A room with a view is a very special and desirable feature in any home or office, yet sometimes, they are not nature-made. Fences, walls, our neighbor’s house or building, etc. may not be the ideal scenery outside our windows, but with a little DIY designing and help from “Mother Nature”, we can create beauty and inspiration that’s worth a million bucks.
