Thanks for watching guys!! ❤️ How have you been passing the time at home? It is nice to have a lot of time to clean and organize, my house certainly needs it haha.

I would never be able to givs purin back, she's so adorable

Managing to cut those tiles with those cheap scissors is already a feat worth a like :D

You did well. That balcony looks 100% better. It might look bigger if you painted the wall a light color.

Sharla, you need some fairy lights to tie the balcony together!!! And maybe a big ass candle on the table :)

That "if i ever get my cats back" hit me right in the feels ;-;, i miss them af

Honestly putting the tiles the way you have them elongates your balcony and makes it look bigger! :)

Purin is the most disney esque cat i have ever seen . Luna and maro are a veeeeery close second . So adorable .

Looks so lovely after! We used these tiles for our patio area but didn't cut any down as too lazy, we added small white pebbles around the edge instead. It was to hide concrete underneath. Worked really well apart from the birds love playing and messing up the stones lol

Re do the flooring layout and position all in center then You can border with rocks it adds a nice natural outdoor space. You don't have to cut them. The cat will love to lay on the rock. I so admire your adventurism moving to Japan. Take care :*))

Kitty cats are the best assistants. They sleep in the cardboard boxes. Totally essential to any project 😺

Very NICE... Put a couple small chair pillows and a throw blankets over one chair. Can you nail the pot onto the rail of the belcone and then put the plants in. A nice windchime would be a nice sound. The possibilities are endless ! I am a Interior Decorator, it's the small things that add the touch in any areas.💞

You can fill the gap with some fake grass matress to give the fresh garden look. I loved how your balcony turned out 😍

"This is not as easy as everyone made it out to be on KZfaq" sounds like the videos on how to cut your own hair :D

I have the exact same flooring on my balcony, took me a whole afternoon to make, and in the end I was three tiles short. Two years later and I still haven't bought three more tiles. But they really do make the balcony pop and makes it a lot cosier. Love how yours turned out too

OHHH, i absolutely adore videos like this, they're so satisfying! and this just proves that any tiny space can be brightened up a bit!! i'll be looking forward to more home improvement videos 💛 i recently re-painted my bedroom a light pastel purple and white combo and got one of those ikea pegboards for my desk area, it looks so much cuter and brighter now

Nice! Hey Sharla, I had an idea to level out the dip in the flooring when it goes into the water drain/canal. Did you throw away the surplus planks that you trimmed off the pieces? Maybe you can use those to put underneath the last bit of the flooring, right in the water drain. I think it's just about deep enough for what I can see in the video. If not, maybe you can separate the plastic from the wood and put either one of those (whichever fits better under the tilted flooring). Hope that can help! It would make the balcony feel a bit bigger AND help with leveling out the chairs of other furniture that you might place there!

I love seeing Purin in the videos! Those tiles have caught my eye every time I go to Ikea so looking forward to see what you do with them! (Watching while commenting!) :D

So pretty!!! I got fake eucalyptus, lavender, and little baby white flowers and put them all together in a vase and it looks really nice!

Aww Purin makes me miss Maro and Luna so much 😭 I hope yall are reunited soon! Stay safe, Sharla 😊

I know this video is old but as someone with rheumatoid arthritis who was considering getting this flooring, I appreciate your honesty about how hard it was to install. There’s no way I’d be able to snap them together

Lovely video, my wife and I get so excited when your notifications pop. Balcony looks so much nicer. Maybe you could pop some loose pebbles over the bit you couldn't fill with the slats? I've been gardening to pass lock down time here in the UK, very chill. PS. Saw your name in the credits for Shin Godzilla last night! So funny! We had to catch up on your video explaining why!!

Being in quarantine since March 11 here in Greece , I deff had a lot of time to do some DIY around the house especially in the beginning. Now don't really have the motive and hope for all this to end really soon ! Stay safe !! Love your channel!

Your videos are so calming and make me happy to watch. Thank you!

This is cool. Didn't know Ikea had these things. I think maybe I'll upgrade my balcony after seeing this as well.

I love how many people are doing full balcony makeovers lately! SO MANY PLANTS! I love it!

thats such a cozy improvement :3 when not studying i've been mostly reading but also cleaning my closets/cabins and tried to make somewhat of an orginazation in their.

