      20k is a pretty big budget 😂

    I often see your videos cause I'm a person who is interested on buying a small house because of my tight bughet and I think this is the only time I hear from someone the price of the renovation cost and oh, I'm so glad because it gives me a clue about the money I will be spending on after the purchase of the house. I'd like to see more videos about the money people spend on there renovation.

    So refreshing to see one that is DIY, limited budget, things done with a personal rather than professional touch. The re-use of the old shower rail rules. This place has character, reflects the owner's personality, and I love how proud he is. Also his comment about the emotional support from friends

    Finally a reno where there are not removing all the walls but working with what they have plus a budget friendly reno. I would like to see more of this.

    Wow - I love what has been done here on a budget and by reusing lots of materials. The result is incredible. I'm going to watch it again to take in more of the details.

    Beautiful. Simple. Sufficient and sustainable.
    Loved this one! Especially the upcycling of bits from the old apartment into things for the new apartment.
    More DIY videos like this, please 💚

    I quite like this one! It looks so comfortable and lived in. I like it so much more when the spaces featured here feel less overly curated and more…realistic, for lack of a better word. I can see someone living through the messiness of everyday life here.

    Shaun I love the renovation you have done on your apartment. The study nook with the custom shelving is genius. The fluted glass shower door just fits the style of the apartment so well. The cork flooring is a great choice based on the thermal and acoustic properties. And your decision to add in extra wall insulation will serve you well in hot Melbourne summer days. A stylish apartment in a boutique complex in a hip part of Melbourne.

    This is exactly what I asked for last week! I don't know if its pure coincidence if this was next in the pipeline, but this feels like a good example of what typical modern homeowners could achieve.

    i loved this flat, great inspiration for the diy projects, and the idea of oversized doors to make the wardrobe have floor to ceiling appearance was brilliant!

      @theresabu3000 5 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Yeah - great advice from him too.
      To not worry about it being built-in, but cover the opening with doors cut to size and use the rest above.
      Those areas are overlooked, and are dusty or messy if you use it for longterm storage yourself 👍☺️

  • @sissonor
    @sissonor 4 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +3

    This one is really good.
    NEVER TOO SMALL showcases often stylish apartments that prioritize form over function. Stupid staircases without railings is the number one idiocy.
    Here you can see a case where i think it is the other way: it looks cool AND it is!! cool/reasoned.

  • @JamesHK19
    @JamesHK19 5 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +3

    Cool space. Feels authentic to the owner. Enjoy some of the design decisions, especially the contouring book shelf. The guy got a great outcome for the cost he put in.
    If I owned this place as he does, I’d slowly start refining some of the finishes and materials over time. A project like this as it’s currently shown, looks good from far but far from good. Be fun to elevate it as time went on.

    This is so inspiring and " reachable".

    Fun to see what you did to make this place yours, Shaun! I like the results. I also like that you're recycling and upgrading bits. Not sure how long you've been living there; I see potential to add storage space, if needed.
    Love the plants all around!
    Q: why didn't you switch the way the fridge door opens? We did that and it is so much easier to get to things.
    Q2: would you have space in your kitchen to add a dishwasher if you change your mind?

    I can never understand why more people don't have fridges with left-hinged doors, when the workflow is primarily left to right. In your case, the right-hinged door makes it very cramped to access the interior of the fridge, as well.

    Not having a dishwasher is insane. It's faster, much more sanitary, consumes less water and electricity than hand washing, and is overall better for everyone, including the owner. That computer "desk" is also unusable and completely unergonomic.
    I don't understand why this would be an apartment to feature.
