What a stunner you’ve turn that place into - really made it your home. I’d love to see what it looks like today with your furniture and decor selection!
hi guys! seeing a lot of new faces on this video and some more questions re: how to buy your first home and how to renovate / how much everything costs. I've broken it down to two blog posts, the first one here is re: how to purchase your first home (my experience and tips - see below), and I will be uploading another one shortly re: renovations (I've decided to do a blog post instead of a YT video because there is a lot of content and it might be easier to read as a guide as opposed to listening). thank you so much for your support & welcome to the new faces on my channel :)
I'm sooo happy for u. I got many furniture from wayfair too. They have many good collections to choose from. Your ceiling is very tall. Could you add second floor as loft?
It's funny because my unit is always SUPER WARM I'm not sure if it's because of the surrounding units. I actually have to turn on AC sometimes in the winter/leave the window open so I don't overheat!!
Hi Lisa, this is such an inspiration!! I'm looking to renovate my condo in Toronto and wondering if you have any tips for looking for contractors or flooring materials? (Specifically looking to replace floors :) )
@@getawei I loooove your reno. Awesome job! Are you still going to release a video with an idea of costs? I'd love to get a ballpark idea so I can start planning my condo glow up, too! :)
This is purely guessing because I didn't actually hire anyone to evaluate but I'm guessing +50k at least? It also depends on when I'll resale because if I resale at a way later time it will be resale value PLUS property value increase which will be more than just from renovation
honestly I was trying to avoid buying a unit with a hallway but this was one of the compromises I decided to make :( I talk about it on my blog post getawei.com/2020/05/09/my-first-time-homebuyer-tips-experience-in-toronto/
sabrina ren all the appliances were extremely old but all the companies ask prior to delivery if you need them to take the old one away so I just did that :) I’m guessing they took it to recycle for parts!
HI! good job on the renovation! I am loving it, especially you purchased everything yourself. How much did it cost for the renovation and did you have a contractor? Thanks!
I’ve never understood the lack of built-in living room lights in Canada. It gets dark fast for half of the year. But all architects go noooope get a floor lamp ya peasant
I wrote in the description that I purchased the unit :) I don't recommend renovating a unit if you are renting it unless the landlord is going to pay for it!
definitely would be better if I was taller but I am not LOL oops. I actually didn't really realize this either until I started using it. I think if I placed it lower it wouldn't be as big of an issue. On the bright side, it does keep my counter tops a bit cleaner b/c the water doesn't spill as much! :)

I'm sooo happy for u. I got many furniture from wayfair too. They have many good collections to choose from. Your ceiling is very tall. Could you add second floor as loft?
Thank you so much Jenny that's so sweet! Yes I've actually inquired about this but ended up not building a second floor!
Hello! I loved this loft, everything you renovated was beautiful. I completely loved the bathroom. New subscriber!
Fernanda Navarrete awe thank you so much!

Arine Maharani awe thank you!!!!
APARTMENT GOALS!!
Love you ,3
Omg i really love those high ceilings 🥺
So beautiful. Have you considered getting new doors or even painting your existing ones white? In my opinion that would make it look finished.
That's such a great idea! I don't think I will replace them but painting them might be a cool idea :) Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi Lisa! Beautiful video! Could you share the square feet of this home?
You did a great job the place looks so much better!
So did you live at home during the renovations? Love the updates to the apartment!
You did such a good job on the bathroom design! Make sure you get some big plants for the apartment 💚
Absolutely stunning congrats you have made a huge different
Awe thank you
Omg. You did a great job! It’s stunning
Thanks for the sweet message
Looks like the lofts at richmond st west
This place is beautiful!
Great job Lisa!
Thank you!! :)
These high ceiling are nice!
Don't you worry it'll be expensive to keep the appartement warm in the winter? Electricity bill wise.
It's funny because my unit is always SUPER WARM I'm not sure if it's because of the surrounding units. I actually have to turn on AC sometimes in the winter/leave the window open so I don't overheat!!
Hi Lisa, this is such an inspiration!! I'm looking to renovate my condo in Toronto and wondering if you have any tips for looking for contractors or flooring materials? (Specifically looking to replace floors :) )
How much did your renovations end up costing?
I will be making a video about this so stay tuned :D
that will also explain the reno itself*
@@getawei I loooove your reno. Awesome job! Are you still going to release a video with an idea of costs? I'd love to get a ballpark idea so I can start planning my condo glow up, too! :)
Saw the furnished apartment first, and I'm in love. Only problem is there's not enough windows
I know!!!! I talked about this in my blog post about buying a new home.. it's what happens when the layout is long :(
Who did all the Reno/ installations? How much did the reno cost? Thanks
Love! Can’t wait to see the final results!
it's up on youtube now! :)
It’s stunning!! Beautiful job!💕
Awe thank you!!
Very preety n morden. But what is the door beside the toilet.. really curious. Hehhe
what do you mean by door? hehe
So perfect, thanks for sharing!
how much did you spend for the renovation???
