Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 08. 2024
- 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 Friday! Today I'm helping fashion and lifestyle blogger Sarah Anne with a bedroom transformation. Sarah loves all things pink (same) so the challenge here was trying to create a grown-up, sophisticated room while still using lots of pink. I hope you enjoy this small bedroom makeover and get ideas for your own space!

Thank you so much to each and every one of you for your continued support. I get to make these videos for a living, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it.

![Why I Stopped Signing In My Videos... // FAQs [CC]](/img/n.gif)
I am a retired, early senior, and enjoy your station. Although you appear to be tailoring your videos more to your own demographic, I realized today (as I relax in Morocco) that many senior women have the same budget and decorating issues: smaller incomes and a lot of things that we want to display as we move into downsized spaces. (However, for myself, my days of using pink are some decades ago.) I would like to see you broaden your own demographics by talking about the differences in what paint colors that could be used that may be more attractive to older women. I use a very warm grey, that goes with any grey, taupe, etc. You might look for a taupe-y grey, a lush navy and warm medium green to recommend as an alternative to your viewers.
Also, the issue for downsizing is not thrifting something new, it is picking the right pieces to keep. I recently moved from a larger home to a studio apartment: downsizing to something more manageable. I needed, however, a lot of storage so that I could keep more of the things collected from a lifetime. So, I either left, sold or gave away most of my furniture and purchased IKEA (the best flat-pack furniture I have found) bedroom furniture. I have a lot of original art that fills the walls that have been purchased over the years. It is colorful and busy, so I chose Malmo, which you chose for this pink bedroom. I used the nightstand, although in the black-brown, the bed that lifts for storage, and four of the six-drawer dressers; the low profile helps to open up a small busy space. One of the 6-drawer dresses was used as a divider between the bedroom and living area and the remaining three I lined up along the longest wall end-to-end and looks like they are one installed piece; these house everything from dining linens, travel accessories and electronics. If you can envision this layout, you might see that our styles are not very different, I’m just a grandmother.
Congratulations on your station and success. I can see your growth and development and applaud you highlighting other working women in your programs. Just consider giving a few tips regarding color changes (your choice of other great colors, like picking that fabulous pink from Benjamin Moore) on your makeover videos that could expand your audience from a younger demographic to include many more seniors. I look forward to seeing your LA programs.
I am 64 and have started living through Alexandra❣️😂😂😂❣️
Sounds like you should have your own show.
I'm a retired, down-sizing baby boomer and I love this
Just a note about colors in a bedroom, since as we age our skin can have imperfections , I find that colors like pinks make skin look better. Blue would make varicose veins more apparent for example.
I am 68 and downsized. Kept a lot of original art collected over years, but softening my look with original designs in quilts made by me. It is softer and more me than my other spaces were. When I retired, I realized that my original artwork didn't fit my own home!
I'm so addicted to room's makeovers.
Girl me 2
🎶Little pink houses for everyone🎶 😁😉 But seriously, this was an amazing makeover, and her reaction was soooo sweet! Pink hearts to you both! 💜💜
I love that you color-coordinated her jewelry. Even if it were still up on the wall, just doing that makes it look so much more sophisticated and beautiful and less cluttery.
I agree, and it seems like it's wasting a lot of concealed storage space being the only thing in that full sized drawer.🤔
Good call on the shelf above her closet. If it wasn’t there, it would look cold and meh. What a great way to add decor without cluttering the space. Now it added more appeal to the room. Bravo Alexandra!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great room transformation! The changes elevated the initial "juvenile" ambiance to "fun adult" which I believe suits the owner's personality, as she does exude whimsical with a sophisticated edge!
The night table should be on wheels, so Sarah can move it out of the way when she accesses the drawer under her bed.
First thing - her eyes went straight to that shelf above the closet. You really did a great job!
Love how minimal the space is! Would love to see you do room makeovers with darker colors (black, blue, green, greys) and spaces for couples!
Yes, couples! I have no idea how to decorate my home to fit both the masculine and feminine without a boring compromise.
