I found some pics Siobhan of Castles and Courtyards had posted that I thought might help inspire you.Its one of my favourite sites,and one every house decorator needs.





This home, owned by Gecko, was designed keeping the water to the west in mind, to create an illusion of water flowing into the home from the small lake and down to the front of the house. Each room was built keeping this in mind.




The first floor was dedicated as a growing room. What better water than those that flow fresh from deep within the belly of our lands. The next floor up was the crafting rooms.




And finally, a beautiful view from the roof.




Hope these pictures inspire you