Excellent always looking at vids about Renoson Toronto condo .What percentage did it increase in the condo if you wanted to resale?
This is purely guessing because I didn't actually hire anyone to evaluate but I'm guessing +50k at least? It also depends on when I'll resale because if I resale at a way later time it will be resale value PLUS property value increase which will be more than just from renovation
I totally hate the narrow hall way i cringed oddly set up but i like all the changes made especially the bathroom really kool
honestly I was trying to avoid buying a unit with a hallway but this was one of the compromises I decided to make :( I talk about it on my blog post getawei.com/2020/05/09/my-first-time-homebuyer-tips-experience-in-toronto/
This is so good. But one question, did u trash your old kitchken appliances or u sell them? If so where did u sell?
sabrina ren all the appliances were extremely old but all the companies ask prior to delivery if you need them to take the old one away so I just did that :) I’m guessing they took it to recycle for parts!
Did you rent or put a mortgage on it to change everything? Also how much did all of this cost to renovate?
This isn't a rental :) Bought it (yes with mortgage!) - blog post about this coming soon - I will be posting and pinning the blog post on here
can i ask how much you bought the place for and how much were renovations. Toronto real estate is super expensive
bought in 2019 for 530k and spent maybe around 30-40k on renovations!
What a nice home!!
Thank you so much!
Please create more content! You have so much potential :)
Awe thank you that's so sweet! Trying to do so hehe :)
HI! good job on the renovation! I am loving it, especially you purchased everything yourself. How much did it cost for the renovation and did you have a contractor? Thanks!
would like to know the contractor as well
Love it!! May I ask where did you get the floor? I love the color!
A L this was from my contractor but it’s called PIKA the colour :)
@@getawei Thanks a lot!! :D
your apartment is so perfect! many i ask how many sq ft is it?
around 610!
Beautiful apartment!
Thanks Kaitlynn! :)
So pretty!
Thank youuu
Hi Lisa, I have similar high ceilings with no light fixtures. Was it costly to get ceiling lights installed? Thanks!
A couple of hundred for the electric install and depending on the light that you buy! :)
Lisa Wei Thank you! Your renos turned out beautifully! :)
Nice job!
Can't wait to do your place hehe
beautiful work! is this an apartment you own?
Love it! Good job
this is beautiful
Thanks Stormie!
How much does it cost for this unit? I am interested in the similar one! Do you mind sharing?
where is the tile from in the bathroom??
I got it from The Tile Store in North York!
wow this is stunning ! any tips on moving downtown ? :)
Thanks girl!!
how much was this renovation
Beautiful apartment
Awe thank you so much!
I’ve never understood the lack of built-in living room lights in Canada. It gets dark fast for half of the year. But all architects go noooope get a floor lamp ya peasant
Barbara Brown I KNOWWWW that’s why I had to take matters to my own hands -_- also the floor ones get in the way and you might trip!
i thought lofts are supposed to have 2 floors.
Hi. Subbed. Nice Job. Love your speaking voice. T.O Resident as well.
How do u afford this?!😭😭
Bank of Parents with 0% Interest (hopefully) LOOOL
This reminds me of Jae and trey Richard’s apartment
Nicol GM seems like the same building
omg do you have a link i would love to check it out!
This is really nice. Do you own this apartment or are you just renting.
loser101 sundays that’s what I would like to know
I wrote in the description that I purchased the unit :) I don't recommend renovating a unit if you are renting it unless the landlord is going to pay for it!
you can renovate apartments??
Some apartments are super strict; it depends on your building :) Mine was ok!
WAIT I SAW ANOTHER CHANNEL WITH THE SAME FLOOR PLAN
omg no way maybe they live in the same building LOL
@@getawei probably WOW 😅
Isn’t Haley Pham mom’s apartment similar to this
I was thinking the same!
kinda but the kitchen was on the other side i think
omg idk who this is do you have a link?! Would love to check this out hehe
Lisa Wei OMG hi! Thank you so much for replying, here is the link for the video: ua-cam.com/video/gRiDZE3lfPw/v-deo.html
Hi, the code requires 40% of your wall to be window for daylight. This is why you had slidding doors in the corner.
Makes sense! :)
i dont understand, why would you renovate an apartment that is a lease..do you mean its a condo you own?
Yes in the description I mentioned I purchased this! It is not a lease
OMG ...
This is Korean style design)
Cool
wow you gave this loft a facelift
LOL love that hahahha
omg this is so nice! If you ever want to be a landlord and rent this out, please hit me up lmao
LOOOL OK ILL LET YOU KNOW HAHA :)
i hate those sinks in the bathroom. i understand the aesthetics but functionally they drive me nuts
definitely would be better if I was taller but I am not LOL oops. I actually didn't really realize this either until I started using it. I think if I placed it lower it wouldn't be as big of an issue. On the bright side, it does keep my counter tops a bit cleaner b/c the water doesn't spill as much! :)
l'installation de lumière au niveau de poutre si grave bizarre
je l'aime... :)
Omg you're so beautiful 🥺
marry me please 🥺💖🌷😂
That shit was depressing
