[@aliceputt3133]

Thank you for doing a small apartment. Most people have this problem. Love it.

[@MzShonuff123]

And now Lindsay is a design partner with a whole house 😊 I hope she has a copy of this episode for the memories

[@WBCRO]

Sarah added lots of style to that teeny studio apartment. I wish the episode had ended with seeing the superintendent’s reaction to the changes.

[@deesa3500]

Yeah, I was thinking she'd get a break on the rent or something

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

The more I see, the more I want Sarah to have a go at my place. Love the bold color choices. The chair color is a perfect pop, and the brown mohair is so sophisticated. Lindsey is one lucky young woman.

[@ReidandShane]

Looks very French! Both in size and style!❤️ how kind of Sarah to remodel her intern’s apartment! ❤️

[@pamelashearer9709]

The studio apartment turned out so cute and homey. I'm sure Lindsey is grateful to have such a great team to work for.

[@texasstardust6010]

....That colour palette !! Grown up, classy, lovely ...dare I say ' sexy ' as well (!!??) It is an underutilized palette that exudes a sense of " wow" without being overdone or " too much "in the space . Understated elegance meets form and function. Gorgeous!! I know she enjoyed the end results... Well done, Sarah, Tommy , Lindsey, and crew ! Y' all nailed it ..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💫💫🙂💯💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

[@jmpe.5289]

Design Inc. is just fabulous. Thank you again Abode for bringing Sarah to us!

[@marieslabbert6009]

I like the new little kichen the most. The wall paper board is so arty and with the chandelier it looks so sophisticated.

[@nata3467]

Love all of Sarah's work - my favorites are the cottage renos because I am always working on mine - hoping to find new inspiration plus just wonderful people- so fun.

[@philippapay4352]

This apartment looks fabulous, chic, lush colors, and quite livable and enjoyable for anyone.

[@pbenson56fran]

An appreciative boss, wow. That was so nice of her to do that for Lindsay. And the apartment looks so great.

[@sawdust2556]

Love it! Color scheme, seating area with bed, kitchen update, lighting- all beautiful and looks expensive!

[@AbodeLDS]

We agree!

[@CarlaLR74]

I love that pink chair. Please keep adding these episodes.

[@AbodeLDS]

Hey Carsy, Loads more Sarah to Come!

[@cynthiaslebodnik6945]

She's one lucky employee to have a teensy apartment become a showcase.

[@lindaartz3297]

Love it. When I have had to work with a dark room I went chocolate because painting it light didn’t make it look larger. The chocolate embraced it. When we sold it was the favorite room. The lookers all said they would never have done it but loved it.

[@CarlaLR74]

I love the chocolate and purple combination.

[@maryhinch4510]

Feels luxurious

[@marilynweist2645]

Looks great! So kind and thoughtful to help her out like you all did! Team work! ❤️❤️

[@AbodeLDS]

We agree!

[@sandramosteller9944]

Thank you for the SMALL makeovers.

[@LisaLisa001]

Lindsay is so cute!

[@AbodeLDS]

I wonder where she's at now? Lindsay, are you out there???

[@patriciacole8773]

Comfy/ glam , splashy/ luxe Yes yes yes yes ✅✅✅✅

[@beverlydust5381]

I thought it was pretty funny that they forgot to get permission to change out the kitchen cabinets, as they were installing the new ones.I think the individual renting should have taken care of that before agreeing to the make over. The team did come up with some good practical ideas and not to expensive.ones at that.

[@eviekleinwhittingham9237]

Great reno! Although your average renter wouldn't have the cash or the time to replace the kitchen cabinets!!! Love the stripes on the wall, and the remnant carpeting is great for reducing noise in an apartment. Alas, the videography at the end was like looking through a kaleidoscopic. IMO, the view and the balcony, essential to a small apartment, were overlooked. The drapes were fabulous from what I could see.

[@eviekleinwhittingham9237]

I think the experienced decorator should've anticipated that.

[@Lilactime402]

@@eviekleinwhittingham9237 Their childish banter makes me suspect lack of expertise.

[@christijennings9064]

This is super cute. Would it not be nice if all landlords would allow people to be able to design their small apartments!

[@judithcatlett8518]

This room came out really nice and will probably stand today (12/2021). I was hoping there would be some type of room divider between the front room and bedroom though.

[@AbodeLDS]

That's a great point Judith, Bedroom divider would've been really effective....

[@laurelechavarria7006]

I love this show so much. Always good advice and makes me laugh every time.

[@susannagiesey9657]

So beautiful.

[@murielbaith5445]

Tommy is so 😁 funny. And "He's so rich" must be a scene from Pride and Prejudice. Colors remind me of chocolate covered cherries

[@judymcfadden3577]

How come the place looks so much bigger with more furnishings. I love how original it is, and not cookie cutter. Sarah come to my small condo, if you are interested. 😆

[@Anayansi958]

You can't use the stove with the new table and chairs where they are.

[@julieaustin4684]

I adore Sarah’s style. I have done for about twenty years now. ☺️🙏🏼🇦🇺🍷🐨

[@MollySato]

Beautiful!! 💖🤗💖

[@cecedubois5147]

Absolutely terrific!!

[@pennynickels5216]

Always loved this one!

[@leslieoscar]

Like the landlord is going ti say , “Oh no, you can’t replace my ugly cabinets with nice new wooden ones”

[@freedomofreligion3248]

I would be so happy to live here!

[@brendahobbs6072]

So good.

[@darladonovan308]

Please More colors more florals something to make it homey and pretty

[@Quantum36911]

That apt is Huge by NY standards! Looks beautiful!

