      I love those light bulbs! Where can I find those? I love your video.

    • @MareikeSophie
      @MareikeSophie  Před 4 lety +1

      Thank you so so much! We got them from a local german hardware store and unfortunately I can’t find similar ones on amazon right now, only ones that are attached to a string and can’t be hung individually :/

      these are kind of similar ones I was able to find on amazon, hope that helps! 😊🌸

    This project is so cool I love it... And the fact that they planned to plant their own veggies even better... Should DIY my own

    • @MareikeSophie
      @MareikeSophie  Před 4 lety +1

      Thanks! We had so much fun 😊 you should definitely diy your own it’s fun and makes you so proud to look at the results after! 🌸

  • @jenznwachukwu4275
    @jenznwachukwu4275 Před 4 lety +5

    Great job 👍🏽. Some small white pebbles on the boarders of the floor would have been a great option - which would add interest and dimension to the floor. But well done 👍🏽

    • @MareikeSophie
      @MareikeSophie  Před 4 lety

      Thanks! 😊 I appreciate your comment. We simply went with a solution that is easily removable for the floors since we’ll move out of the appartment within the next year or so. For a permanent house / appartment pepples are definitely also a great idea and look! 🌸💞

    • @BlackStorm555
      @BlackStorm555 Před 2 lety

      The reed wall clashes with the floors. I like your suggestion of the stones.

  • @girlathebeach
    @girlathebeach Před 4 lety +2

    I really enjoyed your video.I have been thinking about growing some herbs and vegetables on my balcony but was a little nervous.You've inspired me to do it! I love the vibe of your video and your style.

    • @MareikeSophie
      @MareikeSophie  Před 4 lety +1

      Thank you so so much!
      Growing herbs yourself is something so fun and easy to do- just make sure they are in a somewhat protected place and don’t get hit with heavy rain / winds 😊 I am so happy you liked it and I appreciate your comment 💞🌸

    @plaxtico Před 4 lety +1

    Wow you were so lucky on the length of the tiles, they literally fit perfectly, and the fact that you could cut the tiles along the preformed ridge to fit them in the last space between the tiles and the wall was even luckier! overall really enjoyed this project! Keep it up.

    Brilliant makeover, you even have space underneath your barbecue to put a container with the cooking items in.

  • @sarahholland1375
    @sarahholland1375 Před 4 lety +1

    Very cute. I'd prob just paint the nasty iron edges on the balcony wall white tho as white really sets off plants & it'd make it feel bigger.

    • @MareikeSophie
      @MareikeSophie  Před 4 lety +1

      Thanks! I would have loved to paint it, but since the space is rented we were not allowed to do permanent changes. Everything has to be revertable 😊

    Can you please tell me where can I find that small grill !??

    • @MareikeSophie
      @MareikeSophie  Před 4 lety

      Hi! We got the small grill from a german hardwarestore. I found a similar one here on amazon
      Round Mini Barbecue in Black
      www.amazon.de/dp/B00KK1POPU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QRLUEb78WEAP6
      I also know that the brand Weber makes similar ones 😊😊🌸

    This is the first video I have watched of yours.I just love it! I am listening to your voice and your accent sounds familiar. It reminds me of my family. Dutch? German?

    • @MareikeSophie
      @MareikeSophie  Před 4 lety +3

      Thank you!! Yes I am german 😊 and still living in germany but planning on moving to the US soon with my fiancé! 💞🌸
      where is your family from?

    • @christinedunn8860
      @christinedunn8860 Před 4 lety +2

      Ohhhhhh the U.S. that's great! My family is Dutch, they came to Canada in the 1950's from the Hague, Holland.

    • @MareikeSophie
      @MareikeSophie  Před 4 lety +1

      Canada sounds so nice as well, I have only been to Toronto and the Niagara Falls but I loooooved it. Would love to live there one day too 😊😊

    German not caring about their balcon? Never esp in the spring time. Oh I miss KiBa drink hehehe

    • @MareikeSophie
      @MareikeSophie  Před 4 lety

      Hahaha I know we are known for keeping the balconys in proper shape 😅 It was time to put some work into the space 😊🌸
      And LOL to the KiBa comment 😅 my fiancé named the dog, he is nor from germany and wouldn’t believe me when I told him that everyone would think we called the dog after the drink 🙈🙈😂

    Beautiful transformation! What is the width of the balcony?

    • @MareikeSophie
      @MareikeSophie  Před 4 lety

      Thank you! It is about 1m in width, so pretty small :)

  • @maplekiba6646

    Awesome job. How long did it take?

    • @MareikeSophie
      @MareikeSophie  Před 4 lety

      We got it done within a day, but preparing the little things beforehand took some time :)

  • @tracystarling3280
    @tracystarling3280 Před 4 lety +4

    Nice job! Are those veggies going to be okay without drainage?

    • @MareikeSophie
      @MareikeSophie  Před 4 lety

      Thanks! They do have a layer of small stones on the bottom underneath the soil. That’s where excess water can go so it does not need a drainage :)

    • @arora23
      @arora23 Před 4 lety +2

      @@MareikeSophie It will need drainage holes. Stones at the bottom just push water back up into the soil and causes roots to rot. I lost many plants before learning this. 😢

    • @MareikeSophie
      @MareikeSophie  Před 4 lety +1

      My mom, grandma and me have had many plants like this and it never was a problem. They all stayed healthy and with the right amount of water it worked just fine 😊😊

  • @ron9105
    @ron9105 Před 3 lety

    Could you please tell me how many tiles you needed for the entire balcony? I am planning to install my balcony.

    • @MareikeSophie
      @MareikeSophie  Před 3 lety

      Hi, that depends on the size of the balcony. We needed 36 of the 4x4 pieces from Ikea plus some spare to cut around the door and the side of the balcony.

    @nayabtarique1655 Před 4 lety

    How did you attach the reed wall?

    • @MareikeSophie
      @MareikeSophie  Před 4 lety +1

      We drilled screws into the balcony walls and attachen the reed over them. We thought about using cable ties as well, but found the screes to look prettier 😊
