    PS. I hosted a get together to watch the reveal today and I had 8 guests over comfortably - the most people I’ve ever had in this apt! The island came in handy for all of the food & drinks.

    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.

    Studio Fix is the UA-cam 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.

      Just wander round your apartment over the course of a few weeks and take notes of what you like and don't like. Write it down. Think about what you would like instead. Watch tons of videos, jot down ideas and inspiration. Don't think, oh, I'll remember that, you won't. Visit lots of DIY stores and home decor shops. Then, just start doing it! A little bit at a time. In a year or two, you'll have a completely new apartment and be more thrilled that you did it yourself (maybe with a little help with some bits). Good luck.

    Nice job! Everything flows together. Two summers ago I got a white bird of paradise plant. 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. 🌿💜👍

    Just another quick comment... I have to say the person who suggested making a drop down kitchen work space on the same wall you parked the rolling one was super smart! I know Graham could have made a great one and then the right side of the built in cabinet would have doubled the storage.🤔🎉

    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!

    Really pretty! I think that her entry light should absolutely match the kitchen light and her kitchen handles should definitely have been changed. To make the vibe of the entire apartment consistent. A brass handle would be so pretty!

    • @SevenPinesHome
      @SevenPinesHome 7 місяців тому +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!

    Personally, I feel the roll out cart stored in the cabinet is a waste of storage space! Graham could have built a slightly shorter, stationery unit with a granite or aluminum surface with shelves underneath to add more kitchen surface space, add more decor/book space... with minimal invasion to the overall floor plan! PLUS, giving the entire added storage space of the second cabinet...
    Love it 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

    I love this makeover, and the fact that her outfit unintentionally matched the colors of the room proves how well it suits her. The only things missing are some paint on the kitchen furniture (it's not a big investment, in its current form it doesn't really fit with the rest of the studio) and an extendable couch instead of the existing one (which can allow guests to stay for the night, and they usually also have storage underneath, which is important in such a small space).
