Yes I do feel lucky, especially after living in a shoebox of a New York apartment for 4 years. :) Now just to furnish it…

Yes you are so lucky to have a balcony! You really need to take advantage of it. :)

Oh, I’m loving these tips! And I hadn’t thought about jasmine, but that’s definitely the right flowering plant for us; it’s our favorite scent. Thank you for the tips! These are great.

Thank you! I hadn’t thought about the balcony much, but now that it’s getting really warm, it seems too nice not to use it. I love the stacked placement too, but I’m thinking the dog will definitely eat it all when he goes out there. I’ll think about it. Thanks for reading :)

Thanks! I’m leaning towards thrifted planters, but I’m a little worried about a stacked setup because of our dog who will definitely eat the plant (and the pot) if given the opportunity! Good to know you’re going through the same design musings, too :)

Cilantro is pretty tough to grow. Usually you’ll get one harvest then it will “bolt” aka grow flowers and die. Basil is easy and so is parsley. They can be grown together in the same pot! Maybe consider a jasmine plant…..fragrant, pretty flowers and can climb the railing. Also, you can always hide a cheapie plastic planter container inside a more beautiful vessel. SD rules!

I love that you’re so dedicated to using your balcony! And that you’re putting so much thought into making it nice. We also picked San Diego as our home because of the weather but sadly I do not use my balcony. The cat is out there everyday though, so I guess that’s something! :)
I really like the stacked placement of plants and the idea of having a rug out there. So pretty! :)

what a fun collage! I definitely love the thrifted and stacked images.

We just moved into our new place and I’m still trying to figure out how to furnish and decorate our tiny home with the same questions you’re asking. It’s definitely fun to go through this entire process nonetheless. :)
