This is great!! I feel like this was the first video showing what condo living is nowadays. I love how you guys prioritized your desks and bike over a typical couch. Great use of the space. Thanks for the ideas and inspiration.
@@MichaelRizzi I love your bed in your bedroom. I have got a double bed and it as storage space underneath. Does Chris live with you? If he does. Is he your boyfriend? Your brother? Or is he just a friend? Please let me know when your ready. Thank you.
You NAILED it! Not only are you making great use of the space, but you're also living sustainably. A space like that means you don't accumulate material things that you don't need. You're not heating/cooling space that's not being used. A++ You set a great example for how we all should be living.
I love the way you've taken advantage of every square inch of the place to get the most out of its functionality without sacrificing aesthetic value. It's the magic of minimalism. The apartment looks very comfortable in general, and that, in my case, is one of the most important factors. We recently traded in our old sofa for an LC3 Sofa from Manhattan Home Design as we felt it saved us a lot more space and it still looks amazing. We want to add some small indoor plants as well. Thanks for sharing the tour!
I absolutely love the condo. Thank you for showing this on TH-cam because its given me some ideas to maybe think about the small spaces I currently live in.
@@MichaelRizzi that’s great!! I’m really looking forward to it since I wanted to do my balcony this week but it got delayed because it’s haling and snowing and terrible here (the Netherlands) which is weird because it was 25 Celsius (77 Fahrenheit) here last week!
As someone who also lives in a tiny condo in Toronto it is so interesting to me to see how you configured the space. Would love to know what kind of washer/dryer you have as well as those weights look really cool too! I like how you utilized the 'living room' to suit what works for you guys right now with the pandemic and all, excellent ideas!
Get ready for this - Walmart! Found it by accident because Walmart / big box stores were the only things open at the time. Give Walmart’s online store a look.
I lived in Montreal (studying) decades ago, but I have never been to Toronto or any other major Canadian city - so I always find videos like these fascinating. I have a condo myself (Phoenix) but it is only on the first floor of a one-floor building north of downtown. My front window faces my neighbor's stucco wall and my back window faces my stucco patio wall. Needless to say, not much of a view. I would absolutely LOVE a view like your place has, and Toronto seems like a great city!
If it were my place I would put an elevated bed (loft bed) in the bedroom so I could use the space beneath for a couch movie hangout space or desk area. When weather is permitting I would put the stationary bike on the balcony. Seems like you are very happy in the condo with Oscar.
Great use of space! A unique setup that fits your needs. You don't know how much I despise the smaller size washer dryer combos in the newer condos. So seeing your oversized machines seriously made my day lol
Just watched your video pretty cool small space, one change I would make is to change out some of those doors to some nice bifolds and gain a little space.
The 9 foot ceilings make the space seem bigger. Lots of light and great use of space plus a fantastic view. Balcony is a must when living in a condo with a dog! Great job. Cheers ✌❤
I also live in Toronto and I have 1 bedroom and a den. But your unit is more modern than mine. I'm taking some of your ideas on how to make it more modern look!
I just moved from a big 2 bedroom to a tiny 1 bedroom so I am understanding the challenges of using space efficiently. I have been wanting a storage bed too. May I ask where you bought yours and if there is a model name? Thanks. :)
I'm sitting here quietly, but my Siri is having a full-blown convo with you. XD I really like the rugs and couch. And the TV -- I thought it was a picture at first!
Absolutely love this Condominium.. It's beautiful, contemporary, and has everything you need.. The view from your windows and the balcony is amazing too.. Excellent job gentlemen..
You've set up the space for your specific needs, and it works. You made a good choice to have an apartment with both a good-sized balcony and laundry machines. Women tend to clutter their spaces with ornamental stuff, but you've made functional use of it all, so the place looks open and bright.
Your place is awesome. That couch is amazing. Never saw anything like that. Never saw rugs that were two layers;peel and wash. Love it. I have a bunch of smart lights as well and they are one of my favorite things. Congratulations on your new home guys!
It appears from the comments that several of us would like some extra details (without compromising your privacy) like general area of Toronto where you are, average price range for this size condo, the source of the loveseat and bed, as they are unique for small space living. People are always curious. I personally would like to paint a wall or two some color or wall covering, just to add texture. Having a base wall a solid color with the other wall(s) still eggshell is a good look. I think all eggshell can make rooms look too stark. Not sure how indoor plants do in cold Toronto, but a plant (maybe hanging) in each of the 2 main rooms would be nice. Even some nice artificial plants give a nice green touch, which is especially welcome in the 6+ bleak winter months.
my first apartment was the same size but it didn't have a separated bedroom or washing machines and a modern kitchen. I like how the space is used in your apartment, it looks so comfy.
Michael, I can't believe your tiny condo looks great at your house in Toronto, Canada on this video during your quarantine and thanks to your boyfriend, Chris, I hope he will be happy for you, but I wanna say I'm proud of you and I know you're Canadian, now!!
You two are quite lucky in that you live in a city/town that was designed to be first and foremost a condo town in the first place. Not all cities and town are designed as such and that in it self is a ready good thing indeed.
yeah.. it's really not though. There's no condos with schools or daycares in them, many condos are excluded from being part of the local public school catchment, and many condos don't have retail or public transportation access via underground.
The Love Shack ;D I'm always amazed how tiny (and expensive) space actually is in cities (specially in large ones). As European country guy I'm not used to that, I live alone on so much more space. But you definitly made the most of it :)
I love how you used the living room as a dual office/exercise room, sensible for stay-at-home, self-isolating pandemic times. Is that a double size bed (it looks like it) or queen. Is a double size bed big enough for a couple of average weight?
How do you watch that large TV in the entrance from the couch (or is it on a swivel arm?) Seems like you'd get a sore neck since it's 90 degrees to the right if sitting on the couch. I love that the TV shows art as that did not look like a TV to me.
We mainly use the big TV as an all-day leisure watch/listen (videos, podcasts, news) while we work at our desks. We watch tv in the bedroom when we’re just chilling 🥰
Great zoning in such small square footage....amazing your versatile couch..eager to see your balcony reveal....what floor are you and what direction do you face? .
great video, lovely condo. really intrigued by the rugs ... are the underpads non slip and do the uppers fit into your washer? where is you get them? I think they would be great for our home office where we roll chairs from one work space to another.
I live up north in Toronto in a 550-sqm condo and I actually would have preferred this condo set-up, because a 2-br set up in the same amt of space is pretty small.
Hello. That was a great tour! I love it! You did a wonderful job putting things in the right place. Great idea about making art using your tv!! Thank you for sharing! Cheers to both of you and your cute puppy.
Peloton: Super quiet.
Me riding the Peloton: Gasping, grunting, and the occasional curse word.
Lol you’re more noisier than the peloton lol 😂
This is great!! I feel like this was the first video showing what condo living is nowadays. I love how you guys prioritized your desks and bike over a typical couch. Great use of the space. Thanks for the ideas and inspiration.
Very well thought out use of space. It would be so easy for a place like that to look cluttered, but it doesn’t at all. It looks very livable.
Definitely needs a 2x a day quick clean! But that only takes a few minutes 😅
@@MichaelRizzi I love your bed in your bedroom. I have got a double bed and it as storage space underneath. Does Chris live with you? If he does. Is he your boyfriend? Your brother? Or is he just a friend? Please let me know when your ready. Thank you.

