Who wouldn't want to steal away to this garden nook? Tom Nelson and Randy Bolin designed this structure for their hot tub in their Oakland, California, garden. It's nestled into a tropical setting just out of sight of their home and features artwork and momentos from their travels. The open roof-work allows them to catch a glimpse of the stars and moon through the vines at night.
