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! Today I’m turning the tiniest studio apartment I've ever made over into a dark & moody industrial style space with tons of personality. Austen has lived in this apartment for five years but it hasn't ever felt like home - until today! I add in a custom DIY air conditioner unit cover and a 3-leaf Murphy table to give him lots of space to work, craft and dine.

The dark wall and long table actually make the space look so much bigger. Just amazing transformation.
Dark colours will do that. Think about looking into space--a dark night sky. It expands when the usual advice is to go white.
@@lynda.grace.14It’s so cool also that a dark wall can add brightness!
@@beeARTcanada Plus it's soothing and womb-like. He's going to be so happy in that amazing home. I only wish they'd used black hinges on the AC cover. Alas. I notice those things.
@@lynda.grace.14 Well that could be easily corrected with black paint or black nail polish by the one living Their... But I would've painted that heater unit on the floor or at least let the apt building owner see the transformation TRuELy He would' ve given his permission as now it's an Executive Designers Apt ... And truly it's value now has skyrocketed... 🤣😂🤣🎨😍💋 Chef's Kisses 😘🥰
@@sandieedward8214 As someone who has painted ugly radiators like that in homes that I have owned, I agree that it should be painted out. However, the next tenant may hate dark colours and then what. When renting, those drastic moves usually aren't an option. Fortunately the bed covers most of it.
I've been with you forever!!! I was a Decorator & Designer for about 20 yrs and this is one of "THE BEST" overall from the hall looking in space you & your adorable team has EVER DONE!!!! It looks like a chic hotel or high end Corp rental room!!! I'm not a dark moody space for me personally, but WOW I would stay here no problem!!! What a gift of a true "home" you've given this young man!! Be proud all of you!!!!! W/love always!!!
💯% 🎯👑🎯💋😘🥰😱💥😍🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
i agree, one of my favorites too.
I totally agree with that!!!
Oh my goodness, I completely and totally agree with this statement.
Literally, it is miraculous.
The word "encapsulated" was perfectly used. You are amazing decorator. The space looks amazing!
Exactly. It was the perfect word for what she was saying.❤
The before and after are night and day. It's so wild to me how you've managed to make this apartment feel so much more spacious! This is probably the best tiny studio makeover thus far.
Beautiful transformation! Love the AC cover/nightstand. Brilliant! Graham has been a game changer for your team. He’s so inventive and creative, and he has some skills! Well done everyone! 👏👏👏
Agree ❤❤❤❤
Why didn’t paint the cane?
@@madgevanness4011 it's a pretty accent the way it is...
I would have stained the cane the same birch color as the drop leaf table. The blonde cane just detracts from the over all look and vibe. Other than that detail - this is one EXCELLENT makeover!
@@patriciaharding7468 I still think that staining the cane with the English chestnut would have felt too matchy-matchy...
This is seriously one of the best studio fixes y’all have ever done. It’s amazing!!!
Agree!!
Agree!
I totally agree!
AGREED!
I totally agree! Was coming to comment just that! Congrats TeamAG!
Graham is the shy wizard of the group....understated....modest and talented. He is a keeper! Actually your entire team is very dedicated and insightful. Kudos to you all.
Agree... they are a 👌 match of talents so thoughtful and creative in taste and solutions😊😊😊❤🎉
Understated, and under-rated. I hope he is compensated well for his hard work and his amazing skill and talent.
I have literally been searching for YEARS for a good solution to cover the AC unit. The caning with a door is absolutely brilliant 🙌🏻
36" is standard counter height. So you had the right number in your head, it's just for a different application :) Also, encapsulate is definitely a word lol
💋💋💋💋💋🥰😘🎯
Not only is it a word, you used it and pronounced it correctly! Huzzah!
As a nail tech I immediately recognized the word lol ❤
This is the best makeover I've seen from y'all. Looks like a high end hotel room (in the best way). Very very impressive.
Yes, very high end!!
True!
👀
How are they going to change the filter on the AC though??
@@therawebster3285 I think the whole box comes right off. I don't think it's attached to anything. It just rests on top of the A/C unit.
Yes! I'm indeed taking a moment to freak out in the comment section over the rattan side table box over the AC unit!! It's BRILLIANT! I'm going to do that!!
I have to say this is the best makeover you've done so far. Clean, industrial, minimalist and great furnishings considering it is such a small space. I particularly love the fold out tables. The colors you've use in this makeover are fantastic. Great job to you and your team.
Encapsulates is a word. You had it right! This makeover is AMAZING! Can't believe the transformation!!
