extreme patio makeover (the final moving vlog)

[@malujan]

Every time I look at furnished balconies all I can think is "what happens when it rains?". They all look so cute and cozy but if a storm comes the last thing I'd want to do is run to the balcony the get things inside.

[@megdutton7327]

we use tarp covers for our couches etc 😊

[@pyjamabottoms670]

Yeah! Where does it all go too they don't have a shed etc. I'm in the UK though so rain is pretty much guaranteed

[@claireport22]

@@pyjamabottoms670 yes I understand your thought process as I'm also from the UK 😕

[@sophiag612]

@@pyjamabottoms670 everything is rain proof. That’s why it’s outdoor furniture and not just stuff meant for indoors

[@shellylemons]

Here in the south east USA we are prone to tornadoes. So, when there is a possibility of severe weather everything that’s not bolted down gets taken inside. It’s possible that it will be blown to the next county. Yep, it has happened!!

[@Trigillia]

Just a quick note on tree care! You don't want the mulch or dirt to cover the trunk at all because it can cause the area to hold moisture and rot.

[@neelamaulakh]

thank you for this tip

[@snnssabsnba406]

Hi Jenna you've inspired me to pick up knitting again. Im 11 and at the moment and ive made a pair of mittens, a scarf and a hat. Im now currently working on a bag and you've been my inspiration for everything! Whenever i knit i watch ur videos and just knit. Thank you so much, keep doing what your doing! Ilysm💙

[@goblinfolk]

you are 11 and you got back into knitting??? as in you were knitting at 9??? i mean impressive im glad you’re back into it

[@snnssabsnba406]

Ty lol🙂 Yes i was knitting in grade 4. My teacher taught me how to knit and i knitted a scarf and a hat but i got bored of knitting and watching Jennas videos inspired me to pick up knitting again lol😅☺

[@themusicfreak6220]

we are the same age and the only things iv’e made is mushrooms and a really bad strawberry 😭

[@snnssabsnba406]

@The music freak I wanna knit mushrooms but i feel like those would be really hsrd and i would rage quit😭

[@snnssabsnba406]

[@jemreandeau3583]

Omg I’m so impressed and jealous, your view of the city is awesome, the fall colors are beautiful. Love love the deck, it’s another room. So cozy and inviting. You’ll enjoy many hours out there, I can see you knitting on the couch with Benson hiding under a blanket. Happy Thanksgiving, sending love. ❤

[@I_Palaver]

Not a snowball's chance in the desert of ever getting me way up there!

[@brendasnow8255]

Nice to get a glimpse of the city at night. More, please. The balcony looks fantastic. I’d be hugging the inside wall, though.

[@janeschwab1682]

I love the individualism of your style!! Every little thing you put in your apartment is so uniquely you and i can't wait to see it grow with odd little treasures over time :))

[@brandimorrison5897]

Here is a tidbit of info those slat wood dividers you can get hooks that slide on so you can add pots for more planting potential. 😊

[@jennacotton]

That granny square coat is AMAZING 😍

[@acaciabelle1986]

I love the transition of your life. New project, same values. Love watching your pull apart, rebuild! 2024🎉

[@Red_3791]

Ok that granny square jacket 😮 I am now adding that to my list of items to make. And bumping in to the top 😍

[@lindafaught58]

The deck turned out gorgeous! Having a hard time imagining that it could be warm enough to sit out there in the winter (I live in Phoenix, Arizona) and that your new plants will be ok in the cold but I'm sure you know what you are doing. I'm lucky, I can have a garden year round here but, as you said - gardening is HARD WORK! Great job Jen and Tim, I really am so jealous of your beautiful view and fabulous apartment.

[@itsdanielson7406]

This is the most iconic Pinterest aesthetically pleasing patio/deck. I need a green chair like that!!!

[@xingcat]

It's gorgeous! Also, I laughed at the swim goggle eye protection that Tim used (very resourceful!) to drill into the ceiling.

