Hmm.. U can take a trip to Ikea and look out for out door seating ideas...

They have new section for out door seatings...

Currently I put a dining table there instead cos its erm.. nearer to the TV ...

But most of the time, I mark my books there instead of eating there... Eating is always at the coffee table =p

Hehhe...

good alternative...but maybe i am not clear enough. What i meant is the blind or awning for the big balcony area that can block the rain from splashing into the balcony when it rains.

To prevent rain from splashing in, your options are pretty clear, either retractable rolling blind or fixed awning. Fixed awning only one time cost, whereas u need to consider maintenance cost for retractable one.

Instead of fixed awning.. I have seen some EM owners who actually put a full height window at their balcony all the way up to the ceiling outside the window of the MBR window...

It allow entrance of natural light as well..

Kinda nice too..

maintanence wise... i m still thinking of how they clean their window... where they put their a/c conpressor =D

Isn't it like a green house, won't it be super hot? Especially MBR no ventilation from the windows only get wind from front door, i see no air circulation.

Green House... True...

I was even thinking its a good idea after solving the a/c compressor problem... haha

Some how it reminds me of my tenant for my Utility room...

cos my prev owner bought the whole recess area up...

outside her room windows, is my recess area with another set of windows

Kinda sianz...open window must open 2 sets..

Poor ventilation =p

Throw throw and throw more stuff. And the rest will be able to fit in. :P Or else, build more storage. Like mine, I built full height storage at my foyer for shoes at bottom and books/DVDs/stationary/umb/etc at the top. A cupboard in wash area to store toilet paper/cleaning liquids/hangers/laundry stuff. More storage in MBR for our personal stuff.

So far, we only keep vacuum cleaner, trolley, my hb's suitcase (mine can fit into my wardrobe), extra paint/tiles, cooler box, extra foldable chairs in our little storeroom. :)
