I would like: Sheer curtains at least on the sides. You can place them easily with tension rods (top and bottom if you don't like them flying in the breeze). A rocker or glider or a small café table and chairs. A focus piece on an open wall (anchor, pineapple, oar, etc.). Possibly paint the window frames and railings a focus color. Hang some wind chimes. Plant vinca vines in pots along the railing and let them trail over.
If you really want to try gardening, you can buy Earth Boxes, which even can have wheels on them. But the bags of soil for them would be heavy to get upstairs, you'd probably need to have a helper.
make container plantings, place in a arrangement, place a bright colored outdoor carpet with a bistro set, use some tall garden decorations, attach outdoor lights, hang a wind chime
You can buy metal baskets to hold pots filled with flowers. Some fit over the railing and others attach to the rails with screws. These kind take up less floor space and don't have to be moved around.
