    Gigi Castorina is the owner of Gigi’s House of Frills, a vintage and vintage-style lingerie store located in Toronto. It’s the new year and Gigi is looking for a fresh start, specifically, to revamp her storage room which is...a cluttered mess. Gigi is looking to hire her first employee in 2020 and needs her storage room to be super organized and functional for this. In this episode, Alexandra has a $550 budget to make Gigi’s space work. The challenge? Gigi has requested that Alexandra use as much vintage or second-hand furniture as possible and use peach, green and pink as her color palette. Can Alexandra turn Gigi’s messy back room into an organized, storage-friendly, vintage paradise? Watch the episode to find out!

    Gigi is so smart. She hired an organizer and interior designer for the same price

    Sweet girl...good luck to her and her business 👍

    Best makeover you've done so far. The use of secondhand furniture (1) gives you better quality than new stuff (2) costs far less (3) forces you to think outside the square (4) saves stuff going to landfill (5) reduces the potential levels of nasty fumes emitted from new stuff (Volatile Organic Compounds) and (6) ensures you have a look that NOONE else has !!!! Win win win win win xx

    The make-over looked gorgeous and really her personality! I also love the fact that Gigi made it clear that it wasn’t a bedsheet, it was a vintage curtain 😂

    Turned out so pretty! Several years ago I heard and adopted a single New Year Resolution that I recommit to every year: Do more of what works and less of what doesn’t work. 🙂

    Sooooo good!! I can't believe how good that dresser set looks in this space! Anywhere else it would look dated and waaay too much but there it's totally charming and so functional!

    • @AlexandraGater

      Couldn't agree more! Gigi's style is so fun!

    Love it! She should frame a vintage piece of lingerie too.

  • @valzartlounge561
    @valzartlounge561 5 лет назад +1

    I make the same resolutions each year but I also do seasonal refreshers. I moved next door to myself and now I'm REALLY purging stuff that I've accumulated over 20 years of moving around while in the military. There is a lot stuff that doesn't spark joy, just anxiety! OUT. IT. GOES!!!

    I came across this video and I was like: How haven't I found this before?! But yes, a new channel with videos of Alexandra to binge. And then I found out this is the first video and it's really new haha. In other words: Super excited for this!

    I would have never thought to put pink, peach and green together, but I love it!! Your choice for the dresser, shelf unit and desk are great and look so nice with the copper pipe! Homerun on this makeover!! 👍🏻

  • @rachelwilt4571

    @dyanalayng5507 4 года назад

    Great reno In a narrow room! I had a dresser like that, French Provincial, bought at Eaton's in the 1950s. Looks much better toned in pale green and blue. Curtains seriously better than that print one.

  • @mrstamburger
    @mrstamburger 5 лет назад +40

    Amazed at how big a transformation this was on such a small budget. Shows that even small little changes can turn something that isn't working for you into a truly inspiring workspace. Great work!

  • @ritasmith4335
    @ritasmith4335 5 лет назад

    So much better! Very organised and clean! Peach and pink don’t do it for me but they suit Gigi!

    Omg, that space was a hot mess. This is a miraculous makeover. So fresh & organized and I adore copper. A total win!
    My 2020 resolution is to get a good portion of my plants hung up. Happy New Year Alexandra!!

    @sandrab.3538 5 лет назад +7

    Instead of resolutions, I like to choose ONE word to carry me through the year. 2019 was "persistent," and that word enabled me to continue a year of decluttering my home. This year's word is "thankful," which I hope will let me see and appreciate all that I have and am able to do. Happy 2020!

    I love this! And, FYI, that's the machine I use to this date--my Mom's old Singer. Best machine ever, even if it is massive.
    I wish I could borrow you to help me utilize space in my place---I live in a historical building, which is amazing, but it does lend itself to limits---specifically for outlets and phone jacks. But I can't complain--I have half of a gorgeous house, and an enclosed porch. My goal for this year is to declutter and make my space more functional and your YT channel is a huge help!

    Like many people I have made many resolutions in the past and then didnt really complete. I am now just using January to contemplate what I really need to do to turn my home into a place that makes me happy and not ashamed to invite friends around. I have loads of de-cluttering to do and storage problems. So all this needs to be addressed. So I am looking forward to seeing future videos that could gives me some tips and inspiration. Thank you so much for all you do.

    Whaaat. Alexandra is going to KILL IT this year. Also, like, now I have TWO channels to enjoy your content (it's actually 3 if you count Coral with BUY OR DIY). YEEEESSSSSS TO ME!!!! I have long term resolutions but year is just a measure of time; the point is to keep working at it until you fulfill it (whether it be 1 week, 3 months or 5 years).

    I make a New Years Resolution every year!! Usually they are like “I hope to be more kind”, or “I wish I could be more dedicated to school”, but this year I did a detailed 12 month plan to achieve 3 major goals!! I’m so excited and pumped about 2020!!!!

  • @ModernGreenGoddess
    @ModernGreenGoddess 5 лет назад

    My New Years resolution is to update and organize my office and dining area. My office is really cute actually but I did it years ago and never changed it and I’m bored. The dining area has been a work in progress for years and I just want it done
