balcony for two

I'm trying to make the balcony more appealing for Matt and Me. Such a wasted space it seems.

I've added a few $5 rugs:

Hung up a birdhouse:

And of course the aforementioned painted stools.

My idea now is to get one of them planter boxes that hang over a balcony and plant some herbs or flowers, something to give it some life.

I WANTED a veggie garden but with el perro in the backyard and his recently noted propensity for digging up a plant probably leaves us with a lets rethink this whole veggie garden in the back patio idea.

I think he was just voicing his landscaping opinions. Messily.
