I did a fun project this week to add a little more ambience to my Euchlora spa/studio. I love the fireplaces with their aged brick but with the sofa pushed up against the one in the waiting room lounge it seemed dark and like we all avoided sitting there. The candles were nice but not enough. So I got the idea for a garden….
Purchased an outdoor fountain at Lowes…
Added some rocks and then a plant…
Purchased a clamp-on lamp but removed the clamp, put in a grow light bulb…
…then laid it on the hearth facing the plants.
Arranged the rocks to sort of cover the electrical cords…Then I built my sofa table in front of it. David framed a couple of old cupboard doors we had then I spray painted the frame with galvanized paint then had glass cut to make a shadow box. For legs I used a couple of galvanized planter boxes…
Everything assembled; a shadow box display of painted personalized color swatches, light on, fountain on, voila…. Denise R. and I decided it changed the whole feeling of the place.
For the full experience, watch this video and hear the sound…turn up your volume. If you are reading this post by email you will probably need to click through to the website to actually be able to play the video.

Lovely, Jane. There’s nothing more soothing than the sound of water. And given that you and Denise R both have exquisite taste, I’m quite certain that this little addition was quite transformative…. :-). Hugs, L