[@mimosasforone2556]

I remember the room service days when tommy was a client

[@annaleifeste4623]

Love love love it all.

[@leslienewman2052]

Gorgeous!

[@sheilavidrine1750]

It looks amazing!

[@terimccartney778]

I wish they had shown the view from the front door b/c it appeared as if you walked in - to the bedroom and the 'living room' area was beyond that space.

[@carolannaitken5812]

I am still laughing about "the chicklet" bed!

[@paulomontero12]

gorgeous intern!

[@margarettallett762]

I'd be that person yelling out the car window 😂 "I'm a fan!"; ever since she was a guest on Niks 'Savoir Faire' 🥰

[@KMJCAN1313]

Whooooo hooooo a treat - I am about to watch, thank you :D

[@AbodeLDS]

Yay, thank you! What did you think?

[@bbrosser694]

So Beautiful!

[@PrettyGoodLookin]

Not even close.

[@margarettallett762]

Fabulous!

[@jeffvenables4845]

I love the apt! I want to live there.

[@jenniferboudreau9366]

The Tommy and Sarah Show! Hahaha

[@victorialove9104]

Wow!

[@gorgeouspaintings]

I loved this..

[@foxyandlucy6392]

I'm confused. It's says her tiny NYC flat but I see the CN Tower in TORONTO within the first 5 minutes (3:35 to be exact) and at 4:03 the tattoo sign has a phone number starting with area code 416 which for sure is Toronto. Sooooo, Ummm what???

[@patriciawenzel3871]

This is definitely in Toronto! I recognize the area and the LLBO is in Ontario.

[@beverlydust5381]

I think they were referring to the style as a Tiny NYC flat,because there are alot of bachelor/studio apartments in NYC Another words small with no separate bedroom. Nice to know that Toronto has the same thing.

[@AbodeLDS]

Hey guys, we have changed this to save the confusion! Hope you enjoyed!

[@donnacarver5181]

Love it!

[@kbechtel33]

Beautiful 😍

[@onetry7406]

Very nice!

[@faithnelson6069]

nice colors, though my favorite things are the coffee tables and Lindsays hair.

[@enolagranville3882]

Although I hate brown furniture, drapes, counter tops, the arrangement and your accent color was great 👍🏽, so was the sofa except for the color.. smart idea about the chair and the not really coffee table

[@joconnor2717]

Put washed slip covers back on when still damp

[@christopherjeffery9403]

Nice!!, but as i commented on other clips. Where is the TV ????

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Not everyone has a tv, hon, lol

[@DeborahCaldwell77]

That is nice. !!!!

[@richardflies4905]

katef...haven't watched the video yet, but wish original date of reno would be added to these clips for historical interest...spoken by someone who has magazines dating back to 1998!

[@PrettyGoodLookin]

At least post the Year it was filmed and call it a Flashback.

[@mrsjuzziegreen]

I'm getting big 2007 vibes...

[@skdoremi6666]

Chic and classic. I don't mind it

[@matthewluck9077]

the brown and cream trend lololol

[@ccpumpkin5426]

How old is this!!?? It looks like the early 2000s!

[@Luna-ml7id]

Those old computers and flip phones take me back to when I was in middle school and high school

[@captinzoom]

it was 2006

[@Sherene54321]

Wow, how many bosses would do anything like this for their intern? NONE!

[@terrypierce1661]

Love

[@camillea7697]

Looks good except too many bed pillows. ..

[@fatmalekhraj7204]

Maybe do the video of the apt a little 'slower' so it can show the whole design better 😊

[@kdmil2002]

The room is amazing, but I kept wondering if the rest of her house was still stuck in the 80s. That is always the problem with making such an amazing transformation...then the rest of the house just won't do anymore. I guess that might be a great problem to have.

[@kdmil2002]

Ooops. This comment was from a previous video I saw and this video started up, so disregard my previous comment. My bad.

[@juliananton7800]

WISH they'd stripped the cottage cheese ceiling

[@jenniferboudreau9366]

What the heck is “mohair”?

[@Person-mh6xq]

I don't understand why these reveals are so piecemeal and so fast. It's as though they don't want the viewer to see what's really going on.

[@blancaorozco7537]

Sorry but...It´s very old fashion. The dark chocolate it is too much!

[@debbiee6535]

I like the chick lit

[@lynnnelson6689]

This was done years ago. Lindsay married, in a house and has a child.

[@judyfenske1429]

Ok, a rental. To me that means that you must keep any item (s) that you c remove-change. With that said, where will Sarah store those items she takes out?

[@matta8931]

Looks great but then again I wish she could do something without using pink, but she was designed for a female.

[@roxydus3746]

Look so drab with this heavy brown everywhere….

[@mepucket3029]

Tommie wishes he had that body

[@braintnt]

yuk depressing

[@sandramalone3522]

They wanted to go on the 'cheap' so they buy and $800.+ couch? I couldn't finish this video, usually Sarah does so well on most of her designs but didn't like this one at all.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Given that she usually buys more expensive furniture, an $800 couch IS cheap for her lol.

[@svietka202]

i m sorry but to make the girl work like a horse on her own place is not cool. and to install new cabinets in a rental IS NOT budget friendly and there was a much much cheaper way to upgrade the kitchen. This is very very old show when Sarah was probably just starting out cause the arm chair is too large for the space and kichen could have had additional counter space if planned out right. the place is gorgeous but surely has nothing to do with being budget friendly

[@lolohellokids3211]

Ugly living room, looks like an old seventies with brown colours, urgh

[@thehungrygoldfish]

That’s not 70s hon lol
