Hey guys! I'm Alexandra Gater and I show you how to do rental-friendly upgrades and DIY projects on a budget. Today I am making over my living room (again), hopefully for the last time! I finally figured out what to do with that blank tv wall (and the solution is renter-friendly!) and the space feels so much brighter!

Best comment on the video goes to you
It says in the description box “new videos every Saturday” but unfortunately it’s every other Saturday. Which bums me out because I love her videos!!!
😊 i would love to see diferent styles always the same..
@@AlexandraGater Hi, this made my life and your living room is phenomenal! Happy Saturday to us all!
Tell me about it!
Never let the bird light go. Wether it's currently stylish or not it's quirky and that's what makes a room feel special and lived in
Bird light is my favorite!💕🐦
I want a bird light!
Same…
Graham has the patience of a saint
He is worth his weight in gold. I would love to see him running a school for young apprentices.
In the future that is.
I love how Noah immediately knew why u would be feeling sad to let the pink sofa go. Shows hes really in tune with you and emotionally aware as a partner. Very sweet! X
That man loooooves her 🥰
I am loving how James’ personality is coming through this editing. Seriously funny 😅
It’s my fave too 💕
Yes! I love James!
Right?! Every time I see a superb edit, I'm like, "Gurl, God bless James!" Just like the struggle is real, the laughter that James gives me is real.
@@BeautifullyBookish95 Haha. Yes. He's the best. If I want to laugh really hard, I watch the makeovers Alexandra did on his space or the time they roasted her past makeovers
Love James 😂😎
Love that the cat tried out the sofa, the rug and the chair and didn't seem to know which one she liked best. And completely shunned her own bed! LOL!
Typical cat behavior! 😸
Just a lil tip... A designer is NEVER finished with their home! And, I'm very happy you kept that precious birdcage chandelier! It just says, welcome to Alexandras home ; ). It's like your lil signature piece, & I think you should always keep it.😊
PS - Your pink sofa... I just researched the Furniture Bank in Canada and am very impressed with this organization. Alexandra, you not only show us all how to decorate and solve spacial issues, but you share your resources like this one. It's heartfelt to know that your beloved pink sofa will live on in the care of someone who is in need.🌟 Bravo at setting a good example.🌟
My favorite part of this video was hearing the pink sofa would be going to a family in need. Well done, Alexandra. Please consider a rug pad under the pretty rug. If you leave as is, it is of course a tripping hazard, but coupled with the fabric of the couch, its just too much slouching. The smoothness of the rug with a pad, will elevate the sofa, regardless of the slouch. Curious, do your feet touch the floor when you sit back on the couch?
I wish someone would link Alexandra's clothes for each episode. Every one, I'm always like: omg, I need that jumpsuit or I need that sweater. SO CUTE EVERY TIME.
Awww thank you!! I will try to include links!
I also need that sweater
Yeah - I really love that bobbly green woolly ❤
The woven miles are great too!
Chicwish KNIT YOUR LOVE CARDIGAN IN ARMY GREEN $69
Graham is a gem!! He is so detailed & passionate about his work. A keeper!!
I love how graham always makes things work.. even after he said it’s not possible 😂 love it
I cannot believe how much the molding made a difference on that wall... it's incredible! And Lottie LOVES her new chair!
I love how much brighter and inviting the room is! Lottie sitting on the chair when she has her own fancy bed, such a classic cat move 😆
Though I’m sad to see the pink sofa go, I think this white sofa really helps to ground and brighten the space up in the best way. Love this makeover!
I believe that Lotty has already choose the new bed for her self 😻
She has been trying out all the new pieces. She seems to like them all🐱
Noahs little *"so good"* comment at the end was adorable 😅 We hear you say it all the time, so I love when couples pick up on eachothers cute quirks.
That looks so good! The symmetry of the cord covers, to me, mean they don't interfere with the look of the moulding at all - it all just looks deliberate and works really well.
The new stain on that bench is so nice-natural but not too yellow. And I love the new sofa!
Carla’s cat cam is on point! Love seeing Lottie between every shot ❤
Another great refresh/revision. For me, the placement of the L-shaped cord lends a funky, geometric aspect to the molding, which is more traditional. It works for me! Smart and creative, as always. BTW, Lottie is adorbs (and tolerant, lol).
Your living room is absolutely beautiful. I'm glad you still have the bird light. It is so cool.
