Outdoor Home: Uetmarc's Cosy French Style

Name: Uetmarc J.
Location: France

Go AT Europe! This time from the western regions of France, we have a stylish balcony that is showing itself off at night and day. (Thanks, Uetmarc!):

"Hi, as you imagine, i'm a daily reader of your very cool website, i live in the Geneva suburbs (but in France) near the borderline. i want to share my tips for having a cosy balcony with you. I just use some Bangkirai wood in 19,68x19,68 inch panels. I just put them on the floor with some little plants with a Bamboo, a photo canvas frame, and a little BBQ..."

The night lights are just some little battery LEDs. I use some military camouflage for masking the first floor view from the parking, and i'm happy with the shadow that it provides.

Hope you love it..

Cheers, Uetmarc

Uetmarc-

This made me gasp when I saw it. This is awesome. Thanks for sharing your creativity!

I had to read twice and then look again before I realized that was military camo netting. I want some. I wonder how that would look on a pergola.

The AT folks keep saying "AT Europe" Is there a Europe site? I wish...

I just purchase wood deck tiles for my balcony. I cannot wait for them to arrive. They make such a drastic improvement to the balcony.

I've been looking online for this kind of camo netting. Haven't been able to find this pattern, or plain green (mostly green/brown camo pattern, although the arctic white looks pretty great). Has anyone had success?
