apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Gorgeous and inviting!!

I totally love what they've done with their yard - very inspiring for the yard reno I want to start this coming weekend!

Ok, I realize this post is about the patio, but could Heseon and John pretty please share the name/brand of the blue in the hallway?

Looks great!
How did you seal the pot to turn it into a fountain? We've been unsuccessful it our attempts to turn a beautiful pot into a fountain - the interior isn't glazed so it is too porous and the water just seeps through losing on inch or three overnight.
We've tried the Thompson's water seal and one or 2 other products- any suggestions?

mjoe---that's our 'pool' room since there wasn't space for one. we found the paint at lowe's (http://lowes.com), the paint is ultra premium interior semi gloss called 'sea sparkle' no. 5003-7B, by valspar paints. http://valspar.com and look it up here:

the pot we found was glazed both inside and out. to plug up the drainage hole, the folks at jackalope http://jackalope epoxied it, let it cure, and we picked it up the next day. it's been water-tight with no problems. they recommend using any clear silicone (the tube kind at the hardware store) for that. for sealing pots, here's a tip i found online about waterproofing:
