I’ve been MIA for a week working on putting together my kickass new condo. It took a lot, but I’m there, I’m in love and here are pics =o)

The view, one of my favourite things about this place.

Aaand – the condo. I’m proud to say I designed it from scratch, almost everything is new and I did it for under $5000. It accomodates everything Tito and I love to do while still making a small condo feel calm, open and comfortable.

• Couch – easily the most expensive thing. Pavillion on Queen West – $1600
• Accent chair – Pier 1 – $299
• Rug – IKEA – $29
• Mirror – Pier 1 – $200
• Accent table – got from an antique store that was going out of business for $400

• Dining table and chairs – IKEA – $475
• Expedit bookshelf – IKEA – $229 for the big one, $69 for the narrow one by the easel.

The bookshelf is the realm of organized clutter.

The Tito-zone

The bedroom – bright and airy with a view that’s heaven to wake up to.

There it is! My own sweet little piece of downtown Toronto. It’s been a rough year, but totally worth it =o)
