Today I'm showing you my completely renovated Toronto apartment. I can’t believe how much we accomplished in just four short months and I’m incredibly excited to walk you through the entire space. It’s really a mixture of modern and boho styles and the result is a comfortable, warm and inviting space that we love.

I love the way you married your boho whimsical style with Noah's industrial style, and added a lot of Japandi into the mix. I think it really works.

I agree!
Noah's office is my favorite room in your house. Colors are so great and warm. Good job.
I love how bright and light your new apartment is while still being warm, cozy, and welcoming.
The whole apartment is lovely. (And Lottie is adorable and an excellent display model!)
Lottie is such a beautiful cat with a sweet personality, she stole my heart😻. I love how she makes an appearance in most of the rooms adding more charm to your lovely home. Your apartment is very warm and inviting, a cozy retreat for the three of you, well done Alexandra and Noah. 👏🏻🐈🏡 Kudos to Carla for her talented filming skills!

First off, what a beautiful well designed place. Its cozy and comfortable while sophisticated and well edited. Congrats, you did a great job. Now, as far as the fridge goes, I like the black. I think it anchors the black stove and microwave as well as tying in the black accents through out the house. I feel a cream one would make the black in the stove and microwave feel like just something you settled for as the cost of having appliances.

Yes! When she mentioned SMEG I was totally yes, OF COURSE SMEG, but light colored fridge I am not sure about. So yeah,I agree it would really throw off the current balance of black and it would also maybe mean all the green and gold and cream would melt into one color and lose some of the impact of contrast that is present now. So big yay manifestation for SMEG, but perhaps keep it black?

Our neighbor, from whom we buy appliances, says he’d never sell us a Smeg fridge because they are not very good. I love the way they look but trust his judgment. Add to that they’re at the peak of the trend and so a couple of years from now, they’ll look dated.

@@TamarLitvot I was going to get a UNIQUE fridge, because it looks like a SMEG, but when I saw it was not a self defrost, I chose a good old Whirlpool.I am old enough to rmeber defrosting a fridge.What a waste of life.I wonder if the SMEG is a defrost or not...

@@smallhouseinthemeadow6131 I don't know about Smeg and defrosting, but totally agree with you. A manual defrost appliance will never enter my house! Even at my job -- we had an undercounter fridge with a freezer area -- the non-defrosting aspect became a huge problem. It actually started fights between people about whose turn it was to defrost the thing!
Brook linen bedding is really the best. I have other comparable linens, but I love brook linen most. A quick right out of the dryer and they stay just as smooth on the bed. I sound like a commercial, but, they really are amazing! The apartment is just perfect!

I looked at their site, they are very limited in pattern choices.
The best time to watch a video by Alexandra is... NOW! 🙂
Thanks for the tour. Your home is just that - A HOME. The wall art pieces are my favorite elements. This tour really reinforces that each piece was chosen deliberately. It's apparent that the process of choosing each piece was time consuming which lends itself to the value of personifying your home. All that is left undone is to experience making memories together. Enjoy.
I love your space. It is so cozy. I can’t wait to see how you decorate for Christmas.

Now that's a great idea but we've got Holloween, Thanksgiving, then Xmas... Oh & New Year... So will hopefully be more amazing designs to peek in on... Marvelous that You reminded US, All as we Love coming in Here... Everything is wonderful, stair runners, light fixtures, every space has so much warmth & it oozes With LOVE in every Corner... Just saying can't wait for what fall is to You Both... About 2 Weeks away or Less... Can't wait to see your Home & Office holiday decor updates... Bye for NOW . Gotta rewatch This Again & AGAIN...

I agree. I’d love to see a Christmas decoration video! I love how Christmas decorations can completely transform a place. Please do a Christmas decoration video.
Noah's office is so bright and cheerful. I'd only paint one navy accent wall, it would be a gloomy room all in navy.

