Type of space: Balcony
Tell us about your outdoor project and how you enjoy it: We call it, Gnome City. It's a small space, but we have a lot of stuff out there so it has to be organized. We like to sit out there and read a magazine or just watch the plants grown.
How did you create it? We put down the pre-fab wood slats (which come in 12" x 12" squares and snap together), then added the tables we have bought over the years for next to nothing, then the fountain, the plants and the gnomes. There are intersting things to look at like the hand made pots in interesting shapes and colors, not the mention some of the plants themselves.
Recommended store, site, product or resource? California Cactus Center is a great source for cacti and succulents. Bed, Bath and Beyond has great prices on outdoor furniture.

That's hilarious/awesome! I recently created a blog titled The Gnome Home at http://venusiandove.blogspot.com/
Where do you find yours?
Nicely done, gnomes are cute but love the idea of relaxing with a fountain beside me!
I love the gnome themed patio. How cool that you have that space and have really made it homey (gnomey!) Also, I checked out the Gnome Home blog, cute!
So cute!
My husband told me that swingers use gnomes as some sort of secret code to other swingers. Apparently it's all in the kind of gnome and its placement in the landscape.
I still think it's cute!
This is very very funny and cute.
So cute and fantastical! I love it.
Schotzee and friends. What's not love?!
i love the gnomes, so flippin cute!
This is adorable! I want a gnome!
What is the flooring on your balcony? Is it part of the structure or something added on top?
oops, I just read your post. Where did you buy the pre-fab wood slats? Is there a brand name/manufacturer I can do a google search on?
I saw the wood slats recently at home depot...
Wondering if the gnomes cause trouble at night when they're sleeping. Gnomes do that.
