Is it really too much to ask that a submitted floor plan actually correspond with the space it is supposed to represent?

i did a double take on the 1000sf, it looks more like a 600sf basement apartment.
its definitely a singular vision, but it feels very claustrophobic.

Those are some lovely bones you're working with!
The textile piece above the bed is gorgeous and i am a little ashamed of how much i like that brass and black bathroom, expected it to be really kitschy but i think- gulp- that it looks pretty darn cool!
Oh, and just like the US, most every Canadian is out of town for memorial day, we just call it the may long, or victoria day, or may two-four (cuz there's 24 beers in a case), depending on age and geography :-) Thanks for the tour!

Its a Hudson Bay blanket, a four point (indicated by the black stitching at the edge) meaning it is a double bed size. It seems to be folded in half and hanging over a rail (curtain rod?), and it looks fabulous!

Except that here in Toronto, our compost "green bins" accept all but the cooking oil on this 'non-compostable' list as well as napkins/tissues/paper towels, and our recycling "blue bins" take all paper, juice and wax paper cartons.
Instead of discouraging composting and recycling, why not encourage people to check with local facilities to see what is acceptable in their area?

You know le nordik is only a 20 min cab ride from downtown Ottawa, right? And they'll call a return cab for you while you change- so easy.

We sold our car when we moved to Toronto, and joined zipcar after a few months when we had accumulated an errand list long enough for it to make sense. Our 2012 ziptrips for errands, weekend trips, day trips out of town cost about the same as just our previous car's insurance alone. sweet!
I'd do what we usually do with a car for a day; weirdly located errands, a big grocery shop, and find a lunch place far from transit.

wait, aren't we supposed to DIScourage narcissism in our kids?
Although it is a great way to promote chastity; making out in a room covered in childhood pics or yourself and your brother would be absolutely mortifiying.

Which is not to say that the modernist cat and the kattbank are not lovely pieces, but most of the others still scream 'litter box', look cheap, are impractical (dogs plonk their turds on the ground, cats will valiantly dig to cover it, how's that pet loo going to work? the mungo and maud neither covers nor contains) and seem, well, GOOP level out of touch...

I love that you're including Canadian content.
I hate that no-one on AT seems to have a clue. Vancouver is about as 'rough' as Seattle weather-wise, and its certainly nothing like the 'north pole' (from a post last week).
10 seconds googling will help combat the stereotype of the ignorant yank as much as that of Canada as a frozen tundra.
Would have loved some of these beauties waiting fro the LRT in Edmonton though!
