Today's Obsession: Indoor Fountain with Lamp

I don't know if I would really put this in my home, but the idea of it makes me feel peaceful inside. I'm reminded of the lovely lobby of a hotel spa I went to once in Bangkok. I wish the massage rooms had been as nice -- they were just regular hotel rooms, and, no joke, instead of using an old stereo to play the sounds of the rainforest or bad new age music, the therapist turned on the t.v. and flipped the channel to CNN, which was covering bombing in Iraq. She seemed genuinely confused and a little offended when I asked her to turn it off mid-massage, after 20 minutes of stifling inappropriate giggles.

Back to the fountain. This nice little slice of watery spa bliss is from Eurway, my new favorite budget modern home site. My brother introduced me to it last week, and it has already supplied me with a new office chair and two bar stools. Almost everything on this site is exquisite, and the prices are unbelievable, so I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.



What do you think? Soothing and spa-like, or cheesy bacteria trap?

Soothing and spa-like! Uhh meanwhile...your spa experience in Bangkok, while AWFUL, makes for one helluva story years later. Ha!
