Hey guys! I'm Alexandra Gater and I show you how to do rental-friendly upgrades and DIY projects on a budget. Be sure to follow me on Instagram for our monthly video schedule! In today's video, I'm transforming a cozy 253 sq ft studio apartment into a mid-century modern dream. I'm sharing tips on how to create separation in a studio apartment and a DIY project that turns a previously non-existent entryway into a functional (separate!) area.

I love this makeover!! But can we please stop calling grahams professional woodworking projects that take days, sometimes more than a week, to prepare beforehand “diy”? Sure, technically he did it himself, but he (probably) spent a lot of money outfitting his workshop and has the vibe of a fourth generation woodworker

[@angiegarin3690]

I don't think the same as you. I believe these videos show a great capacity for creativity and that when it comes to decorating a space, you don't necessarily need to consider only the furniture already designed and made by a company. Instead, you can create something based on your own needs. Later, you can decide whether it's better to do it yourself or go to a professional to design and/or build it. Greetings, Alexandra, from Uruguay. I hope to win a consultation with you!! 💖✨

[@essendossev362]

What I most love about this particular redesign is in practice how few major things changed, meaning, how many of his original piece you kept in their original places. And yet, the changes you made were so impactful! It goes to show, you can be on the right track but still not quite have it all tied together. It takes that creative thought to take it up to that level. This is why you're the professionals!!!

[@mayaralouzada242]

Another tip: I use the white version of the same IKEA blind as a projector screen. Cheap and efficient 👍

[@monicacavalcanti2860]

I'd believe it if the whole apartment was 253 sqft! I'm currently in a 400 sqft apartment which has a pretty large kitchen with peninsula, a living space that is similarly sized to this one, and a full bedroom with lots of walk-in storage. It all feels bigger than the number sounds!

Yesssss, if Alexandra wanted to work in another type of segments, she could have those kind of styling sessions with people preferably some of her viewers. The viewers can send in design inspiration and she could have in-store events at home since sponsored by HomeSense, where she walks the mini-groups or individuals around the store and show them some of the real pearls there at the store and also to show them how it could be styled in their space. The styling in space peace could be virtual like schematics, and if the peopyle choose to use those pieces they would then follow up with a photo op of how it was installed in their space. I'd watch the show!

[@dreamingincolour0]

Agreed, my only note on this incredible makeover is that the entryway could easily have been designed a little narrower to give more space at the end of the bed. It would also help with putting the sheets on

This was sooo beautiful 👏🏾😍 I do have 2 small things I would like to mention though: I feel like even though the divider is GORGEOUS, i would’ve made it a tad smaller and left maybe a little room at the foot of the bed for him to make his bed much easier. And it wouldn’t have taken away from the entry way because it was quite large anyways. And Second, I feel like we haven’t been seeing enough reactions to the custom features you’ve made for these people! In this one, it’s the hidden acting backdrop. I get so excited about how clever y’all customize things and then we don’t even see what they thought! It’s a bummer honestly! But again, beautiful makeover 🤍🤍

[@niksiever3135]

The studio turned out fantastic❤❤❤ So funny, I’m also a flight attendant and when you were showing his apartment at the beginning I could see his luggage and I thought “huh, he must be a flight attendant” but then he said he was an actor so I thought he might be travelling a lot but the topper bag is still an odd choice for someone who isn’t flying crew. And then you confirmed my original hunch. I’m happy for my colleague to have this lovely place to go home to. Well deserved. ❤

[@user-hm4wm3tj7s]

Why so much entrance space and to little left at the end of the bed, to make it easier to make up the bed. The new wood canopy should be 30 to 50cm closer to the door. The entrance takes up the same space as what is left for the bed.

[@sarbeeo]

Was just thinking the same thing! A little more space around the bed would’ve been more functional. A small gap at the foot and against the wall. He can push the bed flush when he’s got guests and pull the arm chair further out to maximize the social area. These tiny tweaks that could be done would’ve drove me crazy 😭

[@Jen.O]

I love the scene at the beginning where Graham is on the floor by the bed. When I was in high school after we cleaned the house, I wood hide on the floor behind my bed to take a nap.

