What’s the deal with indoor versus outdoor fountains? Indoor fountains usually refer to self-contained, pondless fountains that are wall mounted, tabletop size, or floor level. These fountains are for use in decoration at home and in the office. These are not very easy to make, given the size and complexity of each design. Indeed many designs are very intricate and the materials quite pricey. (An indoor fountain could be made of slate stone or copper material). These indoor fountains can be much less, in terms of mess and maintenance than an outdoor fountain…but less expensive? Don’t be so sure, some slate stone indoor fountains can sell for over $5,000 dollars!

The first needed item is a pond or a pool. Fountains and ponds go very well with a full garden. The pump device is the next item you will need, as this will re-circulate the water from the pool back to the pipehead. (more…)
A number of basic design styles apply to everything from furniture to interior and exterior home design. Here are some general guidelines for some popular design styles:
Contemporary/modern design features sleek, unadorned cabinets, plain panel doors and hardware that’s hidden or unobtrusive.

A craftsman bungalow commonly has a generous front porch with a roof is carried on square, tapered columns. Stone or brick frequently is used for the porch’s base or columns. Masonry may also be used for a tapered chimney on one side of the house. (more…)
Romy Guevara, co-owner of Rommy Custom Designs, can give you a beautifully-lit stone patio with lanterns and arched walkways, elegant stone bathrooms and living areas with recreations of the Sistine Chapel, and dining rooms with bars of rich brown wood.
