Hey guys! I'm Alexandra Gater and I show you how to do rental-friendly upgrades and DIY projects on a budget. New videos every Saturday and vlogs on Wednesdays! Today I'm making over a viewer's rental kitchen and transforming it on a budget! I love how this small, bland rental kitchen turned into a modern farmhouse dream!

I think this might be one of my favorite makeovers you’ve ever done, and I might just copy 90% of it 😂
Juliet Laney honestly, I wish I could do this in my rental...I’m literally going to do my daughter’s play kitchen area exactly like this! 🤣
What’s the 10% you’re not going to do? Or didn’t do
The combo of pastel colors is giving me a true, vintage, 1950s vibe 😍
I was thinking the same thing!
I was thinking something similar, it comes off as late 60s, very art deco to me.
Every time I hear, “You definitely need two people,” I think, “CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.” 🤣
PS that dishwasher hack is really clever!
maroxa101 Yep, I live alone and am usually too impatient to wait for help!
So last weekend I put up a “simple” peel and stick tile behind my stove. No problem I thought. It’s only two panels, I’m a rockstar, who needs two people? Not me! Ya well, cut to an hour and a half later, there’s wasted peel and stick wall paper everywhere-tossed aside in frustration because it kept sticking to itself and shifting as I tried to put it up alone-and I’m trying to ignore the creases and bubbles I just can’t get out.
The reveal REALLY showed the impact the paint and backslash made. Amazing!
Where can I get the dish mat?
Loved her reaction, she physically had to back up 🤣 also love how you mix patterns and styles. Somehow it always works 🤷🏽♀️
Her reaction is everything
The Dish Rack is freaking awesome! I’ve never seen a slinky-styled dish rack. Very cool.
The half circle drawer fixtures were perfect.
The rugs was lovely.
I feel like with the new cabinet colours and the back splash, the counter tops themselves went from bläh to really beautiful because suddenly the dark contrast fit really well and wasn't too stark anymore. The space is so much warmer and immediately looks more homey! I really love what you did here!!
Don't get me wrong, the kitchen is absolutely gorgeous, but her reaction is the best part for me 🥰
Her reaction made me smile from ear to ear! Literally looks like a Pinterest inspo kitchen. Alexandra, you nailed it like always! ♥️
Her reaction was THE BEST! ☺️🥰
You outdid yourself with this one Alexandra. Loooove this transformation!!!!
I've been binge-watching these videos and this is absolutely my favorite.
Love that 50's vibe!!
I'm 70 years old and I love your videos. I will continue to watch you. So many great ideas.
Like she said this is the best one I have seen yet.
i don't think i have ever seen a more calming kitchen before? this rocks, love it, all the amazing patterns just work well together. so awesome! ( ;
I love everything you do!
I am very much trying to be a minimalist. My daughter taught me a trick. She found a cake pan where the base was similar size as my toaster. A toaster you really only use it maybe 10 minutes a day. If you use it every day. So when I’m not using it it’s slips in underneath in a cabinet. Real estate on the countertop has been rescued. Please stay safe everyone and God bless you and yours.🌹♥️🇺🇸
This is truly awesome - transformed into a cozy, warm, yet very stylish room. The renter's reaction is great!
I gotta admit that when Alex said, "...it's gonna tie this whole room together..." I was totally expecting her to say, say it with me everybody, "a beautiful light fixture." Am I right??? Also, those Quadrostyle stickers are total , gorgeous, game changers!!!
Yeah I expected the IKEA light. 😆
I knew it's a rug😂
Yep, the rattan ikea light ... and then if you said anything negative about it, you would have been vilified- ha. The rug is great.
No, I was getting strong Big Lebowski vibes! 🤣
I was a little nervous when I saw that sort of pink colored Art Deco-ish backsplash with the green cabinets, but it worked.
Another fabulous makeover. You are such a natural. The backsplash is an unexpected element that makes this makeover stand out above the cookie cutter kitchens I see online.
I am SURE the landlord would love it and cover costs!!!!
I think the landlord will be happy, too 😎🥰👍🏻
One of my fave makeover. Vintage but modern, warm, fancy. Absolute fan of the combo pink+green
I just signed my first ever rental contract, it's a small farm. Let me tell you i'm about to binge watch this channel.