[@charlottejones7341]

I love your new place ,I am scared of high places

[@faeriesmak]

It turned out amazing! You might want to check into wrapping those cedars in burlap for the winter. I am not sure how cold it gets where you are but I know in WI a lot of small trees do better when they are wrapped over winter.

[@jerrycooper655]

Despite my fear of heights, it looks very cozy👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I wish I had a place like this, but...maybe on the first floor😁

[@denisiojoy]

I was waiting for a comment like this! I wouldn't be able to step outside the living room!!!

[@amyking2597]

OMG Jenna! You and Tim did a fantastic job! I love watching everything you create or make. It blows me away by how talented you are. I hope y’all have a wonderful thanksgiving!! See you next time. ❤🦃🍽❤️

[@karenmiller6229]

Your lucky that your hubby appreciates your talent! It turned out beautiful!

[@Camille719]

Sad they broke up.

[@mael2039]

I recently moved and now have a big ish balcony and I put like, a small couch in there, and crammed every possible space with planters for vegetables and fruits. I have the walls covered and then big planter boxes where possible. Nothing better than harvesting your own food, but it does mean sacrificing on cozy balcony space and sometimes that's a bummer. Your lounge area looks so cozy and inviting.

[@mia-knit-girl]

this looks sooo good! it reminds me of that one lofi girl video where she's on her deck/balcony and it looks so cozy, like yours! this space is such a good addition to your flat, like an extra living room

[@shellylemons]

Jenna is just so fun and cute. I love her personality. She is younger than my youngest child but I know she would get along with all four of my kids and their spouses.

[@robbien_doesstuff]

idea for the gardening spot: flowerbulbs, crocuses, daffodils, snowdrops. the are very easy to plant and come back every year. great if your dont have time. no idea if they sell them in canada tho. and the deck looks absolutly amazing, i am obsessed!!!

[@keyzzz04]

Got a video of yours on my recommended a few days ago and now every night I must watch your videos to wind down and comfort😌

[@AsnCanuck]

Love your videos especially when you show yourself going to all the shops. I'm a vancouver native but have been living abroad for 8 years. It's such a homey feelingto see familiar things during the holiday season.

[@paulettepalmer4860]

Love the look of your finished deck at night with the lights! I would want to stay out there even at subzero to temperatures!🥶

[@almageneon1482]

You’ve done perfectly beautiful patio..I love it

[@niteflytes]

It’s going to be Jenna’s jungle when all those trees grow bigger. Love the deck!

[@8Gammie]

I'm watching you decorate and shop and LOVING it. Those back wood screens look amazing behind all the perfect plants you chose. It all came out sooooooo amazing!!! that was a great video! love,hugs,prayers.

[@katiewimmers8613]

Love watching these projects!

[@sashah5382]

I just moved away for university and your vlogs are making me miss Vancouver so much! I love that beautiful city and it will always be my home

[@Mucosamommy]

Sending positive vibes to your trees so that they survive winter!

[@nadiajsilva]

Hi Jenna! From Argentina 😃 love your videos and enthusiasm! 😊

[@JennaPhipps]

Thank you! 😃

[@domestix1]

Rubella Japonica developed the red buds during winter and flower summer.I trim mine one flowered

[@Amacott99]

It’s all absolutely gorgeous…..those views are amazing

[@linaD08]

Jenna, I love the granny square jacket you were wearing when you got the second set of plants. Did you make it? Love your candid videos!!

[@louisejames4759]

I started watching you a while ago - At first I thought you were in America but you are in Vancouver! I live near the beach! Your apartment looks so inviting and the view of the city from your balcony (& your balcony makeover is great!) Plus the mountains in the background look great! Love this city!

[@MiaMultitool]

That's all I need today for inspiration/motivation, thanks Jenna *.*

[@gunermelike]

I always watch your videos with a big smile on my face! patio looks gorg 😍

[@tamvlogs3350]

Love this makeover and love the gardening video vibes, never apologize for more plant content!😄

[@joycepino5346]

Won't those trees grow?

