THANK YOU for adding the Floor Plan at the beginning!!!!

[@Jneian]

The space itself is absolutely gorgeous, but I'm not sure the designer knows the definition of a "steal"... ;)

[@ilovebeinagirl]

To all the people griping about how much money she paid, she said that she is in Canada, where the dollar is only 75% of what the US dollar is. Plus, she clearly didn't use Walmart containers, Ikea furniture or cheap Sterilite bins, so yes it is going to cost more if you go for quality rather than some rickety plastic or second-hand furniture.

[@lauraroberts6533]

I watched this a year ago and never commented because of all these NEGATIVE comments!!But even a year later I love this.The designer nailed this!!Beautiful!👍

[@vivitam5889]

I really love when they do regular sizes condo like this cuz its realistic.... beautiful design...

[@Warriorwoman75]

As a designer, I think she did a awesome job with the space (500? Feet) the designer made the space look large and airy. Tbh, the space was pretty masculine before. And if they wanted to keep that way, they would have....hence no video. But to all of the keyboard warriors out there, have fun nit picking at what designer get paid big bucks to do.... whether you like it or not. Good day

[@sherrimacdonald2157]

another thing- in Toronto this money isn't wasted. She will be able to sell this apartment and make a profit even with the added cost of reonovations.

[@deborahjones6330]

The wallpaper in the bedroom is absolutely stunning!! The entire condo is just beautiful.

[@nancylucas8555]

Your home is beautiful! Congratulations on your new home and choice of designer to help you bring your vision into fruition. Ignore those who are so negative...one comment "ultra feminine cacophony" is just the ridiculousness of someone trying to sound important. Is the kitchen ultra feminine?-NO, is the living room ultra feminine?-NO, is the bathroom ultra feminine?-NO, is the dining area ultra feminine?- NO, is the bedroom minus the wallpaper ultra feminine in all of its elements-NO. Your design is serene, soft, peaceful, elegant and will still be current in 5 years. So a statement wall paper of over sized flowers is what makes the apartment a cacophony of femininity? Over sized flower wallpapers are on currently on trend in restaurants and hotels, as well as high end homes. Most men's masculinity can handle a few flowers. How many male artists paint flowers? Quite a few. And those who say that you could have done everything for 3,000..?.? ?.a new mattress set for a king size bed is 2,500-3,500 alone, and hard wood flooring is $7-15 ($4,000 to $8,000++) a square foot before costs to install which are generally $5-10 a square foot where I live and I guess the same or higher in Toronto. Your designer saved you money on more trendy items like mirrored night stands, and invested on things lie your marble topped dining table--a style classic that has been very popular in design circles for over 50 years and will remain so well into the future. So I hope that you can ignore those who are so negative and really enjoy your new home. Thank you for sharing it with us. Blessings to you.

[@gulfgypsy]

*LOVE* the bold wallpaper in the bedroom!

[@evunee]

at the end of the day if the client's happy, then it's all good. in my opinion, 30k is a crazy amount and if everything was such a "steal" and "good bargain" then the entire thing wouldn't be 30k lmao

[@sophien5416]

Can I say that I really appreciated how the budget was mentioned in this one... This just shows why working with a designer makes such a difference. To stretch $30k to make this place look like $100k was spent. Great job!!!

[@Sarah-xw2ff]

I think the place turned out lovely and I see a lot of excellent methods the designer used. Modern builder apartments tend to be lacking in architectural details, so they added the molding on the walls to give it an upgrade in class and style. It was very effective. This increased the look of space as well. Another major rule is to allow as much light in as possible. This table and chairs works very well for this and doesn't take up much visual space. The table is timeless and cool style, so they'll always love it. Likewise with the clear vanity (again allowing unobstructed view through the window). The more visual space left around the floor area, the more spacious a place will look. This is what you have to aim for with a condo. I think the bedroom wall makes it feel cozy and gives it a lot of class. The mirrored furniture increases the look of light and space as well. The guys I have dated have always been more than happy to let me do the decorating (and foot the bill). They were too busy buying fancy electronics and taking trips. She has good taste here, it came out adorable.

[@aldralee]

It’s gorgeous! That wallpaper in the bedroom is divine.

[@MommaFromScratch]

Looks beautiful, I love the wall panels and wall paper!

