We moved into our apartment at the end of January. And then came snowpocalypse. And we were buried under 30+ inches of snow. It’s finally melted away and it’s finally beginning to feel like spring (or rather summer with the upper 80 degree weather yesterday.) We have a fairly nice balcony with our apartment – we are on the back of the apartment complex and face a nice forest of bamboo from the neighbors behind us. We even have a lovely blooming tree that’s been smelling spring like.

But, of course, that has me wanting to decorate and design the perfect chill balcony for Roswell & I. Here are the befores:

Lovely eh?

Here’s the original inspiration that got my creative juices flowing:

So straight away – off to IKEA. Well, when we got there, all of their furniture (minus the items that we clearly could not afford) was just not comfortable. The one table and chairs set we fell in love with on the website, was just not what we were looking for as someplace to chill. So I’m off in my quest to design the perfect chill space for R and I – I’ll keep you updated as I go.
