My Condo--The Balcony

It's been about 2 months since I moved in and I have yet to post about my new condo! I'm sure you all remember how I had to find a place post haste at the end of the school year.  This place literally fell in my lap at that time.  There were no issues with funding, fix-ups, or other related mortgage or moving-in drama.  I put an offer in, it was accepted, and I moved in about 1 month later.
The reason it's taken me so long to get around to showing my place off online is because a) I was tired from a trying school year and settling into a new place right at the end of it, and b) I was too busy showing it off in person :) 
I'm one of those people who unpacks and begins decorating almost immediately.  I have an innate need to make a place cozy.  I feel that I'm finally at the point where most of the decorating is done, and I'm just "tweaking."  Hopefully this will be the first of several posts about my new condo. I love it, and hope you will enjoy it too.
My balcony started out being the home of my plants.  I added a couple of new geraniums to balance things out and utilized some pretty pots and a stand I already had. I decided a tiny wrought iron bistro set would be just the thing, found a bargain on one at Walmart, and put it together myself. The balcony still needs some flooring, but other than that it's done.  Here's the final product: a comfortable little place to relax and enjoy the outdoors while sipping a frosty beverage.

Very nice, Sarie. I notice you are using Aunt Joanie's flowers for a centerpiece. Really cute
