500 Square Foot Condo

I spray painted the little rattan swivel stool. There is no eating area, so this little island is a spot to eat and also gives her a little bit of storage underneath and a place to serve food if she has a guest or two. That's Fort York in the background. On Sundays, they shoot canons and fire rifles while in their War of 1812 dress.

The bargain Ektorp sofa bed. I made the leopard pillow from a designer sample.

The Bed of Roses rug from Dash and Albert (available from my shop www.razmataz.ca). It was a house warming gift 5 months ago. The original got flooded but insurance paid for a new one. Table from Ikea AS IS bin.
Her view is over the Toronto Island Airport and Lake Ontario. Yesterday we watched a Tall Ship sailing in and out of the harbour.

Five months ago I promised you photos of Girl Child's 450 square foot condo. But then it flooded (see that post HERE) and all her stuff went off to storage while she was ensconced in a very flashy condo in a very good location, courtesy of the insurance company. She loved the area and once she graduated, she found a job right around the corner. Once she realized that the flooded condo was NEVER going to be ready, she gave up that lease and searched for new digs closer to work, so no subway or streetcar anymore. After quite a battle to find a condo, she found one 3 days before she was to officially have not fixed address, and moved in last week. She's moved up in the world. She's now got 500 square feet, and is on the 49th floor. 

She was missing her things, and beginning to think that contents of her storage locker would show up on an episode of Storage Wars, so she more more than thrilled to see movers pull up last week with her displaced "contents" Although missing a few things damaged in the flood, mostly it was all there.

It's a teeny place, but well laid out. Her original sofa didn't fit, so she bought an Ektorp sofa bed from Ikea (before the flood), which allows for overnight guests, and she lucked out and found it on clearance, as was the square coffee table which was in the AS IS bin, missing the bottom glass piece. She had bookshelves from her childhood bedroom which made a nice wall unit and gave her lots of storage. 

The rug was a housewarming gift from me to her. It's called Bed of Roses and by Dash and Albert and available from my store www.razmataz.ca. Since the kitchen is a mere row of cupboards with no eating area, we bought her a 24 x 18" island from IKEA ($59.00) which gives her room for a basket for tea towels and a little wine rack. The bar stool swivels and was a $5.00 find and a can of spray paint made it a little more interesting. Now I can picture her sitting at her wee island having coffee in the morning.

I managed to get rid of a few more of my purged items which are scattered around and in the hallway and a TV stand. She can't fit another thing in here, but I think it looks very lovely. A perfect little pad for a 20 something girl.
