Beautiful Apartment You And Your Team Done A Great Job

[@stumblin_along]

Alexandra is one of my favorite KZbin interior designers! It's so good to see her here!

[@suzisaintjames]

7:16 in Japan, traditionally, you sit on a small wooden or plastic stool to wash yourself (instead of standing)... that would totally work in this bathtub if you really wanted a shower and didn't want to fill the tub for a soak. I would add a clear shower curtain (to keep it visually open) and a tension rod in case there's mounting issues (I can't see if the mirror is in the way of permanently mounting a rod... But a tension rod could go on the mirror without damage.) 💖🌞🌵😷

[@sundancita]

So cool to see Alexandra Gater, who I have been following for over a year, on your channel! I love her ideas and creativity and how she transforms small spaces with budget and aesthetics in mind.

[@tinekejoldersma]

Alexandra Gater is a champ in designing small studio spaces, happy you got her on here 💕

[@marilynsitaker4198]

Alexandria Gater is my hero b/c she creates spaces that are functional, beautiful, efficient and tailored to the person who lives there.

[@lysan1445]

I also follow Alexandra Gater - and this is undoubtedly one of her best makeovers. Nice to see her here.

[@bleh329]

Ahh! I love Alexandra! She and her team are so amazing and helpful. There are so many people living temporarily in small spaces who don't think they have a way to make them comfortable. But Alexandra has so many videos showing how easy it can be 😊

[@jazzysspaces5634]

Alexandra, my girl 💕

[@ashleysix2523]

Love that mirror...I never would've guessed that it was a dupe if she hadn't said so...

[@mariastathopoulos744]

This is the best makeover l've seen on Alexandra's channel. Simple, stylish and elegant. Kudos for the desk-hutch idea.

[@nylapolk6625]

Alexandria is an incredible designer. I love her designing style, which is affordable and doable for all.

[@mayramancilla9959]

OMG, I'm obsessed with the wall desk!

[@cham9984]

At first when the video started and I saw Alexandra I thought I had hit the wrong thing. I’ve been following Alexandra for years- so excited to see her featured!! ♥️

[@werbinich]

lol same. I was like, I didn't open an Gater video did i?

[@katietatey]

Me too! Haha

[@katietatey]

When I clicked on this video and I saw Alexandra I thought I must have clicked the wrong tab at first. So glad you could collab with her! :)

[@kevinwells4986]

You are incredible at this. I have looked at this channel now for a long time, and love doing so. But your approach, because of the way you explain it, is so simple and yet so elegant! It was fun hearing how you went about this makeover as well. Getting rid of the big desk was a highlight, especially since you maximized two spaces by eliminating one. I wish you the best Alexandra.

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Alexandra did such a beautiful job. Love everything. Thanks Matt and Danielle for sharing.❤

[@ChazEvansdale]

I started the video full screen.. saw AG and I'm like that's AG, wait which channel am I on? Oh, Exploring Alternatives has AG, YAS this awesome!

[@shaunhall6834]

She is Doctor Who making spaces bigger than they really are!

[@margaritadiaz3779]

Young lady, you are always able to outdo yourself! I'm so happy to watch you pour your heart into your designs and turn people's homes into their comfortable places.

[@ghomerhust]

great job on making it feel airey and cozy. it's a nice space for a single person or a couple and obviously the kitty!

[@alicesullivan1790]

Mat and Danielle, what a really nice thing for y'all to do, to share a special segment by Alexandra Gator on organizing and decorating small spaces - most in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Alexandra and her team are a force of nature, and they work their magic all over. CONGRATULATIONS ON EXPLORING ALTERNATIVES HAVING 2.18 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS. Your hard work, attention to detail, obvious compassion, filming, interviewing, editing ... experience and skills deserves recognition. You are both top notch human beings. nomads 'channels

[@ExploringAlternatives]

Thanks so much Alice!! We can't believe that we're still making videos after all these years and it's definitely thanks to the ongoing support of viewers like you :) :)

[@sharrr9246]

A lovely space. I picked up 5 ideas that I plan to use!! Thank you...you are practical and extremely creative!

