A friend and landscape architect here on the central coast designed the fountain. The tub is made of "corten" steel, so it rusts and then "sets" with that patina. I had fun picking out tile colors starting with a KK color. The backsplash on the waterfalls is in frosted glass to look more like the seaglass I like to collect. Don't know about the power to run the fountain, but it is recirculating and is powered by a pool pump!
I also put in a fire "table" with tumbled glass to try and emulate that same look. Here's a close up of it during the day:
A night shot with the lights and fire table going:
And the whole patio shot from the kitchen doorway.
The fire table is at the far end.
I've got a whole new room to enjoy, and with our mild winters here, and a good fire in the fire pit, I can be out all evening!
Enjoy the photos, I'm going to go eat some leftovers!
