I like all your vlog very comfy and cozy makeover for such a small space😍
The faux plant link didn’t work. Boo hoo.
Why not use a cricut to label instead of the "retro fast food employee labels" ?
I think this looks great but to take it one step further I would have use wooden corner moulding for around the tiled box bump out in bath/shower area painted black or gold if you want renter friendly use double sided tape if a permanent trim use no nails glue don’t forget to cork incase there’s gaps due to tiles or wooden moulding not being square…..
Bathroom organization for a small bathroom. Mine is so so small 🙁
She is just purchasing pretty things and replacing the more functional items – like shower rod. What if you have children – does the hook make it easier for children to use the towel? Also, don’t understand why everyone is obsessed with decanting soap and shampoo. Nothing about that makes sense except if you are buying just one of a kind each time every time, in bulk. So unrealistic.
Love it!!! ❤
I have low ceilings 7 feet high.
Any chance you could do a series with low ceilings? I love your home decor choices. I have watched most of you and Danie’s videos, and have tried to incorporate your ideas in to my choices for home decor.
Love this mini shower makeover- but really 6 ads in a 13min video? Plus the sponser?
I did find the containers in a pretty blue pastic on Amazon.
Your so talented. Love and Blessings ❣️
It always makes me chuckle when I hear you say "retro label maker", because that was the label maker I had as a kid. Does this mean I’m old? 🙂 😄
I work at home can you do a mini bedroom/office makeover on a budget 😳 like all thrift store picks. I really want to see the thrift stores in Canada 🇨🇦
I see I’m a bit late to the party, but I’ve been watching 5,643 of your videos and LOVE each and every one of them. I’m slowly catching up and also watch some of your videos 2 or 3 times. 👍🏻
This is not a bathroom makeover. This is a decorating video. Such bait and switch and a disappointment which is probably why there’s so many thumbs down. 👎🏼
How does this help the environment?
My house is in Cleveland Ohio and it’s a traditional old 1900 house. The dinning room has built-in china cabinets. I’m renting and my cabinets where non-existent. The frame is there but no doors, shelves or glass window. So I placed IKEA hanging planters but I’m not good with plants so they’re empty. I need good decor! Please help!!!
Looks nice except the huge snake plant on the floor is a little impractical.
This was a very nice, budge friendly makeover. Alexandra’s small changes to this bathroom made a difference. No doubt about it.
I’d like to see a mini makeover for a plant corner that feels too cramped. I have a corner in my apartment that gets ALL of the sunlight so all of my plants are in it and now it’s basically unusable.
Super tips, where does one find nce decorative 🪝 ?
I understand that this is your aesthetic, but I really think you should try and mix things up a bit. I feel like I’ve watched one of your videos, I’ve watched them all. Would really love to see something, anything other than pink, tassels and poms poms.
I have a den in my condo that supposed to be my home office but there’s no window and no hardwired light fixture so it’s way too dark! It’s been such a struggle to decorate.
Recycled ideas from old videos
Why would you only put one hook if you literally just said a towel rod can only hold one towel? You’re literally contradicting yourself love
😍😍😍
Front porch! Need to be outside and 6’ apart to hang out 🙂
I agree with some commenters, many men would appreciate having more masculine makeovers.
this is a beautiful makeover! Having said that, you seem to always incorporate pink in your designs which makes me think you decorate more to your taste than someone elses? Always a lot of polkadots, tassels and pinks.
“Bring your own jar”…
SAID NO STORE EVER!!!
Why would you put gold hardware on a silver shower rod? Wtf.
I agree, shower curtains makes a huge difference.
I would like to see you make a make over of a 1bedroom apt without using the pink color. I do not like pink at all, and I don’t know if the same colors would fit without the pink wall or the pink courtines or the pink whatever. tks
I’d like to see you use the type of shower hooks with rollers. They are just so much more zippy and slidy (made up the word, but try them you’ll see what I mean).
Step 1: have a non beige bathroom that already has great tile 😂
The reason I don’t like hooks is because the towel doesn’t dry as well and starts to smell sooner. Also continually putting a wet towel against the wall can do damage to the wall.
Love love love it !! I’m so happy I found you on YouTube
I’d like to see you make over your juvenile penchant for pink that you seem compelled to interject into every project you do!
I wonder how much someone earns with a youtube channel like this 🙂
I have serious closet problems, it’s big, but narrow, cant enter it without wearing oxygen to breath between the tightly packed hanging clothes!!, so I just keep wearing what is at the open end, thinking one day I’ll venture into that unknown area called; "the back of the closet!"
Plants in the shower??? Come on
Coat/entryway closet, tiny laundry space when it’s not really a room and more like a closet, upstairs hallway, back door area when there’s no mud room.
Your ideas are so cute! It turned out very preatty🤗🥰
And it isn’t so expensiv and complicated
I’d go to a stone yard a pick up a marble remnant for the ledge and refresh the grout since it’s not ending with bullnose tile or Schluter cap. Maybe the big boxes have plastic schluter that is easy to cut. It’s that higher-end finishing touch that won’t make it look like a rental.
How darling is this bathroom! Thank you for showing us! I’d love to see laundry area done in the garage. Something calming with surprisingly beautiful touches. This had stumped me for seven years, since we moved here. Have fun and stay safe out there ❤️
Love this! How about my nonexistent entryway that is really just a tiny hall to the kitchen and living room? It has wall hooks (old-fashioned wooden plaque types) on both walls holding everything from an umbrella to keys to grocery bags and the dog leash. Oh, and there’s a rug to leave every day shoes on. Ho hum.
Interested in which plants.. The link has expired.
Everything is always pink?
Towels hooks are the worst cause you’re towels never dry well. That why towel rods exist so the towel can be spread out and dry. Like your towel can even get mildewed or moldy if you don’t dry it properly :/
Love the shower curtain!
Also that is the ugliest shower curtain I have ever seen. Choose a color scheme and stick with it
