I’d love to see some quirky maximalist tbh. Some of these homes are starting to look similar with the “neutral tones but with spaces they have warmed up with more neutral tones”.
I saw this comment on another interior design channel but the style /designs you’re seeing are very “North American”. For example I live in the UK and maximalism is the THING right now. More is more is more. This Scandi / Minimal look was hugeee here about 5-7years ago. I think when they start to go to other countries/places we will see some differing aesthetics. Fingers crossed!
I agree with @Woman Inread, which is why I’ve been following “Design Notes” on House & Garden’s CZcams channel. Those videos offer a much-needed departure from the neutral-upon-neutral looks that dominate US and Canadian home tour videos. There’s so much more to design; let’s celebrate a wider design palette!
@@captblk omg thank you for this! Am a maximalist, hate minimalist and open floor concept. So this recommendation helps
It's ridiculous to have a dining table where you are afraid to eat. Either cover it in some way or get another table.
I’ve seen this kind of thing in other CZcams home tour videos. It’s as if some people are more concerned with having something that might impress others than having something that actually functions.
My idea of "warming the space up" is very different from hers.
Lol right?
When she said that I rolled my eyes lol
this is the coldest home I've seen on this series lmao
My eyebrows just touched my hairline when she said that
Thank god I'm not alone.
Every single one of the Toronto ones has the round H&M donut vases. I love them, but it makes me laugh a bit.
love the toronto spotlight! However, I think it's important to note that toronto is one of the most expensive North American cities to live in and these homes being featured are nowhere near the norm for most young people living here.
Hear me out, what about an Atlanta based episode of "My Sweet Digs" 🤔
The two office chairs at the same desk made me lol ... I could never work alongside someone like that!
White couches, white pourous table.. that place would look like a crime scene with kids 😆
😂😂😂😂
I love her little reading nook under stairs ☺️
So far I’ve loved all of the homes that have been featured in Toronto - every one has such gorgeous living spaces. It’s so nice seeing you guys feature homes outside of the US... especially when they’re in your home city 😉
Agree
for sure!
Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment ,now is the best time to invest and make money 💯
@Sondra Couturier Most intelligent word I've heard
Cry'pto is the new gold
I wanted to trade crypto but got confused by the fluctuations in price
As a plant hoarder all I saw was potential for a jungle! I felt her home was cold and dry. Maybe it was her personality but I did not feel a warm and welcoming vibe from this house.
omg I had the same thought! Imagine all the cacti that can thrive there!😂
@@sophiaottley7203 So if you both had the opportunity, where all in this space would you add plants? And what types? Just interested to know plant decor ideas.
When she tried to justify how small it is by saying the kitchen is close the living room 😆
I like it! Love the light fixtures and all the unique mirrors I noticed were gorgeous. I def would not call this space warm, everything is very white and cool toned.
That home decor and design is gorgeous
Beautiful home and styled so well! Wow this girl has mad talent.. obsessed with her kitchen ceiling light!!!
Why do you promote these videos as rentals when they are home owners?
For all of that space, the kitchen feels so small.
This apartment is really beautiful, but it faces a highway... 😔 I can't imagine the noise coming from it, they must keep the windows closed all year long.
SUCH a beautiful space!! She explained the design so well and the story behind it 🙌🏼
This home is very light and airy. I love it.
omg love this home - clean and airy, yet with so many cute personal touches!
Loving these Toronto homes.if only we could afford 🙁
Such a calm and serene space! Well done!👏🏼🌿
Absolutely LOVE the vanity and sink combo 😍
I would feel so uncomfortable visiting there on my period 😂
Even blue jeans might be dangerous on white 😉
Lol
Lmao for real
@@karokaro881 lol seriously though! 😂😂
They are called tampons, you can buy them almost anywhere
Really lovely home, with some really stunning details.. But I’d feel a lot better if she was wearing slippers/socks 🙃. Her surfaces are too light and clean for outdoor shoes up on the couch etc. But then it’s great she is not that precious with her home.. Again beautiful home x
Typically Canadians don't wear shoes inside our homes, so I wonder if she just had them on for the video to complete her outfit?
@@pamelac3940 I was thinking the same thing. I live in Toronto and I think I've only met one person who wears shoes inside their home and that's because their floors are a mess.
That Huey kitchen light is something else!! Definitely going to have to check out Huey's website. Love the whole space. Real rare gem for Toronto in terms of space and style.
Lovely space...but I’d put blinds in with the quickness as all that light would limit my sleep...especially in the summer..but that’s me.
THANK YOU!! I thought it was just me. All these people talk about all this natural light and meanwhile my house has black out curtains in almost every room. I decide when light comes in! I done need sunshine waking me up like I’m Snow White. 😂
The windows are cool eventhough the view is not so interesting.
Wow! So much talent and grace in this video. Truly feels like a home that will age well being designed the way it is. Going to have to check out Huey!! Love the design of the light in the kitchen.
Loving all the Toronto digs!
A beautiful space! Modern but still inviting!
I know she's fine with it, but sharing that tiny desk with someone would drive me bonkers.
mimico is strong d tier- "stay in and have rose" millennial energy in terms of Toronto neighborhoods
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I like how she says that everything is probably her favorite place 🤣
Love it! Super sleek.
