I love the side table you made and the little blue table and the wooden separator piece you used in the gap between to balconies. So creative ❤ 👌

Such a super transformation of the dull space. Also so happy to see you transforming the space so elegantly without male help. I an very impressed.

Your ability to pivot & rework ideas is amazing!

Thank you, Isabel!! Now you've inspired me to start working on my tiny front door area. You've demonstrated that there is always a way to make a space better.

[jovicrazed]

That is a really big difference. You are so creative and I love what you did with the opening between the to balconies. I have absolutely no carpentry skills so would never be able t do something like this.

[melekkoyuturkyildirim]

Woww what a beautiful change. You can arrange everything very clever. And the colors and covers of the tables are amazing. I like that circle wood on the opening. Finally the carpet gives the balcony a persian look which is very chic and imperial. I'm very impressed

[rebeccatreeseed]

That table is wonderful. In the down position, it is well protected from sun and water, too.

[kirigwi]

So easy, yet so enchanting at the end.