[@aerialkate]

Momma From Scratch I love the wallpaper.

[@roshan9001]

Yes mom

[@annedg]

Finally! A space most can relate to! I love how brighter and bigger the main space looks! The panelling is beautiful! Wish they did something with the kitchen cabinets, though.

[@jwsuicides8095]

Anna Banana I agree. I was going to unsubscribe from H&H because the interiors were...well. This one is more like 'real life' but I do think the cost was very high for what it is. I like the panelling. Kitchen was a cop out.

[@nikkicole54321]

Anna Banana yeah i think painting them a lighter color would’ve made the space feel bigger. But maybe thats something the client may change at a later date.

[@support0408]

Thanks! I would love to change the cabinet, but didn’t have money to do so. It’s actually quite expensive to even paint the cabinet.

[@nofurtherwest3474]

Maybe you and your boyfriend can do it together. Take your time, don't rush and make sure it's done well.

[@EVL-xj5vc]

Hi Rui Min, the decor is already very beautiful and one step at a time, you can always modify the kitchen later :)

[@nicolprofittkh]

I think of prefer a less expensive dining table to upgrade the cabinetry

[@Tikciv]

Replacing the built in fridge would not have been cheap. Definitely more than the cost of the table.

[@reesemorgan2259]

Yes, I agree. For such a small space I wouldn't have spent that much for what is ultimately as functional as your average coffee table. It's a nice place though. Love the wallpaper in the bedroom and the MDF panneling in the lounge is actually really effective. I'd no idea it was relatively inexpensive to create and install.

[@brandysmith2580]

The wallpaper is a perfect focal point. It really elevates the space. Lending the perfect back drop for the yummy bedding. The use of black and white in the powder room was the perfect compliment.

[@misst.e.a.187]

Powder room? It's a darned bathroom, not not a nightclub toilet

[@surihakim9976]

Love that wallpaper. Absolutely gorgeous.

[@choosetoshine2610]

Never justify why you did something to make yourself happy! Your place is beautiful! Enjoy the journey!

[@kathleen6288]

Gorgeous! I love love love the wallpaper in the bedroom, the lucite dressing table & the bathroom. Also, the dining table. What a beauty! I love the fact that the size makes it very versatile, endless possibilities for future use. I love the paneling and how much brighter & bigger the space looks. I watched it twice, I love it that much!

[@joyoushealth]

Wow, what a transformation in a super small space. I love the wall paneling and the colour palette. It's so bright and fresh!

[@divadoll8701]

Love this space!!! Designed really well!!!

[@MsMaxinejoy]

this is very beautiful. It is clean, feminine and modern. I love the fact that it has a very airy feel. You have done a great job!

[@MommaFromScratch]

Love the whole look! You did a great job!! The wallpaper is my favorite

[@kiml5626]

One of the best small space makeovers I've seen. Just perfect!

[@simply_geri]

Lol so many comments saying this design isn’t inclusive of the boyfriend’s design, well did you ever think: 1)maybe the guy doesn’t really care. All he cares is atlest he gets to have a house to go home to. 2)maybe this is the girl’s space, she bought it and paid for it. People seriously need to stop nit-picking on what is missing and JUST APPRECIATE the work. She did an awesome job! This isn’t you girlfriend’s home. So yes just say your complaints to your gf about your space/home your living in and not here :) LMAO!

[@ladyartistejte4076]

Geremy Roxas yeah maybe the guy doesn’t mind the style and is grateful he have a house to go home to

[@BigBird104]

Preach, Geremy!!

[@ladyartistejte4076]

Mr Cloudies Best Friend hehe i hope not bec it will be weird ;-)

[@BigBird104]

Joanna Evangelista why would that be weird

[@ladyartistejte4076]

Glybirdy too feminine for a man’s taste i dont think thats USUAL...specially the bedroom...I’m not sure I like my man to have the same taste as me...liking white and neat is okay but liking girly flurry stuff I feel uncomfortable and surprised if my man would like that..I would understand if he feels uncomfortable but still stay with me because of me and not bec of the style of my bedroom...I’m totally ok if he dont like it in fact i would rather prefer that its not his style I’m fine.

[@tanyaprice6774]

Love this apartment and really appreciate Emilia's straight-forward explanation of her work! Thanks for sharing!!

