So I ordered two sets of cushions like a normal person. Now while this is the set of my dreams, it needed some cushion for long warm nights of talking with friends about important stuff like vintage patio furniture. THOSE ARMS! And that floor might I add:) But no, we are still talking about the patio set. Seat Cushion Cover + Cushion Insert | Throw Blanket O and as a thank you, I gave her my two chairs from our first set of friendship chairs since she loved them so much and I not longer had a place for them. She was practically handing me the win! FYI no one actually won but we were both super close. So not only would I have given her my firstborn for finding this set had she asked, but this tip was also 3 days before our 7/20 deadline. Maybe for our next and hopefully slightly larger homes, we will move up to a set of eight. Only time will tell how many more are in our future. To date, we’ve split two sets of four chairs. My preferred friendship furniture friend will forever and always be Caitlin. In case you were wondering what “friendship chairs” or “friendship furniture” are, it’s when you buy a set of say, four chairs and you split them financially and physically in half with your preferred friend. Messages were sent and off I was to the west side for my perfect patio match. Also how stunning is that sweet lavender? Heart, be still.Īnother fun fact: After Caitlin and I bought not one but TWO sets of “friendship chairs,” she found this PERFECT patio set on her Nextdoor app area for $150. Basically, it’s perfect and fun fact, it’s also pretty affordable. The woven texture is so good, the simple lines of the black wire adds quiet contrast, and then those sweet little legs with the ball feet really modernize it. While I hate choosing favorites, this planter is easily top three…or two…or one. That’s the actual key to any great design. I chose a color palette, made sure I varied the tones of those colors, mixed up pattern scales, chose different but complementary materials, and added in some very delicious wine. To get that I just used all the knowledge I learned from Em. I wanted lots of plants, patterns, and materials. Having a ton of texture out there was really important to me.

Oof I love this view and everything in it. These covid delays are just still very real. 2022 is going to be exciting because I’m going to finish my entire apartment if it kills me:) But fear not, the living room will happen this year. Side note: These are my old IKEA curtains and while I love a romantic “puddle” I might go for more of a “kiss” when I finally design my bedroom. Something I never thought I needed… I’d like to think I’m not very “princessy” but dammit it feels good. However, waking up to these beautiful gals may or may not make me feel like a princess every day. In typical Jess/Libra fashion I simply can’t choose a favorite so won’t.

My love for these windows only rivals my love for my living room turret window. A long 30″ x 20′ balcony it is! “Well, balcony builders, challenge accepted. They couldn’t have spared a couple more feet? Maybe they felt it in their bones that I would live here one day and thought, “You know what Jess needs? A real hard design challenge.

And what is even WILDER is that it’s not original to the building. I wanted to show these photos to remind you of how wildly skinny my balcony is. How was I going to make this functional and beautiful? Could I even have a table and chairs with that comical width? How was I going to cover that flooring? Well, I was determined and came up with a plan…man. So much potential but also VERY daunting at first sight. But as someone who has a history of overthinking every last detail of every design decision in her life (because isn’t there always a way to make it cooler?), potentially prolonging the design process, this is nothing short of the beautiful, Parisian-inspired miracle.īut let’s start at the beginning dun, dun, dunnnnn…

Did I finish by the 7/20 deadline? Almost. Bunge, designed and photographed a sure, “tiny” balcony, but an entire balcony nonetheless in under two months. My co-dependant relationship/design support with/from Caitlin Higgins has for the millionth time paid off.
