I was shocked when I read the comments about the flower wall. I absolutely loved the flower wall. It looks like something Anthropologie would do in a window display and brought really great color to the space. It was so creative and beautiful. Wow! 🌸🌹🌼🌺💐🌻🌷
I loved the outdoor light with the battery operated lightbulb...genius!...but I probably wouldn't have spent 80 dollars on it if I was planning on cutting the cord.
I know im randomly asking but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Fernando Chase Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Hmm $350 is a lot considering she already had the outdoor couch and the skinny wooden bench. I loved the idea of the pendant light HOWEVER when you buy an $80 light just to destroy it it seems very impractical?? Just a tip for everyone who loved the pendant light idea, thrift a lamp shade or old hanging light instead of destroying an expensive new one.
There are so many ways to make such a pendant light more cheaper then in this video, but the idea on his own is still amazing for any place without electrical... 👍!!!!
YES! Love your idea! Personally, I’d love to see less IKEA in every video & more thrifting or discount stores like Ross, Homegoods, Walmart, etc. Some variety would be nice.
Yes! Thats what I was thinking. Another thing are solar pendant lights from anywhere especially rn at IKEA they have beautiful solar powered lanterns for $8 to $20
My favorite part is definitely that light bulb; I had no idea that kind of thing existed! Though two things I'd like to see in future videos: budget friendly and/or DIY outdoor art that's rain and wind safe, and budget friendly and/or DIY outdoor furniture! Both get pricy very quickly, and this makeover was much less expensive since she already had the furniture, and the art is so fragile. Thanks for making such great content! 🌺
Just now finding your channel and omg!!! I've been on a string of, like, 5 in a row at this point and you're really making me, a busy college student, want to suddenly jump 5 years ahead to having a little renter house and a more permanent space where I can make something my own for once!! Wow! You're truly so inspiring and you talk with so much passion in what you do. It's refreshing to see someone so into their craft, and I definitely need to jump that 5 years right now so I can utilize all your ideas!!!
Usually when I watch decorating shows I always figure that I won’t be able to find the exact same stuff because it’s from American stores, but as a fellow Torontonian, it’s great to see some Canadian options! Love the pendant light, what a great idea! Our balcony dividers are metal so I think utilizing something magnetic there could also work! Beautiful job!
Good idea, if there's some steel in the metal. Check first that a magnet will stick to the metal. Sometimes they're aluminium and magnets won't hold to that.
I have been watching these videos a lot lately, and now im inspired for having a career in interior decorating. Thank you for making these videos, because this is something that you can work hard on and have a good time doing. something that can also be therapeutic. The environment around anyone is more important than some may think.
You did a great job here. This place was barren and you brought so much life to it. Love the flooring and the rug. Love her couch and the coffee table and the color and texture the pillows add. Love the flower wall. Love the planters and the faux cactus. Love the ladder with the pots and if I changed anything, I'd just add more plants there. Love the bench and ladder having coordinated painted legs. Love that you gave her a light so she can read or entertain comfortably at night. Home run on this one.
I didn't think you could do much with it when you first introduced the space but wow, I'm so surprised! You really maximized the space. It's gorgeous! Great job!
