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 turning the tiniest studio apartment I've ever made over into a dark & moody industrial style space with tons of personality. Austen has lived in this apartment for five years but it hasn't ever felt like home - until today! I add in a custom DIY air conditioner unit cover and a 3-leaf Murphy table to give him lots of space to work, craft and dine.

[@sailorallie9046]

I think this is my favourite makeover you’ve done. You really made such a tiny space look much bigger and the drop leaf table is so great because of him working from home and being a sewer. I know the intention is that each leaf is a zone but I just think it’s great that he can make the table longer as needed since for sewing that’ll be so useful! So happy he kept the chest, it’s beautiful on its own but also works perfectly in the space. The dark wall at the back actually makes the space look bigger I found because it made that wall look like it was further back that it is. Even if he had been a less minimalist person with more clothing I think the layout chosen was great - could have added shelving above the drop leaf table or something. Great job!

[@sandieedward8214]

Like I said that shelving in white could have been applied to wall and it would've been another great storage for sewing 🪡🧵 & art 🎨 🪛✂️🔗📌✂️📍🖍️🖌️📏📐Needs: if shelf is still around could fix it similar to hallway shoe storage above on wall space as peg boards and all those things need storage... But the comments being made could always result in upgrades to one initial marvelous creative Space 🤔 It's a Fantastic Designers Choice💕🥰💯% 💥🎯

[@ang_131]

I agree. That dark end wall does make it look bigger somehow!

[@mariogrenadine]

I'd have added shelved behind the folded tables ... they'd be hidden when the tables are down and serve as nice storage space which could be styled nicely too. Some shelves above also wouldn't hurt but that's just cause I'm personally definitely not a minimalist :D

[@artist1q1psalmsjc32]

Love this! One warning though, I have the same bed in a small bedroom and I used to constantly hit my legs on the handles of its drawers. I eventually replaced them with leather pulls and that solved the problem beautifully. However the bed broke a week ago, so it lasted about 6 years. Just in case anyone else wants to buy this same bed. Also, it’s awful to put together on your own so get a trusted buddy to help 😛

I can't believe I'm going to say this. But, this is one of the few makeovers I've ever seen that really impressed me. The colors matched and were not overwhelming. Makeovers are usually the opposite done by people that have no idea on how to do a proper makeover that end up looking too childish, too bland or too over the top. Alexandra, congrats on your very modern taste in this makeover. The only other person that has ever impressed me in makeovers is the Canadian Candice Olsen. That woman is a beast when it comes to an incredible eye and imagination in makeovers on her TV show. I'm definitely checking out your other videos. Keep it up Alexandra.

This makeover is amazing! I love when y'all do something with a moodier vibe. The dark grey/bronze/white combo here is perfect, and it's cozy without feeling like a cave. I have a small apartment as well (not quite this small, but close), and while I can't drill a whole lot into my walls, this still gives me some ideas to maximize the space. Keep rocking it, Team AG!

Do you know what you just did? Magic! That's what you did! It looks so unbelievably good, especially compared to the before

[@lourdessantiago3291]

This makeover is a classic . Everything was so beautiful and amazing, what a difference. Great job.

Wow! I am not really a fan of the industrial look but that makeover is gorgeous! Also love the table Graham made as well as the air conditioner cover. Also, encapsulate was an excellent word choice. Well done!

[@pennythejet]

Yes, "encapsulates" is a word which you used correctly! 😄

[@cristineramos6051]

I agree with others who commented about this space being your best makeover. I eagerly watched to see your magic. You did not disappoint!!! The table was brilliant and nasty air conditioner to beautiful side table-genius! Definitely using that idea. I can’t get over how spacious and stylish it looks. Well done!!! What a team.

The ac cover is genius. You have have taken unique design to a whole new level.

This is truly epic!!! Way to problem solve so many issues/concerns with style and sophistication.This goes straight to the top of my favorites of yours and Team AG!!! (Initially I was thinking a loft bed might allow for a "living room" area underneath.) But oh yeah, you can just put all the table leaves down for more room. Genius. I bet he's gonna just love his new space!! Go Team AG!!

[@amberkeever8565]

I am not a dark room person, to be honest, I almost passed by this. Holy COW! My absolute favorite transformation y’all have ever done!! Phenomenal work team AG 🤩

[@nicholalenehan]

Best makeover yet team AG! You've done an amazing job with such a small space. I'm bowled over. I gasped at the reveal 😊

[@KoiAi_]

I am a woman and industrial has always been my personal style. It's just so sophisticated and classy. This is my favorite redesign and i love everything about it ♥️

[@briansieve]

Honestly, this room now blows me away. It's incredible

[@groovybeetlecar]

I love this! My only comment is: when using a sewing machine on a large piece of fabric, you let the fabric hang from the table behind the sewing machine which helps feed the fabric through. To sew against a wall means that larger fabric will bunch up between the sewing machine and wall. But other than that, I love this result.

[@samnelius]

I was thinking this too, but he can probably move the sewing machine to the end of one of the leaves and sit next to the wall instead of across from it if that makes sense? Then the fabric can run off the other side of the leaf freely

This might actually be my fav space you’ve ever done! So creative, so beautiful yet highly functional! OG Team AG subscriber and y’all have grown so much, and I’m obsessed ♥️👏😱
