Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Summer is here and it's finally time to give my basic apartment balcony a huge makeover! So far, I've added much-needed privacy with a DIY privacy wall and turned two IKEA storage boxes into a sofa. Now it's time to bring everything together to create the patio of my dreams! I'm bringing in a fun coastal grandmillennial style to go for that East Coast resort look. And! Everything was done on a budget! ✨

Spiders hate the smell of peppermint. You could add some peppermint sachets around the railings or spray daily with a mix of peppermint essential oil mixed with water.
That's a fantastic idea!! Thank you!! I'll definitely try that!
I thought that was mice that didn't like the smell of peppermint. I use spider spray Raid or miss muffet will keep them away for months and the smell is not so strong like it used to be. Miss muffet at home Depot,raid at Walmart.
Thanks, I live in the country & and yes, we have them, thangs, big ones too, any other advice to add?
This turned out just beautiful. it's so cozy, especially at night.
What a nice design and how lucky its such a nice sunny balcony with a great view! Also - the dreaded de-spidering is so important every year🤣
Wow!! I LOVE your deck! It looks so cozy and inviting! I love the lights and candles at night! AND the most important .... privacy screen!! ;O)
Well done!!
Use a good old broom. Works better. ❤
This is such a cute makeover! ❤
Wow! It turned out so nice. I love it. How relaxing! 🥰🤗
Great Job Alli! That is beautiful! You really have an amazing taste level and can execute it on a budget! P.S. Where did you get your sandals--Love them.
Thanks so much!! I couldn't remember where I got the sandals, so I went back and checked! They're from DSW! I've had them since last year and still love them. Here's the link: www.dsw.com/product/journee-collection-kimmie-sandal/454090?activeColor=215
Beautiful transformation! It’s very casual but elegant, and so welcoming. You have a great design sense! Love those pillows too!!
Great job Alli…. Love the coastal chic vibe!! Glad you took your time and did a step by step video process. Much more realistic and approachable than all in one video You Tube “magic” we are used to seeing from other creators. Thanks for all of the great ideas!
The patio looks beautiful. Giving me inspiration for mine!
You need drainage holes for the planters. They will get root rot.
Love your DIY ideas and the complete project. ☺️👍🏼
Looks lovely Alli, I hope you and your boyfriend enjoy your new space!!!
So I have a question for you, when you spray paint outside, do you spray paint on your balcony or do you spray paint out on the landing going out your front door? I’m asking because I live in a three-story apartment building and I’m in the third story and I had started to work on DIY projects and I want to start spray painting certain things because it’s just quicker. I did get a spray paint pop-up tent, which I think I’m thinking about using, but I wanted to get your opinion on what you feel is the best way to spray paint something while living in an apartment without getting spray paint everywhere.
Thank you so much ahead of time for your help with this and your opinion on this . 😊
I usually just spray paint on my balcony! I definitely recommend the paint tent. I was just saying the other day that I need one (after a little bit of the spray paint got on my patio furniture 😭). I trust it on my balcony the most since I'll leave whatever it is sitting outside to dry. If you use the tent, I just recommend getting something to weight it down from the wind!
@@ActuallyAlliThank you so much. Absolutely I figured while I am grabbing the spray paint I grab a couple of bricks!!😊👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so very much 🌸🐾
Where is the long rectangular white planter from that you planted your herb garden in?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there! I got it from Lowe's in the garden center
What I want to know is where and how you store all of your tools. Can you show us that?
Been following you for quite a while now and it’s so cool seeing your channel grow along with your DIY skills and design eye. The patio looks amazing and cosy, you crushed it!🔥
Alli, you're so creative. Love,love the patio make over. Keep creating. You're absolutely amazing!😊
Lovely job on your patio. If you place the herbs outside of the railing you will have more deck space. Keep up the awesome work!
It all looks so lovely, you have done an awesome job in turning your small space into something so charming. The rug was a great choice, well done. 😊
Great job on your balcony
Looks Amazing Alli, love your channel😊
Why did you paint your privacy fence white?? If it was the same as the fence it would be somewhat camouflaged….just wondering. Your patio is very nice!
