We love our patio for its size and the lovely potted flowers, but it lacked a focal point especially against the house wall. It was boring.

| Our patio |
I often imagined myself spending summer mornings under the rising sun with coffee enjoying the gentle ripple of flowing water.
Few years ago, I decided to place a concrete fountain against the house wall. I choose an old-world style fountain making the structure blend effortlessly with the rest of the patio.
A fountain surrounded with flowers and foliage completes the setting. Every year, I plant different flowers in the concrete pots. Especially love Coleus for its stunning leaves and non-stop vibrant hues all season long.
Being the north side of the house, shade flowers do best. Here are partial shade impatiens and ivy.
Not only did the garden water fountain add an alluring focal point to the boring wall, but its gurgle definitely added atmosphere and a sense of calm to our patio.
