Glaze on kitchen cabinets

I saw these cabinets on Pinterest which were done by an interior design company. Their description said a faux finish was applied. I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas of how this was done. Here's the website. http://designconnectioninc.com/blog/accessor...

Ponds & Water Features: OK HomeTalkers What Would You Do With this Hole if It Were in Your Yard?

We have this here pond in our yard. Our thought has always been to get in up and running again ... but want reasonable and easy. As it stands I plan to clean it up, repair cracks, possibly parge coat the concrete and paint with a pool grade paint. I would like to figure if there is someway to consider fish, but as I understand it fishies don't like the lime in the concrete. I am open to any and all of your thoughts. thank you. ~jb

    worry about the cracks in the concrete. Or just make it a fishless pond with different water flowers, lights and a fountain of some sort. We are getting ready to start building our fish pond this spring and I can't wait. I had a pond at our old house and the house we purchased in November doesn't have one - I already miss looking at my fish! lol
