FAQ: What do you do when it rains? We don't get that much rain into our balcony, because there is a "roof" aka the balcony of our upstairs neighbour. Also, it's slanted and slopes downwards so the water slowly trickles away. Either way, I made sure almost everything there is uv + waterproof - from the rug to anything wood (using outdoor stain). If we know there's gna be the slightest chance of rain, we'll place a waterproof tarp over the entire bbq + table, and cushions are brought indoors. It takes only 1 minute to protect the balcony :) FAQ: Doesn't it get dusty? Not really... It's pretty easy to maintain since it's such a small space. We find it gets dustier inside our house than outside, lol. FAQ: What about winter? In the winter we bring everything in. In Germany a lot of old buildings like ours have basement storage units (it's like 3 to 4 sqm of space) so we can put everything away, and restore it once the weather gets warmer again. A lot of people who have fully decked out balconies bring their furniture in during the winter too!
Yes!!! This was such a nice, calming video to watch vs the other ones when the youtuber is talking loud and fast, sounding like a fake cheery car salesman.
Totally. I'm beyond sick of the rambling intro, way too much narration and demands that I like and subscribe. I'll subscribe if I want to...don't tell me what to do! Lol This is a lovely video.
Exactly! I was looking for apartment makeovers and everyone was like „Pinterest aesthetic cheap fast“ style and this feels just like coming home.. and embracing crafts and material. Very relaxing, grounding and inspiring💞
I really like the way you recorded this; not a bunch of talking about stuff that is just unimportant. It sounds weird to say but the no talking at all was actually really refreshing. The music was very relaxing. You got to the point without a lot of excess and distractions but it still it felt like you were telling a cozy story. The whole video was 13 minutes long but I didn't feel like I sat through a long 13 minutes watching the whole thing because it was that engaging. The space turned out beautifully. And it's inspiring cuz I have a balcony that's not really being used and I'm kinda prissy; I don't like spiders or bugs or dirt (lol 😆) so I usually don't even go outside to the balcony, but now I might decide to do something with it.
All the effort and love you put into each of the makeovers, every detail... honestly, reflects your personalities completely (you are so adorable and you make such a good team!). Your videos inspire me just by seeing the magic of what you create even in such a small and simple space. I love your edits and thank you for sharing these little moments of your life. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
I just stumbled upon this video and instantly gave me a very calming vibe that has been very hard to find these days. Now i’m going to binge watch your vids. ❤️
The ending was like.. awww how magical, and then.... lol Each time I have watched a cloudyhills video I feel so relaxed, refreshed and inspired. This channel rocks!
Wunderbar, dass Du dir im Sinne der Nachhaltigkeit keine neuen Holzfliesen geholt, sondern Dir die Arbeit gemacht und die abgewetterten aufgefrischt hast - und Dein Balkon ist dank etwas Ideenreichtum und Kreativität sauschön geworden :D danke für's Teilen mit uns!
Hace poco descubrí este canal y quedé fascinada con tus ideas, no he parado de buscar inspiración en pinterest porque tengo un espacio que quiero convertir en balcón pero se me dificulta visualizarlo, te quedó muy bonito y definitivamente me inspiraré para organizar mi diseño, disfruten mucho su espacio, y gracias por compartir tus ideas!!
This is so relatable. Many of us who rent have a small balcony and can’t drill holes or paint the walls. Love your solution of using a faux ivy on the wooden grid, it made the white wall stand out! I have recently taken care of my balcony as well and it is now one of my favourite spaces around the apartment 💕
ever since I found this beautiful channel of yours, it never failed to make me inspired and motivated to transform my room and the different parts of our home as well ☁️✨ thank you so much for these aesthetic videos! 🌺👓 I am sick yesterday but constantly healing as of this moment, and this made my day 👉👈
Such a calm, cozy space. Love it! Wonder what's in store next since your apartment makeover is done (or maybe almost done?). Whatever you decide to share with us, I'm sure it's gonna be fantastic!!
Dearest Hillary, I am so pleased to have stumbled upon your channel. I started with the first video, and am all caught up. Thanks for such beautiful and peaceful videos. I have teally enjoyed seeing how your artistic expression is artfully carried out in every part of your home. I have loved seeing it all come together. I think having these tidy and organized spaces will further help your mental health and well-being. It's so hard to feel productive and at peace in a space that is cramped and cluttered. I am sure these make-overs have helped you a lot. I am also so impressed with your superb editing, and see how you love adding in all the extra parts to make it an "artisit experience" for your viewers. Can't wait to see what's next!
