I absolutely LOVE that headboard.. and I think you did a fantastic job!!! ----> HOWEVER: as someone who spends 12+ hours a day at a computer, it's awful watching you remove ERGONOMIC chairs (that are good for the health if you have to sit a lot) with chairs that are good for people who only sit at their computer for 20 mins at a time. It's unrealistic and ergonomics should never be messed with.
Well Really, that new chair can also sear customers and the ergo one will also work if needed for long hours as she introduced enough black in the room to make it work !!! All in All, total Outcome is Marvelously done and thought out Perfectly... As one who needs ergo office chairs and am into decorating as well I Give this A Total A+++ Think she even thought about the extra ero Chair but for the reveal it needed cemetry & even in a Studio redo extra chairs are always needed when entertaining.. 👍👍👍👍 Great Job 🎯🎯💯✔️🥰
I think she will go back to her black chair, I thought the same thing too. What's nice is when there are people over she can use the new chair and put the black one in the closet or use it too depending on how many people are over. The new chair really helped stage the place though.
Every studio makeover I've seen only chooses a chair based on the look. So, it's hard to picture which and how a good ergonomic chair will look in a studio when I move.
Love all the warm tones together! And that headboard is stunning. Side note: Anyone else always scroll to the bottom of the comments on Alexandra's videos ready to fight any mean commenters? She gets so many unnecessarily mean/rude comments compared to others I watch. Alexandra is a gem.
Alexandra, I come to your channel to feel a lift in my mood. When I feel overwhelmed by what's happening in the world I come to your channel. I love the music in the beginning. It's very uplifting. Thank you!!! Don't let ANYONE, not even yourself, tell you that you are not a good designer. And you and your crew are sooo funny. Love ya'll.
A great way to divide the room is linnen curtains hanged from an ikea seiling rail, its super smooth and you can open the space when needed and completly close it up when u have guests
Stunning!! A drop down table which hangs flat when not in use under the kitchen window would be cool. With a couple of small barstools would be a cute dining space
From drab to fab! Now this is a space to enjoy coming home to and inviting friends over any time. The gallery wall is a winner! This makeover has so many good ideas for small spaces.
it's so good to see you not just work around the beige but work with it. It's so challenging especially when it's not at all a wall colour you'd gravitate towards if you had the choice. It isn't a colour that I personally love, but I love what you did with it, I really do. I honestly think it wouldn't look as good with cold white walls. I think the only way to truly be happy with renter beige like that is if you embrace it when choosing the rest of what has to go with it. If you just ignore it and pretend it isn't they're, it will always look out of place instead of something that actually looks good and cohesive. And you absolutely nailed that.
This is one of my FAV studio fixes!! Super cozy and very finished. The large size art pieces and rug are a good scale for the space. The curtains are really elegant. Love that you gave her so much extra storage. As a plant lover, I'm glad that you got a faux fiddle leaf fig considering it would not have gotten enough light where it was placed.
Sadly, as much as I hate faux plants and adore a fiddle leaf fig they ARE indeed finicky about their light and water and it is so nice to have a touch of beautiful greenery in the room. There ARE times to make an exception to one's preferences. The faux fig is perfect there and really adds a lot! Just like the wall color. White would not have looked as cozy and inviting as that yellow shade of beige (maize?) does. The result is stunning!
Thank you for the zip tie trick. I just bought a wooden frame thinking I could attach it to my old headboard. It did not, but I saw this and immediately said, "Hey babe! Alexandra Gater just said she zip tied a headboard to a bed frame!"
Love, love what you did to this space. I’m enjoying your makeovers and how we see the process from start to finish. So many channels are hardly doing these kind of makeovers anymore. Please keep it up!
I like makeovers like this where there's some kind of constraint (such as wall colour) that has to be worked with. Makes it interesting to see what solutions are found.
Pretty sure this is my favorite makeover of yours yet! To go from a totally blank slate & make her apt so homey & just beautiful!! And the renters beige - love that it was embraced & really shown as it’s best version of itself. 😂😍
Hi, love your makeovers. I wish I had known about your channel a yew years back , when I moved in Bordeaux France, could have used some of your tips for decorating. Here , studio appartements are really small. I lived in a 20 m2 (~215 sqft) appartement for 5 years. And it was a steel deal because it had electrical heating, no mold, new windows and no rats. I tip for you: I too used ikea packs for shoes but I hot glued a piece of wood ( ironically found it in the woods) on top. P.S sorry for any grammaire erros. English is my 5 language.
