INSPIRING OUTDOOR WATER FEATURE

Some of my long time readers might remember a long time ago when my father commissioned me to create some sort of outdoor focal point that would cover an eyesore of an air conditioner and add to the overall beauty of their backyard. Today, I am finally sharing the finished product.

Let's go back and remember what it looked like BEFORE. . .

My dad loves the sound of running water so instead of just creating a pond, I wanted to include a waterfall of some sort. Water runs down the tile wall and into the reflecting pool. Eventually the vines planted in pots will work their way up the sides of the installation producing a very charming effect. I always love it when things get better with age!