Your home is beautiful! I enjoy watching you so much and get so excited when I see you’ve posted a new video. Your space is always so clean and clutter free you should do a video on how to keep your home “under control”. Again you do an awesome job!
Each room and each space is welcoming, cozy and light!
This is the best makeover you’ve done so far!!! I love that you took down the decal in the living room. It just looks so much brighter! I loved everything, truly everything!
love love LOVE 😍 I didn't think anything could top the Tree House tours, but damn. That Kitchen did it ❤️
I love how cohesive the woods and warm tones are with the personal touches. So sweet to see Harriet pictures and watch Lottie run around. It's very inspiring and exactly my ideal style for my apt.
Every space is perfection. Lots of LOVE went into redecorating it. It shows.
When you were talking about the litter box and you said "No one knows it's a litter box", I heard (multiple times as I rewinded) "And Noah knows it's a litter box" and I was like... were there issues with Noah confusing the litter box with something else? Lmao I'm dumb sometimes! Anyways, your house looks sooo beautiful! I love everything about it! Great job!!

Perfection! I love how cozy and beautiful every room is! Congratulations to you Alexandra and Noah and Lottie for your gorgeous and beautiful home!
I got so much inspiration from this season of my rental Reno. I’ve already incorporated lots of your ideas into my new space, I might even be painting my kitchen cabinets a similar color ;) thank you Alexandra for being such a bright light and source of positivity and inspiration for me! 🥺💕
Thank you so much Alexandra & Noah- that Ark you have created together is your refuge and haven. May it bring you peace , joy and the fridge of your dreams
I swear adding a table lamp to my kitchen is my favorite Alexandra hack of the year
Your apartment is so beautiful and cozy. What a great serene place. So wonderful you were able to remodel the apartment to your liking. I didn’t see a link to the little lamp in the kitchen. Lottie must have so much fun exploring! She’s so cute! And Noah doesn’t mind all your cool pompon decor which is so pretty. I like Noah’s office. Very relaxing.
Art, photography, designing, creativity, I love all these things. Love the boho lounge chair.
It was so fun to see the apartment completed as a whole. You can really see the thoughtful flow of design from one space to the next. It is so beautiful, love it!!💕
In the end your home turned out just lovely. The carpet to your upstairs is just beautiful. Noah's office is perfect. Every room is an eclectic feel which is my favorite. The most important thing is, that no matter what we think or say is that you and Noah are happy with your space and you are generous to share and grow from your experiences.I've watched your videos from way back when and you have come such a long way.
This is the most beautiful apartment I have ever seen.It is warm, cozy, welcoming and decorated to perfection.The landlord must be thrilled because if they ever move out, he can get three times the rent.Alexandra, Noah and Lottie are a beautiful family and I wish them many years of love, joy and happiness in the incredible home they have created together,
I love everything about this apartment. The apartment feels clean and airy and at the same time, very cosy. I absolutely love the whimsical that you incorporate in the design. An example of whimsy that I truly adore, is the bird light fixture in the kitchen (that wasn’t even mentioned in the video). The styling is perfect!
I love your home and I can see why Noah does, too. :) You have made it so cozy and stylish (coziness in a home is the most important thing to me). Well done, you! ♥♥♥
You have put so much work into creating such a gorgeous home! You deserve to enjoy all the cozy vibes ❤
The apartment is so warm and inviting. Cozy in winter and airy and bright in summer! Just perfect! Great job! I hope you and Noah and Lottie spend many happy years in this comfortable home!
Very nice! It all came together fresh warm and cozy!! Enjoy Alex, Noah & Lottie ❤️
Thank you Alexandra and Noah for inviting us along for the completed tour. I love all your hard work and decisions.
400 k on the way!!!!! You deserve it darling girl...especially Lottie.
I liked it before I watched it. I know I'll love it :)
Every room is so beautiful! I’m so happy for you and Noah! Thank you for sharing with us. ❤️
Love the rug on the steps. Looks like real vintage Persian!
Can’t wait until you finally get a home and can really do whatever you want! I’m excited to see what you’d create!
Love your stair treatments, and the kitchen especially, love the pigeon color.
