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 is the final episode of My Rental Reno Season 3 and I am tackling the bathroom! I actually started this makeover back in the summer but it didn’t feel finished. So I’m taking a second pass at it by tiling over existing backsplash, hacking an Ikea storage cabinet and making a DIY towel ladder.

How about calling the plant Rapunzel? The room looks beautiful! :)
My devil’s ivy is called Rapunzel
Becky Donaldson, Rapunzel is the perfect name for the plant!!
I love this
That’s just what came to me! Rapunzel! Rapunzel! Let down your hair!
Love the name!! Good call 😊
Must admit I preferred the black round mirror, but loved the rest.
Exactely what i thought. The wooden one is a tinsy bit too massive. But in general the makeover turned out really cool ✌️
I like the round mirror more in general, but she's right it would be too much black with the faucet. I like the natural one's bigger size, too. But I'm with Noah on hating the balls 🤣
Me too. Maybe just more my thing though.
I agree. The mirror doesn't suit the rest of the decor.
So not a fan of the wooden mirror in this location. The black one was much better here.
Your landlords are *lucky* to have you as a tenant.
I think Lottie is your best accessory...I mean, seriously, she is your aesthetic to a tee. She looks great in every room. 😊
Agree about Lottie😻...btw, whatever happened to your other 2 kitties?
@@vsamaro72 one passed away and the other was her ex-boyfriend.
Agree! 😁👍❤️
That Simba/Lottie moment was everything 😂😭😂
I don’t know that the shower curtain is Noah approved, more like Noah tolerated 😂
Looks good. Have to admit I did like the round black mirror better. Good call on removing the sliver towel ladder.👍👍
Amazing makeover as always…I would add a wooden butcher block style top to your white cabinet in the same vibe as the mirror trim and knobs . Also, like the black shower curtain rod but the silver shower head seems a little mismatched. Also, I kinda feel perhaps that there may be too many black accents and my eye just darts all over the space, just my opinion of course. Love your channel and personality…you are so real and not afraid to show it.
Love the butcher block idea!!
Agree about the shower head. Might as well do that too in Black.
I would’ve left the chrome knobs on the cabinet doors I would’ve left the chrome shower rod and put up a hookless shower curtain I would’ve chosen a square or oval chrome mirror and I would’ve asked my landlord if I could swap out the single sink for a vanity that has more storage on top as well as underneath and I would’ve bought hooks for the back of my bathroom door to hang my towels on that I would use on a regular basis that way if my significant other isn’t that neat of an individual it’s very easy just to hang onto a hook. And I also would’ve asked my landlord if it would’ve been OK to swap out the tile on the floor with more of a modern style tile but these are just my thoughts and opinions love the makeovers that you do as always
I so agree! I was surprised when she didn't change the shower head and knobs to black to match everything else. Also, in the same vein as, "too many black accents," I was shocked when she brought in a black ladder- I thought for sure she would bring in raw wood to tie in all of the other wooden accents. I love your idea about the butcher block counter top for the storage units. Something kept throwing me off about that area, like it needs something to break up the white cabinets from the white walls. A wood top would be the perfect solution!
Love the combination of natural light wood and sharp black accents. Looks chic but not overdone. Maybe cause I’m an older gal but all that chrome screamed early 2000s to me. Kudos!
Hands down my new favourite CZcams decorator. Clever, fun, and intuitive. Great design sense.
Loved the video 😍 And I truly think James is THE BEST editor ever. It's so funny, gets me every single time 😀 Lots of love for James ❤️
I preferred the old backsplash and mirror but like the other changes
This was so relatable. Sometimes it takes a while to have the courage to do the bigger things that a space needs.
I've been living in my home for 2 1/2 years and we renovated the bathroom already because it was a real mess, but we have now saved enough money and know enough about what we need to redo the kitchen. And I'm glad we waited because I'm now very much into gold hardware, which I would never have thought of getting 2 years ago. 🙂
Love your bathroom design. The black accents are so chic, love the mirror and knobs. Simply adorable
Well done, Alexandra! I would sand the ladder back to natural wood if it was my bathroom, but otherwise love the makeover. The whole point of decor is that people do what they like, and everyone would do something differently if it was their own space.
It's also Noah's space, and he doesn't like the mirror or the pom-poms on the ($85!!!!!) shower curtain. (Notice he wasn't even consulted about all the pink! Just sayin".
@@elizabethpatton8807 mind ur business. She doesn't film literally everything and they don't have to agree on literally everything but she did consult him on some things and u don't know what they discussed off camera. Don't pick other ppls relationships apart
Good makeover. I loved when you stuffed Lottie into your overalls!
