Turning An Armoire Into A Fountain!: a house log

When Samantha over at one of our regular journal reads sent us an remarkable armoire redo (simply wait to see what she turned it into), we had to share her insanely inspired Hands-on undertaking. Here is her letter:

It is likely too late in the year for an outdoor space before and after, but here is our armoire-to-fountain makeover. The outside of the fountain is painted with weather-resistant paint. The inside tanks are coated with roofing sealant. The fountain pump is from Home Depot. It makes a wonderful refreshing sound that drowns out the traffic and (nearly) the constant helicopters that hover overhead every evening. – Samantha

Yeah… unbelievably cool, right? For more info and photos drop in on her excellent journal right here. Thanks so much for sending the before and afters our way Samantha! We are loving the fact that you reimagined that old armoire in a totally unexpected way. The serene sound of running water must be remarkable out on the patio on a warm sunny day. Ah to enjoy a warm sunny day again… is it spring yet?