I need a grownup purple. I think that can be more masculine and feminine at the same time.
Watch her Studio Fix series, episodes 3 and 4!!
I love that it’s still her vibe, but it’s updated and a little more mature. Looks great.
Knocked it out of the park! The OOTD hook, the jewelry display drawers, the use of YELLOW with pink, the sunflower sconce*, that SHELF, and even the perfect pink paint for a fabulous gal who loves pink. Bravo!
I love that you take time to appreciate the pieces they have already put into their spaces, even if you end up changing them or using them in a different way. I think it shows your consideration for people's individuality while also contributing your own mix and expertise to things! I love your channel.
I’ve been watching Sarah for a few years now and I’ve been obsessing over your videos just recently so this was such a pleasant surprise! Loved it! 🥰
I like it BUT...I think she needs a mirror! Perhaps there is one on the back of the door maybe. But yes a full mirror someplace. (In my opinion)
There's a full length mirror in the living room, but I think you are right. It should be in the bedroom, like on the wall below that bracket where she hangs next day's outfit.
Mirrors in a bedroom are not good energy. It's much better to have it in the living room. :) Seriously, if you have to get up in the middle of the night, your reflection in a mirror can be very startling!
I thought there was a mirror by her hats.
@@Lioness4cyn do you mean on the dresser? That is a frame with the word LIKE in it. :)
Jaye Donaldson oh no. I actually I think it’s just a glass sliding door
Omg that view is everything! I would be out there every night! I love city night lights and sounds. So soothing.
I love the pink! When I was single I had the most girly bedroom ever including a mosquito net over my bed! I glued the cutest fake flowers to my lampshade and it was soooo cute! I loved her reaction! Great job!
I don't have a small bedroom or a condo but I LOVE THE ideas you've presented here. Alexandra, I discovered you during this dreadful pandemic and quarantine (I'm from NYC!) and you have inspired me and motivated me greatly. The sadness and angst of everything is sometimes really overwhelming but your smile and your style (that rhymes!) have really made a difference in my life and space right now. I have so many things to fix in my apt. and have an arsenal of great ideas thanks to you. thank you so much. Truly, Liz
You’re so good and unexpected subtle without being cutesy.
And your color choices just gorgeous.
Love you aesthetic.
So cute! LOVE that pink paint color. It’s seriously the best “grown up” pink
kosh kosh it’s such an amazing pink
I need a grown up purple. Like royal purple.
I love the dusky pink on the wall!
The way Sara got so excited seeing her new bedroom for the first time is just like we Brazilians show our excitement! 😂 Good job again, Alexandra! Loved it! 🌺
Omg I just started following her! So weird and cool seeing two people I watch often come together like this.
The pink and the gold! Highlights IMO:
Article Culla dresser, Shelf, Cork trivets, Night table, Wall sconce, Wood bracket, Eye jewellery holder,
Gold plant pot, Floor light , that is your power print, Large Ribba frame, Pink vase, Pom pom jacket:
Loved this makeover, I love that if you have space above a doorway or closet you can hang a shelf, it is space that often gets overlooked. The whole room does look more open and better organized, I am in the process of doing the exact same thing, and having a floor length mirror in your bedroom it has to be placed in the right spot, because it is bad feng shui to have mirrors in the wrong places. I love the color pink and if it fit in my bedroom would use it, but my favorite color is purple so I have been using purples and reds and bits of pinks, and will be painting my walls a soft white to blend with the different shades of purples, and maybe I could paint one of the walls a soft pink. Thanks Alexandra, this was a fun makeover.
You did a great job. You asked about pink bedrooms and I am 75 and have had a pink bedroom more often than not. My husband liked it too. I always used a very soft pink, like the inside of a sea shell. It is such an easy color to wake up with. Also a relaxing color to wind down at night.
