      definitely! after living in an old apartment in london, i got lured in by the convenience of a new construction (especially with the canadian weather) ❄️ but i just can’t deal with how unpersonal and “cold” it feels…

      It's funny because I'm from nyc and I've always wanted to move to Montreal ever since I celebrated my 18th birthday there like 10 years ago lol. I'm learning French just for that. Nyc is too much. It sucks because there's so many poor immigrants here who want a better life yet it's so expensive. Maybe that's why lots of modern day immigrants are looking into other states nowadays. Anyways, Love ya Canada ✌

    Thanks for the details. Just to let you know, you have inspired me to imitate your look in my condo for spring. Your touch for design is great and your bit of soul, will now be left for the next renter since they bought your furniture and that is wonderful, you should be proud of what you created with the look of your condo. Good Luck!

    Love the studio definitely my style. Buying furniture isn’t an issue I live in America and furnished apartments are not something I personally am accustomed to. The convenience of living so close to work is great. I will agree the lighting in the bathroom is not great but all in all I think it is fabulous especially since it came with a washer and dryer.

    Did you find a new home with more soul? The Plateau neighbourhood has some charming older apartments - the classic Montreal plexes with exterior staircases - and is a short commute to downtown. Best wishes.

  • @rikkidee
    @rikkidee Před rokem +1

    Looks pretty cool. I live in Melbourne Australia and trust me rent is not cheap. You got off reasonably well in buying the bed and sofa for the price you paid. My bed alone Queen Size was $2500. I won't go into the rest of the costs setting up. However, I'm sure you get the gist of it. Congratulations on finding a place ( home ) close to work etc, and it looks nicely furnished.
    Kind regards Rikki

    • @JeanEst
      @JeanEst  Před rokem +1

      hi Rikki! thanks for your comment 🤍 it’s so cool you’re from australia, i wish i could visit although i’ve heard it’s pretty expensive over there 😭
      and yes, i got lucky with the furniture. i basically went with the simplest and cheapest stuff i could buy online (a lot of amazon items with prime delivery) 📦
      however, i ended up spending way more than i originally expected, so i’ve learnt my lesson… furnishing is an investment 😅
      ps: i hope that $2.5k bed is amazing.

      omg 😭 you’re so sweet tasha, thank you so much for your comment 🤍 it means a lot! (& i’m glad you like my accent, i’m sick of it myself 😂)
      ngl, sometimes it’s very hard to move around this much (and far) when you’re in your 20s... it’s like uprooting yourself over an over 🥲 however, deep down i feel like this is the ideal time to do it; to try new things, explore the world and see what works and doesn’t work for you.
      i wish you all the luck, happiness and success in the future 🇿🇲➡️🇿🇦🔜🇨🇦!
      hope you enjoy your time in canada!

      thank you! 🤍🥺 it was hard. if you’re on a budget i say aim for clean/simple stuff and slowly add more personality later on. it also makes it easier to sell, as the core items are more “universally appealing”.
