TO PREPARE for the arrival of our shipment, when our sofa arrives and our beanbags move to their new home on the balcony (I know, it will still be a while), we've decided to put down some snap-together patio tiles on our balcony.
It will be a nice surface to step out onto and for our beanbags to sit on instead of the ceramic tile. I love that they are close to the colour of the wood floors inside and that they create a fun pattern when they're snapped together. And they are easy to unsnap if we decide to take them with us when we leave Dubai.
Actually it's not exactly a time-consuming project - we've already started and we'll probably be done in about a half hour! But in this heat, even half an hour feels like an eternity! Got any fun projects this weekend?

Those wood floor tiles are so sharp looking! I really like the cool pattern they make when you snap them together. Another great purchase. Your place is getter cuter and cuter by the minute!

Those are great and would be a nice solution for my very tiny patio iff my bedroom. I bet they don't get as hot as the concrete either.
Those tiles are amazing! I can't wait to see it all come together for you!!!