She has such a beautiful view from that bedroom! The room is adorable, and she clearly loved it :)
In the first 3 minutes of this video, I am inundated with HOW excited you are to update this room! I think i would have moved her bed slightly over towards the wardrobes so she could stand at her windows and be able to walk about . two bedside tables and a headboard of some kind, would have softened the room more. SO excited again at 5.15 ( edit please ) the set of drawers are beautiful and very stylish .At 6.45 again with the excitement ? I lie the overhead shelf idea , you could have added led lights in the shape of either plantlife or chinese lanterns.At 13.28 again SO EXCITED ( scream). I agree with Susan Gill, that a mirror IS needed , even if its just to bounce light around . I did a thumbs up , because your client was very happy .
I have pink, and then a wall of silver tree wallpaper, white furniture and a grey bed! I love it!
Alexandra knocks it out of the park!
I absolutely would use that much pink! I have a rich violet bedroom and bathroom. Cabinets and woodwork and doors are pure white. The contrast is wonderful!
Beautiful transformation ! Hiding her jewelry made the room more calm .
Such a stylish makeover! I would never have thought of the floating shelf in this particular spot it’s clever!
I’m not a fan of pink walls, but this room turned out so, so cute. Good job, Alexandra😘
It looks great! I agree though that she needs a mirror. I can see both of the closet doors be mirrored. It would not only open up the room but would bring that beautiful day or night skyline into her room! Can’t wait to see it this way!
That room is ridiculously good. The shelf over the closet - who would think of that? It’s perfect! And the way you corralled all the earrings in such an organized yet absolutely beautiful way - I’m redoing my jewelry this week based on your idea. Damn, this is so good.
The cork in the dresser for her earrings was brilliant!👍🏻❣️🥰
Wow. I am in awe. This is sooo good. And soooo affordable. You've inspired me to get going on my guest bedroom which is about this size. You go girl. Pink power!!!
This is my favorite transformation you’ve done! The shelf above the closet was genius, love the colors on the bed, the half pink wall, etc. Great job!
The shelf above closet is a great idea, and looks awesome. A fresh and pretty, as well as relaxing room. Maybe a metal white, pink, or even black (to tie in with black specks in throw rug) wall hook for the hanging of clothes wood look more complimentary. The natural wood seems out of place. Lovely.
Ooh la la...What a gorgeous make over Alexandra! That is one of my favourite video! I'm in awe because everything looks so pretty and cosy. I like how you always leave some room for people to add the extra practical bits they need; it doesn't bother me there is no mirror in the make over or that you didn't change the curtains... at the end of the day, Sarah Anne will add whatever she needs in that bedroom later. The place now has got a cohesive style and a beautiful simplicity. Definitely a HUGE thumbs up for the lighting, you're right about it, it just make the ambiance in the room perfect! GREAT JOB! Bravo!
Great job!!Wow the view she had off the balcony!Awesome!You could tell she really loved her room!!👍👍💕
Tip for hanging earrings with wire hooks: hang them on vintage footed glassware -- fruit compotes, etc. Shallower the better and then the cup part is easy-to-retrieve storage for rings and pins. Looks fun on a dresser top or bathroom counter.
"old" furniture is usually much better constructed than fast furniture, tho
True, but a lot of people hate the idea of having old furniture which belonged to someone else before them, and many more just do not like old styles, they only like modern lines. We are all different.
undomiel152003 Old furniture has modern lines. It’s what IKEA is copying. Look up mid-century modern or Art Deco. Modern is not a new concept.
@@mhurtou Let me put it this way, in the 60's my parents living room and dining room were the new Danish style of the times. I was not even in my teens yet. I know, I am that old. Everything new is an old style which has been tweaked from the past. What I am saying is, many younger people do no want something which has belonged to someone else in the past, it is not just the style they do not like. Look at the many hipsters of today with their 50's mid century furniture, many of them, the real thing, old. But not all young people like having old stuff. It is like they are afraid the furniture comes with ghosts or smells or something.
@@undomiel152003 yeah I think superstition is a big factor. apparently when my family had used furniture all they would do is fight, they said the energy was weird. when they got rid of the furniture they said it was never that energy again.
undomiel152003 I agree with people not wanting used furniture. All I was saying is there is very modern used furniture. Not all used furniture is an old style.
