My Favourite 'Room', Part VIII - Balcony

I saved the best for last. This is the main reason why I bought the apartment. I daresay nowhere else in KL will you find an apartment with a balcony like this. Not only is it spacious, my balcony overlooks the pool but is shaded by palm trees. I spent many wonderful afternoons relaxing and sipping a glass of cold lemonade or G&T.

Before:
Kind of bare but still had potential.





After:
I started by painting the ceiling a bright fuschia (can't see it from my photos, unfortunately). Then I got some plants. Started with some lotus and guppies in the salted egg jar. The water feature is really very calming. Then, I transported the blue pot all the way from Kuantan. Finally, found the perfect banana palm after visiting 10 nurseries. For furniture, I chose a pair of rattan chairs from a specialist shop somewhere near Subang Airport (thanks to Fiona for pointing out this place).

In case you missed it, the lamp shade is modified from a bubu (a fish trap) that I found in Kuching.