[@rosulaiman]

I love it ... but I think they should have done more with the kitchen .... the brown cabinets don't fit with the style ... it's like they ran out of money and decided to to leave the cabinets

[@alliefu7499]

Yeah the countertop too, just horrific

[@vanillall1]

She can simply paint it and instantly update it

[@seattlegirl2077]

Agreed. And I normally like wood. But in this place painted them out white would have been so much better. And for those who don't like the countertops, I think they would have blended in better too.

[@hsu-hunghuang4623]

Honestly she should’ve just painted it either black brown to contrast or white to complement it smh

[@valerieann2751]

I think painting the uppers white would really open it up. I’d leave the bottom cabinets as is

[@yvetteboheme2789]

Wow. This is super nice. I loved the wall panels and floral wallpaper.

[@lilli519]

I would also like to add for those who are having a dig at the people being negative- she put it on KZbin. She said herself that it leaves anyone open to the positive and the negative. I have nothing negative to say about the apartment, a designer can make anyplace look like a place in a magazine, that’s their job and if they don’t do this, then they should not be doing this job. I am offended by the justification of the money.

[@divaonprogress7494]

Oh I love her, the ways she tell the story makes it like its a very exciting project and I just happy to hear her talking

[@amandabradley6256]

Yet again.....I can’t believe you did the whole place on that budget! Just incredible. Just stunning! It’s so pretty and that panelling ❤️

[@AfterFivepm]

This designer n Reiko are my fav ♥️

[@laurae2489]

I love all of it!

[@azabujuban-hito8085]

I love the grey and pale pink combo with touches of gold here and there. That translucent bar stools are gorgeous.

[@pamjames2161]

This is gorgeous!!! She’s an excellent designer! To the owners : enjoy your New Home!!she captured what the client wanted!! The small space doesn’t look as small now it’s light and airy and that bedroom is to die for!! I was just looking at wall murals on Wayfair yesterday! Gorgeous!

[@twaaja]

1200 for that table???? fleeced.

[@darwinmcquerter7463]

twaaja, totally agree, I actually stopped the video and said to my wife.....$1200 for this table!!!!!! Each to their own!

[@richiesd1]

twaaja, that table is a bargain. It's a Saarinen reproduction. Look it up.

[@DeviDevil]

A designer table + high quality marble... never gonna get one cheap. eyeroll.

[@1001010011001]

So...$1200 for a copied design is a bargain? Hokayyy...

[@houseandhome]

She mentioned it was custom-size, marble, and clearly stated that it was an investment piece. Investing in a well-built, timeless piece is often better than buying throw-away furniture at a fraction of the price.

[@nateli]

The decorator likes to justify whatever she bought is a bargain by using terms like "its a steal","only","not that much", "investment"....

[@tc47440]

nate li It bothered me that everything is an “investment”. Ummmm. No, it’s not. It’s a very tiny and expensive table.

[@calmingspirit1]

It bothered me that she sounds like one of those Instagram bratty girls.

[@ReikoCaron]

nate li you strike me as someone who buys a lot of disposable furniture

[@starrgreen2170]

teemoneybaby 😂😂😂

[@iaJENKA]

i agree 30k is expensive for a 500 square foot apartment.... but have you tried shopping around for furniture? all the nice things or even the semi nice things are marked up by a lot. It's not impossible but it is really hard to decorate well on a small budget... that's why when she found cheaper than normal items she called it a steal.

[@charmanehenderson4625]

That Wallpaper !! FABULOUS

[@merek8514]

i love the living room, the white wall, the couch, cushions along with the carpet. Love the use of white and pastel colors. so clean.

[@shanstuart7688]

If the clients are happy all that counts hey!

[@kareharpies]

This gave me great ideas for my future space. I will especially be looking into faux paneling. I love the living room table set as well. I really love the design but by the end I remembered she had a bf as well. But it seems based on the gf's comment below that she owns the condo alone and fronted the reno bill so it is correct that her bf has to live with her aesthetic (and lets not exclude the fact that he might love it!). They're a new couple that might break up so if its all your money, that's gotta be taken into consideration. No different from if they were living apart and he visited her place and it was designed like this. Personally, I would love to live ANYWHERE that was clean and well designed regardless of if it's my preference, so lucky guy. His friends are living in a mouldy cardboard box while he's living in a petal in the sky lol.

