These are some of the romantic balconies of Montreal.  They look very nice in summer.

The last one is the large patio of a ground floor apartment.

There are many old buildings in Montreal.   Some of the most popular areas are Plateau Mont Royal, Outremont, Rosemont and of course Westmount.   Many of these houses have been family homes which now have been divided into apartments.   Some of them were already built as duplexes or apartment houses.

Here is another older apartment which just looks amazing:

A small balcony overlooking a busy street.   On the opposite side there are houses with the famous Montreal outside stairs.

The streets of Montreal start to look very nice when leaves are changing colors beginning of October.                                             

This is the beginning of fall.  Soon the streets will be full of colourful leaves.

Here a cute little apartment in Plateau Mont Royal in Montreal, where they have the stairs outside, leading up to the apartment.  This is a very famous feature of Montreal.  There are streets and streets where you see outside stairs leading up to various apartments.

 

 

I like the global Boho look with Kilim carpets and colourful cushions from India or China.  Together with exotic plants and Bamboo leaves one can really create super interiors.

HERE PICTURES FROM MY OWN HOME:

 

I always change the cushion covers and move the furniture around and this is how you can create a new look without spending money.

I found this super picture on the internet and I liked it so much I made

a copy of it.   This is NOT my picture.   This room is UNBELIEVABLE !!!!!!

I LOVE BOHO STYLE INTERIORS !!!!!

I often drive to Vieux Terrebonne, a small town north of Montreal, which is a lovely little town with ancient houses and narrow little streets, full of cafés and restaurants.    In the middle there is a very big park and a river just next to an ancient looking library.    Every time I go there I think that I am back in the last century, but in a nice way.

Here some pics

VERY EXOTIC, WITH LOW FURNITURE AND LOTS OF PLANTS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Now it is getting colder, especially during the night, and I already had to bring in some plants.   I have lots of pots of geraniums and a large hibiscus plant out there.  Perhaps a little too much.   And now I have to find a place for all of them.  It is getting a big tight here around the house.  The good thing is that I have a sunroom (which gets quite cold in winter as well) with lots of windows.   I only have to be careful in winter when the cold air comes through the glass windows and might have to move the plants again.

here a couple of pictures of my jungle :
