Although it snowed a little in Toronto yesterday (snowed!) I’m in full planning mode to setup my balcony for the warmer months. Last year, we planted tomatoes and a bounty of herbs — and these will be making a full comeback this year! I’m also thinking of adding an array of succulents and pastel roses to the mix, I couldn’t imagine not having this outdoor oasis — it really adds to the vacation feel of a space.
My indoor hues revolve around greys, yellows and soft whites, but my outdoor decor is where the colours come to play. I’m loving patterned plates for a whimsical outdoor atmosphere, and some pastel-coloured cutlery. Paper straws are also a must for outdoorsy drinks, as is a bright and cherry carafe. Vibrant blues, playful mints and sunshine yellows are on my mind — here are my favourites so far!
{1} Glazed Terracotta Salad Plate, West Elm {2} Foiled Dot Napkin Set, Anthropologie {3}Striped Paper Straws, Etsy {4} Ice cream Scoop, Ikea {5} Ikat Dot Napkin, West Elm {6}Ostron Flatware, Ikea {7} Melamine Plates, West Elm {8} Green Vintage Carafe, Indigo
Enjoy the read!

Hope spring is on it’s way to you!
