My tiny Toronto bedroom.

Aug 05, 2010 23:02

Hello everybody! I'm Kaly, I'm 21, and I live in Toronto.

my bedroom is TINY. so in preparation for moving in I got rid of half of my stuff, and I have to say, it feels amazing not to be weighed down by stuff! :D

( this is actually the smallest space I've ever lived in. )

painting, colors: white, room: small room, modern, colors: red, minimalist, hello kitty, white walls, bed: single, frames/ framing, jewelry

Where about in Toronto do you live?
I imagine this very tiny space being pretty expensive for its size.
I'm moving out next year in Toronto and I'm so afraid of the prices.
But I really like what you did with your tiny space, really cute.

I went from $1492 in rent to $900. Apartment building living is great but they raise the rent on you every year until youre like "HOLY CRAP ITS HOW MUCH NOW?"... especially downtown.
And we have alot of those "looks really good on the internet or newspaper type apartments, when in reality the property management is sketchy and omg I moved into a neighborhood filled with crackheads and hookers". Theres alot of that here. lol

Yeah I totally know.
I live in he area, but I haven't moved out into an apartment so I'm like, super scared of prices for crappy apartments.

I lived in the Bloor/Dovercourt area in a building and the prices just skyrocketed. I would look for new apartments and put in my notice but then not find anything decent and have to stay. Happened twice. When they put the parking spot to OVER $70 a month, and were talking about adding a garbage fee, I knew it was time to go.
I moved out to Scarborough in a nice area and I have the whole top floor of a pub. Almost double the space for $500 less. I love it.
What area do you live in?

I live in The Junction! It's a three bedroom and it's costing us $1800 a month, but thats utilities included, ac, and ensuite laundry. Also the common areas of the apartment are HUGE which is great because we all love to entertain. :) I guess tiny bedrooms is a fair tradeoff for huge common areas. lol

wow that's pretty good for that area!
i think your aparment's smallness is what makes it cute.

I know! We got really lucky. The landlord also knocked quite a bit off the price due to the weird layout of the place (one of the rooms is weirdly long and narrow) and the random sliding glass door. lol

I agree that it's smallness makes it cuter and much cozier. If it were bigger I think I'd want to paint the walls. I kind of wish I could have a bigger bed though.
