    Hey guys! I'm Alexandra Gater and I show you how to do rental-friendly upgrades and DIY projects on a budget. New videos every Saturday! Today I'm turning this 375 sq ft tiny studio apartment into a boho dream with tons of bold colour. Even though this tiny studio is all open, I was able to create designated areas for the bedroom, living room and office using functional storage solutions (like the brilliant Ikea Kallax!) I hope you love this makeover!

      Your team does such an amazing job you deserve all the praise & hoopla you always get & more I never though the boho look was for me until I saw this makeover you & Graham work so hard & you also”jive” together 💜I really want to know the name of the mirror with the Psalm Tree in the middle & also the name of the art in black of the two women hugging I have old that desperately needs to be updated 😊

      Hello, this video doesn’t have subtitles available. Usually your videos do so I don’t know what makes this one different or if there is something you can do to change that.

      This is seriously one of my favorite makeovers. Truly AMAZING. But please, for the love of god cover up those cords!!! Especially for wall sconces. It looks extremely unfinished with the swag lamp not having a chain and it being an open exposed cord or a wall sconce not having a cord cover. Every time that cords are left uncovered it confuses and baffles me.

    AG doing the voiceovers for Graham's INSANE custom pieces is always my favorite part because she makes it sound easy, he makes it look easy, but we all know it's just pure T A L E N T on his part. It shouldn't shock me anymore the things he can build. 🙌🙌

    • @kickitlikekirra
      @kickitlikekirra ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Exactly why I clicked it! While her usual aesthetic is beautiful, it's also predictable and not for everyone, in addition to slowly becoming dated with a certain era of DIY and YT design.
      NONE OF THAT IS INHERENTLY BAD, just limiting/limited. 🤷🏽‍♀️

      Wonderful job. The orange was just too bright for me. Perhaps if the unit under tv had been stained instead of painted, it might have toned the orange down a little. Sorry, loved everything else. Especially the work station. Damn, wish I could have seen the headboard.

    I am actually so surprised to come across this channel. These kind of makeovers are usually so tacky and cheap looking but you truly go for good quality furniture and actually put in immense effort. Just wow. The fact that you even knew to get inspo from another black female designer … just bravo. Truly amazing designers! 🎉

    Ricki's reaction was so enthusiastic and genuine! It was such a complete transformation that I was surprised myself seeing the reveal, even though I watched the video from the beginning! Wallpaper, rug, bedspread, that leather sofa, the Kallax shelf, the desk, all the custom pieces (Graham is a genius!), and even the stools in the breakfast nook were perfect design choices! Brilliant! I loved it! 💙💙💙

    Wow! Just WOW! I’ve been binge watching your channel and I LOVE your designs. The way you implement your client’s wishes and needs for functional spaces just makes me so happy and this show was one of my favorites so far.
    My husband and I live in California (Northern) and he’ll be retiring in a few years. After a lot of research and soul searching, we’ve decided to stay and retire here in our home of 22 years.
    After watching your shows, I’m just invigorated and I’m already implementing your styling ideas, repurposing items, making plans to reinvent spaces, and you have totally inspired me.
    Thank you and continue doing what you do! ❤️❤️❤️

    @violetcyclops 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Ricki's reaction is my favorite so far! It was so sweet as she noticed different parts of the room, I have to imagine that the team felt extra appreciated that day. All the custom changes were so functional and cool!
    I really appreciate that they ask about the person's priorities for their space. Entertaining is fun but it's not the primary function for most people's tiny spaces, it was nice seeing all the thought put into her workspace. I also appreciate that even with minimal direction, they committed hard to the style in the video and got creative, rather than default to their own go-to styles!

    It's been a while since I commented, but I just have to say that Ricki's reaction is everything. She seems like such a joy and I imagine it must be just as rewarding for Alexandra and the team to see someone loving their work as it is for Ricki to see her hard work being rewarded with a beautiful space to call her home. Bummer about the head board.

    I immediately went online to purchase that amazing Jungalow palm mirror at Target, and besides being gorgeous, it weighs A TON. Just dragging it from my building lobby into my apartment was exhausting enough. I had to rest until the next day to take it out of the box. Unboxing is a real workout y’al!!! So I have even madder respect for Team AG for making unboxing look easy (it is not).

    I think this has been one of your most elegant, beautiful/functional transformations. The wall color is an absolute hit, specially with the TV console (absolutely beautiful) and the Kalax painted to match... It really created a completely separate room. The 'office' chair is gorgeous with its touch of glam. Graham's creations were pure genious, fuction and beauty. Loved her reaction, she was blown away; I think you went beyond her expectations. Congratulations, love your designs and your wonderful team... All of you are very fortunate to work together.

  • @koukounut
    @koukounut ปีที่แล้ว +53

    I really enjoyed seeing this super bold makeover. The office and living room truly looks so beautiful. I think it would be even more perfect if the accent wall color were brought over just a bit more to the left to include the width that the kallax takes up, so that there's no little white gap no matter what angle you stand at, and it'd make the kallax feel a part of the wall since it's the same color!

      Have to agree about extending the wall color. Maybe they planned to but sofa or rug size dictated otherwise. Love this too! But why not give her the headboard later? Especially once she sees the video, she's going to wonder the same thing. TFS

      @@serenakoleno9338 That was my first thought about the headboard, that she could get it later. But upon seeing the final result, I think the headboard would have been too much in that small space, so it all worked out perfectly.

      Yes! I can't afford any new, or even "better" used furniture, so everything that I seek is as cheap as can be, (I have an extremely small Social Security income, so I pinch all my pennies hard!), so it's thrift stores, yard sales, Facebook Marketplace... all good sources when you have the time to keep looking.
