i like it crowded

I have this incessant need to fill spaces. If there's an empty spot in the apartment, I put something there. While I love the minimalist approach to decorating, I'm finding out that I can't do it. It just isn't in my genetic code.
And I'm starting to wonder why I feel this is such a bad thing. I love my apartment in all its cluttered glory! So I am embrassing my rat pack ways. No more denying myself the need to fill in empty spaces!
What brought on this sudden revelation, you ask? This brilliant little balcony featured on apartment therapy.

I just love how cozy it is.

And don't even get me started on the whimsical mini paper lanterns.

My balcony is shockingly big for an apartment. I absolutely love it, but sometimes it feels so vast, like they're needs to be more on it. Some plants, a little breakfast table, maybe a fire pit... am I getting carried away?
One thing's for sure, you can never have to many twinkle lights, candles or paper lanterns. Or tiki torches... don't forget the tiki torches.
