DIY rental kitchen makeover for under $600 | Modern Farmhouse style!

[@julietlaney2776]

I think this might be one of my favorite makeovers you’ve ever done, and I might just copy 90% of it 😂

[@JenMUA]

Juliet Laney honestly, I wish I could do this in my rental...I’m literally going to do my daughter’s play kitchen area exactly like this! 🤣

[@aliciajames8038]

What’s the 10% you’re not going to do? Or didn’t do

[@ayoung161]

The combo of pastel colors is giving me a true, vintage, 1950s vibe 😍

[@lindsaymiller1669]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@AnaRMer]

I was thinking something similar, it comes off as late 60s, very art deco to me.

[@BlweLotus]

The reveal REALLY showed the impact the paint and backslash made. Amazing!

[@marycampisi4524]

Where can I get the dish mat?

[@mael2039]

I feel like with the new cabinet colours and the back splash, the counter tops themselves went from bläh to really beautiful because suddenly the dark contrast fit really well and wasn't too stark anymore. The space is so much warmer and immediately looks more homey! I really love what you did here!!

[@barbarabryant6788]

I'm 70 years old and I love your videos. I will continue to watch you. So many great ideas.

[@shayelea]

Every time I hear, “You definitely need two people,” I think, “CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.” 🤣 PS that dishwasher hack is really clever!

[@shayelea]

maroxa101 Yep, I live alone and am usually too impatient to wait for help!

[@juliagoolia72]

So last weekend I put up a “simple” peel and stick tile behind my stove. No problem I thought. It’s only two panels, I’m a rockstar, who needs two people? Not me! Ya well, cut to an hour and a half later, there’s wasted peel and stick wall paper everywhere-tossed aside in frustration because it kept sticking to itself and shifting as I tried to put it up alone-and I’m trying to ignore the creases and bubbles I just can’t get out.

[@naziahrana]

Loved her reaction, she physically had to back up 🤣 also love how you mix patterns and styles. Somehow it always works 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@salenarichardson2766]

Her reaction is everything

[@darylvondunker327]

The Dish Rack is freaking awesome! I’ve never seen a slinky-styled dish rack. Very cool. The half circle drawer fixtures were perfect. The rugs was lovely.

[@cynthiacarvajal4486]

You outdid yourself with this one Alexandra. Loooove this transformation!!!!

[@Wilbem01]

Her reaction was THE BEST! ☺️🥰

[@biancabitica1150]

Her reaction made me smile from ear to ear! Literally looks like a Pinterest inspo kitchen. Alexandra, you nailed it like always! ♥️

[@ILOLnumber1]

I gotta admit that when Alex said, "...it's gonna tie this whole room together..." I was totally expecting her to say, say it with me everybody, "a beautiful light fixture." Am I right??? Also, those Quadrostyle stickers are total , gorgeous, game changers!!!

[@MsLaBajo]

Yeah I expected the IKEA light. 😆

[@christinaerfurt3425]

I knew it's a rug😂

[@paulajf4205]

Yep, the rattan ikea light ... and then if you said anything negative about it, you would have been vilified- ha. The rug is great.

[@shayelea]

No, I was getting strong Big Lebowski vibes! 🤣

[@NEILZEE11]

I was a little nervous when I saw that sort of pink colored Art Deco-ish backsplash with the green cabinets, but it worked.

[@clairemyers6687]

What a transformation! I love everything from all the clever hacks down to the color scheme! Great job once again Alexandra!

[@EEdwards879]

i don't think i have ever seen a more calming kitchen before? this rocks, love it, all the amazing patterns just work well together. so awesome! ( ;

[@sandrastrobel1254]

Another fabulous makeover. You are such a natural. The backsplash is an unexpected element that makes this makeover stand out above the cookie cutter kitchens I see online.

[@karmad4491]

I've been binge-watching these videos and this is absolutely my favorite.

[@melonboi2553]

I love kitchen makeovers they're my favorite!!!!!

[@alinagutierrez3019]

Mine too!

[@JenMUA]

This is one of my favorite makeovers so far! I love those colors! Everything is too cute!

[@jff1813]

This is truly awesome - transformed into a cozy, warm, yet very stylish room. The renter's reaction is great!