Most hated color turned to a beautiful unique abode! I thought it was a mistake eliminating the screen, but that headboard deserved to be seen! Blessed and safe days!
This was really nice to see just making the best of what is already there. As much as I love seeing spaces being repainted to bring new life, I don't think I would do it for time and money sake. I would love to see more makeovers like this
Okay Alexandra!🤯 I have to stop everything to not interrupting your videos. I save them and view several times. Some day I wish you could help when I move into my next apartment. Thank you for your videos.
The decorating choices are so beautiful using the wall color as a starting point. The colors and textures and lighting give off a warm, calm, and very cozy feeling. Your videos are so inspiring and helpful. Enjoying my coffee and your video on Saturday morning in San Diego.
I'm speechless Alexandra!! At first I really didn't like the layout you went for and I thought the color was to vomit lol. But you made it into a cozy inviting modern boho calm BEAUTIFUL space! And now I want it toooo! 😍😍😍😭💕❤️ I feel like this is eithe the one or one of the best makeovers you did! It's certainly my Favorit favorite
This is one of the best ones yet! Don't get stirred up about the negative comments. People are envious of your talent...continue to do your best and 😃 smile!
I have that West Elm coffee table that raises up in my studio apartment and it’s SO GOOD. Not only does it function as a dining table or desk when I need it, but having the storage inside was key. I added casters to the legs so I could wheel it out of the way when I bring my bed out (I have the Tandem Sleeper sofa from CB2)!
This was really beautifully done. Brava, team! I’m getting the feeling that moving in with stuff that doesn’t work for your smaller space is just as awkward as moving in with no stuff at all. You have that unique design ability to know what can work, which is where so many of us get stuck. .
I didn't think it was going to work because it was too masculine but no, it's beautiful! You know what you're doing - I've started watching more of your vids - I'm moving into a studio and need ideas! This one is beautiful.
Loved this makeover! ❤️❤️❤️ I’m dealing with renter beige right now and just got a warm rust couch-what a game changer. Starting to realize paired with the right colors it can feel so cozy. Thanks for the inspo!
The color palette and all of the rattans are stunning. Such a boho vide and makes me love the wall color so much!! Looks like you chose it for the design. Well done!
Beautiful makeover. What I like too is that because you moved her desk to the opposite wall, She could use it for her eating space because her kitchen looked really tiny. Love the warm colors. You truly made a home for her. The room divider could be used across her kitchen door for when she goes to bed.
Hanging netting around the bed is nice, the netting can be hung to hang halfway down from the ceiling. We hung beads around my daughter's bed and I've seen a curtain that's on a track in the ceiling running the length of the bed that she could leave open or close. Using command hooks to hang the rod is renter friendly.
I LOVE watching you, Alexandra, you have the face of an 18 month old. Reminds me of when my children were little and everything was joyful. You're also a pretty good decorator.
My absolute favorite yet! I really disliked the wall color, but after you finished, I didn't even notice it. Fabulous job! I'm going to try and incorporate some of your ideas in my study--if I can! (And you are always such a bright light!)
Ahh so excited you're doing an ep where you leave the renter beige walls! I know they're not typically seen as stylish, but I'm not allowed to paint my walls either so it's super helpful to see how spaces can be successfully styled with beige walls. The final product looks so cozy and you guys did a great job
I’ve heard that the light beige is replacing the grays as a new neutral, especially in Japandi and cozy minimalism styles. This apt is beautiful. I love the awesome headboard and that coffee table.
STUNNING!!!!!!!!!! The space looked so large after the makeover! The headboard is like something out of Lord of the Rings and that couch looked so comfy
WOW!! It's a completely different apartment now. I'm speechless. Super cute, chic, and cozy! I think I had to go back like another 4 times to rewatch the reveal till the end of the video.
Wow, that large rug and fabulous couch, plus the headboard . . . soooo goood. Everything looks great. I am so glad you are doing small space make overs. Love these. They were a favorite thing of mine during the pandemic; I think you were doing more work spaces then, but I just love a good, made over space!
Nailed it! Definitely getting a comment compliment. This is my favorite style with the rattan and blacks, neutrals, and textures. Very BOHO and I'm here for it.