Hey AG team! Just wanted to take a moment to show appreciation for your ongoing positivity, style & wholesome home content...also, lottie, always lottie 🤣 🐱 I’m so happy to see the care & amazing vision crafted into this space, it especially hits a soft spot for me when it’s from people repping my hometown! Much love for your amazing channel -and those hilarious reference clips in the edits! ♥️
What I love is how you and Noah are creating your home -- and lives -- together.
@Alexandra. You're apartment makeover is wonderful, fantastic. 👏 Your best work yet. My favorite room is the kitchen. You & your dad did great work. Blessings to you and yours 💕. 🙏
I love love love the bird light and the kitchen! It was so nice to see you and your Dad working together! I don't know who was more excited you or your Dad! ❤
Congratulations, Alexandra! Your home is glorious! It is indeed cozy and inviting. Those of us out here in cyberspace can feel the warmth, care, and love you put into the renovation.Thanks so much for sharing with all of us.
This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Every single part of this apartment! My dream!
If you have your heart set on a cream color Smeg fridge you should have it - but - the black stove, fridge, and stools play off each other and together they make a nice counterpoint to the lighter elements in the room. Your apartment is dreamy!
Beautiful apartment for you, Noah and Lottie. I’ve loved your apartment series and I’m so bummed it’s over.
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤️ 🎀 ❤️ 🎀
I love all of it! It’s so bright yet cozy 😍
I really like all of it!!! So open, bright, and airy. Beautiful couple, amazing home, and sweet sweet Lottie!! Congratulations!!!
Love, love, love your apartment! I adore the colors, the lights, the styles, it all works together so beautifully! Fantastic job Alexandra and company.
The way I got an ad by you from Square at the start of the video 🥺 honestly a proud moment
What a dream space! & dream landlords too! Love what you did with the place great job Team AG
That was really fun to watch! You have a great team. Enjoy your beautiful home.
Beautiful, homey, creative and relaxing! You have created a gorgeous and cohesive home. My favorite is the kitchen…it just stunning. Well done AG and team!
I like the entire space, and I think the top down approach for the tour is really smart! When you’re done, you can just say thanks for coming, here’s the door!
I'm in loooove with your kitchen! Stairs... what a transformation. Beautiful job on all your spaces Alexandra.
You've done sooooo much in such a short period of time.🤯😍 As always, great job Team AG! 💕
Thanks for the tour of your house. It was very fun to see the whole thing completed. It turned out great. Have a Wonderful day.
I love your energy. It inspires me to update my decor. I got inspired to drape a gold necklace from a blue vase on a shelf, where the vase is surrounded by pictures of my sons.
Well done! It really is cozy. The pink stair runners….love, love, love. The kitchen perfect.
I love the apt reno. It reflects both your styles coming together and I can see it further evolving as you both continue to live in the space.
You and Noah did such a good job Alexandra. Your place is so beautiful, warm and cozy.
Absolutely gorgeous. By far the best makeover you've done!!
Noah's office is my absolute favourite.
Wow, I love your apartment, everything is so nicely done. Love the corner seat in the kitchen by the window. The island is so nice to have, and the color is so nice. Living room window is so neat with the glass above, and the little deck must be so nice to have. Bedroom seems like a nice sanctuary and the office is so nice with the storage, relaxing chair and book case and the desk is is nice, really liking the adjustable height desks.
I've been following you for a longggg time and I've always loved your style so much! I was so freaking excited when I saw you were moving into a new space because I knew that meant a full on makeover/reno 🥰🥰 and can I just say you NAILED IT. Your home is so beautiful Alexandra, I'm obsessed. It's been such a pleasure following this series. I'm most definitely manifesting a home this beautiful for me tonight, and a SMEG fridge for you, ofcourse.
I loooove the moroccan touches with the tiles and the rug♥️ and btw I’m moroccan so it makes me so happy to see other countries use products from our beloved country🇲🇦🇲🇦
So beautiful and so inspiring! What a thoughtful, cohesive, and peaceful home. I can totally understand how Noah can come to bed at night with words of joy and pride. Well done love, welcome home
Your new together home looks great. There are trendy touches but nothing is cookie cutter about the decor. Thanks for sharing your journey.
It turned out cozy & all works together. Simple but yet unique.
