New Summer Project

Water. I love its music. I guess that's why I love it when it rains. Softly, its gentle pattering soothes my frayed brain, and leaves me relaxed and calm. Loudly, its thundering sheets melt my worldly cares, and I imagine myself being cleansed spiritually too. For years, I've wanted an indoor waterfall so I can treat my ears and being to the sweet sounds of flowing water. Recently I noticed a perfect place for an indoor waterfall. It's next to the stairs and besides the hall tree. I've also identified a few more spots around the house for other indoor waterfalls. So a new summer project is borne! I'm going to build me an indoor waterfall. The exorbitant prices they charge for such waterfalls is one reason. But another reason is I think I have it in me to create one. My dear late dad used to plan and create beautiful water gardens for hotels, shopping complexes and elegant homes. During one season of his life, he also created beautiful miniature indoor waterfalls for a living. If my dear dad could do it, surely I can too. :) If only he could see me now, he would be chuckling, for I was never quite interested in what he was doing when I was growing up. Anyway, here are some websites I'm currently looking into in my search for the perfect indoor fountain. If you made one yourself, and have some tips, I would appreciate your advice! http://www.guide4home.com/out-ftn/make-indoor-water.htm http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/kobayashik/H2OFount.html http://www.fountainsnslate.com/ http://www.hgtv.com/landscaping/tabletop-fountains/index.html http://www.hgtv.com/landscaping/freeform-fountains/index.html |