One of my favorite makeovers you've done! I was really hoping you were going to pop a piece of light wood on top of the Ikea shoe cabinets to tie in with the rest of the wood accents and make it looks less Ikea, but still love it all!
Love iiiiiiit. I did not think I could love beige, but all that rattan and the picture frames and the black details really made it warm and cozy and lovely. AND THAT HEADBOARD!
Something I did as a room divider in a small space was get one of those rolling closet rods, hang all my viney plants from the rod & put a shelf on the bottom for bottom plants and it creates a rolling wall of greenery that can be easily moved around to divide spaces plus it’s not full coverage you can still get peaks through to the other side!
Well to you all who hate beige, I have a beige kitchen in one of my rentals. It's more like vanilla actually. It came with the fake light wood formica countertops. So I painted the cabinets moss green. I put in like this tan grass cloth type wallpaper as backsplash. And a couple times I styled it up, I used dark apple red accents, like red cotton rugs and dishcloths. Also some red and white checkerboard stuff too. With accent lighting on, it looks very cozy there. Like warm and gold.
THIS! Definitely one of my faves! Would some macrame been too much or too obvious? Anywho, I imagine James is behind all the hilarious & on point cameo vid slices (here: Gaga)… James, do you keep a massive collection of drama snippets in a folder or do you go searching for the perfect one each time? Or are they stored in that fun head of yours? They are always a massive add to the vids - good on you!
Love the dark touches in this space, and your other coffee table suggestion which can be used for dining. I love that you needed to work with renter beige, I think it made you more creative! Love studio fix. More like this please :)
I loved that you also brought in black and a darker brown to break up the different beiges and light browns! Also, the round cushion on the bed??? So cute!
Lovely! Such a good job working with the constraints of the space - you turned it from empty and a bit sad to warm, welcoming, textural and full of comfort... and super attractive, too.
Those doors to the left of the front door would be a great place for Wayfair's new secret passage bookcases. They are doors that look like a bookcase. You could use those as a starting point and custom the rest of the wall so it looks like just a big wall of shelves. That would be awesome!
I'm awed! 😲😱 Stunning final result 😍 I love this series and had missed it a lot. It's so cool to see the magic changing people's lives. You're a miracle, team AG! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is so good, Alexandra! You really made the renter’s beige work and it looks like you picked the colour intentionally instead of being forced to design around it!
I am someone who normally hates beige but I think Alexandra has really made it look both classy and comfy, peaceful and warm. To make it perfect I would add more plants.
Stunning before and after! ! love everything about this makeover (except the placement of the bed! Just for me, I don't want to wake up and see right into my Kitchen!) Net/tulle curtain (from IKEA) as a divider? I'm already looking up the headboard, linens and side table basket thing! Amazing transformation!
I understand what you mean, but if she had placed the bed anywhere else people would’ve probably complained that it’s too close to the door, that the bed is in the middle of the living space… I don’t think that there would’ve been a “perfect” placement for it in the studio
@@notjustirene4302 I would love it if gater and co would go through their floor plans decisions. I ways struggle with it and would love to know their procy!
I am the same. I have been in studio apartments for almost a decade and looking at a kitchen from bed is no bueno for me. However, I think blocking that doorway with a tension rod and a cute curtain would easily solve that problem if it bothers her.
Your designs have really grown up over the years. Thank you for finally making renter beige look delicious by pairing it with sexy blacks and trendy wood tones.
Would love to see how you style carpeted floors. I live in a rental with beige carpet and it’s been challenging to select the right rug for it… Also, would love to see families being featured in this series! My husband and I are expecting next month and living in a one bedroom (less than 500 sq ft)
Nailed it as usual Alexandra. Gorgeous transformation. Can we just talk about how fabulous Carla is? Her personality is a lovely addition to TAG, and she never fails to crack me up. 🦹🏻♀️
I agree with you! Not that I'm old lol (33 yrs) but back when I was growing up I remember it being the opposite - stark white in every rental and the walls could get dirty easily and just weren't easy on the eyes or at least that's how I felt at the time. I was actually excited when more places started making something in the beige color range more standard.
This turned out so beautiful! I feel like paint can really impact a space so it was so nice to see this for people who are not able to paint their walls,especially renter’s beige!
love how warm the beige walls make the room feel while the styling really makes it feels fresh and modern. i've been getting tired of only seeing white walls only being used when there's so many other great paint choices . great job team AG!
