Nice! Hey Sharla, I had an idea to level out the dip in the flooring when it goes into the water drain/canal. Did you throw away the surplus planks that you trimmed off the pieces? Maybe you can use those to put underneath the last bit of the flooring, right in the water drain. I think it's just about deep enough for what I can see in the video. If not, maybe you can separate the plastic from the wood and put either one of those (whichever fits better under the tilted flooring). Hope that can help! It would make the balcony feel a bit bigger AND help with leveling out the chairs of other furniture that you might place there!

One caution about the pebbles is that exposed to the weather they (and the wooden slats) will get pretty grimy. It will require some labour to keep that up. Given that it's not highly visible, I'd go with trimming the wood as it's easier to hose down in your bathroom and prop against the wall to dry. I had pebbles as a dry river in an enclosed balcony area with a granite lantern and Buddha. Even dry they had to be cleaned at least once a year to deal with the dust and cobwebs. Wet would have been awful as mould and algae grow rapidly.

You could always buy a snake plant! I love mine - it only needs to be watered once a month and it's fantastic for improving air quality. You could keep it outside too, so you wouldn't have to worry about your cats eating it. For me, I just can't with fake plants - they feel so depressing. Like one more artificial thing in the home... genuine wood, stone, and other natural materials just make a place feel so much more welcoming I think. Love your new balcony though! I'm going to do the same - I already ordered my runnen tiles too!

You've just proven that a little effort went a long way toward making a VERY small space multifunctional and visually appealing. Beautifully done. What are the rules regarding the use of small tabletop Hibachi grills on the patios? There was a video on the Life Where I'm From's channel where he was invited to a family's house for a meal with charcoal grilled food. He mentioned that there were smell ordinances in his community, so outdoor grilling was not easy to do. I could see you and a friend or a visiting family member sitting on the patio happily chatting while grilling your food of choice. The recipes for grilled vegetables and fruit kababs are many. I loved my Hibachi when I lived in Atlanta.

I have a suggestion😊 On the patio ends where concrete shows...fill that space in with plants. It would look like a border. As cute as your rose plant is, I see it more on the back of a toilet and a larger plant with more height on your table🤔 Love that floor👍

I think barstools would work. Then you could get a small table that attaches to the railing/wall either via screws of by slotting it over top the edge; then you have a view and less floor space consumed by furniture.

This reminds me of that Swedish tourism board campaign - it was called The Swedish Number and if you called it, you would be connected to a random Swedish volunteer, to talk about anything. It apparently ran for a whole year, around 2016 :)

Looks very nice the balcony! Also love the central piece in your living room: Elon Mush smoking a joint. For the balcony: You could consider re-using the left-over wooden pieces from cutting the tiles to size as filler in the gutter. You may get rid of the slope the tiles give that way. Unsure if it will be stable though but it may be worth a shot. Also, maybe you could hang some plant from the drain pipe! May look cute :)

Mary, I lived there for a year and went back to see my fiancee two times. Although expensive, opening a savings account and or stow some money away every month or week, every paycheck, tax return etc. will lead you to your goal. And then next thing you know... You will have saved enough to go and have a blast! Have a projected goal and always go past so that you can have some room for souvenirs etc. And all kinds of stuff you wanna bring home!

Awesome video! We did the same thing for our balcony floor and it was amazing at first. I remember reading that it was recommended to store the tiles when it gets cold because the wood will warp and the plastic will start to crack. The wood will also lose its luster after awhile so look into staining or a polish for the type of wood that is. We didn't take this advice and the tiles are all warped and scratchy looking.