Hi Alexandra, I have recently started following your channel and I am from India. I just love love love your style and room makeovers. We live in really small spaces and watching your videos are so encouraging to make them look beautiful. 🧡
Everything is very nice : the plants, the bench, the lights, the floor... The flower wall is beautiful, but I'm concerned the sun will fade their colours with time. Isn't it what it does ?
This is on the dowel so it is easy to take inside and hang there depending on the weather. The flowers can be sprayed if you are concerned about fading. Also it is a decor item so it will be used for a time and then be replaced with a new idea.
Alexandra! You have outdone yourself here. This is sooo good. Thanks for the tip on the 100% cotton outdoor rug. I have a metal balcony. I got an outdoor rug for it and the water NEVER dries when it rains or snows. I'll be purchasing a cotton rug now. It will be easy to fold and put away for winter too.
This is so incredible. So many sweet little details. I love the flower wall... I think maybe you could also find faux flowers and repeat this with those and it would be more durable.
@@Rollimggiant You don't get out much, do you? Goth has evolved. There's so many different types. I love the Gothic Lolitas in Japan and the Steampunk Goth. Goth is versatile. You can make it modern or vintage or futuristic. Massive sartorial fun. =)
@@badgerinabluedress4866 agreed! modern goth is very possible. Instead of going for light tones, get more black items with pops of color like dark purple or red. You can get lots of modern items in these colors you just have to know how to style them (:
I was hoping for shelving on the divider wall....or art....or pretty curtains, the flowers ( although pretty ) just didn't thrill me. I would give this make over an 8 -1 for not continuing the flooring -1 for the flower wall...Great job !!!
I've been binge watching you today. You are REALLY GOOD at what you do. Subscribed and shared. When I saw you do the outdoor light, I was amazed. Not many people know you can do this. I live in Alabama and the electricity goes out a lot. We have a generator to use but I make battery operated lights such as yours and out of empty whiskey bottles. Just about anything that is glass. My bottles also have shades which means there are two different lights. Love your style. Rock On little Lady, Rock On!!!!!!
It's the only piece that I don't think is going to hold up. Between the flowers getting bleached by the sun and ripped up by wind, it's gonna look trashed so fast!
Agree. The flower wall looks like my kids classes art work displays. Not very grown up. I'd paint all the brickwork bright white too, it's very dingy looking.
very nice, the only thing...I would get an "S" hook you know the kind that you use on a pot rack? I would use it to hang the water pitcher on the ladder instead of looped over, that way you don't have to pull the ladder away from the wall to take it off. love the rug color goes so well with the flower colors.
I really love that you made over a narrow space! I live in a Georgian-era terrace that's all narrow ledges and landings and it's tricky to figure out what to do with them, inside and out. Mine can't even fit a bench, but I'm feeling inspired to dress up my planters and maybe put down some decking. Also totally making the dried flower display for indoors. 💕
Great job! So warm and feminine and inviting. I’m inspired and can’t wait for warmer weather to get to work on my patio in Minneapolis. I also gotta say WOW, people are so critical! I’m kind of shocked at some the comments. I say brava to you for your creativity and your guts in sharing it with the world.
Yes, yes, yes! The living area is the same layout as my small balcony. Loads of inspiration:) Thank you so much for doing this video. Beeeeeautiful !👍😍
Hello from France!