[@terrybear5398]

LOVE THE FLORAL WALLPAPER!

[@ceilconstante7813]

I love it! It turned out beautifully! I love the high quality pieces. Love the Moroccan bedspread! Especially against the wall paper! A very relaxing and functional living and working space!

[@taryn.b]

I wonder if the 30k includes the designers fee? Because otherwise that is a hell of a lot.

[@jlammetje]

Taryn it’s really not that much of you have an empty house/loft...

[@TarynLazinski]

I love your name bc it's the same as mine👍

[@valerieann2751]

That’s actually a great budget for all the work done. Labor is very pricey

[@miriamelizabethschultz7744]

30k is not a lot of money. Especially if you live in LA or New York. I know a doctor who has a $250,000 budget to decorate her house.

[@kaurbal3987]

It does

[@mommygarcia9137]

Looks absolutely gorgeous !! Sooo expensive looking !!

[@stacythomas7162]

Ok....the bedroom is stunning.

[@tahliayoo2584]

This is gorgeous, so inspiring! Absolutely love the wall paneling.

[@richiesd1]

Nice. Much better than that dated earthtones. I like white walls.

[@galvezzzzgaray]

Based on the apartments in Santiago, Chile. This is a Huge space... I like the panneling

[@oanabuleu2159]

I like how the lightbulb from the bedroom looks like a flower and matches the wallpaper.The details are making the place even prettier.

[@GiovannaGiav]

This designer is amazing, I love all her videos and the way she explains.

[@kalistamova5026]

she's like "it's such a small space..." bla bla and here I am sitting in my bigger space but bc hers has these big windows, I would definitely trade :D 30k is a lot tho

[@nicholep392]

You knocked it out of the park with this one! Im so serious, just amazing!

[@jackiepeavy5505]

I love this designer She uses pink in unexpected places through pillows & art great job not too girly yet luxe still😍

[@libbyadams1965]

Absolutely beautiful...open & yet warm & charming. VERY classy. Designer is talented. She was able to accomplish the look of a gorgeous home in a small space. Very creative! Love this space.

[@anneshaadams]

ohhh i loveeee thiss!!

[@CC-si3cr]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the interior decorator!!! Emilia kept it REAL! She sat down on that apartment sized sofa and let us all know how much stuff cost, how much trades people cost, and what actually went into the decor process.

[@enolagranville3882]

Absolutely beautiful

[@rimaasnawei7817]

The wallpaper is soooooo beautifullll!!

[@Savvymoon-]

By far my favorite designer. That bedroom wallpaper tho 😍 where do I get it?!!

[@franmellor9843]

Wayfair

[@zainabmejja9936]

Oh let people spend their money! Get your own little house and fill it with cheaper items. P.s. I love the decor here! And if the client (the lady who actually owns the place) loved it too, then yeiy! Mission accomplished.

[@renenu4241]

Such a beautiful design job. Wow! Love it.

[@marygreen3529]

Absolutely love the wallpaper!

[@jesussamurai8433]

I'm no "Handyman" but I installed my own backsplash and flooring by just looking at KZbin tutorials. The only time I'd hire a contractor is if it's electrical or plumbing related. But I suppose rich people just have $30,000 laying around.

[@pruzzilla3771]

I want that bedroom. Emilia is my favorite H&H decorator.

[@PtolemyXVII]

Love the wall panelling! This decorator did a brilliant job 👍🏻

[@lizascotto-armbrister5581]

I love it! I am buying a townhouse twice as bug and I am going to try and copy everything you Did! I love it that much! Ignore the negative comments. I love the wallpaper, all the furnishings, the furry stools and the clear bar stools. I think the kitchen fits with the contemporary design. Enjoy !

[@saltspress7984]

$30k is crazy

[@mysammmy]

SALTS PRESS I agree!!

[@mysammmy]

Jonathan Thomas Why you disagree? Curious. I believe in getting quality items, at discount prices. Don't get me wrong I think she did an amazing job, but 30K . It takes more time to search for reasonable prices , for whatever you're buying.

[@mysammmy]

Jonathan Thomas If you don't mind. I felt 30K was to much for such a small space I just don't see why it cost so much. She stated a couple of times some of the items were not expensive. Could it be I'm not thinking about the prices for the labor?