[@pamelabryant7390]

I love everything you do! I am very much trying to be a minimalist. My daughter taught me a trick. She found a cake pan where the base was similar size as my toaster. A toaster you really only use it maybe 10 minutes a day. If you use it every day. So when I’m not using it it’s slips in underneath in a cabinet. Real estate on the countertop has been rescued. Please stay safe everyone and God bless you and yours.🌹♥️🇺🇸

[@aviajarehema7393]

Liked this kitchen makeover as well. Highlights IMO: Cutting Board, Paper Towel Holder, Drawer Pulls, Dish Scrubber, Utensils, Orange Bowls, Pink Bowls, Pitcher/Utensil Holder, Jars, Toaster, Dish Drainer, Dish Tray, Amber Bottle, Towel Bar.

[@toriladybird511]

That door in the top left corner that was "wonkey" it made me so happy seeing it fixed and straight. Then that gorgeous sage green. #IKEA work with her again!!!

[@komalchauhan2253]

Total agree with u 🤩

[@wiinidiaz]

Excellent work, Alexandra-and the AG Team. I did cry, your make-over transformations can have such an emotional effect. They make you realise that it's not just about a lick of paint. Well done, girly. 🤗🤗🤗

[@karlaanitasdottir3934]

One of my fave makeover. Vintage but modern, warm, fancy. Absolute fan of the combo pink+green

[@CutieMoli]

I just signed my first ever rental contract, it's a small farm. Let me tell you i'm about to binge watch this channel.

[@karonmcgregor4753]

Would never have thought of combining those two colours, yet they look great together.

[@JenMUA]

Deserty Arizona Vibe is a thing! I live in the desert part time and I def used some of your design inspiration and the desert vibes to decorate!

[@maunarose]

Stunning, Gater. This is one of your best ever. And yes, I’d like to see an appliance paint segment. I plan to replace my fridge at some point next year, but in the meantime she just needs a little cosmetic love.

[@jolaw6742]

It looks older than before, very retro, I like the before and gives very good start for something modern ..but most important that you both re happy with

[@LyraDavis]

Gorgeous! The only things I’d do if it were mine would be to change out the tap on the sink and add in LED light strip under the upper cabinets but otherwise this is perfect! Great job!

[@larag1764]

I loved the splashback even tho I first thought it would clash with the sage cupboards. I'd add a small table n chairs / stools on right b/n window and door so I could spend more time in there. I cover my fridge with photos n trashy holiiday magnets ☺ Stay safe and best wishes from Australia 🤗

[@anneko6842]

I don’t fix them my unsightly appliances. I just love with it 😂 Would love a video on touching up/painting them

[@shawneilbailey-gordon4255]

This is beautiful Alexandra! So timely because I am in the middle of deciding what to do on my kitchen reno. My landlord is okay with us doing whatever but this vibes and color ... everything is exactlyyyy what I want our kitchen to look like. Thank you!!!!! Good job

[@katbar6066]

Love the reno. Such a huge change for a small cost. I think the owner now needs to patch and paint the wooden wall boarding just to finish it off. Good job Alexandra!

[@cristina_h]

That will always be the best rental kitchen upgrade ever

[@sybylo]

Love that 50's vibe!!

[@srl88288]

Wasn't sure if the paint and the back splash would work together, but it TOTALLY does! Good call to paint top and bottom that GORGEOUS green! Amazing makeover as always Alexandra!

[@biancapopescu2599]

Take a shot every time she says "team A.G." 🥂😂 Loved how it turned out! 🌺

[@krystalobrien8622]

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed how hard she was plugging "Team A G".... Came off a little unnatural.

[@KatherineTheGr8t]

Quaint little dish drainer, nice. Take note if the new shelves are up too high. Individually the colors and items in the kitchen don't seem like much but all together, they rock!

[@miss.leviwhiteside5923]

I LOVE IT!!! The sage color and that rug! I was just imagining a large rug that would look like that one the other day! The color and pattern of the backsplash looks great with the green. I´ve gotta look into that paper since soon I will be taking off the simple tile edging I have in my kitchen. I always wanted to be an interior designer and since owning my home I´ve been a no-nail-nancy because I don´t want a bunch of holes in the drywall-Only one of 4 paint colors I´ve used I actually like and the idea of trying to paint again wears me out. A few years have gone by where I gave up on my house and now I´m reclaiming it-decluttering and making sure this year to go ALL out decorating for the holidays and since I worked on my jungle themed living room I feel major desire to put everything I have into getting this house on point. You inspire me so much and have shown me to calm down-the best stuff to patch holes, to paint and paint again, and that its ok and achievable. Looking forward to many more episodes. Oh! I want to admit-I bought one of those shapely baskets to put a plant in and I call it my Alexandra Gater basket because I don´t think I had seen one until your show. Much appreciation from Texas.