WowAlexandra, this is so chic and turned out amazing. I have real plants but no cacti, but this faux cactus is amazing, I really thought it was real! I love how you utilized every inch of the space and made such great use of it. I'm truly loving it, thanks so much for sharing, keep up with the great content I love your channel.
Wow! This is an amazing patio makeover! You gave me some great ideas. I actually have tomato, pepper and herbs in pots and need to put them up on the wall. Terrace gardening is what i want to achieve. Thank you for the inspiration!
Drilling into the building is probably in major violation of any apartment building or condo's rules that could get you in serious trouble. If you hit electrical or damage something else you can't see on the outside you are going to be liable. Be careful! Is there a Command hook or something else that could be used?
I think as long as the ceiling is smooth the hook will work. I imagine you need the one for heavy weight bearing items. And you might have to fiddle with chord a bit more.
I thought the same thing. In fact, it would have been helpful if the video clarified what type of building this is. It might be 'an apartment' to the renter, but if it is in fact a condo, there are very strict rules by which both owners and tenants have to abide. I've lived in two different condos, over a span of 10 years, and while of course, you can drill into concrete, that does not mean that one is allowed. In fact, the video had several violations: hanging lights on the railing breaks the 'common look and feel' of the exterior of the building, (which is perceived to drive down market value), hanging planters on the balcony railing is strictly verboten, as the weight of the baskets reduces structural integrity, (railings have been known to fall and are a huge safety issue), and drilling into a balcony floor would be a huge violation, as it is considered a common element, (owned by the building, not the condo owner). The video could have at least advised that one should verify the rules of their building before proceeding.
Exactly! Although our condo rules do allow solar lights on balconies but that is all. Perhaps an apartment building wouldn't be so concerned. But I don't think any building owner would want anything drilled into. She has lovely ideas but I think they need to be modified a little.
I agree. Isabelle LaRue's channel 'Engineer Your Space' is much better for renters and she's done a couple of tiny balconies (much smaller than this one). She is just as creative, but her ideas are much more affordable and practical. Lots of her ideas avoid the practical restrictions of renters and the changes are easily reversed when you move - often you can take your materials with you to your new home.
@@wilmaknickersfit I'm not sure if any of you are in Toronto Ontario but we have VERY lax rules, the only thing I might see as an issue is in a Condo but that is a solid concrete balcony, the issue would be more could it fly off and hit someone, the drilling of a hook is more a non issue - and I'm a property manager in Toronto
I can't believe how many negative remarks I saw below! I ALWAYS feel so warm & happy after your vids:) I've decorated all my life... & my daughter got her degree. I see nothing but potential in you, & a glaring bright future... Stay as sweet as you are, & don't allow anyone's jealousy affect you. :)
Idk about Canada, but here in the states that balcony area will become a smokers lounge. So a few pretty ashtrays around the area will make guests feel more comfortable. I do not smoke cigarettes but I have friends who do, so a nice little spot like this is ideal. My home is not subjected to second hand smoke, but guests don't feel ostracized by being asked to take their smoke break outside.
Sorry, this isn't practical... I don't think I'd wanna bring that rug and the flower walp inside every night and put it back Everytime I wanna sit down...
My neighbours did that. I looked out once with an umbrella and they laughed and put trays under their plants. Without a tray, they couldn't see they were overwatering the plants.
Really good job! Didn’t think I’d like the floor tiles but I do. Great idea for pendant light and like the tiny lights on railing. I would add more plants on ladder, especially climbers, and maybe a tiny herb garden.
Sheer genius. I am going to use some of these ideas on my balcony. I covered the deck with artificial turf to give it some lawn, but ran out of ideas after. I would like to post a photo, but not sure how.
I’m in LOVE with your Reno videos! lol I don’t know if it’s possible (and you might have already done one...I gotta binge more of your videos) , but I’d LOVE to see you decorate a college dorm room over!
Ignore the negative comments. I absolutely adore the space you’ve created. I think my fav part is the battery powered bulb to make an overhead light. I’m stealing that idea. 😃. I also love the vertical garden. That one is going home with me as well. Thanks for sharing your creativity. 😃
I was shocked when I read the comments about the flower wall. I absolutely loved the flower wall. It looks like something Anthropologie would do in a window display and brought really great color to the space. It was so creative and beautiful. Wow! 🌸🌹🌼🌺💐🌻🌷
You going to constantly have to deal with dead flowers.
I loved the outdoor light with the battery operated lightbulb...genius!...but I probably wouldn't have spent 80 dollars on it if I was planning on cutting the cord.
Yeah seems extreme
I know im randomly asking but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Jaxx Gianni Instablaster =)
@Fernando Chase Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Hmm $350 is a lot considering she already had the outdoor couch and the skinny wooden bench.
I loved the idea of the pendant light HOWEVER when you buy an $80 light just to destroy it it seems very impractical??
Just a tip for everyone who loved the pendant light idea, thrift a lamp shade or old hanging light instead of destroying an expensive new one.
Or a decorative trash can.
There are so many ways to make such a pendant light more cheaper then in this video, but the idea on his own is still amazing for any place without electrical... 👍!!!!
YES! Love your idea! Personally, I’d love to see less IKEA in every video & more thrifting or discount stores like Ross, Homegoods, Walmart, etc. Some variety would be nice.
it's not destroyed. it still works and you can go back later and add a plug if you need to, or even a new chord.
Yes! Thats what I was thinking. Another thing are solar pendant lights from anywhere especially rn at IKEA they have beautiful solar powered lanterns for $8 to $20
I love that her channel has a more elevated style to do things/things you can buy and invest in if you don't want to just DIY or thrift
Thanks for showing the night time view with all of the lights on!
The click flooring is great. The details of painted legs and pots are my favorite.
My favorite part is definitely that light bulb; I had no idea that kind of thing existed! Though two things I'd like to see in future videos: budget friendly and/or DIY outdoor art that's rain and wind safe, and budget friendly and/or DIY outdoor furniture!