I concur, very good useage Alexandra!
Get the feeling Alexandra is a pretty big reader. I'm familiar with the word too, but it's not a word that's used often.
@@natatatt Same. I used the word "puritan" at my office the other day and several colleagues didn't seem to know what that meant. I'm concerned for future generation. 🤣
@@sileigh1 i had an argument about what the word "aloof" meant (my coworker thought it meant ditzy) and also someone told me "plethora" isn't a word. people ... don't know words. hahaha.
One of your best studio fix makeovers! Seriously impressive
Finally a studio makeover that isn't 'Instagram boho'! More like this please
Im bingeing your channel. Your makeovers are incredible. You give hope to people who have small spaces. That they have options especially with awkward fixtures and walls and lack of storage. Your solutions are brilliant, functional and the makeovers are beautiful. Kudos to you and your team. Graham is exceptional. Everyone needs a Graham. Love from Australia. xo
This makeover was insane! I can’t believe how functional and beautiful you made the space given it’s size. It looks amazing and I think this is definitely one of the top makeovers you’ve done. Amazing job!!

snowquen's is my idol.
Hes the person i aspire to be, hes my light of day.
I think this is my favourite makeover you’ve done. You really made such a tiny space look much bigger and the drop leaf table is so great because of him working from home and being a sewer. I know the intention is that each leaf is a zone but I just think it’s great that he can make the table longer as needed since for sewing that’ll be so useful! So happy he kept the chest, it’s beautiful on its own but also works perfectly in the space. The dark wall at the back actually makes the space look bigger I found because it made that wall look like it was further back that it is. Even if he had been a less minimalist person with more clothing I think the layout chosen was great - could have added shelving above the drop leaf table or something. Great job!
Like I said that shelving in white could have been applied to wall and it would've been another great storage for sewing 🪡🧵 & art 🎨 🪛✂️🔗📌✂️📍🖍️🖌️📏📐Needs: if shelf is still around could fix it similar to hallway shoe storage above on wall space as peg boards and all those things need storage... But the comments being made could always result in upgrades to one initial marvelous creative Space 🤔 It's a Fantastic Designers Choice💕🥰💯% 💥🎯
I agree. That dark end wall does make it look bigger somehow!
I'd have added shelved behind the folded tables ... they'd be hidden when the tables are down and serve as nice storage space which could be styled nicely too. Some shelves above also wouldn't hurt but that's just cause I'm personally definitely not a minimalist :D
One of my FAVORITES studio flips I've seen! Graham is an asset with his building skills. I love this. I'd be excited to see other flips will a different color pallet than normal as well. I can't get over that desk-dinning-sewing table!
I love all of your makeovers, Alexandra, but here you really outdid yourselves. It’s amazing 🤩 Unbelievable what you were able to do with such a small space. That three-in-one table solution is just genius.
Alexandra Gater: The hallway shoe cabinet DYI is stunning/mirror choice is impressive. You did a beautiful job to make this small apartment cozy/comfortable.
Yeah! It really makes you want to get into DYI doesn't it! 😉
This is one of the most inventive and functional spaces you’ve ever done!
I feel like this is the best makeover I have seen you do! And with such a SMALL space! It looks warm and rich and somehow spacious! Well done!
THE BEST!!! Graham is a miracle worker! So much better... Austin will be staying there forever. Everything he needs is right there against the wall!! Go Graham!!
The team did this small room so much justice! Absolutely love it! My fav transformation so far!! It looks gorgeous and very functional!! ❤️❤️
💯% 💋👍🥰🎯👑👍
When Alexandra says, "Thanks for coming to my TED talk," but she's _actually_ given a TEDx talk 🎉
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This is my FAVORITE makeover from you! Makes me want to trash all my crap and move into a tiny studio. lol So warm and serene. Great job!
I’ve watched this makeover a lot and think this is one of your best. The black wall, wall art and the large mirror just brings this studio fix over the top. The place looks twice as large as it did before and so so functional. Great job Team AG
I can’t believe how much bigger this space looks. Your custom pieces were genius!! Love love love this.

I think this is my favourite one of your makeovers so far!!
It really made me realize how much can be done even in small spaces. I recently moved to a my own (much smaller) place after a big breakup and wasn’t very confident of my new teeny tiny living room. I now have so much more confidence. Thank you!!!
