Literally gasped at the reveal and my husband from the other room goes “did something actually happen or are you watching Alexandra Gater again?” 🤷🏻♀️
This is my favourite comment ever 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Lol
Hahahaha both!!! 🥰😂
My husband changed from calling her 'that canadian youtuber you like' to 'oh, is it the kitchen renew? I want to watch it, I remember when she showed the design / ideas' ahahahahah
@@kamilabianchi lol
I love how your dad ends every sentence with 'darling' or 'sweetie', it shows so much love!!!
I love that, too! ♥
Me too. It was so adorable.
Coming to type this exact same thing! Such 💕
Me too. It made me tear up and miss my dad so much ❤
I was thinking the same thing. Such a beautiful family.
Honestly one of my favorite videos thus far.
Caring Parents ✅
Supportive partner ✅
Cat content ✅
Amazing door adventure ✅
Beautiful end result ✅
Well done!
more like whiney partner...
Sooo pretty
You are so cute
@@wanderwoman3882 omg I was looking for this comment. I couldn’t agree more
Your dad using all those terms of endearment for you literally melted my heart. Love how smiley he was the entire time! You could feel that it wasn't a chore for him but an opportunity to spend time with his family. Your mom is such a sweetheart too and I love how you never fail to compliment her ❤️ what a sweet family.
(Also let me just say that I'm a huge fan of the bird light, no matter the room you use it in - but it looks incredible in this kitchen!)
The dad saying thank you for asking him to help is just the absolute sweetest thing.
Your relationship with your parents is giving me so many feels. I cannot believe how easy and carefree and clearly obvious the love between you and your parents is it's absolutely adorable. I wish that they didn't live in England now so that they could be on your channel all the time because they clearly make you so happy.
So sweet, Erica!
I agree! I'm so happy for you that your parent relationship is so great and wonderful. I also see they really love each other a lot. That's so amazing. I'm so happy for your family.
Your dad needs his own channel!
Cherish those precious moments with your parents! You will treasure them more as you age!!! Your dad is my rockstar!!
I wish they adopt me :( i need parents like hers ♡
First time watching your channel. Amazing makeover.
I did not grow up with a dad like yours, and he is now passed, but watching this makes me so happy because I gave my daughter a dad like yours and I’m so happy that for sure her future holds many dad/daughter projects. It’s a wonderful relationship!
The reveal is amazing but what is even more special and so heart warming is your relationship with your dad! He is so supportive and so affectionate! And so crafty and talented! You are a perfect UA-cam duo and such a positive example!
Okay so I am only halfway through the makeover and am loving every second but might I just add, can I be best friends with your parents?! They are just the SWEETEST. My heart is so full.
Re: bird light - "Noah and I love it, that's all that matters" YES. It doesn't have to be my style, it's your home. Also I think it works better in your kitchen than in the living room, so A+ solution.
@Laura Brown I use these very shades and my mother-in-law's bedroom she liked black and white that's always been her colors and so I hung black curtains or drapes and then hung those white shades and tied them up a little bit just like she's done anyway my mother-in-law's bedroom came out beautiful and she was so surprised she had been on a trip and she did not know I was doing anything and I did another bedroom too her guest bedroom and it was the real light blues and greens and she had enough in the Attic that was perfect she had a painting one of her church members had given her that she put up there just because she changed some colors but all those things were like 20 years old so I didn't get rid of anything I just moved to move them into garbage bags and put them up in the attic and brought down the picture in the very very heavy cedar chest oh my gosh I did it by myself I wouldn't do that again for anything but I was much younger and you think you're invincible when you're young! Anyway my point was yes those look good and give it a farmhouse feel I think
it's just such an other vibe doing the reno with your parents, it's just so sweet how proud your dad is of you! bonding time while getting a new kitchen! how sweet
A dad who knows and uses the word "manifest". You are so blessed.
your dad wearing his overalls because he thought you were is literally so sweet 🥺 haha
Your parents are precious, but I especially love your dad’s encouragement at every turn-he is so proud of you. I’ve been smiling through this whole reno.
I love the shot near the end of the video where you’re standing in front of your dad. You look so much like him! It was so much fun seeing them and your relationship with them. You’re lucky to have such great parents. Of course, they’re lucky too to have a fabulous, adorable daughter who’s also a great designer! 😉❤️
Oh, and that door - G O R G E O U S! You are so lucky to have found that door!
Use of bird light, pantry door, shelves, colors & cushions outstanding! Family coming together to make this kitchen happen is even better. Oh, the landlord too for allowing changes. Noah & Lottie approved!! ALSO, your # system!!!
You did a fabulous job! Love love love that tile! Yay you!
