ad OMG I DIY’d a ‘stone’ waterfall which should cost thousands.. 😍 ⛲️ I had my eye on this fountain but actually couldnt bare spending £3,000 on it, and you know me im all about saving money but I dont mind spending a little bit now and then on the right things… like these incredible solid brass corston garden lights that im going to rig up to the fountain so its all twinkly at night time. 💡 But before I can even get a chance to install the fancy lighting I’m covering this whole thing in tile adheisive which has proven with my previous projects to set like stone and repel water (sort of what its intended for) so lets fake it till we make it 😉 I ended up using a mixture of my hands, a brush and sponge to create different textures with the adheisive because I want it to feel aged like it’s travelled all the way from rural France. 🇫🇷 And to be honest these wall lights are also giving me those French, parisian vibes to, like look at that fluted glass and brass fixtures, it doesnt feel like I should be able to use these outside, they really do feel like exquisite interior design pieces that have flowed right through into the garden. 🪴 And the big reveal, im just so in love with the finnished result, youd never guess behind this stone fecade is a plastic lions head and insulation board… And I just cant wait to be sat out here in the evenings with a glass of wine 🍷 Let me know what you think to this one, love jack. Xx
