  • 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 WithWendy's bedroom into a calm space, Wabi-Sabi style. I'm taking an outdated Ikea Pax wardrobe and making it look super custom with an easy DIY. Watch until the end to see Wendy and her family's reaction!

      The vent needs to be swapped out with one that matches the rug. Or if you can't find a new one you can take it to a professional and have them do it.

      I’m curious, Wendy, has your husband added back in the storage you originally had around the desk? The makeover looked lovely, but I’m guessing those functional pieces may have returned at least in part.

      @@skylarkkralyks4496 good q! Since this makeover, Dan swapped in his ergonomic work chair but other than that we've kept all of the changes. Turns out he didn't really need all that storage anyway. This year we'll probably have a few additions to help us with a new baby but I haven't even started to wrap my head around it yet!

    For anyone wondering about the mirror hack: because the string is looped around the nail on the wall and through the hook on the back of the mirror, when you pull the string ends the mirror slides down the length of the string and directly onto the nail. Hope that helps!

    • @xocarissag

      I have seen something similar with a fork. Slip the tines over the nail then slip your hanger over the handle of the fork. Slide it all the way down the handle over the tines and onto the screw and then just pull out the fork.

    You COULD have given Wendy the best of both worlds with those cabinets. A hinge. Either attach a piece of wood to the ceiling (Also a way to solve the uneven ceiling issue invisibly), and have hinges that swing upward (this is better/safer for the person using it); or attach hinges to the top of the cabinets that swing out toward the floor. It allows the empty space to be utilized and still have that beautiful built in look you're going for.

      I thought that Alexandra's choice is gorgeous, sturdy, and very practical in keeping with the purpose of the unit.
      Obviously, she didn't think of your solution. Or, if she did, she didn't choose to use it this time. (I've just remembered that Wendy was quite clear in telling Alexandra that they would not use the top unit, even though she though Wendy might want the extra room. That's why she didn't do it. She is always so careful to ask what the individuals wants. Hmmn...

    • @janetdw
      @janetdw Před 9 měsíci +11

      I came on to say the same thing. The client may not want the storage at this time but it seems such a shame not to have it “just in case”. My experience has always been that I’m going to need more storage. Maybe they’re super minimalists but I would’ve wanted the option of using that space. But that’s me…

    Love the walls and the built in cabinets, awesome work. Also, I feel like Alexandra is a great team leader, the fact that Amanda can say no when she is being asked if she understands what Alexandra is talking about (the tea bag project), the appreciation of Graham when he's made something amazing again and then being able to laugh at Alexandra's shenanigans makes me happy to see. So important to keep your team happy and feeling appreciated! Keep it up 😊

  • @TheAnnaK74
    @TheAnnaK74 Před rokem +6

    Love this! The side tables, the pendants, the bedhead, the built in cupboard, the textured but neautral rug, the wonky mirror, the artwork, the olive tree (nudge it closer to desk please for ease of wardrobe access), the fact that the checks on the cushion match the scoring on the desk drawers, the window treatments, the whole darn thing! I was initially surprised by the black accents for the otherwise soft, neutral tones but it works in a grounding way. I was sceptical about the practicality of the desk and felt it was "unbalanced" by having drawers on one side, but the benefits of the harmonious look in the room outweigh that. Absolute Fave makeover. very tasteful and uplifting.

    The wardrobe turned out amazing. The lime washed walls and that headboard are beautiful too. But the end tables seem impractical and more luxe than organic. I would have gone with a light wood toned , slightly larger tables, with drawers or shelves and the pendant lights kinda look corny. Beautiful, non matching lamps on the tables would have better grounded that end of the room and added an element of coziness. The tables leave me cold feeling. But the color pallet is beautiful and so is the desk area, except the chair doesn’t fit in with the room’s theme.

I feel like the AG team got lost in their own "Pinterest tastes" and forgot the client's needs : for the room to feel like a chinese tea room and have woods in it. Marble had nothing to do with the theme, and paper lamps with and asiatic look could have been really cool!

    When I bought my home, there was a gorgeous rug in the office with a hole cut in it to accommodate for the floor outlet. The desk was in the center of the room, and I was planning for my desk to be in the center of the room as well, so I asked the seller to leave me that rug (figured what were they gonna do with a rug with a hole in it, right?) and I absolutely love that rug and how it fits in the room. Sometimes weird decisions just fit!