Looks great, you guys did an excellent job making the place look and feel roomy.
Thanks so much!! Yea we tried to find the slimmest furniture 😅
@@MichaelRizzi how much is it if someone consider to buy it ?
Can you share a link to the couch?

Beautiful Condo. I love your rainbow rug. Thank you for sharing.
Wow. I honestly don’t know if you could find a better couch for that space without having one custom made. 🤯
so good to are you back online and making new videos nice use of the space you have there
I absolutely love the condo. Thank you for showing this on TH-cam because its given me some ideas to maybe think about the small spaces I currently live in.
Condos are ugly
I love how you make so much use of such a small space! It’s awesome!!! Also I can’t wait for the balcony video!!
Balcony video coming soon! We already did the outdoor tiles, but BBQ, seating, and workout station to come! 💙
@@MichaelRizzi that’s great!! I’m really looking forward to it since I wanted to do my balcony this week but it got delayed because it’s haling and snowing and terrible here (the Netherlands) which is weird because it was 25 Celsius (77 Fahrenheit) here last week!
@@MichaelRizzi I'm surprised your condo allows BBQs - most in Toronto don't.
I love it. It's so pretty, well organized and the technology just makes it better. Looks really nice. I hope you'll enjoy it !
It’s the smart home of our dreams! Thank you, King 👑

Great use of the space! Could you share where you got your mirror in the front foyer? I love how large it is! Thank you!!
Get ready for this - Walmart! Found it by accident because Walmart / big box stores were the only things open at the time. Give Walmart’s online store a look.
I love the pull out couch bed! It's perfectly made for that corner!!!
Haven't watched this channel for quite some time but both you and Chris are looking good! :) Congrats on the condo, it looks super cute
Well thanks for coming back 💙 always appreciate the support 🥰
Your place looks very cool and inviting. Good job decorating too.
Hi Michael! your couch is the exact size and functionality I am looking for!!! Where'd you get it from?

