    I would have done one (big) thing differently. The empty cabinet where she’ll store her cart is wasted storage opportunity. I’d have done shelves (or even drawers!) in the storage cabinet, and then on the wall where you planned to put the cart when in use…attach a fold down table top to the wall. You’d still have extra prep space when needed, it would be sturdier than a cart on wheels, it wouldn’t take much more than an inch of space to store folded down, and you’d still have that awesome storage cabinet. The new desk is a huge improvement over what she had, without being too big.

    • @smoofollowingqalroundthewo206

    Studio Fix is the CZcams equivalent of comfort food for me. I don't own a studio and am not nearly as into interior design as the algorithm seems to think I am, but these videos are somehow so pleasant and soothing for me. The payoff at the end is always so satisfying. It's fascinating to me how you can take an aesthetic that would never resonate with me normally (I'm allergic to beige lol) and make something so chic out of it.

    Hey Team AG! Been subscribed and loving your videos for years. I have a video idea/request: I am going to be moving to a furnished apartment in a new country soon. I will have to do a lot of Uber-renter friendly DIYing that does not displace the furniture already in the space. It would be so helpful to see you guys studio fix a furnished place where the major challenge is making it feel like “home” when you cannot make any significant changes. I could really use your expertise and advice ❤️❤️❤️ thank you!

When I brought it inside for the winter I also left in the white caladium leaf bulbs that I planted in it. They come up in the spring and die in the fall. It's a nice compliment with the bird of paradise and the white pot. 🌿💜👍

    I couldn’t live like that - I’d have to have the bed partitioned off in some way. When you’ve got a huge bed dominating the space like that, it just feels like a hotel room with extras. I’m always surprised more studio apartment dwellers don’t go for sofa beds or Murphy beds - I would!

    • @SevenPinesHome
      @SevenPinesHome Před 12 dny +2

      100% agree that the entry light should match, but those Mitzi lights are expensive and the AG team is working on a budget. However, Nadine could swap that light out herself!
      I'd also encourage her to do some white or off-white peel and stick tiles over the current kitchen backsplash, I think that would really open up that space and tie it into the room. 🤍
      Since she was just gifted thousands of dollars of new furniture and decor, spending a bit of money on those two changes (whenever the budget allows) seems reasonable- if those are things she wants.
      This is one of my favorite AG makeovers to date! So lux but still unique and inviting! ✨✨✨ Congrats to Nadine on her new season of life and new space!
