RENTER-FRIENDLY KITCHEN MAKEOVER *Before & After*

[@miranduri]

Hi Allí. I’m a retired interior designer. The octagonal frames need to go higher in the wall. But, aside from that you did really great. It looks beautiful.

[@cherisparkle]

Yes I agree.

[@lisamarie-myyoutubelife]

Totally agree

[@roseboren6747]

I agree with you!

[@VioletJoy]

I wanted to move those up so badly! Lol

[@puppytoes6241]

Agree.

[@My.Comfy.House.]

As someone that is super struggling with renter friendly diys myself your videos are inspiring. I think the kitchen is super cute. The only adjustment i would personally make is bringing the oval circular frames above the peel and stick. To me the second one looks off draped over the peel and stick. I think theyd look better above the peel and stick border

[@sandyheredia3027]

I agree.

[@KimberlyJK-l9s]

What a difference! I'd raise the ebay plaques up off the tile, but everything else is just beautiful! Like looking at a picture from Better Homes & Gardens! Smart style! Nice personal touches.

[@chriswithers8835]

I had the same instant reaction to the plaques placement. At the very least place the lower plaque so it's bottom edge is touching the top tile edge and place second with the current spacing. The placement of the lower tile was distracting from the beautiful features you added...it was all I could focus on. Love your design choices usually but not this particular placement (if you found a 3rd matching plaque above the top one it would make sense to my brain) ❤

[@alesiarhodes6868]

Like the ceiling and under the cabinet light

[@dorothybeckley]

Room is beautiful! I do agree with raising the octagonal pics😊

[@reneefooks9206]

Your rental kitchen is totally adorable!! You have a great design aesthetic! It’s warm, cozy and very inviting without spending a fortune. Love your diy’s! Well done!😮

[@auntlynnie]

I just bought a home, and although it’s mine, I won’t be able to afford a kitchen reno anytime soon, and it’s the original 1990 kitchen. These tips will help me make it through until I can do the full renovation! ❤

[@KrazyKat71]

It's fabulous now. Wow what a change

[@reneemanso1601]

I love the makeover. At first I was skeptical about the green tile, but after seeing it on the wall I see it looks beautiful. You are so talented. Great job my friend. Can't wait to see which room is next to be redone.

[@slimyari83]

I am so glad I find your video so natural. ❤

[@JaniceKirchoff-yz6bs]

The black hardware and green tile look so beautiful! Love the make over!

[@bayleewallace2899]

This is maybe the best rental friendly kitchen upgrade! And realistic- thank you!

[@gregoryd5105]

I love it so much! I feel like you perfectly balanced a present day look, along with some vintage touches! The green is so cozy.

[@pamkendrick1855]

Turned out warm and beautiful!

[@barbiec4312]

Turned out SO adorable. Really well done.

[@lawson56]

Excellent! Looks great!

[@ActuallyAlli]

Thanks so much!

[@tinamcelyea5972]

Looks great, but why didn't you pull the stove out about a foot, and you could have used full sheets and not cut anything. ​@ActuallyAlli

[@AnnEaton-xj6ic]

WOW!! What a difference!! Love the green tile backsplash!! Those outlet covers are so cute!! The black hardware & light makes a huge impact!!🥰

[@bonnienash3033]

This is adorable, I love it! One of the things I did when making over my small rental kitchen was to add a large dishwasher magnet that I found on Amazon… just one more place to add art to cover and otherwise bland appliance

[@sandysimmer1279]

New subscriber here. I absolutely love the green tiles! And the outlet plates are just my style and adorable!!!!

[@lauriebertrand9319]

I’ve been waiting for this video! What a beautiful transformation….so many ideas now for my rental kitchen. I can’t wait to add the peel and stick tiles! I’m so glad I watched you install the contact paper first. Never would have thought to do that! My kitchen is so outdated and has damage. This video makes me excited to transform mine! Thank you!

[@Andrea-wy9sf]

Omg Alli, I love it so much. Great Job as always👍

[@Nickbenoit720]

SOOO MUCH WARMTH AND COZINESS! Love it so much!

