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.

Wow, you win the award for the most visually pleasing use of military camo. Nice job!

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?
