    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 doing a completely renter-friendly entryway condo makeover. It's a tiny entryway but by using peel-and-stick wallpaper and hacking a hardwired wall sconce it's now a chic, Parisian-style place to put on shoes!

    I was so nervous when you drilled above the electrical panel! I've been wanting to cover mine up for months but an electrician told me I shouldn't even use a nail above it because the wires could be anywhere. I finally used a command picture hanger to hang it.
    Update: The picture hanger fell and tore off a nice chunk of paint. We ended up getting an electrician to put in a nail.

      If I am not mistaken, modern construction uses metal conduit pipe to feed wires into the box. You're not going to pierce those with a tiny nail !

      I don't really know how it's called in English, but there is this handy device that scans for wires when you put it next to the wall. This way you can double check before any drilling :)

    I should totally open an Etsy shop and make my kindergarden kids draw line drawings every day so I can sell them oops
    For real tho if you're into the abstract look kids do be good at that cause they're not overthinking it and trying to make it disproportionate and abstract on purpose, it just happens.
    Totally would be able to sell that.
    That is to say, I genuinely like the art you hung, and I'm not trying to shade the artist here.

    • @kebert2thumbsup
      @kebert2thumbsup Před 2 lety +3

    The decorating is really good and very creative. But that is secondary to your fun attitude. I have been collecting antiques since I was in my early 20’s. My flat is from1926. Still you inspire me. Thank you and right on .

    LOVE this makeover!! I'm so confused with landlords over in Canada. I'm from the UK so generally speaking things aren't as strict decorating wise in rented housing. But why would you say no to painting the walls but allow drilling of holes in the walls??? It confuses my simple english brain

  • @lovingmayberry307
    @lovingmayberry307 Před rokem +1

    I would've painted the mirrors, (I've done it to my sliding closet door mirrors and it's so easily removed with a razor blade.) and put a mirror on the wall next to the door, with the small shelf below it.
    I do love the print above the sliders!

    I love Amanda’s style! Beautiful condo. Peel and stick wall paper on an old non plumb wall…. I did that. Once. The print didn’t look off center because of that mirror. Alaska wanted that shoe rack to stay out in the entryway. She was planning to claim it. I love the finished entryway.❤️🌹