Beautiful ❤ love the tan and white decor! I'm so inspired to revamp my balcony
I use peppermint cleaning spray once a week on surfaces that I have seen spiders,or any type of bug and it does work ,plus it smells great! By the way,loving your channel ,love the patio redo,,great job . Looks so relaxing .
Inspiring. I have a smaller back porch with metal railing and live in a side by side duplex. I need a free-standing privacy divider that i can make myself to be budget friendly, similar to the one you made, so I can paint and screw photos in and plant pots. Any step by step videos on this?
Should the plywood on back of your wall pockets start to deteriorate, there is a very thin commercial type plastic that you could replace with. I've seen it used on linai walls where moisture was a possibility, and also in restaurant dish room areas, Just a thought as it is pretty thin.😊 Great idea!! Looks Great!!
Everything looking really nice and inviting!!😊
Beautiful ❤❤❤. Great job girl
So so beautiful
Your 'Deck' (Decks are raised, while Patios are flush with the ground) looks so inviting. Your ideas are amazing. Enjoy !!
A bit late with a comment but… Thank you for posting this.😊 I “thought” it might be a regional thing since so many others in the comments were also calling it a “PATIO” & NOT a deck. Here in the South we (I) call this a “DECK”, anything above the 1st apartment is a “deck”. A “Patio” as you said “is flush to the ground”. Also it’s made with concrete and not “wood”. I know some apartments that have this are called “Garden Apartments”.
Thanks for helping me to know that my mind was correct! 🤣 I’m a very late “baby” of the “Baby Boomer Generation” named “Generation Jones”. The mind starts to “play games & to wander off” at times, sometimes. It’s as if “they” have started changing the words for things & no one thought to tell us about it. 😧 🙃
But Alli did do an AWESOME job!! ✌🏻
Wow…. Your patio looks amazing. You did that, girl! 👍👍👍
Thanks so much!!! 🥹🥹
Wow! Love your colour choices
Everything looks great! I love the plates! Where are they from?
They are from Target!
...Nice design ideas. ..adding the Umbrella, absolutely needed. 🙂
I use a Product called Terro , these are Granules that you sprinkle around the perimeter of your area ,and I have no spuders, no ants no bugs of any kind.. I pay particular attention to the Area in front of my doers, making sure theres a nice thin line of tbis Product all around that area. Ive used this 4 three Years and use it all around the parameter of my patio as well.
Love all the pillows ! ...and that Bouquet on the table... yessss !!
It all looks inviting ...nicely done .
Everyone needs a “ vacation-feel” area at their home. This looks wonderful. Enjoy! Also, maybe you already did this, but another youtuber I watch replaced tiki oil with 90% isopropyl alcohol in their patio torch and it burns cleaner and clearer.😁
Think i would have hung the planter on the outside of the railing
I definitely thought about it. We get a lot of severe storms where I live, so I was worried that one day I'd come outside and it'd be gone 😅
I love your whole design plan! Having gone from buying to renting recently, I love your take on renter-friendly.❤
looks lovely .x.
What a beautiful space Alli! A relaxing oasis well deserved. Enjoy!
Very nice alli
Very nice❤
Very nice!
Your patio is soon perfect! I love it, what a nice view, I want to have coffee out there. Thank you for sharing.
Where did you get the insert for the hurricane globe? It has a wick.
I don’t see the string lights linked. Are they solar or plug in???
LOOKS GREAT ! ITS INSPIRING ME TO CHECK OUT MY PATIO...AND CHIC IT UP! 👍
Nice work
Your design is a knock-out ~ just lovely! 😊

What a beautiful and inviting makeover. I love it.
It turned out fabulous. And thank you for the ideas
Great look and love the water scene has to be relaxing.
What happens when it rains?
Use outdoor fabrics so it doesn’t matter if you leave them out.
A very beautiful patio makeover! 😊
Get yourself some cup hooks and string the lights along the hooks you can screw them right into your wood and have hooks too hang other items from wind chimes sun catchers and tube lighting ..
Haha the truth is I bought hooks for the video and then lost where I put them before filming this video 🥲
A relaxing oasis and beautiful!
Beautiful, the colors are perfect!
Oh wow!😮❤ Great job! Enjoy😊
