Balcony Dreams
Tuesday, May 10, 2011
One of the best parts about my apartment is that it has a perfect little balcony looking over a grassy area outside of my apartment. The problem is, we almost never use it. Now that it is getting warmer I want to spice it up and use it more! Here are some things I know would motivate us to spend more time outside.

I pretty much love anything that hangs from a balcony - lanterns, candles, flowers etc. These all look great!
You are lucky Julie! A balcony I would love one for plants, flowers, candles. Everything looks good for a stylish balcony!
Looks like you've got the right essentials to make it glorious!!
Love the mercury glass laterns.
That patio set is adorable!! Ikea has a great line of outdoor pieces right now.
Love the boxwood for the balcony...great idea! The mercury glass is beautiful too!
i'm dying to start a little herb garden box. these pictures are lovely!!
I have a wonderful back porch that is covered and it is by FAR my favorite room in my house! I love to sit out there with my doggie and a book!
those glass lanterns are uh-mazing - and so is that patio set - bright red would be so cute!
Yes, that C&B patio set would motivate me alright! I hate our balcony in this apartment. It looks directly at a brick wall, gets hardly any sunlight and is so open to the other 18 apartments in this building that it's not much fun to be out there. It's sad. I went out this morning to drink my coffee and write my blog post, but it smelled like tar, and there was so much noise :( I'm a debbie downer, wow.
However, we just put an offer in on a house that has a terrific backyard and a screened in patio area!
LOVE the succulents! xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
oh those manicured hedges are great - turn your balcony into a royal garden! love!
How lovely... every single one of those ideas are perfection.
I'm visiting from Life of Meg mingling-ness.
Oh yes Julie!
adore the boxwood topiaries~
Here's to a wonderful warmer season*
I love that little green table
I love that patio set! I've always dreamt of boxwoods too.
What an adorable patio set! I'd love a little balcony, although I've also enjoyed the roof "deck" a former roommate and I re-purposed!