Toronto is amazing !!!!
Beautiful! Love it
I love the amount of natural light in that apt.
Love this, I would prefer a bit more warmer tones but still beautiful
So beautiful. I love it!
I love theseeeee so much
What's the name of the ikea dresser in her bedroom that she mentioned? does anybody know or have a link?
Oh this lady putting her shoes on all that white furniture lol
way too white for me personally haha, but its a beautiful home!
Can anyone find the storage unit she mentions at 8:55 ? I can't find it on the Ikea website.
I would change the under the stairs space to a full storage.
How do you sleep with all the light and noise coming in from the highway?
I think you get used to it like white noise
I love her voice!
Get a custom piece of glass made for that table
$2900 is amazing for all that space 😍👏
She said mortgage. Add another six hundred dollars a month
Can someone let me know the item name for IKEA hutch?
It looks like pictures in magazines. It’s beautiful to look at but lifeless and so hard to picture yourself living there
Ohhhh its in Mississauga? People who don't live in Toronto are always claiming residence in my city, it's so confusing. This property if it was in toronto would go for closer to 5k per month.
Lovely
So pretty. I like the white on white
Love the decor style! I used to live in this building though...it was awful :(
can you tell us why?
Love it
Does anyone know where her bed is from 🤔
What’s up with all the Toronto videos? Can we go else where?!!
Very stylish 👌🏾❤️
This is the same layout as Allegra Shaw’s condo. I wonder if they’re neighbours!
I'm really curious that if people would just put their feet on the couch with the shoes on like she did at @5:19. Her shoes look clean but they must've been worn outside and came with mud/dust. Wouldn't it make the couch fabric dirty? I know some of the non-asian people still wear shoes in the house, but they actually never take them off?
The feet on the media console!! I need!!
yay‼️
I like the space, it wouldn’t be my personal style as it’s so white, but I think it all flows nicely.
The motorway outside would put me off though.
Where is the closet?
Music too loud, drowns out the audio near the end
May i akk 2,900 is one month or one week?
She didn't mention the fireplace. I wonder if it is a log burner or gas?
It’s a gas fireplace. There would be a handle to open the door if it was wood burning.
Got a wooden one and theirs is definitely a gas fireplace
Love
Not a fan of this one... too much plain white all around, only to be complemented by ugly wrought iron; plus their view is basically of the expressway. They already bought this joint for way too much money and then had to dump in a lot more just to make it what they wanted. Think they got the short end of the stick here, but as long as they're happy with it, that's what matters... just wouldn't be anything I would like or want.
$50k for total renovation is a steal !
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
If it's 551,000 dollars it better be move in ready!
This is tasteful
😍😍😍
I thought this was Orion Carloto in the picture lol
Isn't this place right across that sewage treatment plant
I don’t know why, maybe it’s because I didn’t get a good tour of Toronto? But when I visited there it felt depressing to me
it's because it is depressing lol
Rent 2900$ a month. How is that depressing
I wish I had money
omg i literally live 5 mins away
So we don't eat on the white dining table for the fear of dropping food but we eat on the white couch instead🤔🤔
If you own this home I can say it was a great investment if you were renting it's a waste of time. And money because people can always want you out. A space is very nice very contemporary the open spaces wonderful I just say it needs more color different beautiful furniture pieces but everybody has a different taste. 😇🤔📺📽️🥂‼️💯🎉❤️🌟💛💚🖤🎉💎🥰 It's beautiful very lovely display.
Yeah I don't get paying 500k to not even have a door to your bedroom but ok
I love ya'll, but the title is a little misleading. It implies she's paying this in rent. Please put up the full 500K+ she paid for this house in the title.
Just put a glass on the table and you will b sorted
Nothing out of the ordinary stands out for me. White, basic and boring. Can we see some eclectic homes? Toronto is an amazing city, with so many diverse neighborhoods, with people with eclectic tastes, and we get this?
her voice is interesting
This is not my style but it’s very pretty.
Very clean. I would have saran wrap every guest before they sat or touched anything.
I thought only Americans put their feet up on beds and couches with their shoes on, but I see Canadians do it too. Whats worse is her couch is white lol
We don't. We literally have to have indoor and outdoor shoes in elementary school because of our weather. Either she didn't grow up here, or left them on because of the video (my guess is the latter because her explanation for putting tiles in the front entryway would be negated if she then proceeded to wear her shoes on the hardwood).
80% of the space their paying for is unusable air space for the stupid cathedral windows. The whole place is ridiculous and a waste of money. It's literally the same price as a two story 5 room house. Get out of here.
A chance to sleep in someone's bathtub, provided you scrub their toilet?
You next to the highway , that’s not quiet
almost all of these videos have lately, been only featuring home-owners. and I feel this is kind of misleading, click-baity, because these kinds of videos on youtube have originally been about renters and "what $X amount will get you" , as a renter. ugh
too many toronto videos
sorry not really feeling her house. I can get much better furniture than these.
Boring
WOW!!! How Beautiful!!! Also, warm and cozy! You did a FANTASTIC Job! Absolutely Beautiful!!! 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🌷
PS - you could just get some table mats for your lovely table to use at dinner time and once you've eaten - put them away so as to not take away from the uniqueness and beauty of your table.
Just my two cents😉
Lovely
