Those original tiles were BEAUTIFUL 😭

[@SheRoamsWild]

They were crappy peel and stick tiles from Home Depot 😅 pulling up and cracked everywhere

[@kateeckard3161]

@@SheRoamsWild I’m just talking about the design, I know you said they were falling apart but the design went with the space sooo well

[@davidgiffen6349]

Each update was functional and warm. Your space is infinitely cozier. Onions and potatoes in the same basket? No, no, no. Onions produce ethylene gas which causes the potatoes to sprout faster. Unless you want to plant them, store potatoes and onions separately.

[@larrymetten5794]

It would look lovely if you make a sink skirt using the orange curtain.

[@debbikmiec7703]

There are studs, but those types of walls are called plaster and lathe. Generally wall anchors work with them

[@hollygarlow3334]

You most likely have plaster and lathe, and there are indeed studs. You can’t use one of those types of stud finders, you have to use the super basic one with the magnet in it. Make pencil marks when your magnet hits a nail and take note of a pattern of vertical marks and there’s your stud!

[@Here_kitty_kitty1]

Love the orange curtains, fruit basket, bargain desk - you’ve a great eye.

[@Sonia-cq9cl]

Love that little corner by the window. Good job!

[@tomwall8403]

The apartment videos are nice. I especially like your choice of black floor tiles.👍

[@kimstark4449]

I love the apartment updates! Intentionally furnishing a new home, diy home projects and your adaptation to off-the-road living are all very interesting topics to me. I would also be interested in learning more about your new education pursuits.

[@margaretgosnell8281]

Life changes, so being adjustable makes your life a lot easier. Everything you did looks great. One day at a time is all we are responsible for.

[@user-dr2js7bv2i]

I like what you've done. The curtains are really cute with that nice pop of color. I like the floor also, much better. ❤

[@roamwiththewind]

Wow! You did such a great job on the kitchen makeover. That was fun to watch :-D

[@findkristinaoutside]

You truly are a joy to watch! ✨ Great job Alex

[@didevilliers1238]

Yes I really enjoy the "apartment diaries" so would love some more - it's all part of your life and so I personally am interested in seeing that part too. It's great to see how super you have made your kitchen with a small budget. 🦋

[@janee9533]

Command hooks are so renter friendly. I actually used them as curtain brackets and they’ve been up 7+ years. I also bought a coat rack off Amazon for coats and purses it helps to think outside the box.

[@Banagal]

I love your kitchen makeover, especially the butcher block. You've turned the apartment into a welcoming, cozy home.

[@shellyselvitelle8129]

I have those very same curtains except in white. 💕 I bought them on the cheap at World Mkt for my previous house and brought them to our new house to adorn the guest room windows.

[@susannee.colella6109]

I love what you did 💕 I have a suggestion you could put a curtain under the sink. 🥰

[@DanielLaPointe8864]

You seem to always have a project going, and can’t sit still. Keep showing that and I’ll keep watching. Love the functional and warming touches you've added.

[@widowswatch6610]

I was surprised when you put down a dark floor in a tiny area. Cute kitchen. I love the big window.

[@billierussell2344]

I love the curtains! I need that exact color.

[@mommygarcia9137]

Yes more apartment decor videos ! Your place looks super cute ! Love the decor looks like you have great decor style !

[@beckygarcia4416]

New subscriber.❤ love your ideas. I’m in a small old apartment so I’m going to use some of your tips. Especially the hanging fruit baskets.

[@maryboyer9659]

I truly enjoy following your adventures - whether they are fixing up the apartment to make it feel more like home or out on camping adventures. Great video!

[@ScreenJem]

I really enjoy the apartment videos! More please. 😊

[@Foodthoughtsandcrime]

That kitchen is so adorable and has tons of potential. I see floating shelves, cookbooks, and plants! 🪴

[@janisaschim2429]

I love your little, cozy apartment. I would love to see more apartment videos.

[@tynchinnamccall5240]

I like apartment updates and life updates you have a great personality.

[@ClairenParkerontheRoad]

Great video. Thanks Alex. Your place is really cute.

[@CorpseBride64]

Right off the bat, sounds like my wood floors, lol.

[@estherlongly6557]

I enjoyed your apartment re-make video! You have a great sense of taste and simple creativity! 🤩

[@anneleonas7813]

You’ve done a great job creating a lovely new home!

