My favorite statement, "taking ownership of where you live, even if you are renting."
Tonya Renee mine too It’s a pet peeve when people say “ I’m not decorating it’s not my house” like omg yes it is lol !!
@@TANAE totally agree. I can not understand people not doing the painting even if they stay 10 years or more....
Your hack for installing the pull-out trash without having to screw into the cabinets is genius!
You have inspired me to engineer my rented apartment with all sorts of hacks. Under and over cabinet lighting pluged into a wireless foax wall switch, foax wall coverings to hide yucky tile, foax fireplace with built in look shelves, expanded window sills (plywood attached with velcro command strips), lots of temp wallpaper, diy wall sconce with upcycled construction lights, inexpensive drum lampshades and yes the pie plate threading trick!, ikea hacked privacy 'glass' for my balcony and just this last weekend, a 100% non-attached pull down screen and 'hanging' projector system. You've inspired me to saw, hammer and life hack my appartment to make it mine. I hope you continue to inspire others!
The tension rod idea is brilliant!!! Looking forward to your next video.
Oh, I am so glad to see the pull out drawers. I not only plan to do them in my kitchen, I plan to use them in my motorhome. I have a very narrow closet, I want it to be a pantry. Now, watching you, I know how to do it. I already purchased the drawer glides, I am ready! Thank you and blessings!
Isabelle, what a smart way to combine sponsorship into your video! This might be the most elegant and comprehensive collaboration I've seen.
HelloFresh, I hope you've given her at least a year's supply!!! Worth it. Nicely done! :-)) I can't pick a favourite either!
Getting a new kitchen faucet would jazz up my kitchen.
I look at and treat my apartment much the same and I am a black woman who’s lived here for almost 30 years, understanding that whomever they hired to build the place - was likely the lowest bidder.😆
Work that I’ve done here over the course of time, knowing I’ll not likely get my security deposit back anyway:
Hung many shelves and ledges.
Painted
Unclogged the tub myself
Replaced the stem for cold water on the bathroom faucet
Replaced the wood beam support and bracket under my main kitchen drawer so it no longer leans and falls out
Replaced the singular handle on the kitchen sink
Replaced the Masonite in the lower kitchen cabinets after a pipe fail as the superintendent didn’t seem interested
Retiled, caulked, insulated, sealed, and painted my pantry
Replaced the defrost timer and thermostat in my refrigerator.
Retiled the kitchen floor
Repaired loose tiles in the bathroom as, I don’t think they used cement board to support it
Installed a cabinet from Target under the sink in my bathroom, cutting out the pipe hole myself, installing semi-opaque decorative film in the glass door and replacing the knob with a frosted glass pink knob to match other bathroom accessories
Repaired openings in drywall joints
And, yes, most people would ask why. I do so because I don’t like management here and I know they don’t care about doing a decent job - that I would be stuck living with.
I've also lived in the same place for a long time and I think we SHOULD get our deposit back no matter what we did because they would have to do that work anyway. For example, I paint my walls whatever color I want. I've been here over 10 years, so they would have to put a fresh coat on when I move out, even if I kept it boring. :)
As a landlord, you would be my dream tenant!
M K I agree but, it’s a game. If/when I move out, unless I make it look as if I never lived here, they’re going to tell me that I’ve forfeited my security deposit.
Then, they’re going to do like they did to the apartment downstairs a few years ago. The guy that lived there left the place looking like a crime scene, it was so filthy. He probably didn’t care about getting his security deposit back, because his ex-wife bought another house and give him their old one back. But, the landlord updated the apartment. Brand new appliances, fixtures, cabinets, paint, carpeting. I know because I snuck down there to see the the progress and updates, before the new tenant moved in. I think she pays about $200 more than I do for lesser space as, my front and back staircases impinge upon her closet and pantry space. Originally, I believe 1st floor apartments here cost less, but someone has to pay for all of that new stuff and the modernization of everything. So, the landlord likely kept the old tenant’s security deposit, and is making extra on the new tenant, although they may have paid next to nothing for the contracted work.
I’m not completely knocking it. I’m just saying that, to the tenant, it is often considered their home. To the landlord, it is simply an occupied unit.
I also understand this because I’ve realized that, while the smoke detectors are hardwired and connected every few apartments, the carbon monoxide detectors are not. Why? Because the life of a tenant is nothing in comparison to the cost of the apartment. Fire can take out an apartment. Carbon monoxide only leaves your red, bloated body.
In addition to that, we have Pacific circuit breaker boxes. That there is a fire hazard and a no no. But, they’re probably just hoping for the best, than concern themselves with the cost of replacing all of them in this complex.
Positive Energy I dunno. I have hung a lot of shelves here. Probably 30-50. If I removed them, it would look like there’d been a shootout in here.