[@saltspress7984]

Just done a full 2 bed house with three reception rooms for half this hence my comment. Seems very high but yes labour is probably to do with the high cost as I've done most of mine myself.

[@kirbyamelia]

30k was for everything. Flooring, furniture, home items, plus labor. I work in insurance and people seriously undervalue the replacement value of their belongings and end up out thousands when they have a loss.

[@sunspicious]

All this comments about the guy possibly not liking the decor...did it appear to anyone that he actually might like it? Some men are very metrosexual and modern these days...including my own boyfriend who lives with me in a very similarly decorated apartment of 555 sq ft.

[@kpfusionblog]

Love this space! Great tips for those living in a smaller apt, and I’m obsessed with that wallpaper.

[@kamiborisova9831]

I loved the design concept and the final result, but I really loved that they shared the budget! I'm just starting with my interior design career and knowing the budget, the sq ft and the changes in the space really helps me to get a clear idea about things :) So, thanks for sharing!

[@nps3735]

*Adding up everything that you have spent on the apartment including furniture and labour it would totaled approximately 17000 Canadian dollars.

[@rankerfritz]

I love Emilia...she’s so talented..and funny

[@yvesprovencher9435]

Well done looks much bigger then it is. The design looks elegant yet comfortable.

[@jeanong7694]

500 square feet! 30,000 dollars ! Wow and more wow! I never thought it possible to have everything in 500 square feet. Even has a vanity! Amazing job! Congratulations Emilia !!

[@amberbrown5359]

Beautiful space. Host is abrasive.

[@stacythomas7162]

I could've furnished this apartment for $3000 and done just as good of a job.

[@marialevintagedotcom]

Wow !! seriously wow from drab to fab. The space looks so much bigger and alive from the wood panelling, wallpaper to the clever placements and purchases. Don't understand why anyone would even negate this.. Jealousy is a curse. Great Reno good job guys!

[@houseandhome]

Thank you, we're glad you liked it!

[@margarettodd1074]

Money well spent ......as a designer I give this thumbs up ❤️👍

[@fegrace_1]

Personally, I think $30,000 is outrageous when every other sentence the designer used included the words, "easy, only, steal, bargain, and not that much"... The majority of the budget must have went towards designer fees, because the furnitures and decor purchased doesn't look expensive. The seating would be a major issue for me because the sofa selection is petite and the rest of the seating is either hard or backless. At the end of her day, all that count is that her client is satisfied customer.

[@Must_beniceluv]

I couldn't agree more

[@rgs6236]

FE Grace I’m in agreement 👏🏾👏🏾

[@chaank1069]

FE Grace did u not hear her saying it included everything. Labor is not cheap ; forget the furniture and decor.

[@Just999Me]

@@chaank1069 This is why nothing made today will last as long or stay as timeless as the things that were made decades ago the material is cheap but the labor is so expensive. no one takes time to do intricate work over pieces or edges or trimmings anymore. And they don't last nearly as long it's sad really. We're paying more for cheaper shit that doesn't last as long or age as well.

[@ladyvee7110]

Yup, somebody got ripped off.

[@elenaboabes4539]

So so so gorgeous!!!!!!!♥♥♥♥♥

[@yyycnan]

Oh my gah!!! That flower wallpaper of so beautiful!!😍😍😍😍

[@tdbaker3564]

this is comfort ... very comfortable. an impressive job to the designer and two thumbs up to the owner for having a home with personality. as long as the owner is happy, that is all that matters.

[@alexd.2610]

In addition to the white paneling, I like the fact that the transparent chairs and vanity were used to make the room seem more spacious. People should seriously just keep it to themselves if they don't like how someone talks. You must sound like Siri if that's how you judge others.

[@MyCatsR2Crazy]

Alexandra E. If people don't want comments on how they talk or how they decorated then they shouldn't post it online

[@Funes5]

$30K???????? Crazy! I can do it for 10K and it would look just as good!

[@brendadrew834]

Great job, love it! So glamorous and classy! I myself prefer small spaces after living in bigger homes! Many advantages if you're single or just a couple or a retired person living by oneself or with a couple of pets! Love the coziness of smaller spaces. I feel lost in big trophy homes! That floral wallpaper in the bedroom is sensational and makes a great impact and for some reason doesn't seem to overpower the room. Also love that little kitchen! Small kitchens, less space to clean up, ditto for the rest of the place! Thanks for sharing~

[@OnlyLoveCan38]

Wow! Great value with supreme functioning. I can't believe the entire thing for the budget.

