Apartment Deck Makeover | Outdoor Oasis In The Trees | My Rental Reno S1 E6

[@aviajarehema7393]

Like the sectional, the dining chairs, and the storage bench. Very nice.

[@kruppy22ify]

Love the sofa. But just a suggestion, the small square cushion should go in the back corner of sofa and two larger cushions on the end.😁 beautiful job

[@856fatt]

Came here to see if I was the only one bothered by the cushion. lol.

[@Dr.Nagyonfaj]

Funny! You'd think she would know that :-)

[@RitaIronadi]

That's also what came to my mind when i saw the cushion position 😅

[@rtd1791]

I thought she did it on purpose so that the smaller cushion slid around less. Much of the time the smaller square cushions move around and then your backside ends up between the cushions. I thought she’d figured out a way to prevent that.

[@monkeydude285]

Oh my god thank you. My OCD was on fire watching that happen. Beautifully designed sofa!!

[@sathyasannitha9652]

Your designs are beautiful but as much as I love them I’d like to tell you there’s nothing budget friendly about them. But they are lovely.

[@lxrxinbow5413]

Sathya Sannitha I guess it depends on the budget 😂 😂

[@tysonb3568]

Did she claim be budget friendly??

[@tysonb3568]

People need to stop complaining about the budget aspects of her videos. Did she ever claim to be a low budget makeover queen?? I come here for inspiration and ideas if something is out of your budget just find something similar for cheaper. Use your brain. We read high fashion magazines for ideas and then shop at H&M and Zaras for what we can afford. We all know Target and Ikea has things for cheaper replicas of alot of designs out there. The budget comments are annoying.

[@saracobb8599]

Tyson B literally one minute into the video she claims that they are budget friendly

[@tysonb3568]

Sara Cobb Theres nothing from outer space here, you can translate anything she got from cheaper sources......we all know where to go for those items, Ikea etc This is a lower budget makeover for many people.

[@kaypluslee]

You should get a firepit that doubles as a table for by the couch. It would be beautiful and relaxing

[@cupstudios3788]

kaypluslee like a diy concrete base with the charcoal and fire canisters inside and then a removable table top? Or maybe a candle fire place? Depends on what you want to use it for I guess 😇

[@DIYDanie]

SO GOOD! I also can't wait to spend my entire summer out there 👌😘 DIY Coffee Table Solution? 🤷‍♀️

[@rtd1791]

Ha. I was thinking the exact same thing. When she said she didn’t have a solution yet, I thought, “Ask Dani.” I think something round with either storage or a fire bowl would be good. She might have restrictions on fires though. A coffee table made out of a cable spool would be cool too. That deck is the perfect spot for a cocktail party.

[@elliceohl9534]

I've just told her to charity shop hunt for the coffee table... you can help with this! :) I trust your expertise.

[@lorinmills9652]

Totally cute! I did my patio on a tight budget and created a coffee table from two milk crates that I painted and I found a piece of heavy beveled glass on Craigslist for $5. I sprayed it with frosted glass spray-I used three coats, letting it dry in between and it has lasted 3 years.

[@forest_green]

I can't wait for the tiny balcony! We've got a very narrow patio - about 20 feet long and 48 inches wide - needless to say it's an intimidating area to decorate!

[@kathykov1]

It's a good one.

[@lindsaysmith4633]

It's so cute. I'm very excited for the tiny balcony because I have two of them and am in need of ideas.

[@ReaNinja]

This is sooo dreamy and Pinteresting. LOVE it!! 😍❤

[@stillfangirlingtoday1468]

Oh my god, this rent house is cozy and cute! You got so lucky and you did amazing with everything!

[@readingsbycara]

💯 *LOVE* ♥️ the potted herb 🌿 wall, complete with scissors ✂️ 👌 😍 *super cooool* (and functional) touch. ❣ 🍹🥤 💛 🍁

[@readingsbycara]

Always inspiring. Alexandra! ❣ 😍 💖

[@StaceyFritch]

I bought 2 different metal nesting table sets ( 1 square, 1 round) and paired the 2 large ones together as nightstands in my bedroom, the 2 mid-size together as nightstands in my sons' room and the small ones as side tables in my living room. :) I just painted them to suit the room they're in. :)

[@sexymofosbby]

Just followed all the links in your description and the total cost of all of this is about $3000. Yikes! Looks great, but regular people can’t afford this!

