My Balcony Reveal!

My balcony is definitely still a work in progress. You'll see below that some of my plants are still in their temporary homes while I figure out what will grow best. Plus I ended up putting my strawberries in a planter that I am going to have to move because they are almost too tall for their current spot!

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 ;)
