I {heart} Balconies

With the dog days of summer upon us I find myself trying to capture the last sun molecules, which leaves me itching for a balcony. Having a flat with a good size balcony or even a  (roof)terrace is definitely high up on our priority list for our future home with AC. Looking at these great images I am filled with jealousy plans and dreams! If only I could be sipping my morning latte in one of these now...

Are you enjoying the great outdoors at home? (c'mon make me jealous!!! :)

  2. I love beautiful outdoor spaces. These are all perfect examples. I get envious even flipping through a Pottery Barn catalog and seeing the nice outdoor furniture setups.
