Black & White Patio Decor

I am so excited to soon be moving into a new apartment! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my current apartment, but am finally ready to be a bit more realistic about my priorities, and there's nothing better than a new project! Who am I, right?! The new place will allow me to gain an extra 1/2 bath (PRAISE,) a small patio space, and the ability to save a lot of money each month. These three things equal increased wellness for me and an overall happier bank account!

Currently on the hunt for fabulous (yet affordable) patio decor, you'll often find me scouring websites like Ikea and Pier 1, or visiting stores like HomeGoods and Target on a regular basis. I'm also checking out fun boutique shops during my travels, like the Little Leaf shop in Washington, D.C. Y'all if you haven't been yet, you've got to go!

This place gave me all the feels!

 

I love having patio inspiration at my fingertips, so I've created a Pinterest board to collect ideas. This has been super helpful to group photos and refer back to them while shopping. I took things a step further by requesting the measurements of the new patio, so I'm shopping for items that I truly have space to accommodate. The space is 5'3" from front to back and 8' long, which seems standard for most apartment patios.

I know I want a place to sit and relax in comfortable seating.

I want to utilize a patio rug or some type of flooring.

I also want to see greenery either in potted plants or window boxes, and I want cute accent details. In my mind, these are things like lanterns, Edison bulbs, garden stools and candles.