Oops Forgot your manifested Miracle... Your ❤️ Beautiful Pantry Door... Fantastic Makeovers.... One After the Other... Truly You've Blessed Your Landlords with Your Expertise... 😎 Awesome 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰💯💯💯
You're the queen of peel-n-stick tile, but it was SO satisfying to see you have the freedom to use real tile. Amazing work with your dad on the kitchen!
The bird light looks amazing in the kitchen! Love all of it!
I can’t think of a time either of parents “help helped” me. What a glorious example of good parenting! In my next life hopefully!
My heart melted every time your dad called you “my darling”! Completely melted!
Oh, and the makeover is fabulous. I totally want those amazing tiles!
Dad and AG in matching overalls while doing renovations? It's the wholesome entertainment I didn't know I needed. Love the pantry door and the kitchen as a whole!
This is absolutely one of the best makeovers you've done! The changes were ultimately manageable (no new cabinets, no rearranging of the layout, no changing of plumbing or wiring) but so beautiful!
You've really learned to marry your style with Noah's. I hope you're extra proud of this one!
Would you and Danie be willing to do an in-depth video showing how to DIY the floating shelves? This is such a great idea.
Admittedly, “farm house” “boho” or “eclectic” are words that are never used to describe my design preferences…. But I really like your more timeless, yet somehow modern, take on it! Your decisions were very smartly thought out! Let’s say your style changes in the next few years, a few minor and inexpensive tweaks could change the look completely! Bravo!! 👏👏👏
And your dad ending all of his sentences saying darling (& other positive affirmations)… and you two in overalls… LOVE!!! 💕
This video is all my favourite things about youtube design channels - upcycling existing pieces, amazing thrifted finds, re-use of existing pieces to give them and a space both new life (ily bird light) and a strong balance of taking on diy challenges while still delegating more intricate tasks to professionals. YAY
Your dad loves the camera as much as you do...now we know where all your genius and warmth comes from. The kitchen is AMAZING ... I watch all your videos and I'm not into commenting but this one with your parents not only turnout great but it was very special.
Those tiles 🤗👏🏻❤️ I love how this turned out. That cabinet colour *chefs kiss
Yes girl! Happy to see your comment here and supporting another lady boss like yourself. Love from Oregon! 💙
Your face when you said: my dad literally designed these! So, so sweet! You look so proud of him! I’m the same with my dad! I tell everyone when my dad has made something! It’s such a encouraging feeling to collab with out dads in making DIYs!
Yes to a lamp in the kitchen. We put a floor lamp in our kitchen a few years ago and it makes the kitchen look so cozy, especially at night. We love it.
I just LOVE that door! What a find! I also like the tiles! The shelves look really pretty and I like that they’re not in your face (when at the sink) like the cabinets were. But I don’t like the idea of my clean dishes being open to the dust. 😬
Dad and Mum are so attractive. Helpful and good invention for floating shelves. Glad to see you not use that black lighting,however good it seemed at the beginning. The way they can call "My Darling" so beautifully. National treasures. Kitchen wonderful.
The bird light haters are wrong; that light is super pretty!
I'll agree that it didn't quite fit some of the spaces you've done before, but that's just a matter of personal taste, which doesn't take away from the beauty of the light.
I think it looks right at home in this kitchen :)
Agreed, the bird light is gorgeous! My only concern is that she not fry food in the kitchen often as it will be difficult to get oily film off the birds.
I love it but it does need the right space.
@@a1bestrentals Oh that would have never occurred to me to consider lol
@@Jessa8891 Yup, exactly.
The bird light is NOT my vibe even a little bit, in fact, I would use the word hideous. But she loves it and that’s all that matters since it’s her space 🥰
I love this bird light so much that I made my own, and every body told me it's stunning 🐦🐦🐦🐦
I love to hear it 🥰🥰🥰
Please post a picture!
We want to see!
omg your dad cheering you on is the sweetest thing i've ever seen!! my dad is the same way and that made me smile from ear to ear thinking about it. amazing reno (as usual) alexandra!!
I always had a table light in the bathroom and in the kitchen I love the feel of it that’s been going on for 55 years now😍
Feel like hitting "like" at the end of the video is not enough recognition for your work, your art and creativity, for your capacity of seeing potencial beyond what currently exists. Loved every inch of the footage, and the final result is just breathtaking. Thanks for making this happen and keep inspiring. Started following the account for the makeovers, but it's the whole package (you) what has made me stay 💖 you are truly amazing.
The shelves help make that kitchen look so light and airy. BTW, your dad is a genius! I think the bird light is perfect in this kitchen. It is such a nice touch of whimsy.
Great tip for the cabinet knobs! They are super pretty too! Loved this ❤️🤗
I love the bench by the window, perfect location for someone to sit and chat without being in the way of you cooking. I want one!