“Arizona desserty vibe” is a thing. I love that you said that.😂😂😂
What a transformation! I love everything from all the clever hacks down to the color scheme! Great job once again Alexandra!
Take a shot every time she says "team A.G." 🥂😂
Loved how it turned out! 🌺
Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed how hard she was plugging "Team A G".... Came off a little unnatural.
Arizonaian here! I can confirm that backsplash is our vibe 😂
I don’t fix them my unsightly appliances. I just love with it 😂
Would love a video on touching up/painting them
Excellent work, Alexandra-and the AG Team. I did cry, your make-over transformations can have such an emotional effect. They make you realise that it's not just about a lick of paint. Well done, girly. 🤗🤗🤗
I love kitchen makeovers they're my favorite!!!!!
Mine too!
for when I had my unsightly rental appliances (I own now), I would put a contact paper type skin over it and paint it... that way I could just pull it off when I moved, no muss no fuss while allowing me to make it the perfect color I wanted. if the water control panel was black, I would go with darker colors and if it was white, then something more pastel or neutral
It looks older than before, very retro, I like the before and gives very good start for something modern ..but most important that you both re happy with
It's an Alexandria Gater kitchen!!!! love !
Liked this kitchen makeover as well. Highlights IMO: Cutting Board, Paper Towel Holder,
Drawer Pulls, Dish Scrubber, Utensils, Orange Bowls, Pink Bowls, Pitcher/Utensil Holder, Jars, Toaster, Dish Drainer, Dish Tray, Amber Bottle, Towel Bar.
That door in the top left corner that was "wonkey" it made me so happy seeing it fixed and straight. Then that gorgeous sage green.
#IKEA work with her again!!!
Total agree with u 🤩
Yes please to the appliance paint video!😊Beautiful makeover!
This is super cute. Super duper cute!
Gorgeous! The only things I’d do if it were mine would be to change out the tap on the sink and add in LED light strip under the upper cabinets but otherwise this is perfect! Great job!
Another rental friendly kitchen hack that I have done is to find cabinet handles that have a bit of width to them, and then to use a Command strip that are made for hanging posters to adhere them to the cabinet. It makes SUCH a difference and is completely removable!
Stunning, Gater. This is one of your best ever. And yes, I’d like to see an appliance paint segment. I plan to replace my fridge at some point next year, but in the meantime she just needs a little cosmetic love.
Awesome makeover. Team AG is killin' it!
Team AG? Whoo!!😂😂😂😍😍🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘
This one and the "Patty Smith" studio are my favourite so far, really great job!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The paint color on the cabinets was my favorite. Great Job Alexandra!
Deserty Arizona Vibe is a thing! I live in the desert part time and I def used some of your design inspiration and the desert vibes to decorate!
Very vintage Arizona vibe colors!!! I love this!!
I love the dishwasher coverup. That is really clever!
Your channel continues to be my favorite channel, ever!!! We renters need you.
Love the reno. Such a huge change for a small cost. I think the owner now needs to patch and paint the wooden wall boarding just to finish it off. Good job Alexandra!
This is one of my favorite makeovers so far! I love those colors! Everything is too cute!
Alexandra, you are such a sweet breath of fresh air, and your designs are terrific! 😊
As an Arizonan, I love how much Canadians love Arizona.
Nice job! If you ever want to the the dishwasher hack in the future, please note that you can get flat, cuttable magnet sheets that are strong and wouldn't be seen under the towel bar.
What a great apartment! For a rental it has a nice kitchen. Very nice upgrade.
Quaint little dish drainer, nice. Take note if the new shelves are up too high. Individually the colors and items in the kitchen don't seem like much but all together, they rock!
This is beautiful Alexandra! So timely because I am in the middle of deciding what to do on my kitchen reno. My landlord is okay with us doing whatever but this vibes and color ... everything is exactlyyyy what I want our kitchen to look like. Thank you!!!!! Good job
I loved the splashback even tho I first thought it would clash with the sage cupboards. I'd add a small table n chairs / stools on right b/n window and door so I could spend more time in there. I cover my fridge with photos n trashy holiiday magnets ☺ Stay safe and best wishes from Australia 🤗
So full of hope. Thank you. Great kitchen to be in
17/10 Im OBSESSED with this one!!!!
