    What about doing a smaller circle around the fountain, and then just put a garden around it. It would soften the area.

    Looking fabulous! I do agree though, that the design with the pebbles around the fountain is too busy! Way better to softly mix them, or even better to keep it more relaxing, just use lovely the stone you covered the rest of the patio with, but break them into pieces that would fit the round circle design. There's already a lot of "busy" with the stone patio and the stone and very white walls of the summer kitchen. Just my opinion, but I know you will think it out, and in the end, it will look amazing just like everything else! 🤗

    I love your ideas for the courtyard. I watched videos last year on KZread (under Project Portugal) Nick build a Portuguese calcada in his courtyard and I think you could borrow an idea from his design, he bordered in dark stone and had mainly white stone but inset some small simple shapes in little black stones to represent some animals relevant to their farm. You could do something similar for example a dragonfly, a dog ( for Cherie) a rose/flower or other things relevant to you. Just an idea. I know whatever you decide it will be beautiful.

    Amazing! I was wondering if you have weep holes drilled into the mortar between the rocks at the base of your summer kitchen stone walls? These will direct the water to the drain and not randomly through the wall. Once drilled, scrub the base of the wall and see if it makes a difference. Good luck!

    Your new fountain is really shaping up nicely. Here in the states you can find boxwoods that remain small. I don’t know if you have an option like that. I would think agapanthus would get too big, even though I love them. I know whatever you plant will be beautiful. I love the lakeside restaurant. We have our trip to Italy planned and will be in Cernobbio the middle of September. Can you suggest any restaurants that have lakeside dining similar to what you showed? We are traveling with our lifelong friends and are looking forward to making wonderful memories! ❤️😊