This looks great. You guys killed it!
It's beautiful! You guys did an amazing job. Seems efficient, elegant and homey.
Feels very homey! Thanks Ernesto 💙
I like the new condo and how you have utilized the space.
The patio looks pretty big in comparison to the sqft of the condo, that is awesome!!
💙💙💙 Space efficiency is king with 2 people and a dog 😅
You guys really utilized the space well. I love the storage under the bed, the mini sofa bed, the skinny table against the wall and the mirror!
550 is huge!
Good use of the space/looks great. That said, the sad part is that 500 sq. ft. in Toronto likely costs about $1,000,000 to buy, give or take a bit.
Wow! Toronto and Vancouver are both so doggone expensive - not sure how anyone affords it anymore!
Really the fav things is how you designed a small space and make it cool and spacious! That couch!!! YES!!! The view... spectacular!!!
Very smart and efficient use of space...stylish as well
Great job guys. Looks spacious. I am getting great ideas watching your video. Where did you guys get your storage bed?
If it were my place I would put an elevated bed (loft bed) in the bedroom so I could use the space beneath for a couch movie hangout space or desk area. When weather is permitting I would put the stationary bike on the balcony. Seems like you are very happy in the condo with Oscar.
This couch!! Ah where did you get it?!?
Great use of space! A unique setup that fits your needs.
You don't know how much I despise the smaller size washer dryer combos in the newer condos. So seeing your oversized machines seriously made my day lol
The favorite part of the condo is the large outdoor space and its potential, and the view! Very nice!
yeah wait till they build a luxury ghetto "condo" across the street, that half a million view will be worth the money.
Just watched your video pretty cool small space, one change I would make is to change out some of those doors to some nice bifolds and gain a little space.
Hi Mike. Great tour of your condo. Where did you get the rugs that are in your bedroom?
All the rugs are from Ruggable 😊
WATCHED THE FIRST 30 SEC, ALREADY LOVING THE HAPPY VIBES YOU GUYS HAVE...^^
在这里捉住Rainie哈哈哈哈！
i know I am pretty off topic but do anybody know of a good website to stream new tv shows online ?
@Ellis Joel Lately I have been using flixzone. Just search on google for it =)

Congratulations on your condo
It’s a beginning and it looks fabulous
Great job
Outside looks like a depressing shoe box

Nice and cozy. You did a good job
Looks really nice, although the couch seems a bit weird without tv. Would probably place there a proper table with chairs for big group dinners.
Your headboard is such a cool use of the LED strips. That rainbow rug is also amazing.
where did you get the mini couch half bed & the thin bathroom shelf?
Awesome! Where did you buy your dumbells, balcony tiles and LED strips?
Hi. It's been while since the new video. Good to see you again.
Glad to be back! 💙
I have the same couch in yellow in a tiny aprtment and it doubles as my guest room
Where did you buy the living room carpet? When you say that you can wash it, do you mean that you can put it in a regular washing machine?

Hi! Yes, I’m planning a part 2 video to answer the most popular questions. Stay tuned!! ✨🥰
@@MichaelRizzi Thanks! Much appreciated. Toronto is a great city, and have loved every visit there!
Who is the artist of the square block artwork you have on the wall by Your small couch, guest area? It’s gorgeous, where did it come from?
Would be great if you can link all the items especially the sofa bed :)
Beautiful place dam lol. Everything is new and modern. And the patio is a true bonus. Love love it! I’m jealous lol
Thanks Tom! The patio is nice and spacious, which gives us extra space for the spring and summer months 🥰
@@MichaelRizzi I just love your place ❤️
I need that couch that turns into a bed :O Where can I get one?
Probably Ikea. I saw one like it on their web site. They are really popular in the tiny home community.
I need to know where you got the couch! IT'S PERFECT!
It's a loveseat
Amazing use of small spaces! Learned a lot from how you organized your place! ❤️
Love it, very well thought out. Where did you get the couch?
The space and size is amazing...I don't understand why people want bigger homes when this is perfect.
You did a great job optimizing the space. Looking forward to the balcony review!
And for the international viewers: 550 sq ft is 51 sq meters.
Thank you for the conversion! Yes I’m excited to show you guys the balcony 🥰💙
my first apartment was the same size but it didn't have a separated bedroom or washing machines and a modern kitchen. I like how the space is used in your apartment, it looks so comfy.
Same here and I only had 500 sq ft and a laundry facility close by
Where did you get the couch from? Would love one like that for friends who stay over a night or two!

Your condo is so well thought out and decorated!
Great video ! Do you happen to have the dimensions for the rooms ?
Where did You get that couch? That or something similar would work great!
Great video. Where did you get your two piece rugs ?

You may have a problem with the BBQ. Ontario Fire Code bans BBQs (unless electric) from balconies
Hey Michael, where are those pants from? They look business enough but comfy for home!
Nice. Making good use of the space
hello where is your stranding desks from? Love the vid!
I looked at his Instagram and the sofa is from the bricks warehouse and costs over 900 $