[@kitaoden703]

Alex I love your Decorations about Upgrade of your Kitchen I love the living space you created 💓 Hi Tara 🐾

[@WallisMoore]

I wonder if there's wire in the plaster? I live in Denver too, and around the time Denver was built, they put wire up and then slapped plaster on it. I really love your place and I'm glad that I found you recently. All hail the algorithm gods. Love your videos.

[@sherrykassel1600]

I enjoy the home videos and the travel videos.

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great job installing your tile

[@MalikUmrani]

Great Work Alex 👍

[@cdavham]

I am inspired to try my hand at these and similar ways to add function and joy to my own space. Thanks for your examples. 😃

[@beatriceserrano7208]

Great job in utilizing what u had on hand.

[@judyburgess4522]

You always need to use wall plugs with a plaster wall. I always hammer in a nail to see if there is a stud but if not, just a plug and screw works well.

[@carriecobb8]

Yes to apartment / on the road / general life stuff! Great job, the landlord should pay you when you move out for improving the floor and adding counter space! Just a note of warning, be careful with the toaster being underneath such low cabinets. Assuming it works in the same way that UK ones do, a lot of heat comes out of the top (altho it looked like it might have side vents so maybe it’s ok?!).

[@kompostimuija]

I love all the reno/project videos for van/car or apartment. Your kitchen area looks so warm and no floor regrets 👍😃 Plants brings nature inside ☀️ Enjoy

[@BigV96220]

Hey 👋 kiddo you're so cool watching you making your surroundings wherever, whatever to make your life the way you want it to be camping/car camping ,unit/house ,you know what you want and your doing it ,Congratulations,I for one will keep following you bc you're not afraid to live your life ,ya live an ya learn 😉 GODBLESS

[@carolsweet8592]

Love the update looks amazing

[@Eric-i2g8u]

Great job Alex 💔🎊😇🎊💯🎈🎂

[@Makeuploveculture]

I think it looks so cute!

[@loriurban1070]

So cozy, well done!!

[@alvinmousseau1100]

Great video

[@gracerodriguez6869]

Great job, would love to see the rest of the apartment builts

[@vanessaotey4633]

Good job!

[@katlynncok2]

I was going to ask about the coffee pot ... Your curtains are the bomb . Shelves ,,,everything looks great ! Awesome job ❤

[@ladikmk]

That looks lovely Alexandria! Love the colors and the improved functionality of the kitchen area. When it's a small kitchen, you have to make every cubic and square inch count - well done. I have plaster walls in my whole house, and have that exact same stud finder but when I use mine it actually shows me the edges of each stud without fail, and also where wiring is. In older buildings the studs are often 14" on center, or even 12" which is what mine is - lots of good lumber in my house. :) Thanks for sharing. Stay well.

[@kathy1138]

Great job!

[@virgosun1991]

I loved this video! Brought me so much joy :) would love to even watch you organize your cabinets lol. Thanks for sharing

[@olbird7647]

Ooh, i'm wondering if the stud finder was picking up water pipes and wiring? Always best to know where they are!😬 Nice additions, well done. Always happy to see appt updates.

[@RobertWells-o7p]

Hay there that’s looking good and you are looking great and how is your dog doing LOVE YOU 🌹🌹❤

[@bonriver9420]

You did a great job on all of the updates. Your kitchen looks very cozy and organized. I love these makeover videos and apartment updates.

[@SheRoamsWild]

Thank you! It was so fun to make, and a different creative challenge than my "normal" videos :)

[@johnmclean7852]

For stud finding try small magnets to find the nails or screws.

[@jasonjones5213]

Great job Alex, Glad you did the tiles.Those other ones would have given me a headache.I never could figure out a stud finder.

[@glindacochran3081]

Looks great! I like to see what you are doing to your apartment. Just do you… and we will enjoy watching. Have a great week!

[@pamelao9803]

Love what you did in the kitchen! It seemed effortless for you- it would have taken me forever to decorate and it wouldn’t have been as nice - it is definitely not my thing. Love the little desk nook - it seems so cozy. Maybe you could show some of the town near you- any cute shops? Thanks for sharing.

[@user-ww9so8pe6n]

I love apartment updates 😊

[@tammycruz8189]

That floor looks so amazing and so much better then before. Everything is turning out Beautiful. Keep Up the great work . Mucho Love Always ❤️ ❤

[@tman2237]

Great job! Keep it up 😊

[@SheRoamsWild]

Thank you! Will do!

