    How do you not have a Netflix show yet? You are so fun to watch. Watching your videos while I hide from my husband and kid has become part of my weekend routine. Love this transformation... you really made that sad little balcony feel so welcoming.

    Girl… you transformed that skinny balcony! The best part was seeing all the diys come together💞 The cabinet was perfect, just perfect on the balcony. The faux succulent frame was awesome to see again. The runner rugs were creative. You upcycled that balcony table like a pro. The chairs and ivy added so much charm and the real greenery topped it off.🌿🪴 I would’ve never guessed where these items were going to end up while watching the separate diy vids. You should drop hints and let us guess the upcoming makeovers!

    Wowzers! Really wasn't expecting the cabinet to be for outside but it adds so much character 😊
    Great use of smaller rugs to make a gert big 'un.
    I recently saved a favourite rug by trimming the badly fraying edges with patterned fabric from an old pair of trousers. Cheap and proud!

      I definitely didn’t plan on using a piece of real furniture there, but the dimensions were so strict it ended up working out perfectly. If we have to suffer through the LA heat, might as well take advantage and throw a piece of furniture outdoors. 😂 I’ve also been obsessed with videos of rug restorations like that! Watching people shave down rugs is my therapy now.

    An over the rail planters would work too. Not taking up space, and a great way to get real flowers/plants (that is if she actually has a railing that it would fit on). Also instead of shelves, hanging plant bags would give you a place for real plants and would take less wall real-estate than said shelves!

    The Before truely is a horror balkony, ugly and unusable. And you made it a green Oasis, where you actually like to spent time - and can actually use ist. Its crazy how tiny the space is, but you still pulled it of! Also, this episodes highlights your uniquwe ideas and commitment . Its easy to buy stuff for lots of money, but sitting there and handpainting e.g. this cabinet (or the geometric orange wall in Mr. Ewoks Apartment ), shows not only " I am creative and show that on my channel", but that you really want your friends to have the best space they can have and that you can give them.

      It is so so tiny (I think the camera made it look bigger than it actually is), but Bri has done a wonderful job with even more plants. And I do love to give people places they like to be.

    Really not a fan of the fake plants….she gets loads of sun! Would have preferred the real deal. ☹️

      Totally get it. We know how dangerous creeping fig is, so didn’t see a way around that one but wanted to add greenery to the fence without taking up space. But she’s enjoying growing plenty of real ones too!

    WOW, I do not know how I missed this video. That made me turn on notifications. 😂
    The after on this is honestly so gorgeous. That was really a kind of depressing space beforehand, and you made it absolutely beautiful. Well done. 🌿💖🪴

      Yes! And Bri has made it even more beautiful since. It’s pretty amazing what greenery can do.
