Plus, I'm taking my inspo from an Italian cafe, so I'm recreating an Italian bistro on my balcony.

Mars looks so happy on his balcony chair! Great job. I especially like the night time ambiance.

[@HomeByMon]

He is so happy, he doesn't want to come inside now 🤣

[@anaa.6619]

Also what I love most about your videos is seeing all the different ways you repurpose items and bring old furniture back to life! Always amazed by your creativity🙌

[@HomeByMon]

Awww thank you so much Ana 🥹💕🫶

[@user-jo6zo6ju9b]

It's so satisfying seeing how clean the tiles were after the pressure washing. Mars looks like he approves of his new balcony😅

[@HomeByMon]

Yes!! It's so satisfying 🥰

[@Misile101]

I absolutely LOVE that first set of chairs!

[@jwal3717]

This is my favorite video yet! I have a small Jacoby as well and have “over complicated” it. Your relaxing, simple and easy redo are quite the inspiration! Doable, easy, and not expensive! Thank you for helping me find the balcony I’ve always wanted!!!😅

[@HomeByMon]

Aww I'm so glad you think so 🥹🫶 Happy to hear you like everything 💞

[@raeleohana8797]

what a great makeover and so simply and affordably done.

[@HomeByMon]

Thank you so much 🥰 So glad you like it!

[@CC-95-]

Mars got the best place 🐶❤️

[@HomeByMon]

I know 🤣💕

[@ID-or2py]

I notice the quality of your lighting when you're narrating is on point! Keep up the great videos!

[@HomeByMon]

Aww thank you so much 🥰

[@bluecurlygirl]

Great job and how lucky are you to have such a beautiful model for the armchair too. Looks really pretty at night too. Well done.

[@HomeByMon]

Thank you so much 🥰 Yes I have the best model 💖

[@okidokiokido]

Mars seems to approve the makeover 😄

[@HomeByMon]

Oh yes he does 🥰

[@janeb3024]

Great thrifted chairs!

[@HomeByMon]

So glad you like them 🥰

[@Jiesta1256]

Very nicely done!! It became a very cosy balcony! Love the chairs!! Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@HomeByMon]

So glad you like it 🥰

[@mateamanasievska6988]

You did such a great job! It looks so clean and neat, and those vibes at night! Loooove it 🎉❤

[@HomeByMon]

Awww thanks girl 🥹✨🫶 So glad you like it!!

[@jag2002]

Love the balcony makeover! I have a small deck situation and I have 2 rattan chairs, black round metal table, and pillows/throw all from Ikea. My mat is an outdoor type so easy to sweep or hose off. My rattan chairs are aging a bit but still ok. I like that Ikea still has rattan options though, they no longer sell the chairs I have. Also, totally down with the power wash. So satisfying. So happy Mars has his own chair, as it should be. Heading to Ikea tomorrow and always check your videos before I head over. Thank you for all that you do.

[@HomeByMon]

I'm so glad you like my videos and find them helpful 🥹🫶

[@lovealwaysmom]

I like the vibes. Mars seems pleased. Regarding the recycling ♻️ center. The fabric dye might bleed onto your patio. Also, the holes for the zip ties will rip. Using metal grommets would strengthen the support. Another option would be 3M claw hooks.

[@HomeByMon]

Yes, great points. I will test everything and if something doesn't hold up I will redo it for sure 🥰

[@judithlauron2856]

Well done❗️LESS IS MORE….and easier to clean…..MARS said he is quite pleased.🦋🐝🐛🦎

[@HomeByMon]

Yes! Thank you 🥰

[@jackiedecoma4637]

Mars approved 👍

[@wendymorton1999]

The beauty is in the simplicity 💕💕💕

[@HomeByMon]

Yes!! 🥰

[@xflyer87]

This is so cute. I think I’m buying that table.

[@HomeByMon]

The table is so cute 🥰

[@nicolestewart]

I just moved to a smaller apartment and had to throw out most of my stuff including furniture. I’m trying to do a Bali theme and seing your makeover has inspired me. I didn’t k ow which balcony privacy screen too choose. I hope you don’t mind if I get a similar one to you 😊❤ also I love your vase. It’s cute

[@HomeByMon]

Of course I don't mind, I would love it if my ideas help you 🥰💕

[@molivarez9006]

Enjoyed the video, great refresh! Love the simplicity and vibe. 🙂

[@HomeByMon]

So glad to hear that 🥰

[@shirleyburnham2782]

Amazing job Mon, this is balcony goals!😍😍😍 I gasped at the reveal at the end, it looks soo beautiful at night!😍

