Hey guys! I'm Alexandra Gater and I show you how to do rental-friendly upgrades and DIY projects on a budget. New videos every Saturday! Today I’m taking an apartment living room makeover and turning it into a dark and moody space filled with a DIY Ikea velvet green sofa and a Kallax unit up-cycle record player station!

I don’t like the matching sofa and wall. At least not for a sitting room. Everything being monochromatic on one side of the room while there’s varying color on the other side looks unbalanced. I would save it for a small space like a landing, entryway, or large walkway because it can be very pretty. But I’d want it to be the star of the show, if that makes sense.

I think it turned out wonderful. I like the new layout, the changes to the record shelf and the colors are lovely. One beef. I am sure the owner of the cat put the little grey cat tree in front of that window so that the cat can sit there and sleep in the sun and look at stuff outside. The hanging cat seat is neat but.....I feel sad that the cat lost their good window spot. That is all.

Agreed. I was very surprised to see the sheen. You can get the washability of semi gloss using eggshell finish so it's not needed for durability these days. The shine is very noticeable with the dark colour. I've nothing against the colour, but I am kind of shocked that they made such an elementary mistake after refurbishing so many spaces.

I think the inconsistencies in the lathe and plaster painted walls give the room a lot of character! Paired with the brick wall, in which every square inch is different to its neighbours, gives the room a particular, unspoken uniqueness. If it where a flat paint, it would have looked…well, flat! If you want it to look perfect, I suggest a full Reno with new drywall. But that’s so boring!

Gotta have a scratch post. What I did was take a board about 3' long, wrap it very tightly with sisal rope, and firmly attach it to a wall. The cats loved it as they enjoy standing to scratch. It must be firm and unmoving or they won't use it. Screw it into a stud.

Just watched the awkward triangle room w THEE GRAHAM ROOM DIVIDER (slatted wood) next to the kitchen sink. I’m 50 and come from a Mama and aunts that loved, taught, and trained me, over many years, how to have and execute a real love for creating spaces. Spaces that make us and our loved ones feel good. I was the intern for many years haha… always getting the “cutting in” assignment. You know..cutting in w paint on walls and trim bc I was great at it. 🙄 If only we’d had KZbin at our fingertips! We seriously curated our homes and loved every minute rummaging and digging thru a dusty old barn we would drive for hours to find. We also designed for other people. This room! It is Nashville/Austin worthy. Keep doin what ya doin Sweetpea!

I think this is one of the most gorgeous living rooms you've done! My cats full on shredded an antique velvet armchair in 12 hours... stuffing everywhere. What's worked really well for me are removable heavy woven fabric covers that I can replace when they get too torn up OR covering armchairs and sofas with shag microfiber throws. I suppose it mostly works because my cats always go for the tops or the backs of the seating and not the bottoms.

I thought her before was great, but you really elevated it several notches! Granted, it was great bones to work with - that brick wall and large room with large windows. I always thought Dark Academia was books, but here records fill in nicely. A scratching post/cat tower using a real tree branch would be a good addition to minimize couch scratching. Citrus spray on couch may help keep cat away. Love the color of paint. She can easily flip the room for a seasonal change. Probably one of my top five favorites of your designs. TFS

Love that you purchased her artwork rather than just asking her for it, AND the number of times you plugged her without being annoying about it.

If I were going to refresh THIS new room, I'd put gold leaf suspended acrylic legs on the kalax, gold leaf the inside of the lampshade and lean way more into plants.

Our beloved fur-babies did a number on our couch, too, despite regularly trimming their nails. I found citrus scent to be a bit of a deterrent, (lemon furniture polish, essential oil, orange peel rubbed on the fabric), and now we also keep cat scratchers (sprayed /sprinkled with catnip) in each of their favourite spaces.

Tip for matching your sofa (or anything) to your paint colour! You can actually bring your fabric swatch to the paint counter at the hardware store and they will use their special ray-gun looking machine (no idea what it's actually called lol) to get a perfect match and make you a custom paint! It costs nothing extra, at least at Home Depot. I wanted an accent wall that matched a favourite burnt orange throw pillow and the paint colour they mixed for me is an exact match. You can also bring in chips of old paint, solid materials, whatever.

Alexandra!!!! Painting the wall and the couch the same color is genius! And the gold chairs pair beautifully with the wall and couch. Bravo, girl!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Very, very good, especially the brick wall. Life outside of boho! One caveat is the end table that’s being used as a coffee table. It’s far too small for that purpose. Otherwise, look be the olive green colour. No, it’s not “moody”. It’s just nice. The whole place has a speakeasy vibe. Cheers!

This is a successful leap up from your usual Boho style. It is a different room and upcycling existing furniture is a sustainable plus.

I love your practical (e.g. living with pets) and hands on approach and the always esthetically pleasing result. I also love that you are showing the little mishaps and moments of uncertainty during the process, your way of problem solving and the backstage-chaos. This makes your makeovers so much more real, relatable and encouraging. 😀👍🤗

The new furniture placement is excellent. I also thought the remake of the shelving unit was well done and the album wall looks great. My only criticism is that I think an off white linen curtain would have been better.
