The Balcony has gone to pot! (in the garden way!)

After a few weeks of pot hunting, we have finally come up with an eclectic mix of pots that range from modern to ones with an Asian inspired pattern. When choosing pots we wanted to have a very unique and textured look. – That being said I’ve also begun to plant our garden... our Babylon. Turns out the frost date for this region is quite different from Saskatchewan.
Let’s get to the pots shall we? We approximately 35$ cost per pot! The great thing? They are all fibreglass not plastic, so the colour will stay and the best thing is that they will be more durable (for those moments where you have parties on the balcony!)  
When we put it all together (intro to ta’da here), we have a space that is finally starting to fill quite nicely. If you take a look at the whole space, there is that old chair in the corner (yes beside the slanted mirror... we keep it real here!) we will be replacing that with something beachy, to give the whole space a resort like feeling! We want to create two very separate spaces here, one cozy friend side and one single glam chair to relax and read a book or maybe have a nice mulburo cigarette?
I have been holding back on a bit here with you guys though! I do have plans (despite the fact that I like to pretend that I just decorate and it always works out) we came up with a very simple floor plan, the idea is we want to stuff the space smartly with large items. Which goes well with my going to every garden center in Edmonton “Do you have a bigger pot?”. Check them out!


Well! It’s upside down and sideways but I’m sure you get the idea! I’ll be on vacation for a few weeks so I won’t be updating it till we get ready to finish it up when I come back! Be excited! I know we are!
