Small Apartment Makeover: 350 Square Feet Filled With DIYs

Tour blogger Tess Ciarloni's downtown Toronto condo where she makes the most of her close quarters with bright, airy design and thoughtful, functioning pieces. While the space is only 350 square feet, the transformation from a cookie-cutter condo to a millennial's dream home is seriously impressive. From a complete bathroom renovation to a much-needed kitchen overhaul (you'll love Ciot's Rhombus White Wall tile for the backsplash), this city oasis proves just how stylish a small space can be. Plus, get inspired by Tess' many DIY projects!
Presented by Ciot.

FINALLY, a KITCHEN in the RIGHT PLACE! so many architects insist on shoving the kitchen to an inner corner. They forget about people who ACTUALLY cook and how ventilation works.

It sucks for those without handy dads. i guess nepotism is a big factor to success. let's face it

@nofurtherwest3474 4 ай бұрын

@@Babybunnyxox yeah i guess so. but its still true that nepotism is a big factor in success. i worked for a big building developer. it was started by the old dad, and he grew it and then all his kids came up in the business and one of the son's became the CEO. very common across that industry and many other industries. you may say so what - but just think of all the talented and hard working people that simply won't have a shot because they aren't in the family. anywho, i'm maybe a little bitter yet at the same time i don't dwell on it and i have found success in life. but we should not be ignorant to this variable of nepotism, we should be aware since it can affect one's career choices. for example, do you think a kid from the midwest could move to hollywood and make it big in the film industry? its possible, but most try and it's too hard, many "glass ceilings". But a kid who's parents are in the industry already will bascially have a very easy route into the industry. so, turn back around midwest kid. and go into a new industry like AI. this is where nepotism is a non factor. and many other industries, so and i'm fine with it.

What a beautiful apartment. This young lady has done everything possible to ensure a bright and happy environment to stoke her creative juices. To harness so much light in a city that is so often bleak and overcast, is a stunning achievement. Anyone could do this with an unlimited budget and scores of professional helpers. She did this on a tight budget and with one helper. I would love to have her do my apartment as her personality would mesh well with mine even though her style is different than mine. I could almost guarantee that I would love what Tess could create in my space.

Great usage of greenery, accent colors and beautiful decor to really warm the space.

Your apartment is beautiful. I love the mix of mid century, vintage, and modern vibes. I love to decorate and started decorating when I was a girl with my first project being my doll houses. I asked for doll houses and furniture for Christmas and I made sure to take good care of them because my dad couldn't always afford to buy them yearly. I had three and I would save my money and buy furniture for the houses and would take the furniture from one and put it in the other to see how it would look in there. I truly appreciate this video as well as the personal touches that you gave it. The white really brightens up the space and makes it look like the sun is shining even on a cloudy day. Job well done and dad is wonderful!

Wow. Love the attention to detail, color palette and creativity. You can feel how much you care about where you live and it is so inspiring. You were also lucky to have the kitchen be separate, there's a large closet and an entryway AND outdoor space. These factors make all the difference to small studio spaces. I've seen so many studios in New York where everything is just one big room. Good for you!

This is amazing. I just got my first place and its really dated and needs a lot of work. . I think I never really noticed how much security my childhood home gave me living with my parents. I had a fair amount of big traumas in my life and sitting in that new apartment felt like it was choking me . I feel so anxious being there, my body kind of went into a fight of flight mode .Even tough the place is mine it doesn't feel like its mine. It feels so alien to me. I love diy's and I have big plans for it to make it homey as quickly as I can because I didn't bring any furniture with me since they are in terrible shape. My reno will be painting the walls, wrapping kitchen cabinets in white shiny foil, changing the door/ cabinet knobs to gold, doing a tile backsplash wrap on the ugly tiles, probably will do a vynil wood flooring in the future as well and bringing as much plants as possible. The bedroom and the bathroom/ toilet room will need the most work. It needs everything, tile painting, bathtub painting, sinkand vanity changes. . and my cat!!

I appreciate your transparency. I'll be moving soon and had never thought about that feeling "abandon" that might be experienced after living under the comfort of your parent's roof for so long. I'm wishing you the best! Take your time to place pieces in your space that make you feel secure, good, and confident! It might take a while to curate those pieces, but it'll be well worth it. And a good baby step would be to fill the space with candles - it's a great mood-setter + makes the place smell amazing (even if it doesn't quite look the way you want)!
