Two circular fountains would grace each side of the pathway. Wendy plans to match the European elegance of the home with a classical design. This custom look is carried over to the grand cast iron fountain, which includes fish for the kids to enjoy. Wendy has succeeded in unifying the elegant European look of the home into the front entryway, which looks as if it's always been there.
