Pond Makeover

My little Fishies (they share a common name as there are too many to name individually) had been complaining to me about needing to upgrade their pond lately, so a makeover was in order. Hubby was pleased to get his D.I.Y. skills into practice, and he designed this pond concept that I am crazy about, clean lines and transparency! He used tempered glass, and we now have on our patio a 12ft by 12ft glass pond with a water feature in the centre, and a corner for water plants. Now I can watch my Fishies from every angle...they, on the other hand, get a huge apartment (a penthouse, no less!) thanks to my handy hubby.

  6. Love this haiku encouraging us to make a clean slate of it and glide freely... I love your aquatic garden! Makes me feel as though we are all underwater, swimming blithely along. Amazing trompe l'oeil!

  8. That's a beautiful water garden. It must be very therapeutic to watch the fishes swimming so happily in their new home.

  9. Your pond looks cool now. Where did you put that big, antique vase that was in the middle of the pond before? Hmm. That can still be a great decoration in your home, probably in the living room. Btw, your husband really made you happy, huh? That's great! ♥

  10. That is incredible!!! How did you fill it up? Are you going to add anymore aquatic plants? I think you have more of an aquarium than a pond!! WOW!

    Once again I am just loving the tour of all the gardens that have linked in to my little party! I am so excited to visit each and every post...they are all so inspiring and I am NEVER disappointed! The creative gardens and colorful displays that I am lucky to see are inspirations that I would never have found had I not found each of the gardeners I see online! Thank you so much for sharing your garden with my Friday Flaunt this week...I do hope you will link in again soon!
