Dreaming of a Relaxing Outside Space

I am limited on space with a small balcony but I desire a nice quiet place that I can enjoy being outdoors and be surrounded by plants and flowers. I want to transform our balcony to a cozy outside retreat, to have quiet time for myself, to enjoy reading a book, to have an enjoyable conversation with my hubby, daughter or friends while sipping on a fresh strawberry lemonade. A place to be still!

I love the contrast of color

I just love the colors of this, the soft pinks, the natural hues, the girliness of it all

I love this one for it's coziness minus the cat of course. With that fluffy kitty I couldn't relax very well since I wouldn't be able to breath

I love these colors, my space is way to small for this idea but just imagine hanging out here for an afternoon

I'm dreaming of a nice relaxing place too! The tea this afternoon was a lot of fun but I am throughly exhausted. Having chinese for dinner and putting my feet up. How was your walk this morning?

It was wonderful! The weather was perfect and had great company! We walked down the waterfront. I'm so glad you had fun at the tea. I can't wait to see pictures.

So what do you think about any of the above for our space? Stephen likes the one with the cat...
