When my husband and I were looking at designs for our new home, we went to several home décor stores. At one point, he wanted to buy table top fountains for our house. I didn’t see why he wanted them at first. He insisted that there was something about the sound and sight of constant running water. He said it was good fung shui. We weren’t Chinese so I wasn’t really into it. I could not understand why he wanted it so bad.

We went to so many stores in a span of eight months. I got to see more table top fountains. They started to grow on me. There was something calming about the sound of running water. It was as if I were outdoors. Table top fountains make the house seem so serene. It was a good idea after all. I just needed to find the right spot for it.