So cute! The wood 'tiles' are perfect! Ive been doing lots of organizing, cleaning out closets and such. I added some twinkle lights around my patio furniture which lets me read in the evenings 🌛

that looks so cute! kitten is adorable! why not put the big plant on the inside of the balcony door on the right side, you can enjoy the plant there or a taller tree would look good?

You've just proven that a little effort went a long way toward making a VERY small space multifunctional and visually appealing. Beautifully done. What are the rules regarding the use of small tabletop Hibachi grills on the patios? There was a video on the Life Where I'm From's channel where he was invited to a family's house for a meal with charcoal grilled food. He mentioned that there were smell ordinances in his community, so outdoor grilling was not easy to do. I could see you and a friend or a visiting family member sitting on the patio happily chatting while grilling your food of choice. The recipes for grilled vegetables and fruit kababs are many. I loved my Hibachi when I lived in Atlanta.

What a difference. Looks warm and cute.

I love it, it looks even more cozy and comfortable!

'cocoa in Japan' did the same tile makeover a week ago. She use pebbles to fill in the gaps. Maybe you can look it up for reference. Q - are the tiles and the furniture waterproof?

I recently set up a Kallax system to display my favourite books/figures/photos etc. I also completely reorganised everything in my house and would love to see you do something similar! PS: you could try taking another plank or two off where you cut to fit the pipe, slide the whole thing a bit more to the left so it reaches the wall (left when facing from inside to outside) and possibly squeeze in another 3 squares on the right side by your neighbour. But it looks great!

Love how things are always cool, easy positive and cute with you! Great ideas for the balcony, so easy and simple, yet so perfect

My wife and I enjoyed this video! Really like your balcony chairs.

Definitely thought Purin was a pun on 'Purring' :)

A table that hooks over the balcony, instead of the leggy type you have, would definitely offer more space. I'm not certain that it's a thing, but maybe if I can get my AC diy skills to transfer to real life, I'll be a the forefront of a new trend lol

Happy birthday, Sharla! May friends and family (virtually) fill your day with love. May you have many more birthdays. And may you stay forever young.

Stepping on them will help, the proper cutting tool can do magic as well. The result came out really well!

Before: Sharmander After: Sharmleon NICE EVOLUTION , you're amazing!!!

So cute!! Everything about your vlogs is so cute too!

I love those tiles on the balcony! It really freshens it up and makes it look amazing! 💜

Looks good and yea brightened up that spot

Looks very nice the balcony! Also love the central piece in your living room: Elon Mush smoking a joint. For the balcony: You could consider re-using the left-over wooden pieces from cutting the tiles to size as filler in the gutter. You may get rid of the slope the tiles give that way. Unsure if it will be stable though but it may be worth a shot. Also, maybe you could hang some plant from the drain pipe! May look cute :)

You posted this just in time for my lunch break 😊 I work in a grocery store and it’s starting to get worse here. KZfaq’s really been helpful for me plus Animal Crossing ❤️

バルコニーの下に敷くパネルもピッタリ。チェアーにテーブル、観葉植物置いて、綺麗に整いましたね。Good DIY。😃👍

Did an awesome job !!! new Flooring can always brighten up any place ..I love how independent you truly are...I'd use siding shears they will cut anything pretty much😁

Such a cute little home and Balcony! Would love to live there, like its everything you need :D

Ikea has great fake plants. I have them all over my apartment as well and my kitties thankfully leave them alone. Seeing Purin today was such a nice surprise! She is the cutest!

I’d like a video on what you do for fun while indoors. Also would love to know more about your wardrobe. I like your choice in clothes. Are you studying any topics while at home? Where would you most want to go when this is over as far as travel within Japan? Do you ever scrapbook or journal? Not trying to be nosy just offering some suggestions. Great vid. Loved the balcony!

Great job. The outcome really made a lovely difference

Ayy! Stay safe and have fun at home! I wish I could go to Japan!!!

I was just rewatching your grocery haul video for the 4th time when you posted this 😂

I love makeover videos! 😍 the balcony looks so good 👏🏻❤️

Looks really cozy, a great upgrade

Wonderful! ❤ (To have a tiny balcony is better than no balcony...) 😀

I wish my friends would drop their pets off at my place when I'm off work. This lock-down here in the UK has really made me want to get a dog! Amazing transformation and hope you enjoy making use of your new outside space.

It looks so good. The extra seating extends your living room beautifully.

