Formal blue stone tread steps, lead from an upper walkway (separate pic) to a large circular blue stone terrace with surrounding stacked- stone cheek walls. The focal point here is a rustic (albeit nicely upgraded) 40- yr old fireplace (not shown). This natural terrain produces an amphitheater- camp like setting! You're completely surrounded by an abundance of natural vegetation, a meandering creek and waterfalls flowing through the forest, a small cypress bridge.. absolute serenity! Also, along recessed pea gravel pathways are numerous 100-150- yr old primary growth hardwoods, specimen Crape Myrtles, Magnolias, Chinese & Blood-red maples, as well as, thousands of flowering plants!

"MIDNIGHT AT THE OASIS, SING YOUR CAMEL TO BED." That's what I always thought she said in this song. Just NOW when I looked up the lyrics, I see that I had it wrong ALL of these years!! HAHAH! Just like that song "Just Call Me Angel In the Morning, Just Brushed My Teeth Before You Leave Me, Baby!" HAHAHAH!!!,....it is "just brushed my CHEEK!" TURNING A MUNDANE BATHROOM INTO A TENTED OASIS FANTASY! This client was an extremely FUN client! She wanted her bathroom to be a fantasy of tented fun. My suggestion was to have a palm tree as the "center weight bearing column", holding up the tent where the split in the ceiling was. Then I painted the "tasselled cornice" of the tent going around all of the walls. There are other walls that are not seen here, but they have the same palm trunk with ropes like a circus tent attached to the "stakes in the ground". I enjoyed this mural project immensely! This client gave me artistic license to just RUN WITH IT! " But you won't need no harem, honey When I'm by your side And you won't need no camel, no no When I take you for a ride Come on, Cactus is our friend He'll point out the way Come on, till the evening ends Till the evening ends Midnight at the oasis Send your camel to bed Got shadows painting our faces And traces of romance in our heads" What kind of lyrical fantasy could I create for your own OASIS? call me to brainstorm: 561-573-0123 talin@talinsstudio.com AS A FINISHING TOUCH, WE WOULDN'T BE COMPLETE WITHOUT A FLORIDIAN GECKO CRAWLING OVER THE DOORWAY, CHASING A FLY. JUST PUTTING FINISHING TOUCHES...LADDER STILL IN THE PICTURE. THIS SHOWS THE SPLIT IN THE CEILING WHICH I HAD TO WORK WITH TO STILL SHOW A "TENTED" CEILING.
