Buying second hand does allow you buy things for a better price, but also acquiring things that are older, durable, and timeless. I buy most of my clothes used. I love finding unique pieces and having so many options.

[@kkatmom]

Rachel, it looks lovely. So warm and cozy. I love the “lime wash “ look that you did. I think pink and black are such a great combination. Your place is looking more like you with every makeover! Donna

[@lesliespradley8897]

Beautiful make over😊Tell your landlord how awesome they are. If there are any Landlords out there , letting a tenant create their home is not only the right thing to do but it is good business. The best tenants are the ones that treat your property as if it was there own and want to create a “home” If they care enough to make a place special they will also be the type of tenant that will take care of it and want to stay. I rented for years and experienced every type of Landlord 😳I now own two rentals. My contract stipulates that make overs are welcomed after 3 months. That way I can make sure they are going to be a reliable tenant . If things go well then they are welcome to personalize or do makeovers. If they want to do makeovers, I have an additional page that I add to their contract that basically says they can do anything they want as long as they undo it , if I want them to, when and if they move out . I have never had any issues and have actually left some of the makeovers in place. 😊

[@nefertitimontoya]

This is really smart

[@pjperdue1293]

The best part is when a tenant is moving out, shows the makeover to the landlord and asks, "Do you want me to put it back the way it was?" and the landlord realizes no, they can now charge a bit more rent because the DIYs were so well done.

[@lesliespradley8897]

@ absolutely

[@jacforswear18]

I was around for some of my previously landlords’ showings when we were moving out of our place and the things that WE added to the space were the things everyone loved. We added so much value to their home and made what was essentially a walk out basement cave (they painted the entry ways and windowless den DARK GREY before we moved it) into a bright and welcoming home. It was really nice being able to actually live on our space for 3 years and not have to live with the slap-dash “this is what we have in the garage” choices they made when renovating 😂

[@Pinkfaith]

Cats checking your plumbing 😂😂😂Love Love Love ❤️

[@JoanaMagify]

It turned out super cute! Love it! And even though I love plants anywhere and everywhere, bathrooms without natural light are not a good option for them, as they need it to live, basically. So you might want to keep that in mind before they die. ☺

[@beatricebraswell4677]

I love how you enhanced the pink walls with black elements. You left so much room for black artwork and such!

[@sarahnova52844]

Honestly this technique might even be easier than actual limewash!

[@Tweetie4018]

Rip those plants (very soon at least)! Poor plants with no natural light! Love the makeover though and hope they get a more sunny spot

I guess Rachael will have wo buy gallons of white paint to get it back to where it was when the lease will end. :-) I never understand why landlords ouldn't allow the tenants to make the place a home. It is all reversible.

[@laraangel6862]

​@@judy-angedv7590 purtroppo non tutti gli inquilini sono persone a modo... è capitato personalmente che un inquilino sia andato via non solo non pagando ma lasciando con i cambiamenti fatti senza riportare allo stato precedente ed il padrone di casa ha dovuto pagare una ditta per sistemare tutto perdendo parecchio denaro. Cosa per cui ha dovuto poi fare causa all'inquilino. Nom è divertente, credimi.

[@WBCRO]

This makeover blends visual loveliness with heightened functionality. The hand sewn thread loops on the shower curtain amaze me. Bravo on this great result 👏🏻 from a Boomer in the Maritimes!

[@p.q.4497]

Tips! The ö is more of an “er” sound with tongue in back in mouth. å is more of an O- it’s almost two syllables, starts with o sound with mouth in tight circle that then opens a bit. Ends up sounding like oh-wa. ä is more of an aah sound, like how Americans pronounce some a’s. Bonus- sj is pronounced more like “who” and rs is commonly pronounced as “sh” 😅 ikea names are most likely a random combination of words that don’t really make total sense or names of towns etc. I think the naming convention (used to be at least) bigger furniture items are named after cities and smaller items are like the random word descriptions.

[@bratatouille]

Each furniture category at ikea has its own theme for names, though they somewhat overlap and don't follow them 100% of the time. For example beds, wardrobes and hall furniture are always named after Norwegian place names, rugs are Danish place names, bookcases are either professions or Scandinavian boys names, but bowls, vases, candles and candle holders can be named after Swedish place names, adjectives, spices, herbs, fruits or berries. I guess they switch up small decor items more often so they probably ran out of possible names at some point and kept expanding the name topics 😅

[@habi-tahti]

These are my favorite videos out of all the sorry girls current shows! This is exactly what I would do if I lived alone. My husband and I have completely opposite tastes. 😂

[@Esaroe]

Looks so nice and really cute!! But girl, those plants are gonna die in no time 😅 edit haha: an aloe needs so much light. Just buy fakes. But again, so nice haha 😁❤️

[@wild_gardener]

Came to the comments to see if someone else would say something. It’s actually an aloe plant, but those need a lot of light too!