This is probably my favorite makeover as of late! Turned out so good! It was cold and bland but now it's so warm and cozy!
Wow. I think it's the best transformation that you ever made 😍😍😍
I love it just as much as the home owner lol! The color is amazing and it just looks so good. The knobs on the cabinets give it a high end touch. You did your thing 👏
Nice looking kitchen makeover. I would have liked to see the landlords reaction
Definitely do an appliance video. That would awwwwesome and I've been curious for months.
Yes! Appliance painting please!
You can get this roll of silver paper that makes your appliance look like stainless steel. You just stick it on and smooth it out like stick on wallpaper. Very easy!
Would never have thought of combining those two colours, yet they look great together.
Are used chalkboard paint for our laundry room fridge… Super easy and super fun
We also used it for a backsplash briefly in the kids playroom
Alexandra, this is my favourite kitchen !!! Geez wheez it's purdy !!! ♥️♥️♥️
You are genius! Love rental friendly and small spaces AND that you do so much on a budget AND DIY. I also really appreciate the great editing of your videos; no rambling but include fun behind the scenes.
Amazing... but kinda curious as no shots of fridge and just a glimpse of stove.
Wow, the RETOR VIBES of this are too much!!! Love love love it!!!
That looks like my mom’s kitchen in 1981! Same ‘tile’ & cabinet color ~ wow
So pretty. Very, very nice makeover. Keep seeing that hole in the wall though. Filling that is such an ez fix.
I do love this make over, it’s gorgeous! - I wish that the editing kept to real life color instead of adding that pink hue to it. Look at the white balance for the white kitchen that made it whiter, and then the red tone that make the new kitchen warmer.
I LOVE IT!!! The sage color and that rug! I was just imagining a large rug that would look like that one the other day! The color and pattern of the backsplash looks great with the green. I´ve gotta look into that paper since soon I will be taking off the simple tile edging I have in my kitchen. I always wanted to be an interior designer and since owning my home I´ve been a no-nail-nancy because I don´t want a bunch of holes in the drywall-Only one of 4 paint colors I´ve used I actually like and the idea of trying to paint again wears me out. A few years have gone by where I gave up on my house and now I´m reclaiming it-decluttering and making sure this year to go ALL out decorating for the holidays and since I worked on my jungle themed living room I feel major desire to put everything I have into getting this house on point. You inspire me so much and have shown me to calm down-the best stuff to patch holes, to paint and paint again, and that its ok and achievable. Looking forward to many more episodes. Oh! I want to admit-I bought one of those shapely baskets to put a plant in and I call it my Alexandra Gater basket because I don´t think I had seen one until your show. Much appreciation from Texas.
Best makeover yet
I love how you left in the shots of your helpers--great leaders give plentiful credit to those they lead! Lovely makeover too!
Hysterical..."I don't know if that's a thing. I just made it up." Nice makeover.
You can also use the backsplash on the metallic part of the dishwasher.
Love all of your videos!!!
Love love love this makeover!!
Loved you taking us with you to shop for paint color. Also really enjoyed the extra clips of you not in “camera mode”. Your personality was on display and so FUN! You are aborbs :-)
I had a black and white checked floor I I painted the walls pink and a little darker pink on the fridge. Totally made it look vintage 50’s. I’m planning on painting my other kitchen fridge gold dots with gold accents all around.
Wasn't sure if the paint and the back splash would work together, but it TOTALLY does! Good call to paint top and bottom that GORGEOUS green! Amazing makeover as always Alexandra!
I look forward to every episode. Very inspirational!
So well done! Love it!
My fav, Farmhouse!
This one is by far one of the best you have done. Fantastic!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVEEEEEEEEEEDD IIIIITTTTTTTTTTTT
Looks awesome so cozy
Turned out great!
Wow! Great job👏👏
Love the sage green cabinets, the backsplash, rug, shelves, everything! Amazing job! :)
Her reaction is everything. Such a wonderful transformation!
This is gorgeous!
The best thing I have seen from you to date! No pompoms and no wicker ikea pendant light.
Best makeover ever! Loved every bit of it ❤️
Loved this!!! 😍😍 It came out so good!!! 👍