What I love most about this makeover is all the black. The shower curtain is really fun. The original towel lander was too big so the new one is perfect. Beautiful makeover! I have to say I’m not a fan of cats because of allergies but your cats is so gorgeous!
The mirror, the knobs, the black accents, the new tile, the shower curtain- everything was a hit! What a fantastic makeover!!
The new towel ladder is way better! Thought you were going to trip on the old one. Still not crazy about sconces, but that's just me. Cool update!
I also don’t get the sconces, looks kind of grandma-y to me. But the rest is awesome ☺️
@@Isabella-de7kv They look like black sprayed cool whip container with a light bulb. I love everything she does. But, the lights are just strange.
Looks fab! That poor pothos tho, is screaming out for a little somethin somethin!
I’m very familiar with this “slowly sneakily get rid of all the silver in your house” strategy
The two detaily bits that get me: how thick the back splash is now, but I guess it's useful since it's a little ledge... and also you had the power off to change out the sconces but didn't flip your outlet so it was right-side up.
Beautiful. Black & White feels so clean and inviting !
Feels much warmer. Not sure about the rug but loving Lottie as always. She looks fluffier than usual. What a snuggly kitty!!
Looks great. The biggest impact was the black ladder and the shower curtain. Loved it.
I’m binging so many of your CZcams videos and this bathroom is one of my favourites!!!! Sooooo gorgeous, I can’t wait to do this to my own place one day 🤩
It’s beautiful! I really love the black accents. It’s so crisp and clean. ♥️
I’m actually obsessed with the black and white tile lol!
Love the leg change, the mirror with the cute balls, and the Roman blind does soften the bathroom.
Love the black and white.
Love the rug, beautiful color !
Looks much better. Good job Alexandra & team
So gorgeous! Great job!
I prefer the round black mirror and I love the pink and black accents together. 🖤💗🖤💗🖤💗🖤
Love the claw foot tub! Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
I was literally just searching for this video and it wasn't here yet, but 1 minute later there it is :D Excited!
Love it, the black accents made a huge upgrade. Love the natural wood look with matte black accessories.
I like that in these videos you'll keep in footage of you trying something and deciding later that it doesn't work, like the earlier roman shade attempt. It's realistic to what the design process is - not always going to get it 100% right the first time.
The wood bits make all the difference! Love it!
So beautiful & it’s so light & airy in there ! Love it !!
I loved the new wood mirror. The balled frame tied back to the curtain tassels and cabinet legs. Round black looked comparatively cheap and would not have tied in all the elements as well. It would have looked like an amateur decorator - the ones who always go matchy matchy. And would have clashed with the long lines of the black faucet. So great call.
I think the tassel hanging down on the cabinet was a vertical line in the center and “messed up” the composition.
Love that you went with black on faucet and love rug and new Roman shade and vine placement. Your decorative items are always on point.
Another beautiful job! This lifted my mood. I love your videos. Keep up the great work you're doing.
Love your bathroom make over. I’ve loved all the makeovers you’ve done to your apartment. ❤️❤️
I love this! You are so creative and have such a good eye for design. Thanks for sharing everything!!!
This episode could be titled “Gater hates the cheap chrome as much as you do”
Nice revamp! Love the pop of warmth of pink rug
it’s 12 AM where i am but i’m so excited to watch! been waiting for this makeover since you moved ☺️
So nice Alexandra! You did a great job! ❤
Looooooove the whole concept. The cabinet knobs are gorgeous and the shower curtain so pretty and elegant.
It would be nice to add the tiny shelves that you used as night stands in other projects. Maybe by the sink.
Love this bathroom makeover. Especially the black accents (i.e., sconces, faucet, shower curtain holder, ceiling light , bathtub stool, shower curtain rings, wooden legs), soap dispenser holder, wooden knobs on cabinetry by the window. (BTW, does your show theme have lyrics to them, and have any of you or your team dance to the theme music? Just kidding.😀😅🤣😂😊).
Omg I have watched loads of your videos and started making boards on Milanote for when I buy a house and I had the idea to put my towels into baskets all wrapped up so they look cute.. it was before I watched this video and I thought to myself Alexandra Gater would love that idea 🫣🥰😂😂
Moving on Tuesday, I got so happy when I saw you posted this video 🙏🏾
Exactly what I needed today
the mission impossible theme song got me laughing soooo hard!!!
The kitchen was my fave. Looks amazing
“I’m your host Alexandra Gater…bye” cackling
Much better now. It was very cold at the beginning. Now is really beautiful.