[@lisaleidenheimer3507]

I just love it. After seeing those green tiles I'm going to order some for my bathroom and kitchen thanks the idea.

[@ActuallyAlli]

They would look great in a bathroom too! Good luck with your project!! 💜

[@lisaleidenheimer3507]

@@ActuallyAlli thanks

[@marianne1959]

I always love the spaces you design....not so much this one as its giving me a grandma vibe. BUT ....asong as you both love it, that is really all that matters

[@cynthiadodge3089]

Very well done!! 👏👏 I love the green tile, too! I like that you placed the tiles in a non-traditional arrangement, as well. Does NOT look like the same old boring apartment kitchen! 😍😍

[@carolyndietrich8214]

It’s beautiful! I love it. The black hardware made the kitchen look more upscale. You have such a talent for making a rental space so much more attractive but doing so in a way you can “undo” it when you move. ❤❤❤

[@MeezerGurlMakes]

That's a REALLY pretty kitchen - such great ideas!!!

[@barbaranewland8220]

That turned out beautifully

[@kathyhenry4770]

I like that you show the mistakes. ☺️ Good job!!!!

[@annaryan4803]

You did it! You really did it! You found a way to lighten and brighten your kitchen!

[@cookie761]

I think it's absolutely gorgeous! One of the best things you did, that you didn't talk about, was taking that big black air fryer off the top of the refrigerator! That really distracted my eye when I saw it. Great job, young lady!

[@ReccaPatel]

Omg! I neeeed those under-cabinet lights!😮

[@birthdaybash4721]

The kitchen was not as bad as you said. Having said that, you did a beautiful makeover. Good job.

[@junerobbins6871]

Love the kitchen. That rug is amazing. I love it !!

[@naomifrakes6474]

Alli, this is beautiful! I love how your style has evolved and is still playful but sophisticated now… what a huge change from the blah kitchen you had!! So inspiring thank you for sharing.

[@kellywall3656]

I really like how you styled the kitchen. It looks so warm and cozy. I did something similar on the wall above my stove. It needed something. I fit some foam board to the space then affixed the peel and stick tiles to the foam board and stuck it on the wall using command strips. It’s amazing how something so little can make a huge impact on your space.

[@carolmcmanus-ox4vk]

Really great ideas for centers!❤

[@staciefreeman4396]

Love it, worth the work Alli!

[@lindawarden-burglund9603]

I absolutely LOVE it! Love the green, the runner, the styling elements, and the new hardware! Your kitchen is now lighter, brighter, and I love the mid- century vibe! It's given me some great ideas to upgrade my own kitchen! Beautiful job! Thanks!

[@joannetolson1155]

Beautiful, giving me lots of ideas for our kitchen makeover!

[@debbiethompson8748]

It looks fantastic!

[@ActuallyAlli]

Thanks, Debbie! 💜

[@crystalmcmahon302]

Alli it looks fantastic you did a great job. Love how you decorated it. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week ❤

[@ang8541]

Your diy's are just proof that with a little imagination, a small budget, and a few decor pieces, you can take an outdated and drab room, to new and fab👏👏!! Great job, love it!!

[@ellishharcro7325]

Your eye for design is amazing. I'm so happy you went with the green tile. It makes your kitchen interesting.

[@leah__gail]

Very nice!! You really warmed it up! 🥰❤️

[@crystalkirkland781]

It looks awesome. I wasn’t sure about the tile until it was all up. I think you should put the tile above the refrigerator below cabinets just where you can see.

[@mamaroza22]

Absolutely, it is what's missing. Looks unfinished, so spend a little more bucks and do the job right. She will love it.

[@kathywiszowaty4607]

Wow! That kitchen looks absolutely fabulous!!! ✌️&❤

[@widowswatch6610]

Wow!!! What a difference. It looks so good. I love the green tiles and the greenery in the vase.Your bar space is fabulous too. Cute!