[@alinagutierrez3019]

This one and the "Patty Smith" studio are my favourite so far, really great job!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jacquelineellis-trice9610]

“Arizona desserty vibe” is a thing. I love that you said that.😂😂😂

[@odd-one-out4409]

The paint color on the cabinets was my favorite. Great Job Alexandra!

[@kedeglow2743]

I love how you left in the shots of your helpers--great leaders give plentiful credit to those they lead! Lovely makeover too!

[@Minnie11chula]

You are genius! Love rental friendly and small spaces AND that you do so much on a budget AND DIY. I also really appreciate the great editing of your videos; no rambling but include fun behind the scenes.

[@Minnie11chula]

Amazing... but kinda curious as no shots of fridge and just a glimpse of stove.

[@LilLoo226]

Nice job! If you ever want to the the dishwasher hack in the future, please note that you can get flat, cuttable magnet sheets that are strong and wouldn't be seen under the towel bar.

[@MsSneaky0815]

Oh and it also gives me the confidence that my choice of green for my kitchen reno was a good idea. So thanks for that 😁😁😁

[@itscarolinemary]

Love the sage green cabinets, the backsplash, rug, shelves, everything! Amazing job! :)

[@sondraurgelles8530]

I love it just as much as the home owner lol! The color is amazing and it just looks so good. The knobs on the cabinets give it a high end touch. You did your thing 👏

[@reginaceragioli8101]

One of your best transformations! Love it!!

[@RotKopf0328]

Very vintage Arizona vibe colors!!! I love this!!

[@themommymagic]

I had a black and white checked floor I I painted the walls pink and a little darker pink on the fridge. Totally made it look vintage 50’s. I’m planning on painting my other kitchen fridge gold dots with gold accents all around.

[@E314-r2y]

I wish you would do a TRUE renter friendly kitchen makeover. I don’t know any landlord as nice as the ones you’ve experienced!

[@uliana_olson]

This is probably my favorite makeover as of late! Turned out so good! It was cold and bland but now it's so warm and cozy!

[@alktngirl]

Loved you taking us with you to shop for paint color. Also really enjoyed the extra clips of you not in “camera mode”. Your personality was on display and so FUN! You are aborbs :-)

[@renaeweidman]

At first I wasn't a fan of the "tile" but when you panned out and you can see the whole kitchen it looks AMAZING! Very well done as usual!

[@superbandgeeek]

Alexandra, you did so good!! I love the vibe of your recent videos! I feel like you are really connecting, and your genuine personality is shining through! Thanks for the great content and home decor inspo :)

[@quadbox]

Bravo Team AG! I love, love, love this kitchen. It's so cute without being twee. The only thing I would change for my personal taste would be the framed picture above the sink, but the rest it just gorgeous.

[@listenupkids]

This is super cute. Super duper cute!

[@livingauthenticallyonmyownterm]

Alexandra, this is my favourite kitchen !!! Geez wheez it's purdy !!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@paigewinsor1792]

Another rental friendly kitchen hack that I have done is to find cabinet handles that have a bit of width to them, and then to use a Command strip that are made for hanging posters to adhere them to the cabinet. It makes SUCH a difference and is completely removable!

[@HurrahMurti]

Absolutely love the colours and the idea of choosing pretty things that are out on display, like the dishdrainer. But the klutz that I am, I would be running into the towel rail on the dishwasher, and would choose peel and stick vinyl to cover it.

[@SandyQuintans]

Her reaction is everything. Such a wonderful transformation!

[@sharonmccann2902]

Alexandra, you are such a sweet breath of fresh air, and your designs are terrific! 😊

[@marilyns6043]

I love the dishwasher coverup. That is really clever!

[@karenmcneill2602]

LOVE!!! Beautiful and in keeping with her home. Sarah's reaction was lovely. I bet this is her new favourite room in her home! Stunning work Team AG.

[@VsLeo1]

I do love this make over, it’s gorgeous! - I wish that the editing kept to real life color instead of adding that pink hue to it. Look at the white balance for the white kitchen that made it whiter, and then the red tone that make the new kitchen warmer.

[@adriennealtman836]

Are used chalkboard paint for our laundry room fridge… Super easy and super fun We also used it for a backsplash briefly in the kids playroom

[@noladiorez8305]

So pretty. Very, very nice makeover. Keep seeing that hole in the wall though. Filling that is such an ez fix.

