Amanda, you all did an amazing job and accomplished SOOOO much in a VERY short amount of time! 😅 The entire place is completely transformed and feels like a cozy little cottage. It’s beautiful. I literally squealed when I saw that flower shop picture because I just got one a few weeks ago-completely outside my comfort zone, but just so cozy and and so beautiful, so that was a my favorite item! The bathroom had the best glow up, and that faucet in there looks like an old telephone! 😍 Some things I would add when the budget allows are some Floor Pops for the bathroom floor, a hangin plant to the right of the mirror, and a trinket dish for like watches, eyeglasses, jewelry, etc., and maybe a scooper for the ground coffee. Congratulations on another job well done! Thanks for the content and inspiration. 😊 p.s the English chestnut stain has become a new favorite in my house, so stunning on a variety of woods!

OMG Amanda! You and Jacob absolutely smashed it 😍 You encompassed everything you need in a small studio apartment and then some. The separation for the areas worked amazingly well and it doesn’t look cramped despite the small space. I would be more then happy to stay there, it would be fab if your Mum could send you some pictures or video from after she’s finished adding her final touches ❤❤❤

Great job, Amanda, to you, your brother, and Mother. When your brother hung that towel in the kitchen. I thought how cute it would have been to see one of your own kitchen towels(new spring designs) hanging there. It's great marketing and fantabulous decor. The apt turned out wonderful.

It's absolutely fabulous 👌 👏. Well done you guys. Your Mumma must be so proud 🎉

Having recently returned from a trip where we stayed in a couple of air bnbs, one host had small square power “strips” on each bedside table. Each square had a couple of plugs and a couple usb ports so it was super easy to plug in our electronics to charge overnight. Little touches like that make all the difference in customer satisfaction.

One of my favorite things: that you speak in a Normal cadence instead of that crazy social media voice everyone adopts. Your natural voice is soothing and great job btw!

I am amazed how you were able to make outdated cabinets look new just with paint and hardware. I have 1950’s style cabinets which are not very high on the uppers and not very deep and are high underneath and deep but still don’t offer very many options. The cabinets seem to be flush into the wall. It was like that when a family member purchased the house on the 1970’s nothing has been updated and needs a refresh but I don’t know the right paints that won’t peel over top of the old paint (the paint is chipped) how do I make sure I’m getting the right paint? I loved everything you did in this space! Love to see more (I liked the tiles in the bathroom, the oval pink rug and the hooks in rooms) and i love how you transformed a silver lamp into gold beautiful touch! The black was subtle and not heavy! Loved the makeover!

Just out of curiosity, why would you need to close yourself off in a space that is 8 ft wide? This is a one person/couple AirBnb situation. I mean if the sight of your husband making coffee is going to disturb you, you’re probably going to need some earplugs and a sleep mask too.

Mattress protector and a rug for the lounge area

I love it! So sweet and cozy. Light and airy, too. I would pull that bed out those few inches and use the full length curtains. It adds so much ambiance with the filtered light it provides. (Plus those cheap shades need to go!) You could also add a multi-functional, circular, padded ottoman between the two chairs to add a useable surface for foot propping, extra seat, playing board games, and even as an extra surface for dining (if it has a reversible hard surface to use as additional table space. Or use a large, flat circular tray for mealtime.)

I love those “extra touches” in short term rentals! Extra thought goes a long way, feels inviting, like you’re wanted there, and makes it feels like home.

A little teak stool for the tub would be nice,also a handy place a phone Jack/charger. Love everything else you did too!

It’s cozy, light and airy! Well done. It is nice to see family members working together. Mum should be very proud!

Such a beautiful room and place to stay. Great vision for a small awkward space! The only thing I would add is some hangers for dress clothes, in the "closet " area.

That Shelf is so cute and useful but it's hung on the Wall with only 2 Screws. Because it is placed right next to a Door, (which by the way looks very nice in this Room)...that's going to be opened and closed hundreds of times, i'm worried that the Screws might eventually come Loose from the vibration* of the Wall and some Stuff hanging from it's Rod. There's a high possibility that the heavy wooden Shelf could fall down and hurt Someone sitting on the cute Bench below. Maybe adding a few white painted Small L- Brackets on the Top of the Shelf might add some Extra Stability and 'peace of mind' without changing the overall Look of the Piece.😊 Btw. I enjoyed your Video very much, Everything in the Room looks so beautiful.👍🏼👍🏼 * like some visible Drywall-Screws near frequently used Doors.

It's amazing how people can make a tiny, dark space into something so cozy, cute and functional. I love what you guys did. ❤❤

This studio apartment makeover was my favorite of all 3 spaces. You and your brother work really well together and focused on helping your mom to create 3 income producing properties that will allow your mom to have her independence, but still tie your family together. I wish kids saw the importance of supporting their parents and helping them to find creative ways to keep income coming in. I would add either curtains that didn't necessarily close off the bedroom, but would add definition or if possible some type of door with glass inserts that could have window film in them for privacy and still let the light in. I would move the basket under the desk into the bathroom or find a different container to show guests that the "in case they forgot something" supplies were available. I think there could be a way to add some storage under the bathroom sink that might be helpful. I love how you showed how you painted the kitchen cabinets with Beyond Paint and you explained you don't have to sand or do a lot other than clean the cabinets before using the paint. This really helped me understand I can do the same thing. Your brother Jacob needs his own KZread channel. He is very talented. Well done.❤

Am so impressed with this apartment makeover...its so inviting and cosy without being over crowded and fussy. Fabulous space. ♡

I really love how it turned out. It feels cozy. You do a great job with a tiny budget. The only things I would change would be take the basket out from under the desk and put it under the bathroom sink and tuck 2 little stools under the desk and it becomes multifunctional....a desk and eating space. I would also switch the garbage can under the bathroom sink for something more aesthetic. However they are minor things. I enjoy watching your makeovers

@@cathycoryell2351 you can’t stand in front of the sink if it’s centered because the bathroom is so small and you would have to lean over the toilet - so this gives a sink and counter space to the side.

