Balcony wonderland.
Posted on: August 4, 2012
Ooooooooooooo. Our balcony is gunna be a wonderland. It’s 5meters-ish long by 1meter-ish wide. For us, it’s huge!
So we went to Nitori today. SO much BETTER than Ikea. We only took ¥20000 with us (only, ha) but our total came to ¥26000…. It was a bit embarrassing. The cash register chick was nice about it. Big purchases/ non-negotiables were light fixtures & curtains. And the essential cushion shaped like a cupcake for Winie. But still SO much CHEAPER than Ikea.
Oh, apologies in advance for the cheesy borders & photo editing! I took screen shots on my phone & there was all boring product info so I tried to pretty it out of sight. Ha
Winie’s room is the only fully curtained room. I went into Nitori knowing exactly what I wanted for her. Lace with cute little colourful bows & the curtain is black with shiny pink polka-dots. Black seems a little odd?? Keeps out light amazingly though!!
Ahh but balcony? Oh!! Oh! We, well Jared had a plan. He wanted to put wooden slat type tiles out there so it wouldn’t be so hot to walk on or dirty. And when we were looking at the pieces we discovered fake grass tile squares.
But not tacky fake grass. We tested it with our bare feet. Soft amazing fake grass. Oh yes. So we are going to have one half of the balcony grassed & one half wooden. We will get Winie a pool & it can sit on the grassed side. And a little round table with 2 little chairs over on the wooded side. Aaaaand the air conditioning unit bam-smack in the middle of all the joy… Ohwell.
I’m not sure when this will all happen, there are still a few more necessary items to spend our money on, like getting the above mentioned air conditioning unit here. Next weekend. Poo. A whole week with only pedestal fans. Luckily our new place is breezy & cool.
If only we had just a ton of money laying around :p
