From Dorothy Ainsworth
A balcony deck is a pleasant and inviting place to get a breath of fresh air, lounge and sip, pet the cat, read the paper, listen to the birds, and enjoy the view. From your elevated perch, you can watch the sunrise, gaze at the stars, or howl at the moon.
The charm and appeal of a deck is that it lets you go outside without leaving the house. It provides a seamless transition from indoors to outdoors without putting a foot in the dirt, and that makes it feel as good as it looks.
In my opinion, there’s not a second story room in any house that wouldn’t be enhanced by adding a deck to it. Why not step out onto the balcony deck of your bedroom, stretch, yawn, and greet the day … barefoot and in your bathrobe if you like? — Dorothy Ainsworth