Looks great, lots of nice upgrades. Maybe one of those curtains in the bedroom for some privacy, going across into the living room.

Amanda, the studio turned out better than I could have imagined. You and your Brother killed it. It actually appears bigger than the empty tour. Everything seems fit to size and feels like a home not just an airbnb. I love this one the best. Tell your Mom I wish her all the success running the Airbnb. Her guests will want to repeat their stay 👏🏼👍🏼🫶🏼🏡

This is the sweetest little studio airbnb! I'd love to stay there if ever I were in that area. You and your brother did a marvelous job updating and refurbishing it. Hope that your mom gets many visitors.

I agree you need a mattress cover!! Very important with a AirBnB, more sanitary. The space you did looks fabulous!! Such an excellent job. Lots of hard work! You also need a shower curtain liner since that is not a waterproof type shower curtain, and most pretty ones do need a liner that will fit into the tub upon showering. Add two tiny chairs to the desk area, more likely to be used to eat at versus the little table. Also I agree with previous commenter that a nicer bathroom trash can would help decorate that room!! It looks wonderful as it is though, for sure.

Love it that you and your brother were able to transfer the entire place into something so cozy yet functional. Love the little details and touches you added...simply lovely, great job!

Looks very comforting, inviting. Nothing faddish about the suite. Timeless fashion. Well done.

It's a beautiful renovation! I would suggest to put an easy to clean shower stool into the bathtub. Because you can't really stand up if you want to shower the other option would be kneeling down and that might not be very comfortable for some people

Absolutely gorgeous. What love you put into this endeavor. We stayed in an airbnb last week in Scottsdale and it was a complete dump. Pictures lied and the house was actually filthy. You are lovely people.

Beautiful. So cosy and welcoming. My (small) changes would be to paint all the mirror frames gold and also the handles on bedside lockers gold. I would also have ordered gold/brass handles for kitchen presses. Last thing I would do is move the beautiful mat under the two gorgegeous armchairs and the stunning coffee table so it defines the lounge/sitting area and give a smoother free flowing space from the entry and from the bedroom.❤

At first, I cringed at painting the kitchen cabinets (I loved the wood.) But the white opens up the whole apartment nicely. Well done. Beautiful makeover.😊

You might switch out the curtains for drapes that don’t let light through. That will increase the effectiveness of the illusion of room height. Right now it just looks like curtains hanging above the short windows. You need to clean the paint off of the outlet covers 😉 I love that your family works together ♥️

Very nice. You can always add some drawers in wheels for under the bed. The hanger at the door will cover the light switch when there are coats hanging there. The cabinets are fab! I love the black faucets and accents. You could always paint the bathroom floor a grey with tile paint to tie in mor with the colour scheme. ❤

You can sense their joy as they do all tasks needed for the transformation. 🧡

Spot on !!! Very hood use of the space!! Fresh and bright looking ❤

I love it! I would add a (maybe semi-transparent) curtain where the bedroom is so you don’t have to look into the entry and kitchen from the bed…

Actually i'm blown away by how cute the whole place looks !

Love it! Your brother's handiwork is priceless for the makeover!

Looks great! Nice that your brother is so handy and willing to help you! 🎉😊

You accomplished everything you intended to. It’s wonderfully cohesive and sooo inviting. It’s a lovely little sanctuary.👍

I would love to spend a couple of days in this super cozy air bnb. You, your brother and mother did a great job. Seriously though, I want to stay there.

Painting over natural wood is never an upgrade, just a change that can chip and discolor. Natural wood is warm, and classic.

It’s perfect-has everything a person needs! ❤️👍

Kitchen countertops and new stove look so much better

Love the neutral colors, designated spaces, and long curtains. The entire makeover is fabulous!

I love that it is not cluttered or overly furnished. You kept light, airy, and calm. Just perfect!!! So beautiful and inviting. The floating shelves really enhanced the seating area. Well done you two👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

It's cute! I'd take the rug out the kitchen and put it under the table and chairs in the sitting/dining area. I'd put up a makeup light, mirror, and charging station at the desk and a couple sturdy suit hangers by the door. At the last place we stayed (in NC) the owner put out books on the shelves, coffee table, bedside- about the area's history, regional arts and crafts, folklore, ghost stories, foraging, bird spotting- we loved all that and ended up doing a fair bit of reading at night while listening to the frogs and crickets.

Love the painted cabinets & the bath faucet & hand shower! Thanks for the product recommendation too. The only things I’d add would have been to paint the insides of the doors to finish off the job so they matched the front color, add more curtain panels so they can close for extra warmth & added privacy, add a waterproof mattress cover to protect & keep the bed sanitary, use a swivel TV mount so it could be viewed from both rooms (place a bit lower on the wall), and add some hangers at entry to the rod or in the baskets above . Great job!

It truly is a cool car! Just right for a very cool family. For being 37 yo., it’s in excellent shape! You guys are going to have so much fun with it! And who says you’re not rich & important? As always, thanks for sharing! 😊❤

What a cozy beautiful place! I think it makes a great Air BNB, simple yet elegant!

plug the microwave into the outlet that is closest, so you don't have to look at the ugly cord. Let each of the appliances have their own outlet. The cords look ugly. Hide them with other items on the counter if need be. Change out the dingy yellowed outlet covers with new white ones. Hang a floating shelf above the desk. A floor lamp for extra lighting. Overall, the studio apartment looks really nice. great job!