I have got to say that your videos of you redecorating your own apartment are my favorites. I rewatch them all the time.
It’s okay if you make a decision you don’t like. Just make another decision! Your videos remind me of that and remind me to be patient with with myself and the process.
I’m excited for what you have coming next❤️🔥
💕💕💕💕
"it's okay if you make a decision you don't like. Just make another decision" is an amazing quote!!!
Hi Alexandra, when it comes to decor of your place, don't worry what people think. What's important is that you are happy with the outcome, feel comfortable and works for your lifestyle. It looks as beautiful as everything you create. I love your style.
We love to see a space get re-imagined! ☺️🫶
My primary thought about this makeover - I’m stunned at just how chill Lottie is compared to my maniacs! I’ve got two Maine Coons who are just over a year old, and now I look at every decor decision with an eye to how my cats would react to it 😄 That string of hearts would be ON THE FLOOR in two seconds flat (which would be a tragedy), and I’m pretty sure the bird light would absolutely torment them as they plotted ways to reach it and hunt down those damn birdies 😹
My dining area is currently more of a junk zone, right next to the kitchen and where my new massively tall fridge-freezer lives… and the top of it doubles as a cat perch/bed (I had the perfect sized square cushion for it that I’ve had ever since before I went to uni 20 years ago, which is incredible/a sign of my true hoarder status 🙃) There’s a short little basic pendant light cord (with no shade) coming out of the ceiling, and it initially had a bulb in it… but my cats decided this whole thing was actually their punching bag now they can reach it from on top of the fridge 😹
Also - the bench stain colour is *perfect*! 😍
You and Dani make my Saturdays! Thank you!
haha...me too!
Polished, mature, classic yet fresh. Glad you are decorating your yourself. Stunning ❤
Love the molding , the light fixtures and the return of the bird light 😊 Lottie approves of all the seating choices 😂 Soft and pretty, just like her.
This is a great reminder that our homes are never "done." We create, update, and change as life goes on!
Agree😁
Genuinely love everything you do no matter the style, and also appreciate you being transparent about the process in your own space!
I love your whole team. Graham is super talented and so nice. Your living room looks amazing. Glad to see you so excited about your own space.
I’m so happy the bird lamp is back! The living room looks so much better, great rug to.
I hate it lol. love everything else tho
I loved your living room before, but now I LOVE it! It’s kind of a more adult design (complete compliment!). Lottie just looks so happy and relaxed 😻 She has definitely claimed the chair !
I love how your cat has claimed every spot in the room! Beautiful outcome and smart choices. Love it!
It's YOUR space. There will always be folks who don't share your aesthetic vision, thats ok. Its good to have different opinions in play, it helps us expand our vision. Your channel may be aimed at small space renters but the generally theconcepts work in any space. We lost our home to fire last year and are just at the place of unpacking the storage unit and deciding what stays and goes. The benefit is I can shop what I already own to start making our new small house our home. Thank you.
Loved this makeover of AG's livingroom; the new sofa, the refurbishing of the bench, and the chair with the rounded armrests in an apricot color scheme were the highlights of this vid.
This cannot be the last time. I love to see the evolution of a room through time especially the AG way.
Dear Alexandra, so happy to hear that you’re following your heart to make your home just the way you’ve imagined. Can I be cheeky and ask if you could do make over in Graham’s home?
Graham is an absolute dream! Not only is he incredibly skilled and talented, but he appears to be a genuinely nice and funny person. Have been watching your show almost from the start! I love your show!
The makeover looks AMAZING! Props to James for including that little clip of you and Lottie - it really made my day!!
Third time is definitely the charm in this case!! Fantastic!!!!
It kinda makes me sad that you felt you couldn’t make your living room your own because you’re too worried what the audience will think/say. It’s YOUR home! Do what you love and to hell with the rest!
I know everything she does looks great. It might not be my style on some videos but they still look good.
Alex, this is stunning! I'm crazy about that rug! The couch is so beautiful and the stain on the bench is perfection. Soooo glad you put the bird light up again, it is a treasure from that past, that had to be included. Enjoy!!! 💓
I haven’t stopped thinking about Furniture Bank since you shared this, Alexandra. I didn’t know furniture poverty was a thing - I should’ve realized. I have a couple of pieces to donate now. Thank you
The way Noah looks at you directly when he says , "Well done!" is EVERYTHING!!!!!!❤❤❤
When I was going through a really bad depression and mental health period , these videos saved me, they gave me something to look forward to . ❤
This makeover has to be one of my favourites, I went this makeover lol.