[@Leggup]

I assume those are in there just for staging. Otherwise, grow light could be added with a timer to mimic daylight hours, maybe?

[@dietblond]

Love the pink, it reminds me of old makeup (in a good way lol). I can smell grandma’s blush when I look at it 🌸

[@woin9361]

7:18 I’ve had a few moments like this with the older rural people who loved to the city where I live…Thisis where I get into my secondhand proselytizing 😂 “it’s cheaper! It’s unique and not just something everyone has from IKEA! The items are more beautiful and have history! The items are better quality! I don’t feel guilty being a maximalist this way!” I’ve converted a few people and girl I’m SO proud of it 😂

[@julieforan3559]

The kitties are especially cute in this video! That paint technique turned out really well. A shower curtain hack I’ve found is 1) buy an inexpensive white shower curtain (which will be correct size and have holes for hooks in the right places) and then buy 4 yards of any fabric that can thrive in a humid space (sturdy cotton works great). Cut the fabric in half so you have 2 pieces of 3 x 6 cloth. Then pin the decorative fabric to try shower curtain so the design is on the inside and you have a 6 x 6 piece of fabric. Then sew the decorative fabric to the shower curtain like you’re making a giant pillow case. Flip the “pillow case” right side out and voila - a custom shower curtain.

[@lifelover1]

Oh that's so good in multiple ways!! Fits your personality and now has so much more storage and functionality!!

[@quokkakola1722]

I saw a (relatively) rent friendly cat hack featuring a cat tree in front of a framed rug, and a shelf with a hole in it. You would just need to secure the framed rug (or carpet remnant), and the shelf to the wall. Then your regular cat tree is placed in front of it, with the shelf hole over the top level of the cat tree, and the shelf is at a height the cats can access from the top level of the cat tree. They just scale the rug, pop in and out of the shelf, and run around freely. Doubles as a sound barrier, and a makes a great virtual meeting background! 😂

[@audreyschmitt200]

A cute, fun detail to add to the inside of the pink cabinet would be to use black electrical/craft tape to give the appearance of black and white vertical stripes to tie in with the towels. Just an added bit of personality and that would be seen through the fluted glass. But all and all this was an amazing bathroom transformation!

Crazy transformations. Im from america and my experience is none of this is renter friendly. We werent allowed to paint, let alone put any nails in the wall so this is mind blowing! Is canada super relaxed or because they know your job/talent etc.?😮

[@chezsylvie007]

I rent too here in Canada and I painted my entire living room dining room long hallway, 3 wide door closet plus I installed shelves in the closets above the existing hanging rod plus I added other shelves in strategic places....this is my home so it is apartment dweller descretion... if you do professional work they are usually ok and we have an annual apt inspection so they can catch anything they dislike

Rachel!!!!! You killed this makeover, the pink, black and white, and silver details all pair so well together.

[@moniquemyburgh4825]

Love your cats,they are so cute! I also did a lime wash affect on our fireplace with normal paint. A tip that I can give and what I did,use the exact same color but different finishes. Like I used a satin finish and a matt finish and did one coat satin finish and then one coat matt finish. that gives so much movement and texture and you can add and do more layers as you want. With black or white paint it's difficult to see the texture of effect,so doing different finnishes gives you that look 😊

[@riggy559]

The best makeovers on KZbin hands down!!

[@prettylilcow]

Love these makeovers but calling it "renter friendly" always makes me giggle because I cannot imagine any of my landlords (past or present) letting me do these things

[@crystalsylvia6920]

Ask for forgiveness later lol that's how.

[@bratatouille]

Yeah I think it's probably easier to get permission to do things like this when you're an interior design/diy content creator, so the landlord can both see that you have experience with home diys, can watch the videos to see the results, and can trust you to have the ability/money to reverse them if they want you to.

[@DenisePopp-xm3ds]

Love how well your bathroom turned out. I love these types of videos rather than when 4 of you sit and talk.

[@donnabacon4681]

I like both! These make overs shows each creativity, and the "On The Workshop Floor", let's us peek into their personalities and it becomes more all of us which are just friends hanging out and having fun!

[@vruth23]

that pink terracotta color also looks good with dark plum.

[@donnabacon4681]

Interesting choice! To me, red red in the plum would be a cooler blue red, where's the terra Cotta would be more a warmer red orange - would that work?

Rating the bathroom: 10/10🤩 it is unrecognizable from its' prior empty self! Regarding the blue on the walls however...I too have found from experiance that yellow and blue walls just have a very intensive vibe😂. Painted my bedroom in a more desaturated blue but still...after living with it for two years I got up one wekend and painted it soft white after which I sighed in relief😅. Yellow too..love it but for me it was just so...idk...introoding, piercing, not for every day.