[@al2590]

I thought the same thing, when I saw the price of the corner set I closed everything, even the video hahahahahaha

[@anisa8835]

Sometimes you have to just save up or buy things one at a time. If this was something people wanted to do, with the proper planning and enough time, it’s doable.

[@sexymofosbby]

Anisa Adkins it might be doable but personally I can’t imagine saving up for probably a year to blow it all on trendy outdoor furniture. $3,000 for me is three month’s rent.

[@annachristina6539]

Hi! For a coffee table idea... That planter would make a cute ottoman. 2 would be good. Just cut wood for the top, upholster it, and attach with hinges. Then use a cute tray, until you need more seating:)

[@fridayschild1566]

For my outdoor coffee table I bought a massive round middle-eastern tea tray (in a dull silver) and screwed it to a white, round plastic stool from ikea (the stool didn’t show). Put weather-proof clear varnish on the tray and it has lasted really well outdoors. It looks beautiful and quite boho.

[@eleniperentes8822]

Crazy in love, obsessed with the sofa! I watch your videos because you have a very loving ❤️ disposition. It comes through in every video. Your beautiful hand jestures and expressions make the difference. Beautiful 🌷 You will succeed in everything you do. 🏆 🥇

[@shaishannahbennett8055]

Gorgeous, I love everything

[@Premchik]

My God! How do you manage to stay so positive with all the hateful comments that people live under your videos?!! You are amazing! I love your makeovers.

[@Olduvai9]

Alexandra: "Let's design on a budget!" Also Alexandra: "Here's a $1200 outdoor sofa I didn't pay for!"

[@lauriemc8871]

The herb garden is a great idea. I don’t have a fence , but I do have an old wood ladder to use. Thank you so much for the idea.

[@lisamclawrence2583]

I have looked at a lot of patio designs,but yours is so simple but yet so inviting. This is the best I’ve seen. That is truly a home run. I especially love the pink dining chairs. So sweet. Keep up the good work.

[@ruththomas6361]

Well since I have herbs on my back covered deck (rains here a lot) then of course I approve of you doing that, too. ❤ Some will live forever if you take them in during the winter. My rosemary is six or seven years old. An the smell is marvelous!

[@maitefdez.urquiza7120]

What a gorgeous outdoor space!! I would like to see more videos about balcony decoration un your channel. You rule!! ❤❤❤

[@feliciatang995]

I love your cushion. Very outstanding when match with your black sofa.

[@gerrywilson6579]

Beautiful Patio and great job!!! My one tip would be the rose will probably not do well there. They need full sun. A better choice would be a big pot with ornamental grasses to block the view! 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

[@Sarah-ci2ks]

Whether the furniture is gifted, she worked for it because she is showing everything and where they're from so she's marketing their furniture so what does that got to do with her great ideas on putting things together. Some people if u don't have anything nice to say dont say anything at all. Because i know alexandra thru her work, what you do don't know u. Alexandra keep up you gorgeous work not everyone has the mind to do what you do.❤😂

[@oliviaeverhart4843]

I love the way you present your videos. So many of the ones I have tried to watch keep the camera on themselves about 85% of the time. I didn't click on the video to see their faces constantly. I clicked to see what they were attempting to accomplish with their space. I usually just click off. You are a breath of fresh air. You also have a lovely vision for the job you are doing. Keep up the great work.

[@AutumnHachey]

Omg the scissors and the herb idea *cries*. Adorable!!

