Skapande

When I moved to this apartment in December last year one of the things I felt most happy about apart from that it is a 2 room apartment, was the balcony. For almost 6 years I lived on the third floor without a balcony and in the summer that was not so fun. I would like to say it was like a punishment. Because the apartment was on the south side, which means that the sun heated the apartment the whole day. It was like lived in a sauna May to September…

So now when I can go out and sit on my balcony or just have the door open I feel so happy! I start to smile every time I think about it.

But the rail around it is just iron bars and I would like to feel a bit like “the balcony is my own little world and I don’t want anyone to disturb”. Because I still dream about the balcony that’s my neighbours in the old house had. Since they were like a smaller room, they had glassed most of them… so I’m still a bit jealous of that.

Therefore I decided to at list put up a fabric around the rail. I bought some awning fabric. Found this striped one in a local fabric store and I think it goes well with the yellow walls of my house.

I first hem the sides of the fabric and then in the ends I placed buttons so it would be easy to put on and to remove. It turned out like I had imagined it. Now one thing still remains and that is to find some nice piece of furniture that I like to place on it.

And on a length of an arm I can reach a cherry tree, for the moment looking like this.