Finally! We have clothes in a bedroom that doesn't look like clutter! What a brilliant idea, and useful to everyone, not just design/fashion bloggers. Thinking about wearing clothes tomorrow? This is for you :).
Oh my God. A corkboard for your studs is GENIUS. I'm borrowing that idea.
This was such a satisfying video to watch! I've been watching Sarah for years and I've been watching you for the last several months now, and to see you guys collaborate on her room makes me so happy. What an amazing room transformation and she was so happy with it that it brought me to tears a little LOL. Gorgeous, great job! ❤️
Literally wake up on Saturday sit outside with my coffee and watch your weekly video! The best start to the weekend! Love your work 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Her reaction is the cutest!! 😍😍😍 I love it! ☺️❤️
Amazing makeover!!! Love the ambient light!!! I love that it is uncluttered and soft-looking beautiful beautiful beautiful!!!💕💕💕💕💕💕
Love this transformation and her reaction was literally the best! Especially when you opened the drawer and showed her the earrings haha! So cute I just love everything! Amazing job ❤
a lovely result. She loves it and I know that makes you so happy!
I love all your clever small room solutions. However, I would also love it if you picked someone with a different style than yours to makeover so we can see some new aesthetics.
I like this...
I agree. I however don’t think she has the skill level to design outside her “own style”. I keep reminding myself she is a self taught designer (I believe, correct me if I’m wrong) so she does what “she knows and likes” because that’s what her design “eye” knows yeah? - at least that’s my take on her. She is sweet and likable and gives good little tips even though she redecorates almost every space in the same style with the same hacks.
Terri Jackson
I agree. After reading some other comments regarding old vs new furniture and being near 60 now, my taste in furniture and style has definitely changed since I was 20-something, and hopefully improved. I do enjoy watching Alexandra for her enthusiasm and clever hacks and ideas.
Watch her Studio Fix series, episodes 3 and 4!!
I've been watching it again n again cz m obsessed wd Alexandra's makeovers ❤️
The best reaction ever!
Literally woke up, saw your video, thought “let me make coffee to enjoy while watching this”, and it’s one of my favorite things to do! I love this makeover :)
Holy coral the jewellery drawer idea 😍 everything looks better organised and color coordinated
Nailed it!!!! The painted headboard made the room feel so much bigger. Girly yet sophisticated, flower lamp- love it. The shelf over the wardrobe 👌🏼it brought the small space to life and gave the room height by drawing the eyes up , perfectly balances the painted headboard.
I absolutely would have this much pink, possibly more!
Favorites -- pink wall and above closet shelf. BTW -- a dresser is the counter height drawer unit as it was historically used to store and dress game. Yes -- rabbits and ducks and such. The taller set of drawers that you used here is called a chest of drawers.
I love all of your lighting picks! They have taught me so much about the kind of lighting I want to bring to my bedroom. They’re all so warm & sophisticated with a touch of cute! ✨
Fresh and pretty.I love the pink.
SO CUTE. I've been needing a solution for my PJs and that hook by the closet idea is perfect! The earrings drawers: at first I was thinking "Aww what a waste of drawers!" But when you showed all the earrings inside, it made me so happy, her earrings are so cute 😍 that light, I need.
I thought the same! I was thinking maybe she could have made a false bottom for the drawer to hold more storage under the earrings.
@GreenWhimsy, what a great idea!
The way the earrings are organized, I could see them up on the walls in some pattern on the cork circles. Maybe not all of them but those colors that would bring out some of the uniqueness in the room.
That much pink? Are you kidding? That much and more. I love pink. I have lots of pink in my room. Loved the transformation to infinity. I ❤️ you too. Thanks so much.
1. Her reaction is everything.
2. I would use more pink. XD
P.s. painting the wall in two halfs, and pink, omg! Such an amazing idea. So simple but changed the whole concept of the room 😍
I love the way that pink lamp gives a glow to that entire side of the room, so it kind of looks like both walls are pink without being overpowering. And the string of pearls plant hanging over that face pot like hair is really genius!
