This space is absolutely breathtaking. The design, the textures, the accents!!! So very well executed!! I love that she’s being conscious, intentional and sustainable!! YES!! Also, YESSS to her husband building such gorgeous furniture! LOVE THAT FOR HER!!!
It’s so cool how her husband builds stuff for her. She hit the jackpot with him lol.
I know and I thought my husband was handy! The furniture he built is so exquisite
Being a young black creative who is stepping into her adulthood this content is actually SOOOO INSPIRING.thank you so much for this... her home is sooo beautiful
Good for her...that house is probably well over 900k in value now
900 for a one bedroom? Damn I thought sydney was expensive..
@@raziamoe I heard Toronto is Soo expensive to live now
@@raziamoe Toronto is super expensive. I live outside of the city but work downtown Toronto. A house like hers would probably sell for 1.2 million at least. I'm trying to save as a single woman for a pre-construction condo and I make decent money but it's impossible 😪
@@raziamoe It's two bedrooms, they are using one as an office.
It’s worth at least 1.2 mil, plus if it was listed for 900k the way the Toronto real estate market is it would be bought way over asking.
400k IN THE JUNCTION?! omg I'm gonna cry haha. What I would give to rewind to 2015 and buy before Toronto became unlivable. Congrats to her the place is gorgeous.
I know, this place would be 800k-1 million now, at least
She’s so lucky she got into the housing market, in THAT neighborhood for that price!! Toronto real estate in not a joke.
400K in the Junction 😂😂😂 you can’t even get that in Barrie in May of 2021!!!
your husband is a gem. it's so wonderful that he supports your vision instead of trying to discourage or defeat you. your home is beautiful.
Her husband built her the entire kitchen and it looks stunning. I guess it wasnt ready when this episode was shot but if you are following her on Instagram you ll know about it. Lovely episode btw .
What's her instagram
@@godgift2earth thishouse5000
Still hasn't shown the side with the sink so it's not done yet.
Wow and I thought my husband was handy! I can't believe he built such beautiful furniture from scratch
Yes to this space! But big no to the misleading title from Refinery29. Even if her house payment is $1850 (is it?), all she mentions is the $400K price tag of buying the place and all the renovation they did. This place is fabulous. There is no reason to do the bait and switch.
I wondered that
This is her home. They make it seem like she pays that a month
Mortgage???
This is the mortgage.
I feel like they do this alot.
Exactly
Elena and her place tried their best, but the cat is the main character.
I hope one day Elena and Bob the Builder have their own show where he builds and she designs.
This house is STUNNING! I adore the caramel / wood tones with the white. The Junction was one of the last semi-affordable neighbourhoods in Toronto. So glad you were able to restore this treasure of a house.
shes had almost everything you see given to her for free.... Shes a famous influencer. Companies give them tens of thousands in free stuff cause they can promote it online. Hence why IKEA sponsored this and sent her everything lol
@@shan22777 she bought the house before becoming an influencer. Also influencers still have to work to get "free" stuff
Love everything about this place except those dangerous stairs without railing, but of course I’m 70😂
No you’re right!! They aren’t even to code. They will have to add banisters when they sell
I’m 48 and just looking at those stairs gave me anxiety.😳😬
I’m 21 and I was scared but I agree everything is beautiful though
SCREAMING ..... I love this woman! Found Elena on Instagram awhile back and I am in love with her house. It’s an honour to have toured her home in this way. Also, thank-you Elena for being honest and letting us know the hardwork that went into you and your husband being able to purchase your home. Sometimes, it can be discouraging especially as a young couple with a young family in Toronto! Refinery29 keep these amazing episodes coming!! xx
This place already looks so stunning! She and her husband have an amazing eye for being able to transform this space into the gem it is right now. I'd love to be able to see the few rooms that aren't complete yet in the future (part 2??). Its also so inspiring to see a black woman be so amazing! Wishing her the best on her journey ♡
Her home is amazing, one of the best homes on this channel
Wow, those stairs are so unique and definitely not for everyone, but they fit the space so nicely!! Love her style!!!
14 SECONDS IN AND HER PLACE IS A LITERAL DREAM!!!!
Her place is truly stylish comfort. Every single plants seems to be strategically placed, and her husband’s carpentry is fabulous.
This is an absolute labour of love. Every room is thought out. It’s airy and seems like a nice place to unwind each and every day. The stairs scare me. Great job to you and your husband.💕
The unethical stairs still get me everytime 😂😂
This might be my most favorite sweet digs!! Her home is beautiful!! The decor just gives off bright homey vibes. She also hit the jackpot with her handyman husband! Love their home!!! Her aura is so sweet and calming ☺️
Wow what a deal for $1850!
Love seeing Sweet Digs in Toronto
Yes - I hope they end up doing every neighbourhood here!
The whole interior if the house itself looks like a page out of an Ikea catalogue but better AND looking beautifully pleasing. Good job Elena and her husband 👍🏼😉
The energy your home brings is immaculate
Loved this home tour and how owner/creative Elena kept bringing up sustainability. Beautifully decorated to maximize the light-bright-clean feel. Refinery29 please go back and show us the finished kitchen. Thank you.
You and your husband have created a serene and beautiful home. It doesn’t have a lot of color, but all of the textures and unique designs make it so appealing. I love the way you have presented it. Very honest and straight forward. Thank you.
I love this home the art and the cabinet her husband made is gorgeous it's just lovely.
Wow! It's so beautiful! A completely cohesive look and feel and all the natural light is amazing. Of all the places the cat could have sat and snoozed - the little sofa complimented his/her fur perfectly!😻 Also, the pieces made by the husband look so professional! A really happy home. 🌞
+katehipkin Thanks for stopping by to watch!
The color palette, textures and custom made, environmentally sustainable pieces makes your home a winner.
