This Spring we’ve been working on making our balcony into an extension of our living room as it’s connected by GIANT sliding doors. So the moment it warmed up we’ve been opening the door and letting the rooms flow as one. And in a 620 sf apartment, it makes a huge spacial impact! I’d been ogling this side table on Pinterest and had a feeling we could make one for our balcony out of a pressure treated (outdoor grade) heavy timber so I recruited Ken to help me make it happen and I LOVE the way it turned out.

With summer so close we can almost taste it, I want to get our patio furnished so that we can enjoy it to the max all season long. I think our 620 sf apartment will really feel the spacial boost, once the 70 sf patio is ready to go! One of the schemes I came up with is inspired by the vibrant, summery color and mid-century charm of Palm Springs. Would it not be fun to hang out here this summer? Here are the sources for this look. Does anyone have a favorite outdoor furniture source? Please share! 1. Black and White Zigzag Pillow // 2. Black and White Stripe Pillow // 3. Pink Pillow // 4.
