I BOUGHT A HOME! empty condo tour in downtown vancouver | JENerationDIY 

i totally agree that would really open up the spaace

If you are not much of a cook, you don't even need to have any there. Just buy an portable induction burner you can put away when not in use, and be sure to have a 30 or 36 inch cabinet where a stove might be for a future buyer to switch out. Many European kitchens have an all-in- one washer/dryer under the kitchen counter. That would give you more counter space if you removed laundry closet. But you could just put it in the dinky shower instead. Love the walls of windows. Definitely add lots of plants. Fig and umbrella trees, and pots of hanging vines would be great. I would add a wall hung electric fireplace over heater unit with built in bookshelves around it, and a chunky mantle above. The mantle will block heat. Although heaters usually blow out into the room, not rise straight up, unless a wood burner. Could install tv over mantle with a cover or frame around it. Hammock in front of windows, or swing chairs. Definitely not a fan of carpet, yuck. Have area rugs for softness. Cork tile is warm, cushiony and antimicrobial as well as environmentally good. Looking forward to seeing what you do. Congratulations.

@@serenakoleno9338 Good thoughts and options about the kitchen, but with condos I would also consider resale value, even if you had no plans to move out in a long time. Also as someone who isn't much of a cook, I would definitely suggest having a good basic kitchen with proper setup because that helps me cook at least a little more! If I only had a portable burner, I'd never cook because they don't usually fit more than one or two little pans, which makes it harder to cook for friends, or if you like to meal prep and cook for days in advance, it's a hassle.

you can switch the sides, happens all the time with gut renovations but it's gonna be expensive because of extra plumbing and electricity, def not something you can diy without experience

@@slena Would have to be approved by the HOA Board as those pipes service everyone above and below her. Would have to be some kind of work around. Condos function much differently than standalone homes or even townhomes. Many more reno restrictions.

Agreed! Love the vibes

Exactly my thought

The only downside of hardwood floors, is that it costs more to install. I would say to go for lament floor.

Yup, exactly what I was thinking!

@@khalilahd. bruh I see you everywhere 👀

Most likely wouldn't be approved as it's probably load bearing.

😭😭 thank u so much!!

Couldn’t agree more! So proud

Right? I love it!

Agree!!

Hell ya! ✨
