    Now if only I could just steal this whole room and make it mine!

  2. evezford on April 30, 2022 at 7:48 pm

    Dear Alexandra,

    I need you desperately.

    Sincerely,
    My Apartment

  3. Amel Braiek on April 30, 2022 at 7:49 pm

    Really love the headboard <3. I would just add one thing, as a software engineer myself, the chair is super important and the one you picked is really pretty but not comfortable at all… I think it’s good to have design but also practicality in mind. Overall way really good job !

  4. Cecilia Tassara on April 30, 2022 at 7:50 pm

    Sorry but I think it needs a touch of solid blue or orange

  5. Windflower Rainstorm on April 30, 2022 at 7:51 pm

    please can yall add chapters and timestamps?????? easier to go back and show ideas to hubby 🙂

  6. Molls on April 30, 2022 at 7:52 pm

    Omg this is one of my favorites this is incredible beautiful amazing put it in a blender and just eat it up

  7. Noor Shammas on April 30, 2022 at 7:56 pm

    this is beautiful! could you incorporate prices with your purchases so we see how much this makeover costs?

  8. mirabai on April 30, 2022 at 7:57 pm

    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!

  9. Sandra Lobato on April 30, 2022 at 7:57 pm

    WooooooW! Beautiful! Hey, where were those black Magazine Holders and Tray from you placed on her Desk? They’re gorgeous!

  10. Servragh Giorsal on April 30, 2022 at 7:59 pm

    Sorry, but I absolutely hate all these" neutral" colors! No beige fawn,taupe, cafe au lait, no smoke,grey mist fog,ad nauseam there is my own art on every wall, in every dish, basket,curtain,lamp etc. I’d go NUTS living in these spaces!!

  11. Donna Stadt on April 30, 2022 at 7:59 pm

    Do you ever use vintage suit cases with luggage tags for storage….hat boxes are cute and stackable, also vintage picnic baskets can be stacked high, taking up little real estate.

  12. Jeanette N Freeland on April 30, 2022 at 7:59 pm

    Did you ever watch Mr.Kate

  13. sharon and ivo of Vega on April 30, 2022 at 8:00 pm

    I was going to use IKEA’s Billy half sized bookcases to create a space around my bed when I lived in a studio. Then the books would face into the living room and the back part you could put some pics on or something or just leave it plain or even paint it.

  14. SherrySilverW on April 30, 2022 at 8:01 pm

    I have beige walls and thank you for the inspiration!

  15. D.D. Jones on April 30, 2022 at 8:05 pm

    I’m new to the channel and subscribed right away!!!

  16. Canal Street on April 30, 2022 at 8:06 pm

    Kitchen? Bathroom?

  17. Patsy Goddard on April 30, 2022 at 8:06 pm

    Beautiful.
    If you wanna add a divider you can try adding cup hooks on the ceiling at the 4 corners of the bed area and add wooden dowels as rods to hang sheer panel curtains…..like a faux 4 poster bed. Curtains can close off the bed space but still let light through

  18. Sharon Payne on April 30, 2022 at 8:09 pm

    Your make over is very expensive for the average people. Apartments now are outrageous on their rent. Couldn"t afford what you buy. My price would b Goodwill.

  19. Jane Rademacher on April 30, 2022 at 8:10 pm

    Please do more renter beige make overs.

  20. Daymickey on April 30, 2022 at 8:11 pm

    Keep the renter beige more often? It really makes the space feel warm and cozy and earthy.

  21. Isra Iqbal on April 30, 2022 at 8:11 pm

    Woww literally u changed the whole vibe/aesthetic of the space….it looks so good….screw big mansions 🙂 I’m going to buy a tiny studio just like this n call u guys to renovate it

  22. Crista Negrete on April 30, 2022 at 8:14 pm

    I love it!!! Where is the desk stuff from for papers etc???

  23. Iris Aguilar on April 30, 2022 at 8:14 pm

    The out of focus shots hurt my head.

  24. Charlene Cain on April 30, 2022 at 8:15 pm

    As always, your renos are beautiful. But where is the window air conditioner? These places don’t have cross ventilation and residents will need heat relief – even in Toronto. And pretty chairs are nice, but people who work from home need ergonomic computer chairs.

