I made panoramas of the main rooms, a few of them are a bit wonky but the largest room in my apartment is 10'x10' and it's hard to get far away enough to take a decent photo of the whole room-
The apartment itself is a U shape around the building's stairwell with two rooms on each side (so all each room leads into the next) and a hallway connecting them, its about 10'x4' so it isn't much good for anything except storage. Besides being tiny, almost everything was free or thrifted!


my office/front hall/studio (I am a painter/printmaker/graphic designer)/sewing room/dining room
the table is meant to be able to be moved to the middle of the room if i have people over for dinner (I havent yet but I will)
table from estate sale, chair (there is another one somewhere) a la garbage day

the space between the office and the kitchen, vintage camera collection and obligatory polaroids

tiniest ever kitchen

this was the only way to show the whole bathroom, it's actually a narrow rectangle
(hot pink hand towels that go with Marie Antoinette poster present but not pictured)
next up we have the hallway

the cool door near the ceiling was more mysterious before we finally got it open to discover only a space between the top of the closet and the floor of the apartment above... the only thing the hall is amazing for is bike storage, my bike likes having it's own room, safe from nasty bike theives!
painting by me, polaroids of bf and bff, postcards from YSL exhibit
plaster hippos inherited (priceless)
lets see some more hippos...

now on to the livingroom (first awkward panorama)

on the wall opposite is my bookcase and a linen cupboard that is only 7 inches deep...
my bedroom is the biggest and my favorite room (it was also the most awkward to photograph):

and here are the best parts:


the painting is a canvas print of a Maurice Utrillo painting of Montmartre, it and the vintage hats, one of the record stands in the living room and the sweet formica/chrome dinette table in the studio all came from the same estate sale.

Off topic: I'm considering moving to Ottawa, but I have no friends or anyone to ask about life out there. I do Media Design. Is living expensive? Is there much design work? Do you like it?

There is a lot more work in media/web design here but it's all really small companies.
Expenses wise it's comparable to Toronto, my place is amazingly cheap for downtown.

Did you happen to pick up this amazing thing ?
2009-01-19 04:19 pm (UTC)