[@shirleyelliott242]

I love it!! My condo has a small dark kitchen and I got some wonderful ideas from your videos

[@seattlegirl2077]

Really nice the way you've used color to pull all the new elements together.

[@devoneybrandon5784]

It looks wonderful! Great job! Thank you for your content!

[@parker.100]

I LOVE how you somehow made the black large appliances work by tweaking the color scheme. The black actually looks good. It's genius.

[@parker.100]

I'm thinking it was a combination of the gold touches (esp gold frame magnets on fridge) and black cabinet hardware that really did it but I'm not entirely sure

[@dianeguy7452]

It really looks fantastic. Cozy and stylish. ❤

[@geribowens9390]

Wow, girl, you did it. I really didn't think you were going to pull it off, but you did, and it looks great. Can't wait to see your next diy video.

[@novamccoy1963]

Absolutely love it! The green is magnificent!💚

[@ItsMe-so4nd]

Girl you are a hoot! I loved watching your video! It brought a sense of humor and kinder seeing you struggle with some of the challenges you had lol. It was cute. That said… great job at keeping us entertained and great job with your kitchen makeover. The greenery of the room gives it a sense of life and the the custom added features are truly what tie in the whole room. I think your esthetic is true to who you are and it was awe moment watching your expression lit up once it was complete. Snaps for you!

[@MariaSimpson-rp1os]

Very nice! Kitchen looks much warmer 😊

[@shaybee6893]

Great job. I love decorating with red and green. Looks very cute!

[@janedelarosa5957]

Congratulations on your remodel kitchen. I love what you came up with this idea. The decor really sends a beautiful message on how to update and old space and give it life.love your colors. Jane❤

[@APerfectPlacetoStart]

I love it Alli! You really have an eye for decorating 😊

[@loriwilson1832]

It’s so beautiful Alli! So cozy. I love it! ❤️ Some plants/decor on top of the upper cabinets would draw the eyes up as well.

[@talia9144]

Beautiful transformation!

[@lindanewburn3021]

You did an absolute beautiful kitchen makeover......😊❤

[@shannonjosephs6413]

Turned out beautiful!

[@paty2216]

[@algreenwood4114]

I love it Ali! It looks so good with the green and all the details that coordinate so well. Especially love the rug and the lamp and the crock

[@reginaburns8277]

Go girl, lot of work

[@ActuallyAlli]

It was a lot of work! But I think totally worth it! 💕

[@DonaldPauline25]

That looks so nice… Love it

[@CraftingMyBestLifewithLisa]

Love it! Those tiles look amazing! I am inspired to try tiles in my rental kitchen. As usual, you did a great job. 🥰🤗

[@miachristine6333]

Its very inspiring. You've got me thinking about my own kitchen. I always wondered about the peel and stick. Now, I can't wait to do my own!

[@moanabrown9194]

Wow, what an awesome space! It looks gorgeous! Great job! ❤️

[@K.T-]

I'm renting and I would cover the floor, the cabinet and every Orange colored door and wood frame.. It is a decent place but so outdated, by the time I move. It would really be a hassle to unravel everything that I covered up due to the new facelift I would be giving this place!!

[@marychabot618]

Amazing difference! Where did you find the magnets that you put on your refrigerator? They are so cute!

[@pamelatownsend276]

I love what you did....so beautiful!!!

[@Guammaine]

We have the same kitchen! Thank you this idea was brilliant

[@dianedavidson3533]

Absolutely stunning! Amazing transformation! I do have to say I almost had a heart attack when you drilled on top of your granite counter top! I seriously thought you had cracked it instead of just the light diffuser!

[@momoshark2257]

I love it. All came together

[@judymcintire8061]

Absolutely stunning 😊

[@traceyg7925]

Love love the rug and the art!! Also the idea of contact paper as a base layer! That’s even awesome when you aren’t renting but want a less committal change😜

[@beramyers8873]

❤❤. The green is beautiful

[@TracyHunt-x4g]

You did such a wonderful job on the kitchen. Very lovely, warm and cozy.😊