[@nettiesantos4664]

Your so cute. I can so relate to your home depot trip. I live in a tiny house and I want to take home all the plants. I only have an Edward and a bella. Both are ivy's and if I separate them one starts to die. I love that you named your trees

[@atomicalice0]

It’s so cozy!! What a perfect spot to watch the sunset

[@Eskimew]

little pots that have clips on them would look great clipped onto the privacy planter, opposite the cedar trees!!!

[@chalseydebaere626]

Just a Nebraskan here to compliment your NE sweatshirt

[@nyxcordell6112]

you could hang planters from the divider on the bare end :)

[@rhondar.]

This is a great vlog! The balcony looks so inviting. I like that it is covered too! I so want to see the balcony in the summer. Thanks for always inspiring all of us with ideas.

[@gabriiii]

I just wanted to say I love your videos❤ and I don't want to freak you out or anything but it's easy to find somebody's exact location by using landmarks. it's a gorgeous view but maybe blur it or keep it out of frame to avoid stalkers. Stay safe!

[@Midnightpigeon666]

Fantastic job on your balcony area! 🌲 🎉 enjoy it looks so romantic at night with all the lights on 😊

[@brinagotsued]

Great design, it really looks amazing.

[@Pltlsn97]

Loved seeing the Bosco verticale as a reference! Hello from Milan

[@bostonbound2323]

so I was the girly with trees on the deck. Very nice big potted trees that we bought with my apt. As nice as they look, potted trees are on a whole different league than when they are on the ground. I had a tree and 2 pine trees and they all died after a year. Completely my fault but it's so hard to keep up their watering needs. I have a green thumb and have many happy indoor plants so 🙅‍♀

[@nataliafigueroa2660]

The deck is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!! Love it!!!

[@denverdubois5835]

That's an amazingly huge patio. I think I would've had to put mesh up between the top of the railing and the underside of the patio above, just so I could feel safer re: pets...and myself as well, tbh. Scared of heights. Great view, though. How to make a patio like that cozy? Colors. Big cushions. Rugs. Trees. String lights. But most of all....flowers. Those partitions would be perfect homes for trellises, along which I'd put not cedar trees, but flowering vines! Cedar trees have immense water needs (carrying water across that couch everytime? NO.) Flowering vines like jasmine, columbine and morning glory would be gorgeous though, and even in the winter the trailing greenery would be nice. Oh and also, I think a potted flowering rose or two would be nice as well, and a couple of pots of annuals. I hope you picked trees which are ornamental in size, lol. Otherwise you're gonna have to move 'em out at some point....

[@dkalisd]

I'm jealous!! Wish that I could have a patio at my home! Such a cozy place!

[@ladeanlombardi8638]

So pretty!! You did a great job !! I would love to sit out there & look at your view!!!

[@LaMaiCreateStyle]

The deck came out amazing❗️I hope to plant cedar trees next spring to add a privacy wall too. I love using outdoor lights all yesr round

[@heatherfitzgerald329]

I love what you've done Enjoy that space as much as you can 😉

[@cheryllynnalston-morton9512]

The patio looks FABULOUS!!!

[@peachybeatle3722]

I approve the nebraska sweater

[@vickipatridge5094]

Patio looks really great.

[@shirleycarter2451]

Those cedar trees look amazing, remember in the summer time or heat they are very thirsty plants. Come the wet weather have you anywhere to store the soft furnishings for your outdoor space as can get moldy...🤔 sorry just being a bit mum'sie.😅🤣😉😉

[@jennysmith-dack1963]

Oh my goodness every time you go near your patio wall my feet get so sore. I hate hights😁. Lovely patio it turned out so inviting if you can handle heights😅

[@rubyyesenia9255]

Your patio is such a dream!

