I’ve been MIA for a week working on putting together my kickass new condo. It took a lot, but I’m there, I’m in love and here are pics =o)

The view, one of my favourite things about this place.

Aaand – the condo. I’m proud to say I designed it from scratch, almost everything is new and I did it for under $5000. It accomodates everything Tito and I love to do while still making a small condo feel calm, open and comfortable.

  • Couch – easily the most expensive thing. Pavillion on Queen West – $1600
  • Accent chair – Pier 1 – $299
  • Rug – IKEA – $29
  • Mirror – Pier 1 – $200
  • Accent table – got from an antique store that was going out of business for $400
  • Dining table and chairs – IKEA – $475
  • Expedit bookshelf – IKEA – $229 for the big one, $69 for the narrow one by the easel.
The bookshelf is the realm of organized clutter.
The Tito-zone
The bedroom – bright and airy with a view that’s heaven to wake up to.
My knitting/reading/guitar playing corner
Swift table and working area
Left to right – Tito, my uncle Len and my dad enjoying the balcony.
There it is! My own sweet little piece of downtown Toronto. It’s been a rough year, but totally worth it =o)