I wish you all the best in your new life. Breakups are a nasty thing. But you will survive and thrive. Having a beautiful space to live in will help your self esteem and overall sense of wellness. All my love

I usually don't like Industrial style, but you knock this one out of the park! Fantastic Job. I love the Lamp DYI. I enjoy all your studio redo's. It seems to me the challenge is to have a bed in the space without it being the major piece. Great Job!
Encapsulates is a word and you used it perfectly! GREAT VIDEO!!!
I seem to always have some kind of gripe about the rooms you do, but this one is absolute perfection! It is mature, modern, creative and useful, and you really gave him what he wanted and needed. 👏 Great job team!!
Wow, you guys really outdid yourselves with this one!!! The table is just genius and so is the AC unit cover. The Ikea shoe cabinet looks so elevated with that little copper detail, it doesn't even look like the same piece of furniture. What an amazing transformation! Congrats to Alexandra and all the team.
WOW! This actually came out very good. I won't hide it, I initially thought this will be bad, but it turned out so well. Now just imagine the same style with a bigger room! WOW!!! Thanks, Team AG.
It s space, appears huge now, its moody, elegant, grown-up, chic, comfy....I am enthusiastic about it and happy for him! ❤
Love this! One warning though, I have the same bed in a small bedroom and I used to constantly hit my legs on the handles of its drawers. I eventually replaced them with leather pulls and that solved the problem beautifully. However the bed broke a week ago, so it lasted about 6 years. Just in case anyone else wants to buy this same bed. Also, it’s awful to put together on your own so get a trusted buddy to help 😛
I’m astounded, this makeover is absolutely gorgeous. The whole time I was doubting because it was so small, but you really made it functional and lux!
Luxe is A 🗝️ Key Word such an Executive Design 💋🎯🥰

The more renovations you guys do the more impressed i truly am. For some reason I love this one.
I can't believe I'm going to say this. But, this is one of the few makeovers I've ever seen that really impressed me. The colors matched and were not overwhelming. Makeovers are usually the opposite done by people that have no idea on how to do a proper makeover that end up looking too childish, too bland or too over the top. Alexandra, congrats on your very modern taste in this makeover. The only other person that has ever impressed me in makeovers is the Canadian Candice Olsen. That woman is a beast when it comes to an incredible eye and imagination in makeovers on her TV show. I'm definitely checking out your other videos. Keep it up Alexandra.
I think spaces look smaller when they're empty because furniture creates visual depth. They create a foreground and a background.
Oh this is one of my favorites. Graham takes such care to make sure every project is perfect and the design for the room is just spot on.
💥🎯🥰🥰🥰👑💯🎶🎶🎶
And he is so cute!!
This makeover is amazing! I love when y'all do something with a moodier vibe. The dark grey/bronze/white combo here is perfect, and it's cozy without feeling like a cave. I have a small apartment as well (not quite this small, but close), and while I can't drill a whole lot into my walls, this still gives me some ideas to maximize the space. Keep rocking it, Team AG!
Honestly my favorite makeover of the year, so much innovation, I love all the ideas, and the overall aesthetic really came through, really inspired me to see what I can do with what I have
Team A.G. -What a win! Everything is so well laid out and organized but with a total cozy feel. The A.C. cover and the 3 zone table/desk was genius. Wonderful job guys! Blessings - Judith 🎵🎭
💋💋💋🎯🥰😘🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
What a well thought out space. Your folding tables are genius. This makeover was a success in every way.
So difficult to use small spaces in such a beautifully decorated functional way. I enjoy your show all the time. I loved the flower lamp.
Graham is a gem!!
I love that transformation! For everyone who is thinking about Brimnes bed for a small 100sq feet bedroom - I’ve never used the handles because I knew my legs would be covered in bruises ;) Use some leather straps or a decorative string. You can also have nothing (but holes) - it’s easy to grab the drawer from the bottom.
Leather pulls!!! That's it! That's what we need! Thank you so much because I'm clumsy and those pulls are dangerous especially with a baby on the way now 😁
Omg!!! I can't believe you made such a small room look so put together and functional??? It's beautiful!!
How?!!! Do you continue to amaze me? I have watched you for so long. Your magic wand has just reached new levels. Beautiful as always. Killed it.
Das ist wohl die tollste Umwandlung von Euren bisherigen!!Was ihr aus dieser "Schuhschachtel" heraus geholt habt, ist überwältigend!!
Great makeover! So innovative and classy. Also Graham is a great addition to Team AG and is so talented and good looking!😊
I adore Graham as well 😁 Team AG is so well rounded and talented
he's so attractive haha...the skills would do it for me, but the eyes close the deal;)
I love how the white textured window curtains flow into the dark accent wall. Very clever!