[@cyclist20]

I love how she calls the table ‘an investment’. An investment is something you can recover your cost and then some. I very much doubt you would manage that with that table. Why not just call it what it is ; expensive for a simple table...

[@ccxcxz4377]

There are actually several meanings to the word investment.. Like many words. A furniture investment, for example, can simply mean a well built, quality piece with a hefty price tag, but also a very long shelf life. Buying a cheap table, could mean a few years use before the thing is unsightly, stained and worn, needing to be replaced with likely yet another 'cheap' item. This marble table will be good as new for years/decades, that they could take from home to home. This type of investment is a 'one-and-done' rather than purchasing cheaper 'throw-away' items that need replacement after a couple months/years.

[@sarahholland1375]

Agree. Plus it's going to look very dated very quickly.

[@evelynharyono]

I bet Mr kate can somehow make it happen under $300

[@vliciouss]

Evelyn Evelyn she can install new wood flooring, tiling, pay for the labor/plumbing and decor for $300 ????

[@131Defiance]

Paris Azul Things definitely do become MUCH cheaper when you do the labor yourself 🤷‍♂️. I could of done this whole house for 10% of what these people paid, especially considering a lot of the shit was not needed. $1200 for a coffee table? Lmfao gtfo with that Hell you could buy a decent house for $30k in a lot of nice areas, and with the amount im sure they pay for rent, they could invest into making said house better. Spending $30k to renovate a fucking STUDIO APARTMENT that they probably pay $1500 a month for plus utilities is called high-class stupidity lol

[@vliciouss]

Josh Ryan you could’ve but it’s not your apartment is it ? This is what the owner wanted to spend.

[@vliciouss]

Keep in mind it’s Canadian dollars so it was actually 23,000 in American price.

[@Pepsi_Please]

ummmm... no. 😘

[@Caimille]

Love the space, so beautiful! I especially like the paneling and the wallpaper in the bedroom.

[@roxyagogo0810]

So bright and beautiful! Love the healthy vive the place gives out💓

[@DonnaJoshi]

Spent way too much! U could have done it yourself together and saved alot.

[@allwhatilove914]

That's what everybody thinks and yet their houses do not look chic and well decorated. I was always thinking the same too, until I made my first project with an interior designer. They had solutions and ideas that I could never have. And I have good taste and made some beautiful houses (I am own a construction company and also a ''House Collector'' - i have 8 houses for myself in different countries). I'm never decorating a house by myself again. It's just not the same.

[@naynesia4953]

It's perfectly fine if you want to do it your self, nobody say you couldn't. But some people feels the need to get help from profesionals, what's wrong with that? Your statement as if you underestimate the designer profesion. Client spent extra money to get profesional taste and knowledge, that's fair.

[@ilovebeinagirl]

If you CAN do it yourself. Hell, you could do your own hair, your own root canal, sew your own clothes too if you could do it yourself, but how many people can?

[@ricphoenix4578]

I like the design for the client but I prefer a more minimal/clean lines style. However, If the client is happy and chose the concepts presented to her then its great. The colours are very nice and that flower wallpaper is amazing in the bedroom...its a WOW factor. The bathroom was amazing as well. What did you do with the small balcony ? That small outdoor space is important too. Great job on a small space. I hope there are more shows apartments up to 1000sq meters

[@RockWatunabi]

[@MusicaErika]

I love this decorator work, beautiful transformation and use of each inch on the space.

[@nlauderdale]

Amazing, Amazing Job! Looks more than $30,000. You certainly worked a lot of magic. It's a place anyone would be proud of.

[@ashurgeorge4604]

Pretty epic for the price

This looks like the girl and the designer had a pow wow over her pinterest boards and then this ultra feminine cacophony came out and the guy just walked in the door at the end like "OH!...Well we just spent 30, 000.00, so I guess it's great! "

Or he doesn't care. I keep my decor pretty simple, but I'm always changing things up, rearranging, etc. Mostly my husband doesn't even notice unless furniture has been moved. It's like being nose-blind to a smell to him.
