Balcony Makeover With Walmart And The Home Depot

I’ve been itching to do something with my balcony ever since the weather started getting nice. I had no clue as to what I wanted to do. Should I buy a mini swing set and a few plants? How about a patio set? Should I try my luck at gardening? Tired of going back and forth with myself, I said I’d just look around and grab items and go from there. But before I had a chance to start actively looking, Walmart presented me with the opportunity to choose a patio set and accessories of my choice to help decorate my outdoor space. Shortly after, The Home Depot presented me with a mini shopping spree in their gardening section. The icing on the cake, right?! By shopping at both stores, I was able to choose from a variety of items to transform my balcony in to a mini oasis. Think of bringing the indoors outdoors.

From Walmart’s Better Homes And Gardens collection, I choose a bistro set, accent seat cushions, a rustic garden tub that I turned into a planter for my lettuce, and a cute little gnome. I also grabbed a Topsy Turvy planter, three large plant pots, vegetable plants and soil.

After setting up the Topsy Turvy, I decided that I wanted to get another to grow green peppers in. I couldn’t find any more Topsy Turvy planters at Walmart or even Home Depot. They are hot this summer. Many of my neighbors have them hanging up on their balconies and patios. Since I was unable to find any more Topsy Turvy planters, I decided to get creative. I made fancier Topsy Turvys out of hanging coconut baskets which I found at Home Depot. At Home Depot, I also snagged an assortment of flowers, a terra cotta pot, and coconut basket planters.

I had such a hard time choosing items for my balcony because it is a small space. I didn’t so much have to limit what I bought, more so the amount. If I could have grabbed more flowers, plants, and a fountain I would have, but I had to leave room to breathe! I just love how my balcony turned out. And it came together with $400. It is a place where I can sit with Boogie, get some fresh air, as well as blog .

Thanks Walmart and The Home Depot for sponsoring this makeover! I truly appreciate it!