Just discovered your videos today. And I've been bingewatching them for a couple of hours now. I have the exact philosophy of life where I find the biggest join creating or fixing" things in my household to even just make things slightly more convenient regardless where i live and what type of property i live in. Can't wait to finish watching all of your videos!!!!
Now to answer your question, I'm most intrigued by the trash can slider (which is something I've wanted in my home for years), except with one twist - (say if i had a kitchen just like yours) i'd take down the cabinet door first and somehow hook it onto the slider system. That way, I can easily access the trash can even if I'm standing right next to the fridge instead of walking 2 extra steps and opening cabinet door first.
Again, love love your videos!! I've learned some much already!
I’m at work and leaped for joy when this new upload came in! Thanks so much. Please never stop inspiring us.
Wow
More people need to know about your channel. I am a home owner. I love your work.
Love the lights. But the drawer system and the tension rod? GENIUS! Thank you for sharing and keep the new ones coming!
The tension rod trick is genius!
My favorite is "each and very detail and effort you've put and are very creative" 🔥❤️
Yes isabell. I love you on RUclips. I always love your inventions. You are a very elegant carpentress
Such easy and convenient upgrades. MY favorite is the trash bind. Hello fresh collaboration was nice to see which included the recipes.
Thank you for not allowing the "sponsorship" to get in the way of the creativity! I own my home, and I love not committing to drilling holes! Great ideas ❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I would do the pullout trash can and the led lights
I really feel like it adds character to your space
Mon préféré? Le tiroir, définitivement! Merci pour le "hack" de la barre de tension :-D
This was the best video I've seen for rentals yet! It was actually realistic and utilitarian. Thanks!
I loved both the slide out bin and the motion sensor light ideas. thank you so much.
Pull out draw is a definite fav
The under counter lights are my favorite. I added them to my Amazon Wish List. I definitely plan to do this.
You'll love it! It's the first thing I did in my windowless kitchen and it makes 100% difference. I added a $5 wireless light switch (from amazon), to turn them on/off.
@@Its_like_the_T-Rex is it the kind with about six wires hanging from it? If not too much trouble could you send me the link,to the remote? I would really apprciate it. Thank you.
@@RealinNYC I think this is similar to the wireless switch I bought: www.amazon.com/GE-Wireless-Grounded-Appliances-18279/dp/B00R7Q7PT4/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=wireless+wall+switch&qid=1571967592&sprefix=wireless+wall&sr=8-4
The light kit I got from Ikea and I used velcro command strips to attach the flat lights/wires.
The tension rod is ingenious!
You are a power woman!
Pull out trash, definitely! I have one. So much nicer than garbage can sitting out. I replaced my faucet and kept the old one to reinstall when I move. I am now evaluating under cabinet lights....
Thank you. NYC renter, public housing resident, great space older set up but great space.
The stove wall treatment, knife rack and ooh, the sink hardware replacement. Under cabinet light install.
I'd actually like to get installed your deep sink and counter in my apartment ( totally permissible).
You have the most innovative channel anywhere. Loved all 3 projects, thanks for sharing.
I like the sliding tray very much, have already shared the video to my husband, so he can do it for our kitchen... or even for our bathrooms' sink 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
i love the pull out drawer under the sink
That slide out drawer is brilliant. I am so excited to try this
Thank you so much
Sliding draws incredible
I was surprised that there were only three projects in this video. I love that stove backsplash. I am inspired by that little white box. The tension pole idea can be used in closets for baskets. Im just exited for my trailer's renovation. You're projects are clever!
I remember when you re-designed your kitchen with blue accents! Loved it.
i like the pantry between the fridge
Goodness, this women never stops impressing me with new innovations to freshen up a space (at a manageable cost/effort).
All 3 are my favorites too.....such simple brainy ideas..
My favorite is the slide out. I live in rental housing and, due to a medical condition, this would make life so much better for me. Then I like the new faucet because, as you stated, most rental don't have the convenience of a high arched style nor the sprayer. Thanks for the video, I really like your style!
I’m only 1:33 into this video. And I’m already liking the editing and design of this video. Great job with the remodel. 💎💎💎
You’re a genius. Thank you.
The tension rod idea is BRILLIANT!!!
all of your projects are my favorite one.
As a renter I look forward to your uploads so much!
They tend to be a lot more practical than some rental decor ideas I've seen 😅
The tap is the best.
I like the lights
I have watched your kitchen video like 10 times. Still love the blue on the wall.
Wow fantastic trash can DYI
❤️ the garbage bin slider and the LED motion sensor. One does not have to look for the switch!
More videos please !!! 👩🔧🙋♀️👍
I just saw you for the first time and am A NEW SUBIE. I have a water faucet Ive been waiting for my landlord to replace. I need it now really. So ill head to home depot in the new week or two and get that red handy tool. New and proper caulking also. Ive put xmas lights under our cabinets. lol. The guy roommates like it.