[@carenlasrado4938]

I love ur videos by watching ur videos I made a crochet bag ❤❤❤❤❤

[@maya-gur695]

The patio is very you. I love that it's so colorful.

[@norah.joanne]

I'm so happy I found you, you make my life complete:)

[@cheryllynnalston-morton9512]

Benson looks adorable!!!☺

[@Ariel-kz1gf]

I love ur humor❤

[@BobbieesWorld]

You guys did a great job!! The tree shopping was informative. Love you!

[@amyholman354]

Trees are heavy. Did you check with the landlord about the weight on the patio terrace? Asking for safety. It looks fantastic and cozy. A lovely place to relax and entertain.

[@abbrakadabraalakazam]

I immediately thought of measles, mumps, and rubella when you said the name of that shrub lol.

[@wanderingforester]

Plant climber plants on the other partition planter like money plant, ivy etc...in the future it will turn to be a green wall ....or even a climber rose....

[@catehughesss_]

makeover looks sooo good!! also lol I had almost bought that green chair myself, but it looks super cute in your space!

[@57waterlily]

Your patio looks so cozy!

[@agnieszkasmetek]

When you were buying all of this things, I didn't think it's a good idea, but in the end I am surprised how everything matches so perfectly! It's such a beautiful, cozy space to relax right now. PS Bensy made my day as always:)

[@priyankanayak8638]

Looks so beautiful 😍 and mesmerizing.Grwat work.

[@hafsah4775]

woo I'm early!! really excited to see the full makeover, it's gonna be amazing!! ♥

[@kissarniandbeyond]

So cozy, Jenna!!! Love it.

[@emmy8526]

I was going to tease you for getting so many items that you were going to have to haul back down one day, but honestly that looks very cute, practical and not too cluttered. Love the matching pastel green. I wonder if your neighbours are peeved about seeing the wood through their frosted glass, though! Also, any weight guidelines for balconies like this?

[@neelamaulakh]

that is a great question! i have never thought of a balcony potentially having a weight restriction because i have sadly never lived in a place with a balcony

[@NancyleeHeARTsareUS]

That cute matching side table is for your #cocktails & #mocktails🍸#heartsareus

[@merrybeth627]

Felt queasy every time you were on the balcony, so not best video for me. I could never live there especially with the glass railing. I’d feel as if I was going to fall through all the time 😳. Still enjoyed your endless enthusiasm Jenna 🙂. 🎄💜🎄

[@bethhaz9844]

Another moving vlog, what a treat! The makeover looks sooo good and wow that view 😍

[@soulieobelissevan]

Awww you guys worked brilliantly on this!! xoxoxo

[@Vals-2013]

Yes cedar trees needs lots of water

[@jackiedavies4950]

Your patio looks beautiful x hi to Benson x

[@mustang193]

To be honest, I click for the title and thumbnail, but I stay for the Benson content 💛

[@DeeManson]

Omg I love your shirt! 😍🥰

[@maryegerton6848]

Beautiful! Well done!❤

[@laura6796]

It looks beautiful!!

[@dianeky617]

Beautiful work on the patio. It’s going to look amazing. I have to ask, is there a video for the fabulous granny square jacket you had in? It’s so pretty & colorful.

[@vernieplummer5148]

Now you need to get some little scissors and trim up those topiaries. I always wanted some of those. I think it would feel like having a bonsai tree lol.

[@nniffa393]

It looks so good that i would probably be able to sit out there for a good 5 minutes before my fear of heights took over. That's a lot for me!

[@patriciasiefert7140]

I so enjoy your videos!

[@thespottedlily]

This is super cute! I'm so jealous! :) Enjoy!

[@hankcunnington2455]

you should make more gardening videos actually I would love that

[@violetstuff7602]

Your hair looks so beautiful!

[@rachelwilson1904]

The way I click this video so quickly 😂😂. I love your content so much 🤍

[@miriamfernandez238]

you NEED to get that yellow one and then a redish one