Congratulations on the completion of the renovation! 🎊🎉👏🏾🥂💖 It certainly has been a journey and I am delighted that you both have your home set up and designed in a way that works for you both. Homes are ever evolving and I am sure things will change over time. You and the team are awesome! I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. 🎉🎊💖👑
So happy for you! Its beautiful!
Love, love, love. Such a warm and sweet space you created.
Best makeover!!! Your apartment is fresh and cozy at the same time.
Alexandra, you did such a great job and I’m so glad that you had family and loved ones to help. Your kitchen tiles are amazing and your stairs look absolutely beautiful. That makes me want to have a multi story house so that I could do some thing like that because I love what you did!! It’s also beautiful, I was torn between Noah‘s office and your kitchen but I think your kitchen is just amazing and I loved watching your dad help you!!!
Love, love, love your apartment! It's been a joy watching the transformation and you've done an amazing job!! Love it...now looking at my apartment and wondering what I can upgrade next!!
I'm obsessed with the birdcage light future in this kitchen. I adore how the kitchen came out. Definitely my favorite room.
Excellent job Alexandra :) I really loved seeing the whole apartment come together. This was a great summary video! I'm surprised you didn't mention the arch pantry door you manifested! I love your ideas and your videos. Thanks for sharing with us.
I am always had a table light in the kitchen I think it’s so welcoming and cozy
Your apartment is absolutely lovely. It had such great bones and you made the most of every room. I was surprised there wasn’t a rug in the bedroom though. And I agree about painting Noah’s office (or maybe an accent wall) a darker color to bring out the colors of the beautiful rug. Well done all around!
Truly stunning! Beautiful and sophisticated, but cozy, comfortable, warm, and inviting, all at the same time! Thanks for the grand tour! It was worth the wait! 💙
I really love the art pieces that you pick. They are unconventional and so stylish.
A Black SMEG will be a smart addition, encourage you to get bottom freezer type, since your view of the upper contents will be so much easier to reach items without the hunch over scramble of scuffling for the wanted elusive item in the far back corner. Your home is lovely, delightful and fresh, as you. Great presentation
so lovely how it all turned out- thank you for opening up your home and sharing it with all of us. Best Wishes
Absolutely beautiful…every inch! I love the green paint color, actually love the whole color palette!
Your new home perfectly illustrates what hard work and determination can achieve when you mix in talent like yours. Beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing.
You should be so proud of your designed the apartment it's beautiful!! I love the mix of bono and industrial together works really well!!!
Your home is warm and bright! A wonderful place to unwind. Great job. 💕
Sooo happy you and Noah are finally home home. I know I don't feel good or comfy in a space until I've made it mine. Just wanted to say that and to thank you... been using your videos as a reference point for all the reno my husband and I will be doing the next couple of months on our new home. :)
Love your new apartment. It's so pretty, practical and bright. Glad Noah likes it too. Love your videos, your design and your comedic personality. Keep up the good work. 🦋
I love how cohesive the space is! I think you’ve done a beautiful job ♥️
The soft color of the carpet on the stairs is beautiful and peaceful. Love the squiggle art piece. Very cool light fixture in kitchen. Brava!
The place is just beautiful! You guys did amazing job renovating and redecorating your home. It’s such a warm and cozy space in every corner! Love it!!! ♥️✌🏼
Beautiful home.and Lottie modelled the rooms perfectly too. Aw the very best in your cosy home xx
I don't normally agree with all of your makeovers…. but I'm respectful of them. However, I would live in this apartment. I would live in this apartment as is, it is gorgeous. Is gorgeous. I think it's because you incorporated more Noah and it gives your apartment that more slightly masculine feel even though there's a lot of pink and I love pink. I think it's your best work yet . It's so inviting and warm and it feels luxurious even though we know the price point is not topped here. I. I would live in this apartment as is right now and I would pay good money to do it.. You should be so proud it's gorgeous.
I love everything about this! Extra thumbs up for the kitchen!
Beautiful ❗ so fresh and cozy. I have a lamp on my kitchen counter also. And in the bathroom.
Absolutely beautiful! So cozy & warm!
Oh my how beautiful and comfy your home looks. It must feel very homey good. I truly think this lovely place would be my dream place to live. Very cool.
