day.

I LOVE THIS! I love Japanese gardens but I never imagined I could have my own due to limited space. This was really creative and inspiring!

[@reynardlowell]

Thanks! Glad you liked it. There's not much inspiration out there (Japanese garden in high-rise balcony), so really glad with how it turned out.

[@amandajohnson4428]

I’m blown away. This balcony transformation is stunning. It’s seems so relaxing. I need to work on my own balcony. Great job.

[@kentigar]

The shadows and rhythms of light and shade, the textures our eyes feel, the breeziness without hurry...beautiful and inspiring work here!

[@dianawambacher8687]

absolutely the best balcony make over I have ever seen in KZbin. You are the Winner! Amazing and inspiring. ✨🤩✨

[@AhmetKaan]

*Everything negative around you is an opportunity for you to rise up. Stop caring about what others are thinking, just start putting in the work. I am cheering for you...*

[@terri241]

Amazing, Reynard. Beautiful materials, subtle lighting (including consideration of shadows!) to give the space a sense of repose both day and night. Thank you for sharing this lovely garden with the world.

[@AnupriyaBiswasRoy]

I am so amazed at your creativity! Absolutely love this! Being from Australia, I think I have used the excuse that most of diy interiors videos use items only available in USA, but look at you! Goes to show creativity knows no bounds, brilliant! 👏🏼

[@roannadavis]

This looks so lovely, Reynard! I can't wait to see what you both do with any outside space in the new home.

[@merced3607]

How we wished we can have that peace of mind & tranquility🥂.

[@Petechew-k1s]

This is the best Balcony Garden idea with the best vibe.❤❤. Thank you for this video.

[@rhyes8538]

This is such a unique idea for a balcony you don't want to use as another sitting area! Btw- after every video you release I ask my self what is left in his home to get a makeover, everything is so perfect in and of itself- the you release another video where your home gets even more comfortable and relaxing to look/live at!

[@reynardlowell]

Yeah, I got that aha moment when I realised not all balcony has to perform as a traditional sitting area 😅 It's almost completed now, the bedroom will be the final project before a new apartment tour :D

[@rhyes8538]

@@reynardlowell Great! Cant wait to see the new tour!

[@ACCOMPLISHEDSHEIS]

@@reynardlowell I knew you was going to move and you did all this project knowing you have to uninstall and pack. Bro. You sure have the energy. Lord. 😂😂😂🤨😂

[@vititaran15]

I loved it. Witching it gives me good vibes. 👍

[@realmofthesenses]

What an inspiration. And this Japanese garden balcony is do-able.

[@Katniss_cosmos]

Wow so simple and inspiring

[@randomnyss2011]

This is so relaxing to watch.... sadly I live in part of planet which is very dusty and this place will need cleaning thrice a day.... Few elements displayed are dust friendly component... ❤️❤️❤️

[@timothywrighton8902]

BRILLIANT!

[@moonlightluddite]

I don't know if it's intentional but I like how all your video sponsors are actually quite useful and not random. I've used a few and I somehow look forward to your video sponsors, please keep it up.

[@reynardlowell]

Definitely intentional! I’m quite picky when choosing who to work with, usually it’s product/service I personally use or one that I can see myself or viewers using.

[@AmazonEstherIbia]

I've screamed wow like a thousand times already. This is so gorgeous. Omg!

[@sbaumgartner9848]

Your Japanese-inspired balcony is amazing! Especially when this is a rental unit.

[@saramarzoli9647]

This has to be my favourite project, out of every project of every content creator. Fantastic

[@Bludlungg]

[@PamelaProPeace]

Moving (at age 72) from a house to an apartment with a small balcony I thought my dream of one day having a Japanese style garden was over ⛩ - until I watched this. 🏮🇯🇵Absolutely exquisite! 👹 Amazingly my balcony is the same size as yours! Can you please give details of quantities used? 🙏 How many packs of Runnen decking? How many bags of the different stones - what was the weight of the bags? ありがとうございました

[@johnalvaro5392]

I'm amazed!