  25. J FF on April 30, 2022 at 8:15 pm

    I can NOT believe what you did with that little room. It’s amazing!

  26. Alessia Vassallo on April 30, 2022 at 8:15 pm

    What is the name of the programs she uses?

  27. Claudette Magaw on April 30, 2022 at 8:16 pm

    NICE…….💥

  28. MisterCool on April 30, 2022 at 8:17 pm

    You resemble Linda Cardellini.

  29. Jeanette N Freeland on April 30, 2022 at 8:17 pm

    On YouTube

  30. Suzanne Corey on April 30, 2022 at 8:19 pm

    Really nice. Love the simplicity!

  31. Jam 1244 on April 30, 2022 at 8:21 pm

    Was very skeptical throughout the process was expecting boring, but I am impressed looks minimalist, cozy, and classy. Great job!

  32. B Good on April 30, 2022 at 8:24 pm

    I mean, the floor is also warm so the wall isn’t terrible. It’s a bit dark but not the worst.

  33. ulala9898 on April 30, 2022 at 8:28 pm

    Love this makeover, especially the gallery wall!

  34. Julie Scott on April 30, 2022 at 8:29 pm

    This really came out amazing!!!

  35. Kathleen Bifulco on April 30, 2022 at 8:33 pm

    The wall art was arranged perfectly and I love how it was reflected in the mirror so you can see it on either side, well done!

  36. Ingusch on April 30, 2022 at 8:33 pm

    As a German, I’m so confused by the concept of renter’s beige. Here, the default rental wall colour is white, which to me makes a lot more sense, since it gives the renters a clean slate to start with.

  37. Jell-O on April 30, 2022 at 8:34 pm

    Alexandraaaaaa! I’m speechless!

  38. abigail Joseph on April 30, 2022 at 8:34 pm

    I came here for the home decor, stayed for the pink stunt beanie. The girls that get it, get it. The girls that don’t, dont

  39. Geisha Glam on April 30, 2022 at 8:35 pm

    Finally found a person that has a sense if decor & realistic!

  40. connor on April 30, 2022 at 8:35 pm

    Please stop saying her name over and over idk why it’s giving me the ick

  41. Laurie Bertrand on April 30, 2022 at 8:37 pm

    Absolutely stunning! You and your team are so talented!

  42. Barbara Lewandowski on April 30, 2022 at 8:40 pm

    U just lost me no not that way anyway watchhhh

  43. Miami Florida on April 30, 2022 at 8:42 pm

    What a transformation! WOW! ❤

  44. Marge on April 30, 2022 at 8:42 pm

    I have 2 coffee tables where the tops lift up to be able to eat or work at them (especially 6th grade homework) and they have hidden storage under the top and a bottom shelf for storage. I love them

  45. Susan Martynuska on April 30, 2022 at 8:43 pm

    I think the prints have no character, they look cheap, and have no personality. Also, can’t you turn the sofa on an angle?

  46. Sylvia Carlson on April 30, 2022 at 8:44 pm

    I knew she was going to pick that headboard. I love this makeover! Who wouldn’t be pleased out of their gourd??

  47. Katie on April 30, 2022 at 8:46 pm

    It looks beautiful!! But if it were me, I’d 100% swap the final position of the couch & bed! Bed would be tucked up against the half wall so her head feels more protected, and becomes a place to sit and get dressed as it’s closer to the closets. Then the couch/living area would the best light (where she’s likely to spend more time than the bed during the day), as well as have the patio be an extension of the living space AND be across from the kitchen!! A bit awkward IMO to walk past the bed to go from kitchen to couch, assuming she’ll eat her meals at her couch or desk. But that’s just me!

  48. BeeBee Tee on April 30, 2022 at 8:47 pm

    Love the headboard and the coffee table.

  49. Daymickey on April 30, 2022 at 8:47 pm

    Question – what’s up with that line drawing of the faces appearing everywhere? Is she sponsored by the artist? Alexandra can’t think that everyone likes them regardless of their personal style, right?

  50. Patricia Bravo on April 30, 2022 at 8:47 pm

    Alexandra, I looove always what you wear in the videos! Right now I’m moving and I’m following your videos to have some inspiration. Thanks!!!