This is easily one of my favourite makeovers you’ve done so far.
I was going to say... as a seamstress, clothes designer, crafter, painter and someone who loves to host, that this was definitely the most amazing use of space I've EVER seen... your solutions are things I wish I could have had back in my hayday ❤❤❤ Kudos... he's a lucky 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 🎉🎉😊
Absolutely love this makeover, especially how much storage and functionality Alexandra brought to it! And for the record - Encapsulates is, in fact, a real word, meaning " to show or express the most important facts about something", so that was a perfect use of it ;-)
I've been watching for a while and I think this has been my favorite room yet. So unique! Also, AG just keeps opening her mind to new styles and new techniques and that team is doing AMAZING at their support and creativeness. I support y'all, not because you're all "perfect" but because you keep pushing yourselves and are open minded to change.

snowquen's is my idol.
Hes the person i aspire to be, hes my light of day.
Fantastic. The 'before' looked like some tweens bedroom with the fairy lights. The 'after' space looks so grown up and mature.
Do you know what you just did? Magic! That's what you did! It looks so unbelievably good, especially compared to the before
your BEST makeover imo: dark dramatic colors / contrast, fewer but larger artworks etc. for proper scale/proportion, so sophisticated and *expensive* looking! Great art choices and fabulous wood tones w. copper…beautiful choices for entryway, and all f course the 3 drop leaf tables and AC cover /table are genius.
( scaled decor and contrast really make for a LUXE, upscale place…)
I think you outdid yourself this time Alexandra. You and your crew did an amazing job. Who knew such a small space could look so high-end! Congratulations on a job extremely well done.
Wanted to see the kitchen, the bathroom as we get a glimpse only of part of the kitchen bits. This is a miracle, Alexandra! I am so thankful you were able to switch and change as you went. Your team works so well together.
I agree with others who commented about this space being your best makeover. I eagerly watched to see your magic. You did not disappoint!!! The table was brilliant and nasty air conditioner to beautiful side table-genius! Definitely using that idea. I can’t get over how spacious and stylish it looks. Well done!!! What a team.
WOW!, That 800 square foot apartment IS. TERRIFIC! 🏆👏👏👏
Another great studio fix! Graham has some mad skills! The entire Team AG is so fun to watch.
This is in the top 5 transformations that you've done! I love everything, except the ties on the curtains, I think grommets would have been better. That thrifted lamp is gorgeous! Very well done.👏🏼

Literally, the BEST, out of the park in terms of design, style, problem-solving, mood, speciousness, multi-purpose. My only addition would have been a long hidden storage shelf under the fold down tables for supplies.
The ac cover is genius. You have have taken unique design to a whole new level.
Omg! You outdid yourself!!!! I’m in LOVE with it, the entryway rocks, the custom tables and ac cover/nightstand it’s all superb! The color choices--everything!
It's so warm and cozy looking, without feeling stuffy. All that natural light! The fold up crafting areas. The rug really pulls the room together. great job!
God so great ... Everything is 😍 BeauTiFuL 💥👑💯🎯
Sometimes when i watch your vids my niece is here and pays attention for a few minutes. In your intro you introduce yourself. She thought it was the
"Alex And Her Gater show." 😂💙
You two CLEVER!!!! It’s so BEAUTIFUL Transformation!!!! 🤩 You two POWER, LOL… Your very amazing in all your work. 👍🏻 The boy is sooo cute. Give to him BIG Hugs! Blessed your heart. I wish you and your family a happy and safe. Take Care ! 🤟🏻🌴❤
Love the Graham Cam!!! 🥰It really shows start to finish on the how of the constructed DIYs are done👏👍
Love this!! More like this please 🤎 Would LOVE to see you do a farmhouse style makeover!
I love this idea! But maybe an AG twist on farmhouse 😉
THIS MAKEOVER WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! By far my favorite. 100% my style! 😭🤎
@@AlexandraGater pink farmhouse :D
Been waiting for a studio fix with dark colours like this for ages! Absolutely loved this makeover sooo much! Best one yet!
I couldn’t tell if Graham was making a deliberate Step Brothers reference or not, and I’m always so amused when James catches those moments and throws in the references in the edit. James is a master at highlighting these small jokes.
Team AG, this might be one of your best projects ever! The air conditioner cover/side table and the leaf table were brilliant ideas! Way to go!!!
This is definitely one of the best makeovers you've ever done (studio or not)! Wow! Absolutely stunning!
