We build our ponds to work with mother nature, not against her. By doing so, we have less pond maintenance, allowing us to enjoy the benefits of the pond instead of having to work on the pond. By constructing your water feature to perform as an ecosystem, nature is at the heart of the water cycle, not man. As a result, the root systems of pond plants filter the water, natural bacteria breaks down organic matter and pond fish eat the algae. No chemicals or other devices, just nature, doing what nature does best. If you live in Kentucky (KY) Contact us to get started with your Backyard Pond design. Photos By H2O Designs Inc.

A waterfront view like in this 1988-built master bathroom is priceless, especially with the existing skylight. The bath was taken down to studs and rebuilt, removing a wall between the toilet/shower area and opening up the entire 140sqft space. Curbless shower, freestanding airjet tub, rainhead shower and porcelain tile and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures throughout. An additional intrigue was recessed lights in tub and shower areas that have option to turn on UV light after use to diminish bacteria.

The Granada is one of our most popular surface mount sinks. This round copper sink is hand hammered from recycled copper by our master artisans. Through years of skill and experience passed down from previous generations, the end result is a one-of-a-kind work of art. Made from 16 gauge copper, the beautiful Granada has a warm antique finish and a 2" lip allowing for a smooth drop-in installation. Copper is amazingly easy to maintain. Fingerprints do not show as they will on stainless steel and other metals. For basic cleaning, simply use soap and water. Laboratory testing has shown that, when cleaned regularly, a copper surface continuously kills disease-causing bacteria, achieving 99.9% reduction within two hours of exposure. Copper has a "living finish" and its patina will continue to develop character over time, meaning it will become a richer, darker color. The patina creates a unique look of light and dark tones complementing each other. Made with the highest standards of quality and creative design, Novatto sinks add art and function to any bath or powder room.

This was a complete bathroom remodel for a client who didn’t want to sacrifice aesthetics for durability. With that in mind, we incorporated non-porous surfaces in high-end finishes for a completely modernized room. The centerpiece of the room is the beautiful vanity area. With classic, shaker-style cabinetry and a gorgeous Carrera marble sink, this is an attention-grabbing update. The rest of the room accents the marble sink through complimentary shades in unique textures. Using one color palette with a multitude of luxurious textures is a modern-take on making a space feel inviting, warm, and completely unique. To maximize character in the space, we added custom-made, raised panel wainscoting on the walls. When paired with the modern hexagonal tiles on the floor, the result is full of charm and elegance. Next, we moved the older steel tub to re-work the space and update the quality. The tub was replaced with a premium acrylic bath and wall system in a subway pattern. The pattern gives the look of trendy subway tiles, but without the maintenance required with traditional grout. Our premium acrylic bathroom systems are an advantageous alternative to fiber glass. Acrylic does not stain, does not crack, and is long-lasting in terms of looks and feel. Additionally, our systems incorporate an antimicrobial system for a deep clean, bacteria-resistant finish. This custom design was fun to do and showcases some of our favorite ways to remodel bathrooms. Mixing low-maintenance acrylic tub systems with luxurious Carrera marble ensures our clients get the most from their rooms in both form and function.