Please can we start having weekly videos / my Saturday mornings are sorted with AG team ❤🎉
Another great job guys
This comment means so much to me 💕
Personally, not nearly enough colour for me, but the important thing is that you love it! Love the natural wood and modifications to your TV bench.I am not a fan of the mouldings, only in that they collect dust. Used to live in a cool place with gorgeous period picture rails that I loved, but I was a slave to dusting them. My current place has very clean walls and so much less work to keep dust free. Love your videos and always enjoy seeing what's next!
I personally loved the bird light in the kitchen but I totally understand the practicality of a brighter kitchen
This space is so beautiful, inviting, sofisticated but still with a touch of your personality ❤ I love everything in it. I even think the cords go with the mounding because it's sort of geometric. However! I have to say my favorite thing is lottie claiming that beautiful armchair for herself 😅 she's adorable
“It’s that time of day…where they both sniff it.”
Guess we need a side series where Alexandra and Graham smell and describe different products.
I love this idea 💕
Me too! Would be another great livestream 🤣
Michael, I’m thinking Fear Factor competition style!
@@Handymangraham I was all for this idea, but then you added that edgy “Fear Factor” competition layer to it and now I’m even MORE excited about this prospect. I think you’re on to something here, Graham! 😎
@@AlexandraGater I love how funny your team members are.
couch + carpet + coffee tables are chef's kiss 💕
Lottie paw of approval is good enough for me 🐾😊 Such a beautiful makeover. I feel like everything in the space has it's moment and chance to breathe.
loooove the transformation and the stylistic versatility of all pieces!! such a great blend of neutrals, interesting shapes and pops of beloved colours. the more restricted colour palette also makes the stained glass so much more of a *moment*. love to see it 🐔
I totally love the bird light. I made one nearly ten years ago after I saw it on a UK site for £175. I’m glad your one is back where it belongs.
I love the fact that you teach us without witholding information and you encourage us that we can do it too. Love Rowena South Africa
THIS is the best refresh of this room!
It looks great. So much more cozy, which it was really missing. And not just a Treehouse recreation.
The molding completely changed the space- looks so good!
4:29 At this moment, I was like "roll the tapes, mama" and James delivered. it gave mother and i stan
Omg! Kitty matches the couch PERFECTLY!
We've missed you! Idk about this every 2 weeks post.
These makeovers got me through decorating my london flat!
Yay! So happy to hear that.
Same. I'm renting a loft room in London and man, it really gives you life to have a space feels like your own.
That string of hearts will be happier in its old spot, with more light ❤
Love the new living room! Also love how Noah said “so good”. Y’all are definitely made for each other.
For the last time? Really though? 😂
😂😂
Lol lol 😂
LOL 🤭that's exactly what I thought! ❤😂😅 Lottie trying every new spots is super adorable😘I loooove the transformation❤❤
That’s what I said!
😂😂😂
It’s not even fair that you are still so cute without makeup first thing in the morning.
Your living room looks amazing! Wonderful job as usual! I’m currently lounging in my home library inspired by the one you did with the boaxel shelves.
🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️
I've loved your videos for ever now! I was so happy to see the pink couch get donated to a worthy cause. I coupon for personal care items, and it all goes to our local women's shelter. It's a great feeling!
You have such a wonderful team. Graham always impresses me with his expertise and skill. Final living room looks great! Keep up the awesome work.
When can we retire the line art 😞 I would love to see more variety and intention with that art that’s displayed, elevating a variety of artists work.
I love that you are making this space over for what fits your style. You do so many things for people and you deserve to come home to a space that makes your heart happy. Turned out lovely!
That sofa looks like heaven!!!
I love your makeovers off your own space cuz you reuse things you already own and love and just find new ways to design around them, ie the bird light. I’ve gotten to a point in my life where even though I move apartments most of my furniture stayed the same cuz I’ve built it with things I love over time, I think that’s the true mark of finding your style
I was going to meditate today but instead I watched one of your video"s!!! Love the sofa and chair and new couch and the color of the table. Thanks for being here to calm me down.
I love the peel and stick moulding, but it’s quite expensive for me. A whole wall is gonna be $900 Australian dollars to do. Looks gorgeous though.
I love all the different ways your living room has been! My living room looks different every three months because I just see it as an ever-evolving creative space. Thanks for the inspiration, as always! (As a side note, I can't wait for your book to arrive at my door!)