Your parents, particularly your dad are lovely! He looked so happy to be contributing to your space, which is gorgeous. Love the tile and light feel of the kitchen, so job well done by all!
Good morning who cares if it's 6am Saturday morning. I'm here. Love how it turned out
Good morning!!! 👋🏻👋🏻
I love the bird light!! I have sensitive eyes, so I can’t tolerate exposed bulbs, but no one should hate on that beautiful, whimsical light.
Your parents were lovely. I could just tuck your dad in my pocket and keep him forever.
The kitchen is great too...that door!
Ah man that pantry door.... Not gonna lie, I cried when it fit just about perfectly
Me tooooo!!!, the most beautiful door!!!, and the star in it, stunning!
I didn’t cry, but I was applauding! 🥰
WOW....what a marvelous change!! Your Dad & Mom were so much fun & helpful on this makeover!!!
We definitely need more Mama and Papa Gater content 🥰
Oh my gosh the reaction to the door after it first gets placed in the frame 😂🥲🥰 such genuine happiness lol made me tear up!
I would love to see an in-depth tutorial of those floating shelves . . . featuring your dad, of course!
I think this was my favorite episode yet. The kitchen is beautiful. Your parents were delightful, & seeing you work along side your dad…absolutely heart-warming!
I love your floating shelves! A couple of questions: what thickness and width did you go with when choosing these pieces of wood? What kind of wood are they? Floating shelves are feeling complicated over here.
Love the open shelving (thanks for the tutorial), the green on the cabinets, the tile, the gingham cushions, and that birdcage light! You and your parents did a great job!
The pantry door adds the perfect amount of warmth to the space. Love the tiles, hoping they are a timeless trend.
Never been this early for one of your videos! Your Dad is such a hype man!! And I fully snorted at your “I’ve Got Lowe’s” riff with Carla 😂 thanks for your videos Alexandra!
This makeover was so beautiful I actually got emotional at the reveal. Loved “meeting” your parents, they are so lovely. ❤️❤️❤️
This kitchen makeover was spectacular. Highlights IMO: Birdcage pendant light DIY, Tiles, Hexagon knobs, Semi circle drawer pulls, Glass film, Squiggle hook, Table lamp, S + P grindersPom, tea towel
Oven, mittRainbow trivet, Sugarhouse ceramics mugs, Olive oil cans.
I live for your jokes when you're shooting with Carla 😂 You girls always make my day 💖
This level of eclectic would drive me nuts, but it’s definitely in line with your style. The door is the ultimate showstopper and ties the kitchen to the living room, THAT door is the character of the house. The tile is beautiful. I personally couldn’t live with open shelving, but it’s certainly a great styling opportunity. The door is stunning.
Question: the tile seems quite thick and the space between the wall and the stove quite narrow on camera. Did you measure if the thickness of the tile plus the binding material would fit or it’s not a close shave in reality and it’s only the camera deceiving my eyes?
I never thought I’d say this but that is the most gorgeous door I’ve ever seen in my LIFE
The open shelves create more space in the kitchen and make it look lighter. However open shelving might not work fo many, too easy to get dusty. The bench looks way better. Love the bird's cage light. Nicely done.
love your dad
Overall. Love the kitchen. It's really lovely. I could never have a kitchen like that. I really cook a lot and would go crazy keeping all the pretty things in there clean from the everyday stuff that naturally gets in the atmosphere from cooking. That being said, it turned out beautiful and your family is great.
I was literally thinking the same thing. My partner and I do Indian cooking most of the time and I was like "I would end up patterning that lovely corner seating and that rug in "sambar splatter" very soon". Haha.
Love all the colours in here.
@@swet0909 This made me laugh because that is basically the story of my life. My partner is Indian and our beautiful white kitchen has been taken over by turmeric monster!
@@lindsey5196 lol lol. Turmeric does make our knees go weak. Lol. For me it's mostly the curries spattering all along the walls and the daily wipe down I need to do. Not to mention garlic and chillies coming off my hands onto anything I touch.
@@swet0909 literally same. I’m also Indian and it’s just the two of us for now but we cook a fair bit so the open shelving and all that white while pretty is laughable in an Indian household.
