Patio deck tiles

Now that summer has come to an end, which I kind of am a little bit thankful for because the weather has been so hot, I finally had the chance to buy some patio deck tiles for my apartment.

What's so nice about these tiles is that they're so easy to install, instant upgraded look and you don't have to worry about putting shoes on to step out onto your deck! All big selling features for me! It definitely made me feel more confident in having someone come over and check out my patio, it made a HUGE difference. It made my boring skinny patio feel more modern and cozy, especially at night time :)

I researched a bunch of different locations on who sells decking tiles and most affordable per case. Lowes, Home Depot, and Costco were pretty much the exact same cost and were way too expensive ($30+) for only a 9 pack.. So of course I went to IKEA and got mine there.The ones I had hoped to buy were a case of 10 for $19.99 on sale, but when I got there they were all sold out!! So since I was there and was determined to walk out with deck tiles, I swallowed my pride and bought 4 cases of 9 tiles for $24.99. But after all said and done, it was well worth it! :)

Patio idea

The next thing on my list is to tackle my patio. I didn't think a little studio apartment would require so much work!!

I have some really cool ideas for my patio, stick around to see the before and after pics! It's a really long and narrow patio but it's got some potential!

Here's a picture I found on Pinterest as inspiration, love this idea and my patio is the same width...
