Entertain In Style - Balcony Playlist

Barcelona Balconies

I'm back with our second outdoor living playlist for all of your balcony entertaining needs!  Taking a cue from the post on Tuesday about Famous Balcony Design Styles I went to France, Italy and New Orleans for some music inspiration and what I ended up with with was a mix of jazz, funk and tango.  Who needs a balcony?  I think I could put this playlist on and pretend I have gorgeous wrought iron balcony to sit on and sip a cup of coffee.  Happy balcony living!