All three updates are great!
you makes thing look so easy, thank you, I find it intimidating for the sink and faucet !
You saved me!!!! I'm getting my first apartment soon and its a dump but in my place range. Definitely gonna do these!!!
Love the drawer idea
The LED lights seem the quickest, easiest improvement, and one I will be thinking about when I move soon. But I really like the faucet improvement! I see that as an excellent way to improve the sink area look. The tension rod idea was just brilliant! 👍
Wow! Nice! Like light best! 🏡💄☕🎯
I discovered those drawer slide outs a few years ago, and gradually installed them in my kitchen. They are one of my favorite things. But I might try to do your tension rod version for my mother's apartment kitchen 🤔. Also that under cabinet lighting is going to be next on my list! Thanks for sharing!
isabelle, seriously you're a legend
You're a Helluva problem solver!
My favorite project is the under the counter sliding drawer. It's perfect for the kitchen but it would work in the bathroom as well!
The favorite for me are the slide outs under the cabinets. Great video.
Isabelle your videos are amazing we will definitely try your ideas in our home.
The pull out slides! Freakin Brilliant! Thanks!
All of them! Thanks for sharing.
I love all your ideas to kitchen. It made my day. Greeting from Indonesia ❤
I am waiting for my kitchen to be installed in my new apartment. For sure I will install those led lights and that trash trick since I do not like to drill holes even it is my apartment and kitchen.
I love the lights which most of the times old kitchens dont have and of cource the drawer without needing to make holes . Cool projects !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thought I was an adult. But modding your rental apartment is a whole new level of tasking. Until now, I’ve only used solutions that don’t involve drilling into walls and replacing appliances. Especially if the landlord requires them to be removed upon move-out.
This video was very well planned out and refreshing. I love the way you engineer your place. You should collab with your audience and other RUclipsrs who have engineered their spaces to give more variety and ideas too.
Loved the under cabinet lights and the pull out drawer.
The faucet, for sure. The one in my rental drips all the time and drives me nuts!
Great video your kitchen is lovely!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos!!! Great ideas, and thanks for sharing!!
I would do all of these projects ☺️
I used to rent and move every couple years. Did upgrades in every place. Like you, plumbing, shelving, closets especially. Not one landlord ever complained. I left what I did too, and I suspect they either didn't even realize there were small but nicer updates, or they knew it was an upgrade and made their place more likely to rent, next time around. Bold blue paint was not something I ever tried, LoL! Looks great in your kitchen tho!
I love your channel and your ideas! Put out more videos! 😀
U are such a clever lady...& so motorvited too! U'r lovely cosy kitchen has motervited me into doing something more with mine (which is about the same size) The delivery of all the ingredients for a fancy meal is a REALLY good idea!!! (All that was missing was a bottle of the red stuff!) Love from Malta 😎
Second like, first comment!! 🤗🤗 Thanks so much for year of inspiration. I’ve been following you for years and excited for every upload. Thanks lady !!
I want to do all three!
My favorite idea was the under the Sink pull out shelf I've been wanting to do this for quite a while now. and this shows me the solution of how to do it. Mine will probably turn out somewhat different, but you helped so much to do what I want to do easier. Thank you . All of your ideas are great. I will probably use some of the other ideas too.
the lights are cool
Seems like a hello fresh commercial. Some nice ideas.
thank you for sharing. i need to show my husband this video
I liked the light and the drawer for the dustbin
I love them all
OMG...why are you just so perfect!!! Luv you🥰
I’m a new subscriber. Thrilled to come across such a well produced video full of great ideas! The lights are on my list but I see other bits and pieces not even mentioned in this one that I can incorporate very easily. Looking forward to the next installment! PS. Your landlord is damn lucky to have you!
I love your videos and all your creative ideas - they are very inspiring 😀
Keep up the great work!
Another great video!
Yay!!!! I love your videos!!!! Thank you!!! ❤❤
My favorite is the sliding trash bin. Brilliant solution! Tfs
Love your channel. The lights and your garbage can pullout are my favourites that I plan to do very soon. Thanks for sharing : )
I love the under sink trash pull outs, as well as the under cabinet lights. Both are great ideas and ones that I will definitely use. Thanks Isobel!
Definitely the pull out bin caddy! Well thought out using a tension rod.
I love them all! You always do such a great job. My two faves are the slide trash and the under lights. I love the color choices too.
My favorite of the three is the cabinet drawer although all were great ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Love this video--especially the drawer pull out rack hack! I need that immediately!!!
So many great ideas, and solutions. Thanks for the inspiration.
Love the under cabinet LED lights!! Tks for sharing.