It's finally here! I was waiting for this video from so long🥺. Your videos are so calming and beautiful! You are very creative from the process of planning, visualising and executing it. Thank you so much for all the efforts that you put it and sharing it here. More love and Power to you. Keep growing 🌿🌻
The balcony is a second home altogether in the home itself and I loved every bit of your detailed work here, from the balcony makeover to your video editing skills and content. I am Madhu from New Delhi, India. If you ever visit India, I'd be so grateful to host you both ❤️ I'm in love with your work! Thanks to TH-cam recommendation that it landed me to your video. Much love and more light ❤️✨
I leave my palett sofa outside in the winter, like your wood tiles they are gonna be just fine in the snow. After all paletts are made to endure a lot. I only take the cushions in. 🙂
Snuggling into a corner on that couch with a book & a mug of coffee... Or just watching people or a train pass by while soft music playing in the background... *just* *imagine*
You've made your balcony so warm and cosy. I especially love the outdoor rug. What a great find! Thanks for being so creative and sharing it with us. I hope I can soon, like you, finish my apartment and make it cohesive. And thanks for sharing the links as well. :))
I'm happy for your happiness! You give me hope! Thank you for the wholesome, beautiful preocupations you have and share with your audience..you are strangers to me, people whom maybe I wouldn't be able to identify in a crowd and yet I feel love and serenity and emotions I would have for my familiars. Thank you for that! I wish you the best in life
Hi hill! I am a Mexican also living in Germany since few months ago. I just started watching your videos because I was looking for inspiration for my own balcony transformation, and I must say I love to watch your channel. Now I have a great space to relax with my lovely husband and cat!
If you're reading this comment, one small positive thought can change your whole day & believe you can and you’re halfway there ✨. God bless you, and may your dreams come true, stay safe and have a wonderful day.✨🦋
wholesome, earthy, and aesthetically pleasing. "I'd rather have a pantry full of herbs than a closet full of heels" i love it!! this was so claiming and inspiring to watch
Space is lovely, but you got my subscription as there is no talking in the video, which I absolutely love. It's so pleasing to watch! You can focus on visual part and enjoy music
Maravilhoso esse cantinho, ficou muito aconchegante...que luxo...criatividade à flor da pele... Ameiiiiiiiiii de ❤ Parabéns vcs são muito caprichosos... Que Deus proteja vcs !!! 🙏🙏🙏😇💐🥰
The bbq + table are entirely covered by a waterproof thingy (is it called a tarp? haha) at night if we know there's any chance of rain. Rug, trellis & sofa base are waterproof. Cushions are brought indoors :) (It sounds like work but actually not really, takes only a minute!)
I think the balcony compliments the rest of your apartment super well, it looks so cozy and comfy! Mint is super invasive but it does grow back every year, I just leave my pots outside during winter and they "die", but will come back every spring :)
your videos make me so calm despite the fact that i'm working and i'm preety anxious most of the time ,your content makes me feel as i used to, before all this. Calm ,free, in love with life. Keep going you seem like an amazing person ,wish you the best!!!
I've watched a few of your videos and find this the most charming so far! I like your style and how you factor comfort, practicality and aesthetics! I look forward seeing more of your videos!
Good job on the floor tiles. The overall design is very cute. Haha When I was young my sister and I rented a townhouse that close to a commuter train track in the SF Bay Area. It was noisy but after a while we got used to it and it didn’t bother us. I lived there for 5 years.
Admiring your creativity and innovations with easily accessible styling features like the collapsible lattice frame for the faux ivy. You have this small and easily overlooked space in a rental become a real paradise and haven with fresh plants too. Much support from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia … where we too often have days with the temperatures in the 30degrees. Kind regards for you and yours, Christine.
One of the most fun and relaxing videos I’ve ever seen! Makeover details were in depth and helpful and the finished product is amazing! I love seeing the train go by and you guys waving at the end!
The perfect space where you can curl up with a book and a glass of wine. Now you have finished your own apartment, you might think about working on other people’s - you have impeccable taste!