Ah🖤🖤🖤 it's so lovely! Really makes the space out there look cosy and works well with the rest of the house as you say making it look more spacious, really love the flooring too, nice one for diy-ing it all yourself 🤙🤙 did a great job!

Hey You ve finally Evolved. Congratulations 😃😃😋. Can't wait to see you take flight as a Sharizard 🤣

OMG yes! Ryuji and I were looking at these! They look so nice! We have three balconies in this apartment but we want one where we can sit and relax or even BBQ!

Balcony is nice, even if its tiny it's nice getting out and enjoying the weather, and using the space to it's full potential

After living here in Yokohama for five years, I also finally tackled the balcony. The hammock I bought in Cambodia is definitely a win.

I recently reorganised my closet (changing where my shelves are and which clothes go where) and it feels so much more organised now! I also gave away/donated some clothes that I don't wear anymore. Planning to slowly go through my house and reorganise stuff so I will be a bit happier in the place I currently spend so much time in!

your elon musk shrine caught me off guard I cantt

I love what you did with your balcony! And Purin is the cutest little helper ever! 😘

I LOVE HOW IT TURNED OUT!!

As a Swede, I see IKEA, I press like ！Also! What an adorable cat!

I’m sitting here wondering how long you’re gonna have to keep all that packaging in your house until it’s the proper day to take it out 😂 thank you for this it looks super cute and homey

Great job! So glad the chairs fit!

Hi, you did a very nice work in your balcony! My wife and I will be moving in to a new apartment late this month, and we have a balcony where we would like to do something on it, following your idea and with the main purpose of enjoying these spaces for a nice weekend breakfast, reading a book or just relax there or in a hammock! Thank you so much for sharing your ideas to us.

Most people: I re-decorated in Animal Crossing Sharla: I made Animal Crossing into real life.

Am feeling depressed but thank you for video Sharla at less i have something to enjoy for few min

Thanks for continuing to make content during this time, it's nice to see the different types of videos that you have been making!

You could have a long thin planter on your table that runs alongside the balcony wall & maybe plant herbs in there or use it to hold candles.

I still giggle every time I see your Elon Musk photo, on the wall.

IKEA should have a service called "Call a Swede" and someone from the store comes over and helps put stuff together.

Fill in the empty spaces near the tiles with gravel!

Oh they look cool!

Sharla you should do a animal crossing video maybe a island/house tour! :D I recently got the game and it's so addicting ^.^

ive been sewing masks for friends and family in my spare time. Your balcony is super tiny and cute!

Nice set up! Very cozy and a bummer about the plant stand.

It looks so cute you have such nice taste love how it turned out!

I almost never post a comment but I’m trying to change that. I’m trying to give the people I follow support! I’m super happy that you are good, it’s a great time to redecorate (on animal crossing or at home 😜) and I love Purin! I’m learning Japanese to go on adventures there! I hope we can meet whenever that happens! As for Maro and Luna, hang in there girl! This too shall pass! I’m hopping to have a comeback on to your Patreon! 🎉 and tell you a little more about myself! I really enjoy your videos Sharla! またね!

As a Joe Rogan Fan and an Elon Musk fan, love the picture you have on the wall @ 11:06 . Really like the balcony make over, it gave me some ideas for my backyard patio, thx!

This really brightened up my morning!

I've been thinking about doing this to my balcony for ages 😍 looove it I'm busy with work lately but keeping busy after by cleaning/cooking & crafting!! Take care Sharla!

The elon musk portrait is interesting, think it was that time he was on the rogan podcast smoking.haha Still pretty neat none the less.

What kind of cat is Purin??? She’s adorable!

Oh wow! Your balcony turned out so cute! Great job. 😻

Simple DIY and turns out beautiful. Candle for night breeze comfort would be relaxing. Great job Sharmeleon.

I'm not a big cat fan but your kitty is so cute! Edit: ok so not your car but even so. Cutest cat I've ever seen! I wouldn't mind having a cat like that 😊

Love the balcony, also love the picture of Elon Musk smoking a joint on the wayll at 12:01

Super nice result! 🥰😘

I absolutely love your new balcony!! I’m really into keeping a diary and journaling so I think this would be the best place to hang out and drink some tea 🍵

That Elon musk photo is everything! I NEED IT lol

Tbh, I think 1 chair would be totally fine, don’t really see why that second one is needed

Loved this type of video!!

Beautiful balcony ☀️ You have made a great choices and my favourite is the floor!
