After a year of living in her New York apartment, her landlord was pleasantly surprised by the upgrades she made.
When she first moved in, her concrete balcony overlooking the city was bare and dilapidated.
Of $40 astrograss from Amazon, they quickly the atmosphere changedallowing it to reach its “full potential”.
She cut the artificial grass to the shape of her balcony floor and placed the grass mat in its cozy dimensions.
After some maneuvering and measuring, she had the perfect fit.
A few garden chairs later, her garden oasis was ready for lounging.
“Maybe from now on we will call all balconies gardens,” she joked, adding the hashtag #renterfriendly.
The soft ground was great on sunny days and Katie made the most of the good weather by doing her yoga on the balcony.
Best of all, cleaning the turf was easy with a vacuum cleaner.
Viewers were shocked by her eye and home decor gift.
“You are every landlord’s dream tenant! Beautiful work,” said one commenter.
“It seems to me he would want to work with you to do all the other units,” another agreed.