I followed the link to that ModCloth coat and realized it’s the one my mom has in black. (My mom is super cool! 😉) Can verify that it is adorable in person.
Sarah is one of my favorite you tubers! This makeover is great because not only did you really understand her style but the room is functional, not cluttered and has enough interest to make it feel warm and inviting.
i think this is my favourite room you’ve done! pink but make it adult plus a tonne of plants - love it
It's so fresh and lovely. I don't like pink but this one doesn't look childish.
Excellent job!! I LOVE the room!! That shelf over the doors is fantastic! And the DiY headboard is awesome - love that shade of pink - I’m getting inspired to give my small room a makeover 😁
Such a cute room, and that flower light is so precious.
Seriously one of your best makeovers. So stunningly adorable and functional!
Yes I would love alot of pink in my bedroom. You did a great job, Alexandra like always
Best reaction ever!
OMG I love Sarahs channel! You guys collabing makes me so happy!
Ooooh, that headboard wall!!! I love this! I might have to try it.
Hi from a (relatively) new fan in Bloomingdale, Illinois!! Your videos are awesome and I so enjoy watching how much you clearly enjoy what you do - and girl you do it well!! I don’t know what you think your demographics are but I’m a 57 year old business woman who is thoroughly enjoying watching the design art you do AND how much you enjoy doing it! You are definitely going places lady, keep doing what you do because you are going far - no doubt! You are FEARLESS!!!
Great job, it has an airy feel to it now and is super cute
Love it! Little changes make it less messy looking, and it's just re-arranging..... so jealous. I need help with my room too! Hmm, would love that pink :)
Lots of improvements to this room! Love the shelf over the closet and how you filled it, the flower light, the dresser and night stand. Not a fan of lights without shades. Wondered if she needed sheer curtains for the window but saw she had shades that pulled down. Love what you did with the cork and the earrings and the clear organizers. Love the runner you chose. Surprised by the pillows but see how the gold compliments the flower light and the pink is subtly in the rectangular pillow. Love the quote in the frame but not the font. Good job!
My kitchen is painted a similar color as well as the outside of my house. I love this little bedroom makeover.
I love this makeover! Great job Alexandra! I love the use of the shelf over the closet! I love the light and dresser! The picture is my favorite! You did a great job!
My second viewing of this room after some time. What a wonderful client who finds Her Self in this room. Exactly what I wanted but didn't know what it was. Thank you for some if the answers I am looking for.
I am in love with that view she has! Gorgeous!
For in drawer jewelery storage, use colourful (or not) ice cube trays! Egg cartons work too!
I love this makeover and the Saturday videos too !
The shelf above the closet idea is brilliant! It finishes the room… Great idea…
Before it starts, that corkboard is a fab idea! I'd have painted it
Great transformation!
My fav pieces are the sun light in the wall & the throw rug, ok the other 2 lamps are cute too.
Wow, the wall paint, shelf and dresser really make the difference and your storage and lighting level up this room! Thumbs UP!
Love the way Sarah interacts with Alex ❤
it has to be said! pink is the best colour!
This is the cutest reaction ever!
Yes to PINK of course! 😍 Love the jewelry drawers, the shelf, the lights. Ahhhh ❤❤
I'm not much of a pink girl but the soft blush colors you always use are so nice. Even the cotton candy wall you just did was cool.
I love the color on the wall and I love the design
literally will never get tired of her makeovers! so cute! :))
Hi Alexandra, I love the way you make everything come together in a room to feel more cohesive. In terms of vlogging, I would love to see you out and about showing how makeover rooms and your own rooms look different in the daytime compared to the evening. You have really opened my eyes up to the role lighting can play but I sometimes feel my rooms are too set up for the daytime and don't feel cosy enough later on. :-)
Dying to get that sunflower light! Forever sucker for sunflowers 🌻🌻🌻
Okay, Alexandra. You hit this one right out of the park. So cute, airy, comfortable.