It’s not just Indian cooking. I live in California and love to cook Mexican. There is no way to have open shelving with a tiny little under-microwave vent and make carnitas or mole regularly. This is a show horse kitchen and I need a workhorse kitchen
I think it’s one of my favourite makeovers!! Your sis’s neutral bedroom remains my fave dream room, but damn I love your ideas and appreciate the tips. I think the bird cage light looks perfect in there!! And i have had to use unconventional lighting in kitchen rentals in the past (especially galley ones with no windows and blocked off from any natural light sources and basement apartment kitchens! I think it totally gives a warm touch to these spaces and has a vintage feel!) I think the relationship you have with your dad is so sweet and positive and encouraging. Sadly my family was all violence and trauma do this video really touched my heart and made me tear up. Never take that love and support for granted love 🥺🤗🙏🏽🥰♥️ it’s truly a privilege 🙏🏽
You could do a cute curtain inside the pantry, would have such a grandma’s house/farm feel
Oh my goodness I just love your dad! He seemed so happy to get to work with you on this. Love how it all turned out and what great memories you made with your folks while doing it.
Oh my, I love your dad. He's so sweet and supportive. 🥰
I love the lights, I love when nature is brought into home design, also been loving styling with amber myself, been looking for a lamp like this but they are so expensive !
the kitchen looks gorgeous! your parents are the sweetest, your dad calling you 'my darling' is heart melting. and you singing and snort laughing at the end was GOLD!
When you showed the before, I thought it was really a nice kitchen, so I skipped ahead to the reveal to see if it would be an improvement - it really is! Should not have doubted you, lol! Going to go back and watch the whole video now.
Same 😁
I’m watching it still and my hearts breaking seeing such a pretty kitchen be torn up hoping the end results worth it
incredible makeover, exactly the Inspo I've been searching for. However, your dad is truly the star of the show. What a sweetheart he is!!
Your dad is absolutely PRECIOUS.
Thank you for always sharing great videos. You inspire my home decor and DIY channel for small rental space as well. Love from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
So glad to share a small part in your fabulous makeover. It’s always good to see our linen blinds in their new home. Thanks for sharing
AG, you look like your dad! Favorite video to date...showcased your talent, humor, family ties, and furry inspector. Well done.
This was such a great Reno! It was really nice seeing how happy your dad was seeing you get happy! His presence made it all the more social and warming to watch! Enjoy your kitchen!
What a difference! I've been waiting for this makeover ever since you moved in and it was worth the wait. You and your Dad did an awesome job with everything and the kitchen looks amazing! I think your Dad would like his own UA-cam channel, or at least guest spots more often on yours! 😉
As always... it's gorgeous! Love that you brought parents to help.. those are the moments you'll cherish. Congrats on a great job!
I'm in the process of redoing my kitchen countertops. Love watching this.
Door is my favorite. I also love a lamp on my kitchen cabinets.
I just love hearing your father say “darling”🥰
Yay!! So excited to watch this video. Happy vibes to everyone! 💕
So sweet to see you working with your parents, the whole thing felt so natural. Loved it
That's amazing how helpful your parents were! So sweet.
This has got to be one of the best makeovers you’ve done. Absolutely love the door and tiles and rug and colours and everything! How lovely to be able to do it with your parents.
Oh my heart! Your daddy is so loving and supportive 🥰
If this isn't the dream kitchen then i don't know what is. It's cozy nd warm. I do feel you are very close to your Dad.
Much love ❤️❤️❤️
It is so beautiful to see you interact with your parents. So much love and it somewhat explains your light and confidence. 🙏🏻
Love the bird light. Kitchen looks amazing. Great choice for the backsplash. Your Dad is a gem.
This is the best makeover you’ve had in your new place so far! So cozy and warm. The wood tones really help the space out.
Love the soft Sage green colored cabinets. Much prettier than the stark dark green that so many are using. Tired of harsh forest green. Beautiful makeover. Does not look like the same kitchen at all! Nice parents, both mum and dad were lovely. Definitely see the family resemblance! 🎉
It looks sooo good!! I can’t believe what a difference the open shelves make in enlarging the feel of the kitchen. While I would never have the bird light it is a great touch of whimsy and really works 🥰
Every thing looks amazing!! And love hearing your dad saying “darling” .. so much love 💖💖💖
Wow! The kitchen looks gorgeous...amazing job.
And you look so much like your dad! :)
Love the makeover, those cabinets at the beginning were so draining but everything you did made the kitchen so fresh. I love the tile, and the light!!! Your parents are so sweet!!! More of them please!! 😊
Your folks are so sweet and you’re dad being happy to be included is ❤️
Your parents are the cutest!! Kitchen looks amazing! :)
This is so good and so you! Loved it 😍😍💖
So sweet to make a family project out of it. The kitchen is gorgeous and warm. Love it!!
This is insane!!!! First loved how your dad was so happy to help out and his idea for the shelving is simply genius! Loved the final result, as a non-lover of the bird lamp I feel that it fits well for the first time! Excellent makeover as always :)
Omg you singing the Lowe’s song is epic! The bird cage light is perfect in there and I think the film on the pantry door makes the design in the glass stand out which is awesome! Such a bright, cozy beautiful kitchen!
