Summer is here and it's finally time to give my basic apartment balcony a huge makeover! So far, I've added much-needed privacy with a DIY privacy wall and turned two IKEA storage boxes into a sofa. Now it's time to bring everything together to create the patio of my dreams! I'm bringing in a fun coastal grandmillennial style to go for that East Coast resort look. And! Everything was done on a budget! ✨

    Spiders hate the smell of peppermint. You could add some peppermint sachets around the railings or spray daily with a mix of peppermint essential oil mixed with water.

    Great job Alli…. Love the coastal chic vibe!! Glad you took your time and did a step by step video process. Much more realistic and approachable than all in one video You Tube “magic” we are used to seeing from other creators. Thanks for all of the great ideas!

    Great Job Alli! That is beautiful! You really have an amazing taste level and can execute it on a budget! P.S. Where did you get your sandals--Love them.

    ...Nice design ideas. ..adding the Umbrella, absolutely needed. 🙂 I use a Product called Terro , these are Granules that you sprinkle around the perimeter of your area ,and I have no spuders, no ants no bugs of any kind.. I pay particular attention to the Area in front of my doers, making sure theres a nice thin line of tbis Product all around that area. Ive used this 4 three Years and use it all around the parameter of my patio as well. Love all the pillows ! ...and that Bouquet on the table... yessss !! It all looks inviting ...nicely done .