So chic! So luxe! That entry way is perfection! Another studio fix winner! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@elena_a-2023]

This space is now elegant, cohesive, and functional. My favorite-favorite is the entryway. Alexandra is SOOOOOO lucky to have so many talented people in her team!

That wall divider freaking killed it! We need graham to do some videos on how to make things!!!!

[@debsylvester2012]

Once again you have captured the essence of your client to perfection. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Alexandra and team, you’ve given me a whole new outlook on studio apartments. I often used to wonder, after living in homes with so many rooms, how can anyone manage to live comfortably in such small places?! Mainly because so many humans tend to have so much stuff. You all make these places look so much bigger, functional and delightfully stylish. Never seen a makeover of yours that I didn’t like. You guy are amazing. You always blow your clients minds and this viewer also. Keep up the magnificent job. ❤❤

Alexandra is extremely talented! I don't see many interior decorators that shocks me in a good way. Her makeovers are out of the ballpark.

🤣I made a comment earlier that Graham’s vibe was a mixture of old man when coming up and carrying through amazing projects and little boy when smiling. I accidentally left out the word “wise” old man. I’m 67 and he reminds me of how my father was always able to create magic out of found objects, brain power and hard work. Love your show! You’re all amazing!!!

My mind is still blown by that divider. Jaw dropping stunning it is in my top 3 favorite things y'all have ever done. 🎉❤

Graham is a master at building one-of-a-kind pieces. That entry construct is stunning. Love the furniture choices definitely matches his design vibe. Window treatment perfect! The art pieces bring in the perfect color contrast. Congrats team! Amazing.

[@MakeMeThinkAgain]

Having walls without windows or doors is such an advantage -- says the person without a single uninterrupted wall. Another amazing space.

[@kathyp.9507]

Alexandra, once again and always you've created a gorgeous room. Absolutely stunning✨ You and your crew are a delight to watch and Graham is such a miracle worker, keep him always. All of you be healthy and stay safe!!! Peace and Love ☮️❤️ from sunny 🌅 Greece 🏖️🇬🇷

[@Purplemoons49]

You expand on your talent every make over. That entryway is so magnificent. The colors so warm. Cozy Fall vibes. Not over decorated. Just WOW. Beautiful Cool Makeover. You knocked it out of the park Team AG.

GIRL ~~ You hit this out the ball park!!! Exceptional work and design!!!!!

[@sherrycohen1824]

This looks terrific, especially for a man. My only negative remarks are about the plant in front of the picture and the fact is that he doesn't have a dining table. Even one for just two people would be a must, I would think.

[@FurnitureFan]

Yes, maybe a folding one, like a shelf that comes down?

[@shandafetter553]

Alexandra, I love the color scheme you chose for your client. The rich tones suit him so well! He looked so happy.

[@lauris5708]

Alexandra, you and your team have outdone yourselves on this one. The whole thing is amazing, and it really does seem to fit his cool and fun personality while still looking like an adult's home. I say this every week, but this is one of my favorite makeovers. Also, we all need a Graham in our lives who is so creative and artistic.

[@nohandle508]

Stellar! Please check with Gokhan if he has enough room for his legs when he's in bed, if you haven't yet. The entryway area looks gorgeous!! Heck, would love to live in this place myself :-D

[@annyinwpg]

Was looking for this comment! I think the entryway could have been a foot or so smaller to allow for some foot room at the foot of the bed. He may need to turn the bed to allow for foot room.

[@sunshinegreeniegreen]

Agree, the entryway is beautiful, but if the ceiling build had been a bit shorter, there would still be ample space to walk in, and ample space between the divider and the foot of the bed to walk around. Seems like a major miss to me. The bed are looks so cramped in what is otherwise a gorgeous makeover.

[@em_greenfield]

Yeah this was my first thought. The entryway build looks amazing but it is SO big, they could easily have left Gokhan room to move between the divider and the bed instead - also makes it MUCH less of a hassle to make the bed, if you can at least access around the foot end of the bed, too. I had a bed that was fully in a niche for a year or two in a previous apartment and it was so annoying to make the bed lol

[@sashasamir2021]

grahm deserves a raise right now! hes putting in that work

[@leslierich5066]

YOU GUYS FREAKING NAILED IT. Mid century modern exquisite especial vibes. This one came together insane. The details 🤌🏽
