Right when i looked at the main photo I knew this was a Vancouver shot!
Nicely done fellow Vancouverite! :)

Yep! Never had any complaints or issues. But I'm a severely neat and clean painter.
My current place is a heritage and we are allowed to paint, we are supposed to show the landlord the colors first, after doing this for three rooms they eventually said "no need to show us any more, we trust your palette, go to town! :)
I'm currently painting a nursery a deep grey and I just freshened up all the white trim and windowsills. It's nice to have flexibility to allow us to take care of the place. It feels like home.

I'm getting my handy-contractor brother to build me a longer version of this! The wood is only costing me about $100.00.

I bet you could find somebody on craigslist, maybe a retired builder/hobbyist who would build you a sweet real one for way less!

I knew there'd be some fellow vancouverites commenting on this one!!
My husband and I, both in our 30's, great careers, make decent money, have a savings account, live on a cash only budget, don't go out a lot, yadda yadda..yet we will remain renters for the foreseeable future due to the crazy unaffordable real estate here.
Who can come up with a downpayment while renting in Vancouver? Maybe if you have rich parents to help you out? Not us! it's mind boggling. I'd prefer to stay in Vancouver but I'm sure once we have kids we will have to re-assess and leave.

yay Vancouver!!! Love your place Natalie! Nice work!!!

Love!! Beautiful!!!

Oh how I adore the mason jar display!! Beautiful! Love those vintage trophies too! You got my wheels spinning after seeing that idea! :)

My husband and I seem to always end up next to retired people who stay up really late, and who's living room walls always seem to be shared with our bedroom. In our last building, our elderly neighbor used to fall asleep with his tv BLARING and I'd wake up at 3 or 4 am being able to hear word for word, the insanely LOUD magic bullet infomercials that seem to never end. Knocking on his door didn't wake him up, pounding on the wall didnt do it either, notes went ignored and we ended up moving, and I became a solid investor of those neon orange construction grade earplugs. At least now we are above a store and have nobody above us! But man these stories strike home! :)

I love everything about your place! You have totally inspired me <3

Oh my apartment has so many of the same details! I love your place! We have very similar kitchens! 1930's built?! Love your little yellow chair! I'm babbling! :P
