VIDEO UPDATE ALERT 🎉 I gave my kitchen a little decor refresh and reorganization. You can check it out here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oXh60NCej6a2lqg.html

I love that you do styles other than farmhouse. It’s so hard to find channels that do other styles.

Hi Angela! Thank you! I used to do farmhouse, but my style has changed quite a bit. I'm loving playing around with some of the other decor trends!

@@ActuallyAlli your channel is amazing. I’m still waiting for the moment when Russian bloggers start at least farmhouse style instead of SCANDY IKEA🥲

It looks great! Also glad you showed things that “ didn’t work so well” for you because that’s what will happen to all of us🤪

Wow you totally changed the space! I love that you showed a way to remake your kitchen without painting/covering the cabinets and counter. So good! Thanks for the inspo

I'm glad I could inspire you! I tried to keep it as realistic as possible for other renters as I could!

You can level out your stove by the feet. Usually there are "screw feet" that can level out the stove. It will actually help with making your cooking more even because oils aren't pooling on one side and burning corners.

Your designs are much more effortless and realistic than other channels - It turned out so beautiful and inviting - thank you for being here for those of us who are just too busy for everything else - warm wishes and may you have the best of luck with your channel

Amazing how just changing the color of the pot holders can make such an impact! Well done and very lovely!

Thanks Ellen! I definitely didn't make major changes, but just like you said, it feels like a different room!

Yes!! Awesome just little changes,but they make a difference!!👍👍♥️😊😊🌲🌲🎀🎀

Lady !! My kitchen is just like yours and you really inspired me to finally tackle mine after a year of living in this new place ! Thanks 🙏

I really liked what you did in the kitchen. You did get it to the warm and inviting vibe. I especially liked the rug and the artwork.

It has so much warmth now ❤️🇦🇺

The end result is so pretty, warm, and welcoming. I liked that all of the changes are totally affordable, and can be done by most of us. Big impact at small cost. Thanks for posting this. You've made a new friend and subscriber.

I really loved this kitchen make over.

love the kitchen rug..and the colors you combine in the kitchen...

Absolutely delightful!

Way to go!! 👍 What a awesome transformation!! So glad you found your style other than Farmhouse. It is hard to find videos of other styles than Farmhouse or Boho. So this is so refreshing!! Thank you!! 😊😊

Very well done. Since watching this I don't feel so overwhelmed about redoing my apartment style galley kitchen

You’re fun to watch and your ideas are great

Alli, I just watched for the first time one of your videos off of your IG post but when you watch them thru that entity you cannot leave a comment so........I went to your KZread site and subscribed. I do not have any female friends to speak of literally other than IG friendships going onto 2 years plus and I wish I was a neighbor to many of them. I wish I was your neighbor too. I am sure I am a lot older than you but sometimes I get do excited when a DYI comes together I too do a little gig. Music or no music I do a gig. Your kitchen reno is outstanding. Wow, new wallpaper, a new rug, a placement of cutting boards, etc simple items that really add a wonderful pop to your kitchen. In my former residence of 20 years I had a galley kitchen without a bar but it had one long counter top not on the food prep/stove side and it was so nice to craft on. It looked out to a very long balcony and I faced the fountain which was soothing to listen to and create. On your IG post with a photo of your dining room you said your table is where you craft so usually you eat on your couch. Have you ever thought of crafting on your kitchen bar? In closing, I love the new basket for your candle melt warmer. You gave me a super idea to put my warmer in the kitchen. I know exactly what box in the basement my warmer is in and hopefully I have melts left called ocean. I think this year I will use the warmer on the nautical revamped porch I created last summer. I never thought of using it out there until this second. I had an outlet rewired ladt summer and a new switch plate put on near an old credenza I dragged home from someone's curb. I do not know what you do for your career but if you ever want a part time job, realtors are always looking for stagers. If your ever interested in that take a before photo of your space and a after. Get with friends to redesign there space even if it is only to get a portfolio together. My condo was used often to show as a model for potential buyers when the one bedrooms were filled with boxes and scattered furniture buyers could see the scale of the rooms when furnished. The first time I said yes for my place to be shown a stage came in and she told the office she woukd not change a thing in my apartment accept to turn on my electric fireplace and bring in fresh flowers for my vases. So I had a treat of having flowers from time to time. The stager set her own hours and just learned it from staging her own place and her friends and she made pretty good money part time. Sorry for the novel, now I want to go buy a rug too for the kitchen. The kitchen has little heat so a rug would add nice warmth too. Thank you for wonderful inspirations on a cold Virginia Saturday. Love, Rebekah

Awesome touches! I've wanted to use that wallpaper as backsplash also. I also like other styles besides farmhouse. Keep em ' coming ! 😊

Lovely little refresh! I actually prefer the current hardware to the ones you were going to swap it out for haha And you can pick up some white or black outlet/light switch covers for super cheap. That would really tie it all together that much more 👌🏻😊

Well done Alli!

I just screen shot so much of that after scene. Lol I'm about to move and I love your colors and placement!

Very nice. Looks much better. real plants with a cool grow light if you don’t get enough sun maybe in your next makeover. Cant beat nature.

I like the idea of the glass bottle pump for the dish detergent. I use an olive oil bottle, but it's a larger one and kind of cumbersome (wet hands, glass bottle lol). I think either one would keep me from squirting in too much dish soap. lol Great video! Thanks for sharing.

@@ActuallyAlli It is very simple to change out the entire outlet, and they are only a few dollars... just turn off the power at the fuse box and unscrew the old ones, hook up the wires to the new ones (Usually just 2 but possibly 3 wires), and screw them back up, takes just a couple of minutes and will definitely make the space look even better.

I really love the turn out you did a fantastic job.

You mentioned you couldn't cover the countertops with contact paper because they are already coated with epoxy, I am very new at all this and I don't know what you mean by that. I want to cover my countertops with contact paper but they have something already, now I'm wondering if it's epoxy, how can I tell? And why contact paper won't work on top of epoxy? Thank you!