[@rachellemme]

That apartment and the makeover are just 😍😍😍 (as is the kitty)

[@wendylind4933]

Very impressed with this designer. Have watched her videos and happy to see she is Canadian.

[@jemma50]

Love Alexandra! Thanks for spotlighting her amazing work. ♥

[@MakeMeThinkAgain]

Alexandra is a decorating artist.

[@leemsamantha]

love this apartment soooo much

[@cyrilmoussoki3193]

Très bel appartement, wow.

[@Frchgrl]

So glad to see Alexandra featured. You should all follow her she’s amazing

[@e2dalindz]

I love how I clicked on this thinking the thumbnail looked very Alexandra Gater. Love this!

[@tynaedwards8452]

The living room area is so smart because the large rug anchors all the furniture to make it seem like a separate room. There are so many features I like. The desk, the mirror, the headboard and night tables all nice. I also like that it has just enough color to make it feel warm and cozy.

[@jupiter0jupiter]

Beautifully done! They had a good space to work with, it's a gorgeous apartment so much natural light 😍 the decor choices really elevated everything, it looks so tasteful and welcoming

[@PugLovah]

Wow...I love Alexandra, her design, and no-nonsense approach. A+!

[@ritabroils6190]

Cute and functional setup and usage of corners!

[@shanthipatrick1987]

Very beautiful and cozy

[@owadasaoluwafemi8819]

She's just like me... Is a gift and all this similar arranging your clothes and alson inside ur bad when travelling

[@Simphome]

foldable table is the best choice, I think. good.

[@1Lightdancer]

What a charming apartment - lovely job!

[@terri241]

Alexandra's ability to style even the smallest spaces is impressive. But in the case of this "living in the eaves apartment", she has excelled herself. I must vacate a beautiful flat overlooking the sea. I have lived in this 50 sqm space for 9 years and hate to leave. I am moving into a truly Lilliputian flat of barely 27 sq m in the same "complex". This video of what Alexandra did in the tiny Toronto flat has given me hope that. At age 77, I might just be able to make the transition without too many tears. Thank you for the "inspo", Alexandra and "Team AG"!

[@smallhouseinthemeadow6131]

I adore Alexandra and her channel.She has an amazing team and they always create beautiful spaces.

[@sandracornejo3778]

I see this makeover for second time and I noticed that they cut the headboard to fit perfectly in the baseboard, that’s call perfection ❤

[@cindygray4533]

This was one of my favorite make overs🎊🎉

[@janettemasiello5560]

Functional cozy and beautiful ! it's just lovely ❣️

[@shalinisen]

love Alexandra n her team ❤️❤️❤️

[@solidstate9451]

I'd totally switch out the bed, rotate it and put a white curtain in front so the bed isn't the center of the attention. The workspace on the other hand is amazing.

[@MakingYourOwnWay]

Small space interior design is my favorite and Alexandra did a wonderful job in this space. Especially since there is a little old world charm. It’s videos like these that served as inspiration when I was renovating then designing the layout for four apartments I own. I’m just starting to share the journey of buying and renovating an apartment building built in 1794 on my channel😊

[@mowattlavern62]

I love this makeover, I remember this video

[@MrsElinMaria]

Super cute & so functional! ❤

[@kimprice1864]

This is my favorite studio you've designed /decorated. Love it.

[@skaterboy-cz9wj]

A nice and cozy home. Bravo. I personally would want/need more storage but like you said under the bed storage, under the window could have a buffet or dresser, a coat rack in place of the plant. I thnk it has nice bright vibe.

[@TruthQuest4700]

Subtle changes can make a difference in the function and aesthetics of a space. I especially like the hutch conversion into a desk because the pre-existing oak built-in adds such a character bonus as well as allows multiple uses of the open area around it.

[@chelseybrown7511]

So cute!!!! 👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰

[@chelseybrown7511]

That mirror ❤️❤️❤️☺️☺️👏👏

[@carilei]

I like how she explains everything, very helpful!