[@feliciatang995]

I've finished watching all your videos. Your makeovers are worth watching over and over again. Trumb up

[@maryholstein2089]

I hope you planted climbing roses; they will make a gorgeous privacy screen. They like to have wet feet, so water them during dry spells. I assume they’re in full sun; they need at least six hours of sun and won’t do well in shade. Deadhead spent flowers by cutting back to a point on the stem with five to seven leaves. Prune them hard early in the year; I usually do it around Super Bowl Sunday. Watch a video about how to prune- it’s not hard but an important step. Then when they put out about 6” of new growth, apply a good organic fertilizer. Roses are easier to grow than you’d think, considering how beautiful they are. You’ll find it very rewarding. Enjoy!

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

So totally in love with your outdoor space, loving the furniture and the accent pieces, yes I would totally do the herb garden that is a neat touch, and the planter with roses in it is someday going to be so beautiful, roses are not hard to care for, after they stop blooming in the fall you cut it down to 6 or 8 inches so when spring comes it will bush out and bud up and give you beautiful roses, water maybe once a week unless it gets really dry, but not soggy wet. Pruning your roses will keep your bush full and compact, and the trellis behind them will keep them from falling over. You have a really neat top floor outdoor space and it's a nice size. Thanks for a really fun video.

[@TandSandE]

I recently splurged on a Patio Swing and I couldn't be more in love with it! I read out there almost everyday now since the weather's been nice.

[@debbievidal9536]

Patio swings are to die for.....I've just given my old one a makeover 😁

[@sophievandergriend6391]

Well done Alexandra! Love the herb garden idea...I’m considering it for our back deck. Also i hope the roses work out but if they don’t ..try honeysuckle , it is a great climbing plant and it grows quickly with fragrant flowers and is very hardy.

[@marie-evecarriere7407]

I watched this literally 3 times in a row lol, I'm in awe and in love with it all, especially that wall herb garden with the dining table in front of it and the string lights!! Totally sets a mood 🧡👌 Obsessed with the "snip your own herbs" concept, so special 🧡. Excellent job 👌👌👌

[@brendaleick]

Love the herb garden. My next DYI project. I think you'd like my feeding trough planter. It's easy to grow lettuce, spring onions, spinach ect. In it. The barrel chair and table chairs come straight out of my grandma's patio, in the sixties, but updated/refreshed for now. Really enjoyed this one. Thanks

[@tiyasarajak9887]

I have herb garden in my home . And just water your rose shrubs and they will grow beautifully . Give some fertilizer occasionally and treat it from insects properly.

[@ALuckyLassIAm]

Roses will grow like crazy on their own. All you have to do is trim them. Eventually if you dont prune them they will get really big and die but the plant itself won't die. It will send up new fresh shoots and you will have to trim away the dead branches....hopefully it doesnt get to that point though. Just trim them to go into the direction you want, pin them up if you need to. Theyre very hearty. Good luck :)

[@kennethfrancisco279]

Pee makes roses grow and vivid in color. No Joke!

[@Z4mbrer0]

all fun and games and ‘budget’ costs but you haven’t paid for 90% of the things, they’ve been gifted :/

[@dalcloud8873]

Can relate. Is frustrating sometimes if we believe we are garbage because we can't afford something. Plus spiraling deeper in those toxic thoughts is no picnic on the patio either. Remembering that we are where we are and doing what we can with what we have is important to maintaining safety and sanity.

[@kelseyheyd2393]

This deck is the dreeeeeeeam I can't stop staring at it. beautiful job

[@djUpRoar]

FYI that smaller cushion on your sectional is for the middle of the sectional, that’s the way they’re designed. But great job! Looks awesome 👏

[@LindsayNRandi]

That herb garden is amazing!

[@symonroe8095]

Can you do a budget backyard? I’m currently doing mine and ummm article is beautiful but not the most budget friendly.

[@debbievidal9536]

Hi. I'm making over my back deck area and everything I've used so far is from the thrift stores., furniture, cushions etc. I've just either painted or varnished. It's amazing what you can do on virtually nil money 😁

[@symonroe8095]

Debbie Vidal I’m trying but it’s hard to find quality pieces sometimes. And my goodwill has become a regular consignment shop now so it’s barely affordable either!