As a person who has lived with white walls for a number of years, I find the renters beige a cozy relief.
I absolutely LOVE that headboard.. and I think you did a fantastic job!!! ----> HOWEVER: as someone who spends 12+ hours a day at a computer, it's awful watching you remove ERGONOMIC chairs (that are good for the health if you have to sit a lot) with chairs that are good for people who only sit at their computer for 20 mins at a time.

Love all the warm tones together! And that headboard is stunning.

YES!!
God is great,Beer is good, and people are stupid!
Yes I am! 🙋
Everybody on the Internet has trolls, it's a sad reality keyboard warriors are there, not only our Alexandra.
yes
Fantastic makeover! I am 74 years old. I love your channel & truth be told I could live in this space. Awesome job!
Alexandra, I come to your channel to feel a lift in my mood. When I feel overwhelmed by what's happening in the world I come to your channel. I love the music in the beginning. It's very uplifting. Thank you!!! Don't let ANYONE, not even yourself, tell you that you are not a good designer. And you and your crew are sooo funny. Love ya'll.
Omg-Same. I'm in my depress stage and her channel is literally giving me life that I can't even explain.
Amen!
The mix of wicker and black metal ♥️, it’s a special place that actually feels like a home instead of a dorm room.
A great way to divide the room is linnen curtains hanged from an ikea seiling rail, its super smooth and you can open the space when needed and completly close it up when u have guests
This is one of the greatest Studio Fix eps yet.
That carpet did half the work! Such a great choice to get a huge carpet. It really grounded the space and made it a whole new room!
Always impressed with what you can do with such a small space, but equally as impressed with James’ edits and you and Carla’s dance moves 😂
Stunning!! A drop down table which hangs flat when not in use under the kitchen window would be cool. With a couple of small barstools would be a cute dining space
Now that's a great idea Tina and I love drop leaf tables that I did not think of it
From drab to fab! Now this is a space to enjoy coming home to and inviting friends over any time. The gallery wall is a winner! This makeover has so many good ideas for small spaces.
headboard is the star of the show no question
it's so good to see you not just work around the beige but work with it. It's so challenging especially when it's not at all a wall colour you'd gravitate towards if you had the choice.

Yess I love it! Such a great channel
I like makeovers like this where there's some kind of constraint (such as wall colour) that has to be worked with. Makes it interesting to see what solutions are found.
Beautiful makeover. I don't think I have ever seen a "renter's beige" that dark of a tan before. It is so cozy and inviting!
Hello! Longtime male fan and fellow creative professional with an actual friendly recommendation, don’t read your haters comments. I f with it.
I can't believe you made that wall colour work!! Well... actually I can!! you rock Alexandra!! :)
Right????? I couldn't vision it. Amazing transformation.
@@JaZmine147 ya, like she chose the colour!! I certainly couldn't have done it. haha
Pretty sure this is my favorite makeover of yours yet! To go from a totally blank slate & make her apt so homey & just beautiful!! And the renters beige - love that it was embraced & really shown as it’s best version of itself. 😂😍

Your English is very good.
You should try and do a basement apartment with smaller (basement) windows and a space that doesn't get a ton of light. Love this so much!
Most hated color turned to a beautiful unique abode! I thought it was a mistake eliminating the screen, but that headboard deserved to be seen! Blessed and safe days!
This is probably one of your best makeover! U made the rental beige so classy and modern! Well done!!
Now THIS is an actual challenge- working with a feature that is not working and make it work!!! Awesome 🤩
I like that you have fun together as a team and I think you’re getting better and better every day 🥰🥰🥰
I came here when there was zero dislikes, I hope it stays like that. Well done Alexandra!
This was really nice to see just making the best of what is already there. As much as I love seeing spaces being repainted to bring new life, I don't think I would do it for time and money sake. I would love to see more makeovers like this
Okay Alexandra!🤯 I have to stop everything to not interrupting your videos. I save them and view several times. Some day I wish you could help when I move into my next apartment. Thank you for your videos.
You made the coziest place on earth , as u said Alexandra...👌 Really loved this journey from 'nothing' to 'home🏡'...
Another one hit out of the park! All of the colors and textures meshing perfectly. Very good.
The decorating choices are so beautiful using the wall color as a starting point. The colors and textures and lighting give off a warm, calm, and very cozy feeling. Your videos are so inspiring and helpful. Enjoying my coffee and your video on Saturday morning in San Diego.
