Hey guys! I'm Alexandra Gater and I show you how to do rental-friendly upgrades and DIY projects on a budget. Be sure to follow me on Instagram for our monthly video schedule! In today's video, I'm transforming a cozy 253 sq ft studio apartment into a mid-century modern dream. I'm sharing tips on how to create separation in a studio apartment and a DIY project that turns a previously non-existent entryway into a functional (separate!) area.

    I love this makeover!! But can we please stop calling grahams professional woodworking projects that take days, sometimes more than a week, to prepare beforehand “diy”? Sure, technically he did it himself, but he (probably) spent a lot of money outfitting his workshop and has the vibe of a fourth generation woodworker

    I don't think the same as you. I believe these videos show a great capacity for creativity and that when it comes to decorating a space, you don't necessarily need to consider only the furniture already designed and made by a company. Instead, you can create something based on your own needs. Later, you can decide whether it's better to do it yourself or go to a professional to design and/or build it. Greetings, Alexandra, from Uruguay. I hope to win a consultation with you!! 💖✨

    What I most love about this particular redesign is in practice how few major things changed, meaning, how many of his original piece you kept in their original places. And yet, the changes you made were so impactful! It goes to show, you can be on the right track but still not quite have it all tied together. It takes that creative thought to take it up to that level. This is why you're the professionals!!!

    Yesssss, if Alexandra wanted to work in another type of segments, she could have those kind of styling sessions with people preferably some of her viewers. The viewers can send in design inspiration and she could have in-store events at home since sponsored by HomeSense, where she walks the mini-groups or individuals around the store and show them some of the real pearls there at the store and also to show them how it could be styled in their space. The styling in space peace could be virtual like schematics, and if the peopyle choose to use those pieces they would then follow up with a photo op of how it was installed in their space. I'd watch the show!

My BF has the same type of space so I want him to see this video but my BF kitchen is literally foot room 3X3 to walk in. Smallest kitchen I have ever been in. The back of his fridge is in his hall closet but the fridge front is in the kitchen. Looks like your client's personal make over (haircut) is amazing as well but, I thought he was nice looking with his longer hair too. His personality shines!

    Why so much entrance space and to little left at the end of the bed, to make it easier to make up the bed. The new wood canopy should be 30 to 50cm closer to the door. The entrance takes up the same space as what is left for the bed.

    Was just thinking the same thing! A little more space around the bed would’ve been more functional. A small gap at the foot and against the wall. He can push the bed flush when he’s got guests and pull the arm chair further out to maximize the social area. These tiny tweaks that could be done would’ve drove me crazy 😭

And then you confirmed my original hunch. I’m happy for my colleague to have this lovely place to go home to. Well deserved. ❤

And it wouldn’t have taken away from the entry way because it was quite large anyways. And Second, I feel like we haven’t been seeing enough reactions to the custom features you’ve made for these people! In this one, it’s the hidden acting backdrop. I get so excited about how clever y’all customize things and then we don’t even see what they thought! It’s a bummer honestly! But again, beautiful makeover 🤍🤍
