But did you know, that the best water plants can get is.. rain water? Just think about it: in the wild, they don’t have water from the sink, or special ingredients for growing or shining. They only got .. rain. But rain harvesting is not always an easy job, especially if you have a large garden. Some people thought about this and now we have rain barrels:  a large plastic barrel that you position under your water pipe, with a tap at the bottom for easy use.  Don’t worry about the design of these rain water barrels, you’ll have a lot of options to choose from: shape, size, color, material.

Another cool thing is the wall covered with broken mirrors that creates a strange effect of huge space (don’t be fooled).

The ceiling looks amazing on both sides, interior and exterior. Outside it looks like it’s waving or it’s made of rubber.