I know the biege walls were a change and for you but I think this makeover is one of my favorites. So good! Team AG did an amazing job.
I'm speechless Alexandra!! At first I really didn't like the layout you went for and I thought the color was to vomit lol. But you made it into a cozy inviting modern boho calm BEAUTIFUL space! And now I want it toooo! 😍😍😍😭💕❤️ I feel like this is eithe the one or one of the best makeovers you did! It's certainly my Favorit favorite
This is one of the best ones yet! Don't get stirred up about the negative comments. People are envious of your talent...continue to do your best and 😃 smile!
I have that West Elm coffee table that raises up in my studio apartment and it’s SO GOOD. Not only does it function as a dining table or desk when I need it, but having the storage inside was key. I added casters to the legs so I could wheel it out of the way when I bring my bed out (I have the Tandem Sleeper sofa from CB2)!
The nice thing about this style of lift-up coffee-table is that there are much more affordable versions available 😊
It doesn’t even look like the same space anymore! Wow just wow!
Grabbed my coffee, I’m ready for this transformation. Love from NYC! ❤️😘
also from NY so glad for the best part of my Saturday !
Also grabbed my coffee but I'm from India... She's amazing
Hi!! 👋🏻👋🏻
The gallery wall made a big difference and what a couch!
This was really beautifully done. Brava, team! I’m getting the feeling that moving in with stuff that doesn’t work for your smaller space is just as awkward as moving in with no stuff at all.
You have that unique design ability to know what can work, which is where so many of us get stuck. .
I didn't think it was going to work because it was too masculine but no, it's beautiful! You know what you're doing - I've started watching more of your vids - I'm moving into a studio and need ideas! This one is beautiful.
Loved this makeover! ❤️❤️❤️ I’m dealing with renter beige right now and just got a warm rust couch-what a game changer. Starting to realize paired with the right colors it can feel so cozy. Thanks for the inspo!
I love this!!
this is unREAL!!! I can't believe that you made renter beige look amazing??? nice!!
The color palette and all of the rattans are stunning. Such a boho vide and makes me love the wall color so much!! Looks like you chose it for the design. Well done!
Covering up the floor was SUCH a good move. What a difference, wow!
Wow that was such a good transformation! I find often when you have constraints you push your creativity and get an even better result
Good job. Having limitations always make it hard but you knocked it out of the park. And how generous of you to gift her this!
Beautiful makeover. What I like too is that because you moved her desk to the opposite wall, She could use it for her eating space because her kitchen looked really tiny. Love the warm colors. You truly made a home for her. The room divider could be used across her kitchen door for when she goes to bed.
Finally found a person that has a sense if decor & realistic!
Hanging netting around the bed is nice, the netting can be hung to hang halfway down from the ceiling. We hung beads around my daughter's bed and I've seen a curtain that's on a track in the ceiling running the length of the bed that she could leave open or close.

STUNNING!!!!!!!!!! The space looked so large after the makeover! The headboard is like something out of Lord of the Rings and that couch looked so comfy
Was very skeptical throughout the process was expecting boring, but I am impressed looks minimalist, cozy, and classy. Great job!
Good job Alexandra! I don't understand how anyone could "dislike" this!
WOW!! It's a completely different apartment now. I'm speechless. Super cute, chic, and cozy! I think I had to go back like another 4 times to rewatch the reveal till the end of the video.
Wow, that large rug and fabulous couch, plus the headboard . . . soooo goood. Everything looks great. I am so glad you are doing small space make overs. Love these. They were a favorite thing of mine during the pandemic; I think you were doing more work spaces then, but I just love a good, made over space!
Brilliant!!! Maybe my favorite makeover ever!!! You took it from nothing, to EVERYTHING!!!!!
Wow ! It looks absolutely beautiful ! Loving the headboard & sofa !
Nailed it! Definitely getting a comment compliment. This is my favorite style with the rattan and blacks, neutrals, and textures. Very BOHO and I'm here for it.
One of my favorite makeovers you've done! I was really hoping you were going to pop a piece of light wood on top of the Ikea shoe cabinets to tie in with the rest of the wood accents and make it looks less Ikea, but still love it all!
Love iiiiiiit. I did not think I could love beige, but all that rattan and the picture frames and the black details really made it warm and cozy and lovely. AND THAT HEADBOARD!