[@qbee53]

The best thing I have seen from you to date! No pompoms and no wicker ikea pendant light.

[@pollyporter-campbell7493]

Hysterical..."I don't know if that's a thing. I just made it up." Nice makeover.

[@geng8667]

❤❤❤ this kitchen! You’ve used my favorite colors here. When I finally give my kitchen it’s very much needed makeover, I will definitely be using some of your ideas.😉

[@eirinilogotheti2482]

Great job as always!! You make people so happy and I am so proud of you!! You always give me such great ideas and I am thankful, so lots of love and kisses from Greece ♥️♥️🙏👏🇬🇷😘😘

[@christinaerfurt3425]

Wow. I think it's the best transformation that you ever made 😍😍😍

[@lisaschreiber2893]

for when I had my unsightly rental appliances (I own now), I would put a contact paper type skin over it and paint it... that way I could just pull it off when I moved, no muss no fuss while allowing me to make it the perfect color I wanted. if the water control panel was black, I would go with darker colors and if it was white, then something more pastel or neutral

[@Orlagh]

Her reaction is the cutest thing ever! The transformation is amazing 😍

[@orfhlaith]

My name is Orlagh too! Hi :)

[@alexandrawenzig8704]

This has to be my favorite makeover you have done so far. Stunning! Love how warm the space feels now. The colors are perfection and the rug pulled it all together. AMAZING.

[@ChelseaFavelle]

I used peel and stick chalkboard paper on my fridge. Buy a bunch of chalkbaord markers and you have a seasonal 'menu', ongoing grocery list, fun sayings (nice buns is a our-kitchen classic).

[@karentappert3606]

Alexandra, you hit this one out of the ballpark..Wow!! Love how the rug ties in with the colors of the backsplash and the sage cabinets. Wonderful job!!

[@TheEgypt28]

another AMAZING makeover!!! OMG that pastel green is GORGEOUS!!!! the backsplash ties in so well with the vibe of the kitchen ❤️❤️❤️

[@irenefrancis]

This one is by far one of the best you have done. Fantastic!

[@Fardowsi]

Definitely one of my favorite makeovers by Alexandra! The kitchen accessories are super cute.

[@lindacruikshank2656]

It looks so so much better. Great job. Nice colors, back splash, and shelves. That rug is so pretty.

[@nancyanneberg403]

So full of hope. Thank you. Great kitchen to be in

[@sscharff11]

That rug and backsplash match so well and bring so much warmth to the room! Love it!

[@source5729]

That looks like my mom’s kitchen in 1981! Same ‘tile’ & cabinet color ~ wow

[@vickinoeske1711]

What a great apartment! For a rental it has a nice kitchen. Very nice upgrade.

[@pamelaatkinson5710]

That really is a beautiful transformation. Love the shelves and love the color combo and agree that the rug pulls it all together but also notice that the plants really take it up a step. Beautiful.

[@mariannerady1137]

Wow, the RETOR VIBES of this are too much!!! Love love love it!!!

[@malkiaroberts1571]

Wow! I'm so glad you opted to paint the upper and lower cabinets. I love the print on the back splash....The kitchen is so inviting and yes it's a huge transformation ♥️

[@NDD710]

Yes please to the appliance paint video!😊Beautiful makeover!

[@bevmacdonald9008]

Fabulous! I love it! It looks so much better! And while the framed print over the sink matches perfectly, I would swap it out for a decorative mirror or some decor piece with mirror qualities. I find that when the ideal of a window over the sink is not an option, a printed or frosted mirror is the next best thing. It increases the light and feeling of openness as well as helping the person washing dishes to see what is going on behind them and stay engaged with the other people around...or even see the wall mounted tv.

[@mommygarcia9137]

Super cute kitchen ! Love the colors on the cabinets !!

[@katrish786]

The kitchen turned out adorable. I had my doubts that you could turn that kitchen into anything good.

[@hellokeru]

Don't get me wrong, the kitchen is absolutely gorgeous, but her reaction is the best part for me 🥰

[@kuropingguo]

Oh wow I really love this one! Btw I would really want to know more on covering up unsightly appliances 🤣

[@manuelamartin9825]

Hi Alexandra I love what you doing make us very happy...watching you from Germany....BLESS you

[@dianeliggett9575]

Your channel continues to be my favorite channel, ever!!! We renters need you.

[@Kelli.Hicks.5]

"Desert-y Arizona vibes" is definitely it. 🌵 It never ceases to amaze me that quick fixes and simple solutions can have such an IMPACT. 😍