Ahhh thank you!!! 💕💕💕💕
It looks lovely, inviting and comfortable. Just how a living room should be. It's perfect.
Your boho/post-modern style is not mine, but I am so glad that you finally are coming into your own style. Don't try and impress anyone on RUclips any more! Your living room is excellent! And awesome to see the bird pendent back!
I'm so happy the bird light stayed in the house. It's so pretty and iconic. Also, 10/10 here for the ending of you aggressively kissing your furbaby. I think every furmom can identify with that.
I have laugh at the idea of a 5 year old couch being soooo old. Confused that she didn't get white covers for it like how she covered it in different pink covers last time.
That is something, if someone do want share his own apartment makeover. It means you are brave and honest person. Thanks for sharing. Learning from your own experience is also very important. Thank you very much ❤
I love how this is an example of how a makeover doesn't have to be everything and the kitchen sink. A strategic refresh can be impactful - it feels like just turning the volume up.
If you are looking for public feedback... you can't see the photos way up top... white sofa is too much blank ...There is no WOW spot... looking forward to makeover #4
i really wish that there was more of a focus on sustainable decor in your videos rather than ordering new things from companies with horrific human rights violations like h&m. Vintage items/thrifted items/pieces from places like facebook marketplace can be found that will fit any style and don't contribute to overconsumption and waste.
"The last time". Yeah, right. Let's revisit that statement in a year or two. Great job by the way, it looks good. I love the moulding.
To solve the renter friendly electric cord hiding and still have your molding. Either a wall build out or maybe the molding panels with the cords behind a build out at the panels to hide the cord straight down to electrical outlet .
“Design your space “ has some renter friendly hacks using lightweight materials to build out a shallow wall.
I’m surprised you don’t thrift more, save the planet.
Too much stuff delete a few items and a pillow.
Alexandra I am so glad you decorated your space for you , I think you should always remember that . When it comes to your own home it should represent WHAT YOU LOVE NOT WHAT THE VIEWERS SAY OR THINK ,,you have to live there 😊..like my mother always said WHEN YOU COME YOUR PLACE IT SHOULD FEEL LIKE YOU AND NOT ANYONE ELSE ..GREAT JOB
Nailed it! Love new bench color. It's such a well put together room that looks effortless. 😊❤
The pink sofa was pretty, the new one is plain and ugly no matter how you style it, it will have no character, and it looks like an ill fitted bed with cushions that are way too big. Take it back.
.
Love it! Much more sophisticated. I didn't say it last time but for me, that huge window with the red arch above is still begging to be a focal point. I'm picturing some beautiful fabric curtains to frame the window and some bench seating with books below that will make this a cozy place to read.
I love the bird light in the living room. It really makes the space complete especially with the natural light. Amazing job on the bench color graham! This is a whole airy mood and im here for it! Lol.
I own my home but these videos are for everyone's home! My home is 1025 Sq. Ft so it's "small" and this designer is teaching me how to decorate and style my Casita.
That bench is gorgeous , it all looks lovely and bright , nice to live in
I absolutely ADORE this
third -cycle design. That wall design is on point and the texture and depth is sleek. I think the cords blend right into the design.
Great job sweetheart! Jojo, Wireback Candle Co.
Graham is so Talented !
Such a gorgeous makeover! I think the cord covers make the stick on moulding look unique. I love that Lottie was feeling cozy on the new couch and chair, does she really sleep on her kitty cushion :) Noah's reaction was so sweet, most men only care about comfort. I love your enthusiasm when doing a makeover, and your joy when its done, you truly care about others. I believe you'd do these makeovers for others even if you didn't film them for your channel because you truly care. Cheers young lady, keep up the great work!
I love how the cat has gone around snd owned her new space by marking her scent on all the new items. Lol. But again well done. It was super cute before but more like a woman’s space. Glad you put up what you wanted and didn’t feel you had to listen to anyone but Noah’s input. Good job
Truly LIVING for the sofa, chair, and bench
I am in LOVE with the bird light. ❤❤❤ Beautiful room!
We have a similar beige couch to this new white one, and after a big wine spill we dyed the main bottom cushion cover an earthly red and it looks like it was meant to be! Just some inspiration if you ever feel like changing it up again…
It looks very sophisticated minus the bird light; look for a sophisticated light!! Love the one you hung in the kitchen!!
