Great place. It's not about the space, it's more about using the space and making it feel like home. That's great organization considering you just moved. In a few month's time, it'll be even better

That's what I think too, if you're thoughtful about placing furniture and decorating, even a small space can become very liveable and comfortable!

Happy Friday everyone! I'm finally settled in my new place. I've been renting for almost 5 years prior to this, and never felt like putting in too much effort in furnishing it, because I knew one day I'd move out. It will be fun to slowly furnish it with new items and make it my own! What kind of place are you living at now? Are you renting, thinking of buying your own place, or already have? Let me know in the comments, I'd love to hear from you! Btw, I've listed some of the items I've bought on Amazon over the years that I found really useful and affordable, you can check them out in the descriptions!

Hey gyus!! I’m from South Korea, and I don’t know why your video suddenly I can see. I guess I have lived in Toronto before. But I came back Korea for now. 😥 Actually I sometimes miss there. So your video makes me remind my toronto life! Thankss and have a nice day! From 🇰🇷

Yeah, at first it seems like a tiny space, but it really depends on the layout and the way you furnish it! And of course, the large windows helped!

Congratulations!! 🎉 You guys have done well with making use of your 400 square foot Studio Apartment! We too (Hubby & I) live in a 400 square feet Studio Apartment. We absolutely LOVE it!! 💕💕💕💕 The only thing I find challenging is only having 1 Closet. So that has been a adjustment. But we LOVE how bright it is, how easy it is to clean,our neighbors and neighborhood and the affordability!! It's nice to see other Couples living in something similar 🤗. Hope you find a coffee table. I found a really nice tufted round one on Wayfair. I LOVE it!! 😊💕
@LivinginCanada Жыл бұрын
Thank you! Nice that you also enjoy studio life! Yup, having 1 closet is challenging, but it really forces us to thoughtful of what we buy. For each piece of clothing that gets added, at least one has to leave (at least, that's the rule!!). So far it has gone well though. Less stuff, more time for other things! Will find that coffee table soon!

1:25 I would have placed the bed facing the other way, so the closet is not behind the backboard and then placed TV stand next to the closet door to its left. In other words, the bed headboard against the wall and part of the window and the bed footboard facing the closet door. Only drawback is the TV would not be directly in front of you, but still a better set up, I think. Congrats on your new place!

Hey LIC. I think you're putting a lot of effort to make your channel grow. The small advice/feedback I would like to give is, create some nice theme and some nice music for your channel with every start of the video. Something catchy. Also be more energetic/enthusiastic in your videos. Atm you sound a bit tired/sad too much toned down. I like your channels so wanted to give something that might help it grow.

which neighborhood is the safest in Toronto?
@LivinginCanada Жыл бұрын
I think Toronto is relatively safe (on a global scale), despite many recent concerning events. Hard to tell which is 'safest', I'd say it's easier to say which areas are sketchy. From what I heard, Regent Park is one of the areas to avoid, especially at night. Maybe I should make a video about this some day!

Rent about $2,300 (below that you'd need to look outside of the core of Toronto), to buy, in the high 400s or low 500s.

@@LivinginCanada unfortunately that is very true about Toronto and it has always been like that. I am in Montreal and have had relatives in Toronto all my life so I have been very well aware of how crazy the market is over there from Wayback in the 90s. We had a friend who went to school there and at the time was renting a basement apartment for over $1000. I had caught in your video that you were paying that price. I just hadn’t realized it was that tiny. You’ve done a wonderful job of maximizing your space and I am sure it is in a wonderful location where you can enjoy so many things outside your home as well.
