The "Banco" (Seatwall) was detailed by the use of the same floor tiles and accented with cushions to soften the hard surfaces. Notice the old world pattern in the fabrics.
Accents can make all the difference. This iron and glass table were a perfect fit to continue with the old world look and feel of the area. Notice the detail of the place settings. Everything is well thought out to give this area the perfect ambiance.
A small fountain was added for sound, notice the faux finish surround giving the appearance of large scale. The paint and texture of the building coordinates with the natural stone tile.
Design
With a delicate balance of earth, water, stone, and living plant materials.
The human touch of art transforms space into gardens of enchantment. Ca

Modeled base paint and faux finishes for the surround of the hand carved stone fountain, add an elegance to the Iron and glass table. The natural stone floor tiles and wall caps are softened by the rich fabric choices of the banco (seatwall) throws.
