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!

Love this! If you ever run out of young friends who need makeovers, please remember there are many seniors who have downsized into small condos and retirement apartments who desperately need help.
So true!
bumping this up!!!!!
That would be a great series!
That's an absolutely fabulous idea @alexandragater
agree... whole new demographic
I love James. He's so expressive and his little cameos make me laugh.
Yes! Love for James!
James, the editing, Alaska, the banter..all hilarious. And the makeover was SO GOOD. I felt calm and it really matched Amanda’s condo style. That print above the mirror-I want it 😍
With every episode you feel more relaxed and let loose and I love it!!! Team AG is so funny and James.... your editing kills me everytime. A natural born singer you are.
Alaska is one of THE cutest fluffiest cats i have ever seen!! And i love how Amanda's interiors match Alaska's fur hahaha
I had to rewind James and his Babushka shuffle, it was hilarious. The rest of the post was great as well. Made my day
Dead @ Babushka shuffle!!!😄😂
Totally agree - rewound several times! Still laughing
Amazing, again! Loving the peel and stick wallpaper and whole make over!! But we really love Alaska, the cuddliest little boo and one day supervisor inspector!! Those emerald green eyes!!
This entryway looks SOOOO good! It's amazing how, with a few expert design touches, a NOTHING space can be transformed into a beautiful, functional, and special SOMETHING! Love it! 💙
The more real life interactions really help us the audience to connect with team AG! I prefer it so much to the let-me-teach-you-a-design-hack style of the earlier videos
I love the print over the closet. I would just dream it was a window I was looking out of
It turned out really nice! And the candle hack was great, but amazon does make battery powered light bulbs that you can twist into a light! I think people forget about this! Good job!
Although I watch and admire every project, this is one of my faves because it seemed like there was nothing that would make the space better. But Team AG did it!
there will never be words to describe the love i feel for james, as well as his incredible editing
Congratulations on the 400.000 subscribers!!!!! You did it!!!
Am I the only one who loves the intro music? It's so cute and joyful😍🎶
Flippin' crushed it! In LOVE with this! My husband and I are shopping for condos right now and everything he thinks is a flaw I'm like "Don't even worry, Alexandra has a fix for that!"
The cat Alaska! 😻😻😻😻
Absolutely loved it..a couple of intentional tasteful touches and it really came alive.
Also James is a born star,his happy bday song and all d edits just woww
I love your funny interactions with each other. James is a jem. Please add more of him to the videos😅
Omg the LED candles! Best hack on UA-cam hands down.
ALASKA looks like a FLUFFY ANGRY CLOUD. SO CUTEEEE!!!!!!!
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 .
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.
Same here!! still trying to figure out if it is safe
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 !
@@m.maclellan7147 it really depends where you are in the world. Definitely not the case here.
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 :)
there is a small saga in this comment. appreciated the update, lol
Congrats on 400K Alexandra! The entryway looks amazing. So intentional and styled. Love the wallpaper as well!
This is probably my favorite makeover the team has done so far. It’s so simple but the impact is huge. And Amanda is so beautiful! As well as Alaska 🐱 also, James’ happy birthday song was 👨🍳 💋
Congrats on 400+K subscribers. So well deserved. Another stellar design by Team AG; I love the large print installed above the closet. This whole area went from cold and uninspired to welcoming and warm and sets the tone for the rest of the condo.
My (5yo) daughter watching with me at the birthday scene 'Wait- she's only 4?! She looks like an adult!"
the playfulness of the team is so amazing. You've really created a dream work culture, Alexandra
I think your videographer is funny! And ppl who say it's toxic don't understand friendly banter
i love using rechargble light bulbs for areas without outlets but the candle idea is so creative
I love to see the team 💗 Y'all are so cute. Great makeover! Could totally use a little wall mounted plant next to the print over the electrical panel.
Yesss!
This was a hilarious video! The entry looks amazing and the video editing is on point. Huge fan from the states. Keep up the great work, Alexandra. You are such an inspiration to so many people especially new business owners.
Really good redecorating of the space. It gave it a personality, cleared the clutter, and made it more functional.
Woooow, this has got to be on of my top 3! Love the final result, really elevated that condo entryway from something basic to chic and elegant. Kudos AG team!
Love this design.
You nailed an awkward space and made it welcoming.
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.
I personally hate that style of art! I'd rather have a landscape than abstract any day!
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.❤️🌹
401K subscribers!
Very nice mini area makeover. Love the wall sconce, the wall shelf, and the shoe organizer.
It looks like a whole room now. Makes her place look bigger. I love it ❤️

