Something to PONDer

Finally Friday and time to relax and/or kick up your heels.

I have a folder on my PC that is packed full of ideas for home and garden. My Inspiration Folder. Some people have an Inspiration Board, which provides them a visual. I didn't really have a place to hang a board (or was too lazy to make one) so I just put all the photos in my handy dandy click of a button instant visual gratification folder.

My folder contains favorite photos found all over the Internet, from favorite kitchens, media rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, Irish pubs (yes I want to have an Irish pub/game room/sportsbar....wouldn't that be a favorite hangout in a home?) to outdoor gardens and PONDS. One of my clients that I've done several projects for has the most beautiful yard, front and back, each year they are featured in their hometown garden tour. I'll try to get some photo's next time I'm at their home. It's amazing all of the work and creativity that has went into making their yard a tranquil oasis.

I've always wanted a Koi/Fish Pond, complete with waterfalls and lush landscape surrounding. When I finally start this project, maybe I'll start on a small scale.




Something easy to maintain.



But still packs a punch.



Or I can opt for something just a bit larger.
Love the blue bench.


ohhhhhhhh' a waterfall. Now we're talking.


Love the Japanese Maple tree.


Should we make it a bit larger?


Hhmmmm, Larger?












Maybe we should have a pond indoors?


Maybe not, but it is grand.
But grand is good, right? Love the LARGE ROCKS (BOULDERS)



And of course I saved the best for last. Just to prove a point. Regardless of where you live, what kind of home you reside, your budget, how you garden and landscape. A water feature, whether it's on a large or small scale, will spiff the place up a bit.





Have a HAPPY DAY