haha
Me too ♥️♥️
Me too😍
Sameee eventho it will be in like 10-15 years LoL
sameeeeee i kinda want i like a dark vibe but whit lots of led lights :)
Waving at the train almost made me cry🥰 I love how it came out and I am happy for you both. What a special place to share and have memories!
I love the ending where you and Pat just wave at the train 😂
We're still waiting for the day someone waves back 😜

What a big difference. Great job. After a week of rain and gloom its nice to see some sunlight.
I cannot get over how talented you are! You're so amazing at these little makeovers I'm constantly inspired!

I love the rug. Its colours are so rich. It ties everything together, imo.
What’s nice is nothing is too hard to remove or move around if you want to change the direction … beautiful 😍
Since this is the last place for makeover, pls do a full house tour ! It sure will attract millions of views.
your balcony looks like a very comforting place to chill. Also, your choice of music makes everything perfect.
That wood with the fake ivy looks so good omg I'm going to remember that idea!!! ❤️
You are such a treasure. That simple but fulfilling life.

I find it so much cooler in apartments. They are small but they have everything you need and are really cozy. I love them
I love the cozy vibe of the entire space... definitely adding this to my vision board 🙈💜
the brightly lit train going by must be so cool to watch at night!
Such a calm, cozy space. Love it! Wonder what's in store next since your apartment makeover is done (or maybe almost done?). Whatever you decide to share with us, I'm sure it's gonna be fantastic!!

This was satisfying to watch and the music was everything. I lost my mom two weeks ago. And your video really inspired me. Thank You
You've turned this small space into such an amazing and beautiful looking area. Well done!

PLSSS THIS WAS SO BEAUTIFUL and it gave me insight as to how I want to make my new balcony :D loved the video and the vibes aaaa
I would spend all my free time in that balcony during the warmer seasons 😍💕
Dreaming of that same balcony! Love how you did it all by yourself 😍
It's amazing how even the trees became greener and the sky more blue after the makover
This was so satisfying to watch. Many happy days are wished you and Pat on your lovely patio. What a great job!

Very relaxing.... finding my reason to exits amist sorrow....and I just felt peace throughout your video.... subscribed for ever
This looks absolutely beautiful.i have a question though how would you protect all this if it rains suddenly?
I have the same question, especially about the grill and dishes
The bbq + table are entirely covered by a waterproof thingy (is it called a tarp? haha) at night if we know there's any chance of rain. Rug, trellis & sofa base are waterproof. Cushions are brought indoors :) (It sounds like work but actually not really, takes only a minute!)
@@cloudyhills that's great :D
Love the rich colors that you use, these are my favorite colors to decorate 🤎🧡💛
Ficou maravilhoso!
I think the balcony compliments the rest of your apartment super well, it looks so cozy and comfy! Mint is super invasive but it does grow back every year, I just leave my pots outside during winter and they "die", but will come back every spring :)
oooo thank you for the tip! :)
I love your design. It is so cozy and relaxing. i just want to ask what do you usually do with the sofa if it starts to rain?
Same question is bothering my mind as well 😅 that sofa and electric items ??? 🤔
Yes lots of fabric items the you wouldn’t want to get wet!
You got so much into a tiny space without making it look cluttered. I adore the rug!
The place became very beautiful, I liked the harmony and overlapping of colors, I felt the feeling of intimacy and warmth 🧡
This was the most beautiful, therapeutic video 🥹
Ohhhh this is sooo cozy. I love how you maximized and transformed the small balcony into a great space.
The baby gate on the wall is genius- stealing that idea for sure !
Love how calming this is..
I'm only 4"11 so that type of outdoor sofa would be the perfect nap space for me lol

It looks awesome
so refreshing to see the balcony
This is absolutely charming..!! LOVE the trellis/faux ivy..!! You've created your own ice of paradise. Well done !!'❤
Absolutely love the simplicity of the balcony. It has so much character and speaks ‘warmth’. Such a beautiful video! ✨💙
That looks like a beautiful little getaway and a very comfortable spot to just chill
That has gotta be the cutest apartment ever!
hillary, you have inspired me so much. finally feeling like I can get some works done after watching your video.
You are so creative! Also talented! It is amazing to see how you do all by yourself
Amazing oh my goodness everything about this you must feel so proud!!!
So beautiful! You have so many wonderful talents!
It was a small space but you managed to make it really cosy. You are very talented.
Wow everything looks sooo pretty!!

What a beautiful transformation. Love the color combo you pick for your balcony..
I just happened to come across one of your shorts and I’m so glad I did. I’m enjoying your peaceful content.
Omg the ivy trellis is perfect!
I can feel the coziness of your wonderful balcony through my phone ☺️ it turned out perfect! You did a great job! Inspiring!