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
Happy belated birthday! Amanda’s condo entryway turned out lovely. And James’ editing is off the charts! He does an amazing job, so does everyone on team AG💕
That James is adorable. So is the wall paper you chose. It’s possibly my favorite wall paper ever. Goes so well with the elegant stool - in both shape and color.
Would recommend maybe a collection for Xico ? Being Canadian, his health care is covered, but he's been missing out on work !
Haven't read comments, perhaps you've already started one ?! Will check after watching video.
I really do think that you have a good voice for singing, I know you just do it for fun. But it’s actually quite pretty. Also this make over is so good, the wallpaper added just the right touch.
Great job on such a small awkward space.
This was such a small but cute makeover. Love every element of the design. Also, I need James now in every episode. Puhleaseeee?!!!
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!
Looks like you could use that shoe cabinet for cats also. Smart ideas and applications. Simplistically elegant .
Simple and yet it adds so much. I love the light hack!!!! Also, had to chuckle at the end with a pair of shoes in their old spot LOL! Maybe a little rug thrown there to hold that place and make it look intentional. Love, love, love your videos!
Good work!
Impressed by that shoe rack ... and how the last shoes crept forward "on their own" to be included 😍
Get well soon Xico ! Love James, would like to see more of him on the channel. Alaska is too cute. Hi from Australia xx
Love the videos and love the style. May I suggest some additional hooks artfully placed next to the electrical box to help with hangers when doing laundry. I have a similar awkward laundry situation but I used over the door wreath hangers to solve mine.
Absolute perfect. Such a seamless blend of her existing style and the entryway with a bit more personality but still perfectly flows. ... And not I want that entryway matt. Close to $100 😫 😫 😫 but it's so cute and adds an extra special touch - I love it!
OMG! When Amanda Priestly showed up, I spit out my tea! Yeah, things got ugly! Love that movie, and that character! Thanks for the laugh! ~ Janet Faye Elizabeth
James is a hoot! Great makeover! And happy birthday, AG!
Congrats on subscriber count!
I was watching this on my tv and had to get up and get my phone, just to post this…James is a vibe, he’s my spirit animal and I love, love, love when I can see him on videos!! 😍😎😍
Oh I would have chosen the other wallpaper, it had a very Parisian vibe I loved it. But this is beautiful too and that light hack! I think it's what brings the space together so well. (The little birthday surprise from your team is so sweet!)
I believe that I am James's #1 fan lol. He is wonderful
I’ve never been this early 😂 can’t wait!
x2
I live in Germany where every apartment has a "Flur", it's separate and often pretty huge compared to the size of the apartment. I never know what to do with the space except store my coats and shoes there. Time to get some ideas :)
I love how minimal the space is but so styled 🥰 Great job!!
I'm watching this while having lunch and i choked with the whole little squirming run. A little squirrel in the background.
As soon as I finish writing this comment I'll be clicking the link to get the above mirror art piece. It's so freaking beautiful 😍 I love your videos and really enjoy seeing your personality and all of the team's personalities shinning through!! Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely love this entryway. Hanging the print high and using led candles were great ideas..
Simply Beautiful!
Happy Birthday and hope you reach 400k subscribers soon! You deserve it.
Great makeover!! Fun concept and Team approach. Amanda, loved your “request” video!! ☺️
Happy birthday! Love you & your team. ❤️ this makeover was so well done and so thought out. I live in a studio, I completely get how it’s hard to figure out what to do with each little space. Beautiful job.
Love it all the lighting the wallpaper the artwork everything it looks a thousand times better
the cat is like please get out of my house lol
Your videos make me so happy - love to watch them. Y’all make such a great team, which makes it even more fun.
Always love the editing, singing and banter and bloopers
I love this makeover! That print is gorgeous and looks like there is a window looking out. Love it! The wallpaper is such a great addition as is the light.
Alaska is adorable and gooorrrrrrrrgeous!!!
OMG!! Yes! I absolutely love this!
What’s a beautiful transformation! I love your team and how good you are to those who work with you. It’s a dream team! ❤️✌🏼
Love the banter and team feel of your videos, so normal with friends in a team. Keep up the fun work
I loved what you did with this space 😍 ! Love the art! Xoxo
They have battery operated light bulbs as well. I am loving the colors and prints in this space. I’m redoing my daughters room and I always forget what the website for gorgeous affordable prints are and I can always count on you for that website MINTED lol. As always GORGEOUS MAKEOVER!!
Thanks for the link in Skillshare! Hope to find some cool skill to try....will let you know. Amanda's entryway is adorable. Such simple things can make such a huge impact.
I absolutely love this entryway makeover!
Can we just get James to do everything? Host, makeover, edit, ALL THE THINGS!!!
Yes,a million times yes. Love that high house and all the bits. Wallpaper was what she noticed first. Good team. Get better,our guy with the hurt hand.
The print over the closet and the wall paper really made the whole entry!
Love the picture above the mirror doors..great choice.
One hilarious episode! Loved it.
Stunning! From dead space to vibrant 🧡
Love it. Especially the print over the closet.
Beautifully done! Another one for Team AG! Enjoy Amanda ❤️
Jamesssss with the editing is superb!!! Thx team AG for the once again much needed content. The makeover looked sooo good.
❤️ that shoe organizer
Awesome makeover. Love the light hack. The entryway looks like a great place to hang out with Alaska.
Print over electrical panel is brilliant! 🖼

Alexandra, that is WOW……