Also... "encapsulate" is totally a real word! :D
I was going through the comments like, “nobody is going to tell her that encapsulates IS a word?” Lol
Pure genius! I’m so impressed. This has to be your best makeover yet. All the others are excellent, but given the size of the space with which you were working, that’s where your talents shine through. Bravo!
I created a cover for my wall air conditioner similar to the cover Graham made using shutters. I used what I had on hand.
This is an incredible makeover ! I think the only thing I would change would be to have the rug which is under the bed cover the space between where the current rug ends and end it at the wall rather than having the trunk half on half off. Otherwise - BRAVO ! Graham is a genius with his DIY inventions. I love the a/c cover.
These makeovers are not only for small spaces, they can be applied to larger spaces , and spaces that are 'tricky' to decorate with windows, doors,non- functional fireplaces, old french built in closets all over the the place :)
I get so many ideas from your channel. Keep it up !
Team AG! That was an amazing use of space, color, light and texture! I shouldn't be amazed how fantastic this space now is since it was Team AG making the changes, but I am. Stunning! And brava on that dupe lamp! Standing O!
Omg, I love you for washing the sheets before putting them on!!! 😂
This was so amazing to watch!!! What you did with that drop leaf table under the tv with all the wires set up like that was great! Inspired me to change up me and my husbands tiny room! I have no idea what we’ll do but you’ve showed me something can be done in small rooms!!!!
Studio Fix Series is my favorite!!!!!! So excited. And I love how much Alexandra has grown into her calling. She expands and grasps all genres of decor styles and tries to be conscientious of the clients likes and needs. I think her studio fix series displays this the most since she has to be very purposeful in what goes into a small space

Encapsulates was one she tripped on and it’s definitely a word and she was using it correctly.
Honestly, this room now blows me away. It's incredible
Alexandra I am blown away!! I love Every. Single. Thing. In this makeover!! My fav in like forever. You rock xo
Really amazing! The drop leaf table is gorgeous and so functional. Love that there's enough space to have a nice rolling office-y chair, too! The only thing I would change is the caning on the AC cover. I would have changed the color of it to copper or used a sheet of perforated radiator grating to really complete the industrial look.
I was going to recommend staining it to match the other wood - it would look less boho that way and stand out less.
@@wallywaffles1333 Yes, I agree, it just stands out as way too boho to me.
Thats a very creative solution. Thank you for suggesting it. I want to remodel a space and am looking for great ideas and this one is great
I kept going back to like button and then realising I already clicked it! This video deserves so many freaking likes! This was the perfect mash of function and beauty!
The dark wall at the back of the apartment gives the room depth. I like it.
You actually made the space look bigger, somehow. And I love the lamp dupe (I'm a big fan of secondhand shopping!).
Great job!
One of the best make overs - really inspirational with the moodiness and the table!!!
And yes - I would go for encapsulated any day. Exactly the right expression for the mirror 🪞
I’m a huge fan of day beds for small space. I love that they can be a sofa during the day and a bed at night.
This was hands down my favorite makeover you’ve done! Hope to see more of this style in the future for inspo
Love this one! Definitely my vibe and makes the whole "dark colours make it look smaller" less scary a thought. Also encapsulate is definitely a word Alexandra 🤣🤣
I'd love to see more videos showing the process of designing custom pieces like the drop-leaf table! I think AG and Graham make such a great team to make these cool things happen!
I absolutely, love LOVE this makeover!!! I'm about to move, & can't wait to incorporate some of this style into my new space!
You asked about air conditioner treatments. Years ago, I was in a small 1920s era unit that had two double-hung windows with an AC unit punched through the wall between the windows. I was already an avid salvaged (this was 1960s before salvage was cool) and I got three sets of movable-louvered window shutters and used them over the two windows and AC unit. I also built 12 inch deep shelves all the way across that wall at top-of-shutter height to the floor, creating four bays of bookshelves (two flanking the outsides of the windows, two filling the spaces between windows and AC) which felt like a single unified horizontal motif, all stained the same dark oak the shutters were. It all allowed airflow throughout but also blocked view of the garage I was next to, six feet away, with a passage sidewalk right next to those windows. A visual disaster converted to a privatized dominant theme that felt like a Victorian library.
This makeover is a classic . Everything was so beautiful and amazing, what a difference. Great job.
Wow! I am not really a fan of the industrial look but that makeover is gorgeous! Also love the table Graham made as well as the air conditioner cover. Also, encapsulate was an excellent word choice. Well done!