I like the flower wall but feel a better solution would be a big mirror with a lightweight self for candles, plants. Love the faux cactus❤🌵
Vicki Noeske yes a shelf for candles would’ve been so cozy!
that cactus looks so real! I need a DIY video on it! and the space turned out so well! wow. I love all of the colours and the greenery.
My favourite part is the pendant light. Great idea. I was looking for a light idea for my patio and know I found it. Thanks
That cactus looks outstanding, a diy of a faux cactus would be bomb :D
Would LOVE a diy of the faux cactus. It's awesome. Thx for fun video!
Kerrigan!
Looks kind of hard to get around though.

Hi Alexandra, I have recently started following your channel and I am from India. I just love love love your style and room makeovers. We live in really small spaces and watching your videos are so encouraging to make them look beautiful. 🧡
I love the floor, cotton rug, and pillows! That light is really cute too. Very clever!
I love that you give us affordable ideas! This is beautiful😌
I'm absolutely loving that flower wall!! What a cute idea!!! Plus the tile!! I've never even heard about something like that so cool!!
Everything is very nice : the plants, the bench, the lights, the floor...
The flower wall is beautiful, but I'm concerned the sun will fade their colours with time. Isn't it what it does ?
Petit Pingouin you can try to spray modpondge or any other type of spray on glue/sealant 😇

This is so incredible. So many sweet little details. I love the flower wall... I think maybe you could also find faux flowers and repeat this with those and it would be more durable.
Yes please post the faux cactus paint hack. I have had this idea but have been too nervous to try it since I am not a painter.
This is so cute!!!! I might have to do this on my balcony, but in a more modern goth style!
I would totally watch that if you would make a video
@@Esveniaa I mean... I probably won't, but who knows. ^_^
Modern and goth dont go together
Goth is from a long time ago. Thats like saying victorian modern

tbh it would have looked amazing to have a faux plant/succulent wall where the real flowers are!!
Katy Christina yes what a great idea!!!
You did a great job with limited space. I especially like the battery powered pendant light.
I love it! Love the rug and the idea of the ceiling lamp is genius. 🌵looks so real, love the vertical garden and those dry roses are so cool 😎
You just nailed the narrow part of the balcony. Loved it
I was hoping for shelving on the divider wall....or art....or pretty curtains, the flowers ( although pretty ) just didn't thrill me. I would give this make over an 8 -1 for not continuing the flooring -1 for the flower wall...Great job !!!
JoAnn DiResta I agree a 100%
I agree with how Alexandra did it. Not putting those flooring down split the sitting area.
Love the flower wall and the pendant light is magic.

I probably would of gone with a DIY art piece(s) instead of a flower wall. Just a suggestion, everything else was awesome!
It's the only piece that I don't think is going to hold up. Between the flowers getting bleached by the sun and ripped up by wind, it's gonna look trashed so fast!
Roberto Penalba I don’t think she meant it as a permanent art installation. She commented as much.
Flower wall looks sad
Roberto Penalba I agree about the DIY art piece/tapestry.
Agree. The flower wall looks like my kids classes art work displays. Not very grown up. I'd paint all the brickwork bright white too, it's very dingy looking.
very nice, the only thing...I would get an "S" hook you know the kind that you use on a pot rack? I would use it to hang the water pitcher on the ladder instead of looped over, that way you don't have to pull the ladder away from the wall to take it off. love the rug color goes so well with the flower colors.
That cactus looks so real. Y’all should definitely do a tutorial on how to paint it like that. 🌵

great idea of plant ladder, dirt at base of fake flowers!! the wall of flowers is beautiful and happy!!
i love this so much.thats the cutest coffee table ever.
Literally looking at my dead plants and my pitiful balcony and I got on UA-cam to find a balcony Reno/DIY video and my wishes were granted!
Looks amazing. Love the flower wall. Going to try it over my bed. Battery operated light bulb? Who knew. Thank you for sharing
Yes, yes, yes! The living area is the same layout as my small balcony. Loads of inspiration:) Thank you so much for doing this video. Beeeeeautiful !👍😍