I was having my doubts but then you showed the space at the end and I am in love. Now I kind of want my room like this. Is so cozy!!
I loved that you also brought in black and a darker brown to break up the different beiges and light browns!
Also, the round cushion on the bed??? So cute!
Lovely! Such a good job working with the constraints of the space - you turned it from empty and a bit sad to warm, welcoming, textural and full of comfort... and super attractive, too.
I can NOT believe what you did with that little room. It's amazing!
I love the apartment makeovers.
Would like to see how you finish off the kitchen & bathroom too.
I catch myself singing “ You can see my light” during the day. I love your videos.
Wow! You hit it out of the ball park on this one! Loved it!
It looks so intentional. Like you chose this paint color rather than having no choice but to work with it. Great job
Those doors to the left of the front door would be a great place for Wayfair's new secret passage bookcases. They are doors that look like a bookcase. You could use those as a starting point and custom the rest of the wall so it looks like just a big wall of shelves. That would be awesome!
I knew she was going to pick that headboard. I love this makeover! Who wouldn't be pleased out of their gourd??
I'm awed! 😲😱 Stunning final result 😍 I love this series and had missed it a lot. It's so cool to see the magic changing people's lives. You're a miracle, team AG! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is so good, Alexandra! You really made the renter’s beige work and it looks like you picked the colour intentionally instead of being forced to design around it!
one of nicest makeovers on this channel I think, lovely space!
You hit this one out of the ballpark. I can't believe what that large rug did for the coziness. Great Job.
The suite feels absolutely beautiful - colors, furnishings, decor. I love it all.
I am someone who normally hates beige but I think Alexandra has really made it look both classy and comfy, peaceful and warm. To make it perfect I would add more plants.
Stunning before and after! ! love everything about this makeover (except the placement of the bed! Just for me, I don't want to wake up and see right into my Kitchen!) Net/tulle curtain (from IKEA) as a divider? I'm already looking up the headboard, linens and side table basket thing! Amazing transformation!
I understand what you mean, but if she had placed the bed anywhere else people would’ve probably complained that it’s too close to the door, that the bed is in the middle of the living space… I don’t think that there would’ve been a “perfect” placement for it in the studio
@@notjustirene4302 I would love it if gater and co would go through their floor plans decisions. I ways struggle with it and would love to know their procy!
I am the same. I have been in studio apartments for almost a decade and looking at a kitchen from bed is no bueno for me. However, I think blocking that doorway with a tension rod and a cute curtain would easily solve that problem if it bothers her.
Your designs have really grown up over the years. Thank you for finally making renter beige look delicious by pairing it with sexy blacks and trendy wood tones.
Would love to see how you style carpeted floors. I live in a rental with beige carpet and it’s been challenging to select the right rug for it… Also, would love to see families being featured in this series! My husband and I are expecting next month and living in a one bedroom (less than 500 sq ft)
The beige walls look so much more attractive now! So warm.
In Germany we literally have a word for the buttery softness: Butterweich. 🙂
Nailed it as usual Alexandra. Gorgeous transformation. Can we just talk about how fabulous Carla is? Her personality is a lovely addition to TAG, and she never fails to crack me up. 🦹🏻♀️
I don't mind renters beige; it's a warm neutral! This was a beautiful transformation.
I agree with you! Not that I'm old lol (33 yrs) but back when I was growing up I remember it being the opposite - stark white in every rental and the walls could get dirty easily and just weren't easy on the eyes or at least that's how I felt at the time. I was actually excited when more places started making something in the beige color range more standard.
It looks really pretty, although I would have preferred the couch to be a burnt orange colour. That headboard is just amazing!
woooow amazing job!!!! You made that wall colour look soo trendy and meld with all the decor. It looks SOO GOOD.
I think this is your best redo yet! Especially for renters who can make much of a change
Loved the design. Especially the headboard the wall art. Good job
This turned out so beautiful! I feel like paint can really impact a space so it was so nice to see this for people who are not able to paint their walls,especially renter’s beige!
This was a great makeover, love the gallery wall and headboard!❤❤
Also, she’s stunning. I hope she’s loving her home.
love how warm the beige walls make the room feel while the styling really makes it feels fresh and modern. i've been getting tired of only seeing white walls only being used when there's so many other great paint choices . great job team AG!
Yes~~~not that I'm a huge fan of beige either, but I like it better than white, tbh.
