FOR THE HOME: under the sun

Last weekend, when Mike was in Berlin for a boys trip, my mom came to visit in Vienna. We ran the 10km Frauenlauf together on Sunday and drove out to Tulln afterwards. Basically, Tulln is a big fat gardening paradise, with some amazing nurseries for everything your green thumb may desire (we went to Praskac because they are open on Sundays). Due to the fact that my thumb is not so green, I had to replace all of our plants this year as they looked a little worse for wear after the Winter. Luckily, however, my mom is quite the gardening queen and helped my turn our deck into a small oasis just in time for Summer to arrive (see how it looked last year HERE). I also stopped by my new favorite interior store (Lederleitner Home finally opened in the 1st district) for some outdoor accessories and couldn’t be happier with the way our deck has turned out. A new umbrella for some shade and a cute string of lights for above the lounge area are still on my to-do list, but since this is where I plan on spending every free second this weekend, I wanted to go ahead and share some images with you guys anyway.

BELIANI: lounge seating area & table*

IKEA: wooden table, chairs & seating cushions

WESTWING: green/blue patterned pillows & lanterns

MERZ & BENZING: watering can

LEDERLEITNER HOME: gray pillows, silver tray & outdoor rug

PRASKAC: plants & pots

*I know a lot of you have asked where we got the outdoor seating on Instagram & Facebook, and as much as I love our lounge area, I cannot fully recommend the quality. The table has actually melted under the glas, which is why I got the big silver tray to cover up the holes. Also, my mom has similar outdoor furniture and her pillows are of much better quality. Just wanted to give you guys my honest feedback after so many asked.

    Well, not yet – but hopefully some time soon. We are coming up on the one-year-anniversary of living in the “new” apartment. Funny I still call it that after eleven months, but our home still feels like a new blessing. None-the-less, eleven months has somehow not been enough time for me/us to get the whole…

    I feel that any time you come home after a long trip, you appreciate your surroundings a bit more than before you left.

  1. Das ist ein Plätzchen, an dem es sich leben und staunen lässt. Die Aussicht ist einfach ein Traum. In welchen Bezirk befindet Ihr euch?
    Mfg, Julia

  2. Wirklich wunderschöne Terrasse. Die grauen Kissen haben mir es ja besonders angetan. Und das mit dem grünen Daumen kommt mir irgendwie bekannt vor. Ich bin immer überrascht wenn Pflanzen bei mir am Leben bleiben. 😀

    Liebste Grüße,
    Lisa

  3. Ich liebe eure Dachterasse – du kannst dich wirklich glücklich schätzen über diese kleine Wohlfühloase! Vielen Dank auch für das ehrliche Feedback zur Lounge: Ich finde es so schwierig ein gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis für Gartenmöbel zu finden. Sie müssen nun mal viel aushalten können und dabei kosten Rattan-Möbel oft mehr als ein Sofa. Da finde ich, muss die Qualität dann auch stimmen.

    Genießt das warme Wochenende auf dem Deck 🙂

  4. DDa würde ich auch jede freie Minute draussen verbringen, bei der tollen Dachterrasse. Wirklich wunderschön habt ihr es! Du kannst beruhigt sein, ich muss auch jedes Jahr die Pflanzen auf dem Balkon ersetzen. Wenn sie neu sind, dann verwöhne ich sie jeden Tag, aber im Winter gehen sie dann irgendwie vergessen. Shame on me…
    Geniess das Sommerwochende auf dem Deck! Bei uns sind leider Gewitter angesagt….
    Alles Liebe,
    Corinne

  5. It looks amazing, you have created a beautiful little oasis in the city. Having an apartment with a deck like this must be amazing 🙂 Enjoy it!

  6. Was für ein wunderschönes Fleckchen ihr da habt! Die Sicht ist ja ein Traum und deine minimalistische Anpflanzung mit den hübschen Gartenmöbeln in Kombination = Perfektion!

    Liebe Grüße
    Luisa