[@debbievidal9536]

@@symonroe8095 don't give up. When you least expect it pieces will be available

[@symonroe8095]

Taylor I normally don’t feed trolls but no have a small patron and a large backyard and I have a budget of about $350-450 but that sectional alone cost over a grand. I can afford new/used but I’m having a hard time finding reliable cute places and I live in an area where most places are expensive every second hand so ordering online is probably my best/only option.

[@symonroe8095]

Taylor also I don’t know why you felt the need to be condescending her content is built largely around budget reno when it isn’t sponsored. She’s sources affordable with a few splurges and I’ve furnished a few rooms in my house with her advice so I trust her word or affordable brands.

[@deb8416]

Garden stools are nice to use for sitting drinks on and they don't take up much space. You can paint them if you don't like the color.

[@courtneyburian453]

Make sure you regularly trim off any dead leaves and and old blossoms on your rose bush. If you keep them trimmed up properly, they will produce more flowers

[@kirstenrubberducky]

I'm obsessed with the lights! I love sitting out on summer evenings and this is the perfect space to do that.

[@green-rootin9922]

Hi Alexandra!, love your patio!. I live in Dublin and I have to work in my patio garden too. I've pick a lot of ideas, specially the herbs wall!. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Ireland

[@jemm2026]

Love EVERYTHING you do!!! I love the herb garden wall but on the east coast, we do not have fences on our decks...everything is much more open!

[@joannathrockmorton2179]

This came out beautiful!!!!

[@elliceohl9534]

Don't know if you're thinking cane style coffee table to go with the chair, but if so, I'd hit it the charity shops for the next month or so. I'm always seeing unique cane pieces of all sorts, and coffee tables and side tables are pretty common. (I live in the UK, but since fashions always cycle round, there's lots of cane furniture being recycled...I imagine it's not just here)

[@dchristina8049]

Absolutely love your makeovers! That outdoor sectional looks so cozy and the pink dining chairs are so fun! My mom built me a sofa and coffee table out of pallet wood for my patio, which I absolutely adore- so if you don't end up finding an outdoor coffee table you love, maybe a weekend DIY project could be a fun option :)

[@CecilieSHoejberg]

So beautiful! I'm planning a tiny herb garden for my balcony. It's a rental and I have a brick wall, so I didn't want to drill in it. Luckily there were already some nails and hooks in the wall that I can use. I'm really excited about creating it :) Love your space!

[@ThatGirlRiaaa]

Wow, your patio looks amazing! Definitely looking forward to doing mine! I have so many great ideas from this now. 😍

[@bethanclaireprice7835]

You're about to hit 100k subscribers, that's amazing! I love this whole deck. I haven't had the best luck with herb gardens in the past because they always seem to get fried in the sun or overwatered by the rain. But yours is super cute. I hope it thrives!

[@michelleguthrie7237]

Adorable, I love it! Definite yes to the herb garden! You really scored with that outdoor space! You might consider a round, cement table for the coffee table.

[@anshes5161]

Looks great! Soooo inspired to do that herb wall! 😊😊😊

[@hsepulveda1]

WOW! So pretty! I love everything you did!

[@jayhulrs1435]

Awesome!!! Another great privacy idea is to grow vines like morning glories up netting, or any homemade type if trellis. Also ornamental grasses in pots grow really tall and and beautiful in fall too

[@ameliaevink5484]

I LOVE this!!!! So beautiful!!! I'm excited for the small balcony video! We have the strangest triangular shaped balcony on our third floor apartment and I don't know what to do with it!!!

[@seirycolley6780]

What a cozy ambience you have set on your deck for the Summer! Love it! Enjoy it!

[@createwithconfidence8094]

When I made over my large patio, I opted for a beautiful curved, comfortable outdoor sofa and a propane gas and glass modern fireplace that also serves as a table. I kept my older wrought iron dining set, glider and lounge chair. It is such a beautiful place and it makes me happy. I hope you enjoy your beautiful outdoor space.

Hi Alexandra love your channel 😍... Tip for the roses: 1- Cut in sections of 3 and 6 ,2 - Get rid of anything dry 3- Most importantly banana peel ( does wonders for the growth). I usually blend them and apply 2 times a week 😊