What a beautiful end result! 😍
Yes! It’s an AG Bathroom!!! Great job done!!!!👍👍👍👍👍💛💛💛
Thanks 👍💕😊👍 for teaching me so many little too things in this bathroom makeover , your landlord is blessed to have you; the shower curtain is so beautiful 💕🌹! The ladder too! The white towels n basket so beautiful! The diy tiling , the work Graham does is so good ! Wish I get a good handyman like Graham! Your humorous husband and yourself 👍💕👍🌹💕🌹👍
At first I said leave the black mirror but seeing the room all together you made the right choice.😍
so cute! still blows my mind how laid back your landlord is so chill with everything
The second makeover was amazing! Loved all the black and natural tones. I think the mirror and the rug look great. The rug adds a little bit of a color pop, that you also bring out with the accessories. I wouldn't want it to be all black white and natural. Alexandra, you have such a good eye!!😍 PS I love the shower curtain with the pom poms and I don't think it looks too girly!
Loving this reno team AG!!!
You did amazing!!!! Love it! Love the whole process!! Wow!!
So the whole bathroom redo was “let’s get rid of anything silver”. 😂👍 and add anything that looks like a pom pom.
Loved this makeover Alexandra!!!
You have a window with natural light, and put the rubber tree (that needs direct sun or at least direct light) in the corner away from the natural light. The peperomia (smaller green plant) can be away from the window a little. If you want your plants to live, put them where they get light. You also do not think of the humidity of the room. The bathroom often gets to 100% humidity, these plants can mold and rot if you are not careful.
I love that rug in the bathroom !!!
Wow, it looks so goooood!!!! Love the new look
I normally don't comment midvideo, but I am a Noah. I like it when designs include us slobs. A little problem solving and I don't appear to be such a wrecking ball.
Love the effect that changing out the hardware had! I wonder what a wallpaper accent wall would look like behind the cabinets--either bold or subtly patterned. I feel like it could really tie the whole space together and give a focal point. 🤩
The editing of this video was really enjoyable...I especially loved the simba...lottie moment.
not the cat in the overalls!!!! I'm crying from cutenesss!!!!
I loooove black accents in a bathroom!!!!! Well done.
The pump soap floating is a great solution in a small space
Sara Nena DIY
I would have ironed the pillowcase before putting it up.
Can’t believe there is a claw foot tub in a rental very nice, love your style girl !
I love this makeover!
Nice to have sponsors fund your reno.
I love the second cupboard knobs. So pretty.
Leave the old legs in a box in the cabinet. This assures that you can find them when you are moving out.
This was such a chaotic video and I’m here for it!!!
I loved the kitchen tile in the bathroom great idea :-)
You are so creative! Love your style…enjoy all the projects you do, keep it up 😊
You Did It now - love the rug !
Wow what a great out come ,love it ❣️
I'm so glad you changed the pillow Roman shade.
Very cute makeover. My preference is the cabinet knobs would look better turned vertically, with the wood on the right. Personally I think the ladder and side table should be the same color wood as the mirror.
That mirror is the best with the taps and lights, love this makeover!
Cute! Love the mirror with the balls, might diy something like that
2 questions.. Where do you keep your products for the tub/shower? And tiling over the other tile, is that something you got approved by the homeowner or is that something you will remove? Doesn’t appear to me to be something that could be removed but maybe I am missing something. I find it helpful when you specify what is rental friendly vs permanent.
She said her land lord told her she could do the tile. He showed her how to do it.
Also she has a huge cabinet of storage along the wall for products. And a stool next to the tub
The tile over tile is the only thing I was anxious about. I honestly don't like it much, it looks clunky, and I would have preferred keeping the original or removing it,which isn't as hard as you think, rather than tiling over. But, if the landlord is okay with it and Alexandra prefers it then more power to her. I don't live with it so it's not my opinion that matters. It's a much warmer and more pleasant bathroom now, too cold and clinical before.
That is a dream bathroom! Great job!
Todo el último cambio realizado me gustó muchísimo, excepto las lámparas, pero en líneas generales todo quedó muy agradable. Felicitaciones! 👍❤
Love everything about it especially the red rug, nice pop of color
Really really great.
Pink accents! 💞
Love it! You always do such a beautiful job!
Sooooo much better than before! Such a good eye you have!
Turned out beautiful!😄
One of your best, IMO!😍
Beautiful bathroom makeover 😃👍🏼
Love the lighting choice.
Beautiful job, what fun to watch🌹
This is awesome and I love the tiles!
Been waiting for this video 💕💕💕💕
