I once made the mistake of buying one of those affordable (cheap) tabletop water fountains from the department store - the ones in aisle 5, right between the scented candles and CDs of mood music.  Unfortunately, to hear the "soothing" sound of the water cascading over the faux slate terraces and river rock you had to put your ear within six inches of the fountain, while the not-so-soothing hum of the water pump could be heard from the other side of the living room.  That surely wouldn't be a problem with a fountain from Spirit Elements, based in Boulder, Colorado.  They have a wide selection of Water Art Features, which are on display around the world in galleries and luxury homes.  Pictured is the "Maui Falls Wall Waterfall," part of the Semi-custom Collection.  Customers can choose from a variety of materials to create a one-of-a-kind waterfall for their living room, office, bedroom, etc.  - certainly one that wasn't found in aisle 5.

Spirit Elements also offers a number of high quality products in addition to waterfalls, including playhouses, pergolas and gazebos.
