Since then, I've toned them down somewhat by purchasing stripey blue-and-beige foam cushions as well. The cushions also make the chairs much more comfortable to sit in while enjoying coffee and a book.
I set up my balcony last week for 2020 summertime use. Now I have a whole extra room to enjoy self-isolating in, plus fresh air!
The cushions look good and I bet you will get a lot of use out of the balcony now! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHello Debra, Your balcony looks so bright and cheerful. My balcony is the only place that I can put my washer and dryer, so no decorative uses for me.
ReplyDelete--Jim
looks inviting; pour me a cuppa, I'll bring my knitting.
ReplyDeleteA balcony is awesome! Especially now that we're sheltering in place.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the cushions. They should make the chairs more comfy. I think having a place to read is essential in every house.
XOXO
What a great spot fora coffee and a view and a book. Love it.
ReplyDeleteNice outdoor space! Ours was glassed in when the building was built, I often wish it was open.
ReplyDeleteIt looks comfortable. I have not used my balcony in years. The furniture is rusted and old. I should get some new pieces and sit outside.
ReplyDeleteI love the bright blue, but yes to cushions because 'older' butts. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Enjoy :) Love, cat.
ReplyDeleteWow, you're high up. Well, nobody's getting within six feet of you up there!
ReplyDeleteSome good information in that earlier balcony post. I wonder if that holographic tape works on bugs. We don't seem to have pigeons where I live, though they're abundant downtown.
I have a couple of chairs very similar to those, dark green though. They kind of need the cushions.
I do remember those!!!! And I still love them.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, any space with fresh air at the moment has added value.
ReplyDeleteI, sadly, had not yet discovered your blog in '17, so I had to go look ~ you've done wonders with it!! I love the blue, and those cushions do look comfy. Great place for a glass of wine!
ReplyDeleteOh very nice! Bright and colorful. Looks like a nice place to sit and breathe.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. When I was single I had an apartment with a nice balcony. I had two nice pink lounging chairs and a table. I used to make a pitcher to margaritas on Sunday and sit outside drinking in the shade. Good times.
ReplyDeleteIs the cat allowed on the balcony? We once took our single story dog to a vacation home with a 2nd story deck. She saw a squirrel and took a flying leap down to the ground. I was surprised she didn't break her dang neck.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty room it is too!
ReplyDeleteThe cushions make the room.. or umm balcony. I'm surprised, for some reason I pictured you in a cosy little house in a friendly neighborhood somewhere.
ReplyDeleteThose cushions really add a pop of color without overdoing it. Not to mention they look so much more comfortable now. :)
ReplyDeleteI completely understand. My terrace has become my outside sanctuary.
ReplyDeleteCan I invite myself for a cup or glass (wearing a mask of course) even though it's a long way from Yorkshire to Alberta. Essential travel. Regarding the mask, which would you prefer, Batman, Mickey Mouse or Lone Ranger?
ReplyDeleteThe balcony is a lifesaver at a time like this. Fresh air and sunshine at a safe social distance. Yours is beautiful too so enjoy your time outside!
ReplyDeleteI love the look. So inviting. Glad you can enjoy it now!
ReplyDeleteI still love your balcony! The addition of the cushions is a grand choice. They look snazzy and I'm sure they increase the comfort of the chairs.
ReplyDeleteIn these crazy times it's a luxury to have private outdoor space. I'm glad you've got yours!
You look like your high, but not too high. If there's a fire, how good are you at repelling down the side of the building? Here's where you get the equipment.

Why did I always picture yours as a country cabin surrounded by trees?
ReplyDeleteit is a lovely place for you to sit and enjoy the fresh air with some warm sunny weather. Hope you have plenty of good books to read and a large pot of coffee.
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteThose chairs are a beautiful shade of blue. It's almost a shame to cover them with cushions.
I guess I don't have an eidetic memory, Debra. I actually went back and looked at your previous blog, even finding my comment on it ~ oops! I used to tell my kiddos at school that I forgot things because my brain was so crammed with stuff that every time I learned something new, something old was pushed out. They never bought it ~ LOL Your new cushions are a big improvement. My grandfather MacDonald was a carpenter and built a number of these chairs. They were always so hard to sit on. Puffy cushions would have been a big improvement! I love your "fake" theme. That works best for me too. Do you still have your cement bunny? All the best to you and Your Rare One!
ReplyDeleteNice furniture. We don't have a balcony, but we have a garden, thankfully.
ReplyDeleteYay the beautiful balcony and spring time breezes.
ReplyDeleteSure is pretty color of blue
ReplyDeleteI love this space you have. I would be there all the time. I love spaces like this.
ReplyDeleteLook what isolation did for you. Gave you a whole new perspective on those butt ugly chairs. YIKES. That is the first chairs that get hit when a sniper in in the neighborhood. They are horrid. They scream...look at me. I am going to jump.
ReplyDeleteThe cushions look great and they really add warmth to the chairs! Your balcony is very pretty! This brings back memories of my mom’s retro turquoise leather chairs from the late 50s/early 60s. I really wish I held onto them, but I didn’t have enough storage space.
ReplyDeleteJulie
Nice chairs
ReplyDeleteIs it warm enough yet to sit outside way up north there? I tried it here yesterday, and damn near froze. lol
ReplyDeleteA lovely and cozy spot. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI remember when you bought them..my granddaughter has a set just like them..need to tell her about getting cushions for them
ReplyDeleteoh i loved your blue chairs dear Debra :)
ReplyDeleteand the choice of cushion is stunning ,i would have choose same if i could :)
balcony is truly important place in flats or apartments like this ,enjoying the view while sipping your coffee refreshes brain for sure
Beautiful Deb! Love the cushions! Nice view! Enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteAre you plants fake?? They don't look like they have grown much? LOL!
ReplyDelete@ Magic Love Crow -- Yes, they are all quite, quite fake!
ReplyDeleteThe aqua is beautiful. Blue is usually my favorite color for decorating. My deck is falling apart, but Carol and I still manage to sit outside to read. We won't be able to do so much longer because the mosquitoes have started attacking us.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Great cushion choice! I am sure you will get extra use of your outdoor furniture this year with the lack of places and things to do away from home. We bought furniture for our front porch last month and it has already seen tons of use!
ReplyDeleteI remember those chairs..Hard to believe it was that long ago...The cushions look great and I'm sure they make the sitting easier...Enjoy
ReplyDeleteI love the blue! It is one of my favorite tones - or is that hue?
ReplyDeleteA great spot to spend some time!!
