We are heading into a long weekend here in The States, Memorial Day weekend. Although Summer officially begins on June 20th, Memorial Day weekend always feels like the kick off to the season. No turning back weather wise in terms of cold fronts (or so we can hope).
So whether your are on a sprawling lawn or a Juliet balcony, I wish you some fun in the sun this weekend.
3. Just as with your interiors, don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns or to add character with unexpected touches

4. Even a Juliet balcony can become a little piece of outdoor heaven with the help of some warm textiles and some of your smaller indoor furnishings

Oh how I would love a balcony like these ones. So pretty! My apartment does not have a blacony….just a patch of grass on the main floor lever (I’m on the second floor). I miss having direct access to the outdoors!

This is gorgeous, and I would love to have a veranda in my condo someday! The hale bob tunic you see in today’s post is 100% silk 🙂
Niki says
Lovely! I could enjoy a morning coffee on anyone of these. How soft does that sheepskin rug look?! Have a great weekend!

I love a nice cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening, enjoying the view off the deck/balcony. You’ve shown that even the smallest of them can be transformed into stylish and welcoming spaces.

I love these balconies and that West Elm rug. I wish it was larger but it’s such a great pattern.
Hope you are having a great holiday.

If only I didn’t have to strap down everything on my balcony or it would blow away! Those textiles are beautiful.
