Thanks! I understand, I didn't have one in my old apartment, so it was kind of a demand when I searched for a new home

It's technically the etiquette on this site, but that's usually preceding a long winded post showing remodeling over. Don't worry about it.

I liked the bentwood/rattan sofa, but your new furniture is very nice, too.

3 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Well.... The previous owner wanted to keep his sofa lmao, so I had no choice but to get a new one ^^

I have zero decorating skills, very frustrating to be so uninspired. I work at a landscape co and have a stupid yard, also. Very annoying.

I watched lots of decoration ideas online, so that was MY inspiration. :)

Took me far too long to realize those were blinds, not vertical slat wood paneling. Looks great!

Lmao yeah they're vertical blinds

3 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 0

Wait I'm confused by the two windows. Sorry, I'm stupid. Please help.

3 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Large window to the right: window from dwelling; windows on the left, covered by blinds in 2nd image: window from balcony, not open air.

3 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Oh. I've never seen a window from one room to another. Sorry.

In my area, a closed porch is called an "Arizona room". I suspect that balcony is a few stories up, closed off for safety of residents.

This balcony would easily rent out in my area as a room for $800/month.

That's a lovely space you have there. I'd love to sit there with a glass of wine myself

That's my intention! A glas of prosecco or cabernet sauvignon, together with a tablet of a sweet Netflix movie/series, and just chill out