[@HomeByMon]

[@matijamosunic7853]

Great job with the balcony! It looks like it's very easy to clean when the oak tree does its thing. 😍

[@HomeByMon]

It will be so much easier for me now 🥰

[@izzafareeziman]

Great job Mon! Lovely idea😍love it! Hugs Mars🤗

[@HomeByMon]

So happy to hear you like it 🥰

[@eileentaylor787]

Its lovely Nom! Well done as always ❤ Think Mars love's his chair x

[@HomeByMon]

Mars adores the chair 🥰 He wouldn't come inside at all

[@alicenieto3162]

Very very pretty. ❤

[@HomeByMon]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@irisl7817]

The makeover looks nice. I can't help but prefer the look of the bench from before, but maybe styled in a different way. The cushions in those pretty chairs look like an after thought. That Mars approved chair and the rug are my two favorite pieces!

[@HomeByMon]

So glad you like the chair and the rug 🥰 It was nice before too, but it was just not working for our lifestyle

[@brianfarrelly415]

That turned out gorgeous love it

[@HomeByMon]

Glad you like it 🥰

[@melistudio3653]

Superb job! Very harmonious and minimalistic🙂

[@HomeByMon]

So glad you like it 🥰

[@IvorysDIY]

Perfect Mon! the balcony is beautiful!!

[@HomeByMon]

So glad you like it 🥰

[@sharetac9296]

Thank you

[@ivonakochovska2968]

Wow it turned out perfect! Well done! Love it! 😍

[@HomeByMon]

Awww so glad you like it 🥹🫶

[@coffeeNlemoncheesecake]

Hang the throw on the arm on the left side by the glass sliding door.

[@gwendolina4491]

for Mars! The olive tree is going to die if its buried so deep in the ground. The bark cant touch the soil otherwise it will rot in a year or two. You have to plant it exactly at the same level as it was growing before. The balcony turned out great!

[@HomeByMon]

Oh I didn't know that 😞 Thanks for sharing! I will try to do a better job replanting it and getting it a bit higher ☺️

[@cherylk8781]

Besutiful!😍

[@HomeByMon]

🥰💕

[@melistudio3653]

Mars 🥰🥰🥰

[@kristinakarakabakova4724]

Најсимпатичната тераса што сум ја видела досега. Одлично осмислено.

[@HomeByMon]

Многу ми е мило што ти се допаѓа 🥰💕

[@laraangel6862]

Davvero delizioso.. ho lo stesso tavolino sul mio balcone qui in Toscana, Italia ❤ ed il mio gatto nella sua cesta a lato ❤

[@HomeByMon]

🥹💕💕💕

[@heidilorenz5364]

After cleaning the tiles looked awesome! So cozy in the evening with the lights! Well done and even Mars loves it!😂

[@HomeByMon]

Yes! Mars loves it indeed 🥰

[@joanns7007]

Mars definitely understood the assignment lol

[@HomeByMon]

Hahaha 🤣

[@beejereeno2]

Didn't understand what the purpose of the cable ties, on the small side table. They don't seem to do anything.

[@HomeByMon]

It kept it in place until the glue dried out. They actually prevented it from sliding down 😅

[@darioaricar1593]

Es muy soso. Faltan plantas😊

[@Leetje65]

I have the same rug for my balcony.

[@HomeByMon]

It's so good!!

[@LauraT925]

Power washing is the best!

[@HomeByMon]

I agree 💯🥰

[@metodijabunteski7038]

Slaying as always Mon! How long did it take you to complete the makeover?

[@HomeByMon]

Awww thank you 🥰🫶 It took me 2 days total 👌

[@georgemaxwell4984]

Some more plants would be nice.

[@HomeByMon]

I know, but every single plant I've had on this balcony has died on me. It's all my fault because I forget them all the time 😞 So I decided to dedicate my attention to only one big tree, instead of being overwhelmed by several smaller 🙃

[@ok-ro6jo]

Where did you buy the candle?

[@bravejay02]

Did Mars just turn into a human being 🫢

[@HomeByMon]

Mhmmm 🤣💕

[@Nesta-mw4uy]

Vil du ha favoritter fra Jysk-video?

[@HomeByMon]

Love Jysk!!!

[@Angel-Rae]

I’ve been enjoying your videos, but just to let you know, the English phrase you are looking for is extra seating not extra sitting.

[@HomeByMon]

Oh yes!! Seating 👌💕

[@hazel1960]

Not that impressive rug to small you could of done so much more

[@HomeByMon]

I agree 👍 maybe I'll swap it for a larger one. We'll see
