Balcony Makeover

My husband and I live in a small one bedroom apartment. It's a great place as far as apartments go but making it feel like home has been quite a challenge. Here's our newly made-over balcony that offers us a real place to put our feet up and relax. We spent a little under $400 for this makeover and all supplies used (paint, nails etc) were things I already had.

After

I love these chairs! SO comfy! These are from the 2009 Smith & Hawken Marlton Series from Target.

I got this candelier years ago when I worked for Pier 1 Imports. I never had a place to put it until now!

Here's the urn from Value Village I painted a few weeks ago.

I bought the table from a Craigslist seller for $20. The curtains are actually tablecloths from our wedding, my mom and I hemmed them up a bit and I hung them up with clip rings. The candle lanterns were from Khol's and with coupons, I got both of these for $9 total! The seagrass basket was a garage sale find for a whopping $1.00 and all the other accessories were from around my home.