Great ideas! I use my balcony as much as I can once it gets nice.
Super cute! I LOVE the flower wall!🌺🌺🌺
I am so happy about your channel. When I say HAPPY I mean JOY. I just love your videos🌸
I love, love, love your sense of style!
LOVED this transformation! The color scheme, practical solutions -- everything was spot! on!
That pendant light ! I had no idea you could do that. Great idea
Love what you did. So creative in such a small and odd space to work in. Turned out beautifully 👏👏👏
this balcony looks so good
I can't believe how many negative remarks I saw below! I ALWAYS feel so warm & happy after your vids:) I've decorated all my life... & my daughter got her degree.

I think your choices are so weird! Don't get waterproof lights because they're more expensive but pay $20 for a planter? You save on the wrong items
This is so beautiful! Amazing job, Alexandra!
Love it boho look is in now great job so bright and colourful
So cute. I would love to see more outside/patio makeovers! ❤️❤️❤️
Amazon sells Day/Night LED lightbulbs (4 for $20). Great way to bring light outside. Turns on itself when the sun is setting.
Omg that lightbulb thing just saved my life ! Thank youuu
Sorry, this isn't practical... I don't think I'd wanna bring that rug and the flower walp inside every night and put it back Everytime I wanna sit down...
I agree. It's lovely, but high maintenance unless you live in a warm dry climate.
Huh? She said bring it in during the winter if she wanted. Not every night.
@@kiki29073 She said it can't withstand the rain. So yeah, you'd have to take it indoors all the time
I have a summer porch decor that can’t handle rain and a winter decor that can. I switch them out with the seasons, not every night.
Everything outside should be water proof. Except maybe lighting.
Alexandra you do beautiful makeovers and budget friendly this balcony came out awesome. Love your work.❤😂
Loved it ! The pendant light was inspired! Just wish you’d credited Mr Kate for the flower wall inspo.
I'm sure Mr Kate isn't the only one who's done a flower wall 😅
So so beautiful! 😍 Love the flower wall. I would be tempted to put a big leafy plant in the corner next to the sofa too.
Looks so good!! And that pendants light hack is genius!!!
Oh my god you deserve all the applause for this one! That pendant light idea was beyond genius and I have not seen anyone do that
May I introduce you to this revolutionary thing called a mop?
Everything turned out great
That light 💡 is a game changer.
As long as people know to bring in plants for watering. I lived in a place where people watered on their balcony and it rained down on ours.
My neighbours did that. I looked out once with an umbrella and they laughed and put trays under their plants. Without a tray, they couldn't see they were overwatering the plants.
This is amazing!!!! Such a chic transformation! Love the pendant light idea :)
A tip for plants.....put them in cheap plastic pots that you can set inside the decorative pots. They can be removed for watering and repotting.
This is so cute and well done!!🌵
The lightbulb is ingenious. I’m going to copy!
Really good job! Didn’t think I’d like the floor tiles but I do. Great idea for pendant light and like the tiny lights on railing. I would add more plants on ladder, especially climbers, and maybe a tiny herb garden.
Sheer genius. I am going to use some of these ideas on my balcony. I covered the deck with artificial turf to give it some lawn, but ran out of ideas after. I would like to post a photo, but not sure how.
I’m in LOVE with your Reno videos! lol I don’t know if it’s possible (and you might have already done one...I gotta binge more of your videos) , but I’d LOVE to see you decorate a college dorm room over!
Love it! I would add a nice fern beside the couch to brighten that area with some fresh greenery.
I love your ideas! I like how you added more of a personalized affect with the two tone paint.
Great job. So cute and welcoming! Love the flooring tiles and the rug!
Ignore the negative comments. I absolutely adore the space you’ve created. I think my fav part is the battery powered bulb to make an overhead light. I’m stealing that idea. 😃. I also love the vertical garden. That one is going home with me as well. Thanks for sharing your creativity. 😃
Omg thank you for this! I was literally asking for this on another video!
Omg!!! I was just looking for this video (already on the journey to style my balcony) so helpful!
This turned out amazing!! Just a warning though, the sub might discolor the faux cactus if it's out there too long
