Here's what I used for inspiration:
Bridgette Nicole | DIY Enthusiasts | A Mile in Mom's Manolos |
And then I saw this photo on the Ikea website and proceeded to make trips to three different Ikeas!
I really wanted to hang nautical things on the back wall but it's too thick for nails |
I put that crab paper lantern up when I first moved in. It used to be RED stripes! |
I have two plants hanging over the rail. The weather this summer has been all over the place but they are hanging in there (ha) |
The lights are solar powered and definitely my favorite part! |
You can see that I also use my balcony for storage ;) |

Looks good! I dig the rug and the lights the most! Cute space.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I also bought the rug in red and the lights in blue so I may switch it up every few months.
DeleteOh gosh Kate, that looks so cute! Makes me want to relax, sip on some tea and have an awesome conversation!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks! I am hoping to have a party when it cools down and I'll open up my big sliding doors so we can be outside too
DeleteI love it! Everything looks so cute!

Thanks, Lauren!
DeleteLove the rope rug and that cute crab lantern! What a cute little space!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I still have a few things I want to add but it makes me smile to look outside when I get home at night
DeleteLooks great!! I love the rug and the light. I also love the buoys, are those lights?
ReplyDeleteYes, they are solar powered lights. I also have them in blue but I haven't put them up yet.
DeleteSo cute! I love the over the rail pots! What a great way to maximize the space on a balcony. I can't believe you went to three Ikeas! Brave!!
ReplyDeleteI went to one while I was in San Diego for work (I had a morning off) and then two on the drive home. I think I am Ikea'd out now!
DeleteDid you purchase all of these things recently? Or have you been collecting? I NEED to go to Ikea STAT if you got them recently!
ReplyDeleteEarly summer :( It may be worth checking Ikea if you have one nearby though