[@aaronriedel5372]

Good video!

[@candyjacobus5746]

Looks awesome!!!!

[@blk123]

I love what you have done. Enjoyed this video. It was a change from the usual.

[@cindydean1840]

I loved this video❤

[@TeriDuncan8049]

Love the redo ❣️ Your such a talented young lady that no matter what you're doing it's interesting ❣️

[@laurie4683]

It's your life show us. I love seeing everything! 😊

[@SheRoamsWild]

I'm so glad!

[@yoelroque3950]

Great job on ur creation 👍👍

[@cynthiablodgett1882]

I just love your videos. No matter what the subject.

[@l.g.4451]

Love your changes. I think one needs to calculate what a storage space will cost times the number of months you want to store your items. It may be more cost effective to start over then to pay hundreds, or thousands of dollars to store thrifted items (even small appliances) over many months. If items are not sentimental you can always buy again.

[@SheRoamsWild]

I hear ya! I have always found storage large enough to hold my things for under $40 a month, which for the value of some of my items is more than worth it :)

[@debbieambrose7113]

Read the instructions on your stud finder! Mine works on plaster walls with highly textured walls. Put finder on wall, Push button till red light and sounds stops then move finder along the wall and it will tell you where the stud is. If you push button and start moving it will tell you the entire wall is a stud.

[@SheRoamsWild]

Ooh thank you!!

[@estherlongly6557]

BTW! Love your new appliances!

[@melapost9207]

I love all your videos!!!

[@janebrommet7942]

How is Tara doing?? Your kitchen looks great🎉

[@zoef007]

With lath and plaster walls, you need to get an old school magnetic stud finder. It will pick up where the lath is nailed into the studs. 🙂

[@michelleellis8201]

It looks very nice! Great ideas!

[@Notpublished]

So cute! I love those hanging baskets, where did you find them? Thks

[@starrgriffin7360]

Please tell me about your coffee maker. Does it use any grind? How long does it take to make? Never seen this before. Thanks

[@karihegg8961]

I have never seen that brand of coffee pot before, I am in need of one do you really like it and where did you get it?

[@earlwoolery1424]

Did stud finder come with directions. Ones I had you needed to move it slowly to find studs. Never used over plaster only drywalll and they worked nicely. Hope your lease is more friendly than one I had in Fort Collins. Any holes made to hang items or for displays would incur a charge even if filled also resuulting in a repainting charge.

[@LITSGARAGE]

I have the same stud finder and mine is so aggravating too

[@sharronschornagel2714]

New subscriber.

[@LITSGARAGE]

Hey there beautiful how are you? You do so good at your camera angles and music and you look so happy 🫶😍

[@ShamimJahuri]

Always so good to see you. I have missed you,my queen authentic,genuine.shamim 💞👀💗❗💋🤰🤱👫🎎👥🫂💙🤝🧜‍♀️

[@TheNerreece]

Hi. Where’s the kitchen tiles from? Link please?

[@frankmetz867]

If you don’t think there’s studs use toggle bolts

[@LauraMichellez]

Please do a vlog about the realities of living in Denver.

[@matselik]

May be I lost/miss it but what about your job interview?, that you speak about a long time ago... was it successful...?

[@greghartwell5018]

Nice place and hi beautiful

[@TaraK172]

Where did you buy your money tree? I want to get one 😊 thanks

[@SheRoamsWild]

Home Depot, actually!

[@TaraK172]

Thank you 😊

[@tracyp3655]

An option for decorating would be to put a puzzle together, glue it and frame it.

[@Frenchy5117]

Behind most plaster walls are usually wood similar to lattice, could be possible why your finding alot of wood

[@MartinWilsey]

If you invert the L brackets, they are hidden better.

[@SheRoamsWild]

I hear you! I just wanted to make sure that they had the necessary support to not rip out of the walls, haha, but maybe it was overkill :)

[@dawnsnyder216]

There is an app that you can use on cell phone that you can see studs

[@SheRoamsWild]

Oooh cool! Thank you!

[@maxi20041]

What ever happened to living in a truck?

[@susansharp112]

WHAT ABOUT YOUR YEARS LEASE ARE YOU NOT GOING TO HONOR IT YOU JUST GOT THERE

[@Clleonie]

Do you have to ?

[@johnmclean7852]

That’s way too many shots to set up before coffee.
