the balcony


rachel's balcony.

the balcony - where it all began.  so many warm afternoons, sipping coffee and eating pastries from our favorite bakery, and crisp evenings, enjoying good conversation over a glass of wine or scotch, have been spent here.  it was actually one of these very evenings that the idea for this blog was born. 

a beautiful view and a nice balcony are non-negotiables for me when it comes to my home.  in fact, they were what sold me on my current place.  i knew i would be spending a lot of time on my balcony, whether on my own curled up with tea and a good book or amongst friends with good food and drinks.  so, i decided to turn it into a cozy little nook that anyone would want to spend time in.  the couch is from ikea and is the perfect spot to curl up with a blanket.  the beautiful mums are from my good friend mel.  the chairs, table and rug are from target.

it's a little too chilly to be out on the balcony right now, but i'm enjoying the view from my Crate & Barrel Simone Daybed as i type.  more to come on that later - t and i are both obsessed.