[@tawandatracee8327]

Very well done Young Lady & (Invisible 👻Team). A beautifully done, quaint, smaller, but not too small of a space, love the addition of being able to step outside balcony wise and excellent storage, all that an active community member (& her could want & need!). Also Alexandra, you were very well spoken. Carpe diem!

[@karellarsen939]

So very cute!! ❤️😊

[@barbm2375]

Alexandra is so talented. Beautiful space!!

[@craftingwithcharm7665]

[@When.andWhere]

That pull down counter/desk is so handy

[@xanabluehome]

So glad to find her here! I follow her from the beginning on Instagram and I thought she was so talented!

[@jaybee608]

Oh the mirror does it! 👍👍👌

[@sarahhansen762]

Love her. She’s amazing.

[@allegrosotto2126]

Thanks for this, lovely to see someone with passion and creativity!

[@62WILDCAT]

I love soaking in a bathtub to relax. I choose bathtub over shower anytime I can.

[@marianneosullivan7971]

Super soft & cute. Love it! Environment makes all the difference. ❤

[@GabbyRocio]

I love it!

[@lindad1195]

You did an amazing job! It’s so beautiful!

Living in a tiny apartment Oakville area.. wish to have a make over like this. Love the make over

[@jencopeland8449]

I love Alexandra!

[@tWz4462]

Very cute.

[@JJoy-bk8yr]

I'm subscrined to Alexandra Gater already. She's great! It occurs to me that this city apartment could be a pattern for an A-frame cottage in the woods :)

[@lindabelardes9114]

Such beautiful ideas, relaxing and peaceful.

[@taniaalencar9228]

Gorgeous and relaxing.

[@jackiem1093]

Love this❤️ I too love decorating, designing, organizing small spaces👍🏼😁

[@tmckmusic8584]

Super cute! Unfortunately, that cat is going to to tear apart that cane headboard! Meow meow! 😂🐱

[@gottathinkupanewone]

As soon as I saw the polka dot skirt, I said, "Hey, that's Alexandra! Oooooooo, and I recognize that desk!"

[@peggyowen3386]

I love your style ❤

[@Erintii]

Amazing space. Studios are really tricky to arrange. I can really like even if I like space and prefer 1 or 2 bdr.

[@linda-loupoole4493]

Lovely

[@TRAVEL.WITH.JAFARI]

Hello my friend 🙋🙋🇨🇭 Beautiful place Big like 👍❤👍

[@LaLadybug2011]

The apartment looks so beautiful! The only thing I wouldn't care for is my bed jutting out into the room. I would have kept it turned the other way so that it fit with head of bed on the longest "short" end of wall. Then, using hospital track curtain Rod that is mounted to the ceiling, I would install curtains made of scrim (lightweight) with enough fabric so only light would get through the fabric. The bed could then be hidden away until you were ready for bed. It would help make the apartment feel larger because you aren't looking at your entire apartment when you walk in the door. It's just a little illusion, but a necessity for some of us. That mirror is stunning and has inspired me to make one. Great job with this cozy apartment.

[@bleh329]

I am completely fine with the placement of the bed. Thank you.

[@amysill3815]

I agree 100% to keep bed orientation the same and add a curtain.

[@jaredmayo5820]

My gf would like this,it's her style

[@adbc8737]

Really awesome space! 🌀💚🌀

[@tamiwithani]

i love LOVE her style!

[@lucianaparma9555]

Really cool...greetings from Uruguay 🇺🇾😵

[@amysill3815]

It’s very pretty but I prefer looking out a window when I work. Also would have been nice to keep the bed orientation the same as before and add add a gauzy curtain to provide privacy and make the bed seem like it’s in own little room.

[@reneedennis2011]

Nice!

[@Godsforever1]

it's lovely!😍

[@newearth4071]

EXCELLENT 👏🏻🙌🙏💝

[@troopicalsands]

Your kitty says they want a tiny rug under the bench for cozy naps

[@chongseitmooi2593]

Wonderful design .But y is the writing table s edges is not painted properly in white

[@bleh329]

Why should it be?

[@workinonit9562]

Very nice.
