my 200 sqft studio apartment tour | home decor & travel writer living alone in montreal 🇨🇦

Welcome to my studio apartment in Downtown Montreal! I've always wanted to film a home tour video and this felt like the place to do it. I've been living here for a few months and really tried to figure out how to decorate a small space, how to use budget-friendly and modular hacks to make the space serve multiple purposes. I have to say I'm really happy with how this space is turning out. As a travel and decor writer, I've used a lot of things I learned while traveling and writing about others' spaces to optimize my space and I feel really at home here in my little frugal studio apartment. I hope you enjoy the tour! 🏠 PRODUCT LINKS kitchen: toaster: https://amzn.to/3Rizpl3 poetry magnets: https://amzn.to/49o7y9g wonder oven: https://amzn.to/4tqKq0Y tin to table book: https://amzn.to/4uGaztI kettle: https://www.lecreuset.ca/en_CA/classi... office: MY BOOK! 💖: https://amzn.to/4nrDIqs kneeling chair: https://amzn.to/4nmFBVf wake up lamp: https://amzn.to/4cZ5FSM desk: https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/alex-des... bedroom: washed linen set: https://amzn.to/3R0H9YR night stand/coffee table: https://amzn.to/4dhNS8f book nook pillow: https://www.indigo.ca/products/mini-e... living room: pillow covers: https://amzn.to/3Pi1U1J pillow inserts: https://amzn.to/4dgrGvk blanket: https://amzn.to/4wryor6 couch: https://creatorlink.shop/4dmT5M3 Oli’s food dispenser: https://amzn.to/4felWEI Oli’s food mat: https://amzn.to/42ZIphv projector: https://amzn.to/4tsczF4 shadow box: https://amzn.to/4trsOCg lemon painting artist from fb marketplace: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/... bathroom: lost in translation art print: https://www.etsy.com/listing/44658038... frame: https://www.weddingstar.com/large-12-... suction cup toilet paper holder: https://amzn.to/4uMG7yp closet: shoe rack: https://amzn.to/3R1A9ei patio: ikea bistro table: https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/taernoe-... *** some of these links are affiliate links.
