Maximalist *Renter-Friendly* Living Room Makeover

I can't see this guy 🙄

Wha a great makeover! Need a "you can see my light" print. Thank you for linking the gallery wall video which has been stumping me for awhile. Just not knowing what do with the my pictures and decor. THANK YOU ALEXANDRA!!

Great job!!!!!!! ❤😊

I am SO happy I found your videos. I immediately altered my space. You are so creative and original. I'm looking at all my stuff with a new eye. And I love that you list all your sources. Only drawback; I have no Graham. Cloning suddenly sounds so reasonable. Thank you for all the great ideas and I'm looking forward to seeing your blog and instructional videos. I've been watching DIY videos for years and INO you are by far the best.

Those privacy films are the absolute goat. Have them all over my house lol

I love watching your channel. The coffee table is really pretty. I love the glass top. It's open and airy giving the allusion that the space is larger than it really is
I'm going to be moving into a 1bdrm apt soon.
I'd love to be chosen for one of your makeovers, but I live in Spokane Washington in the USA, so I don't know if that would work for you

Абобус

I've been binge watching your videos, they're great! I hope Graham is receiving a healthy cut of the profits, he's the lynchpin! Amazing skills Graham!

"you guys are stupid" is the penultimate declaration of friendly love im convinced

i love his reaction!!! And the makeover soooo fantasticc georgeus!

It's BeautifuL!

AWESOME OMG

Amazing use of space!!!! He now gas a living room, an office, a music/reading area, dining area. Stunning objects. This was spectacular!!!

I think you could have painted that design on paintable peel and stick wall paper

The wood in the coffee table was gorgeous when sanded…no paint needed?

This looks somehow both minimalist and maximalist and im feeling it

This space is gorgeous, also he is so adorable I love the energy

i really really love this styling!

So great! I started watching and thought that there wasn't much more that could be done with transforming that apartment, since it was such a nice space to work with anyway. By the time last third of the video came about I was truly excited to see what was coming next. That was so satisfying to see the end result and of course the precious reveal to your lucky, beautiful and talented friend James.
Bravo!

you're a genius, Alexandra; it's so much fun watching your show.

You are not allowed to wallpaper in Canada and the US? This is weird

how can I get you to help me makeover my spaceeeee!

OMG CAN YOU COME TO NYC AND DO MY TINY APT PLZZZZ

I have no idea how anybody can afford rent on their own.

Totally awesome. I’m moving to a Tiny home in Newport, TN….and your ideas are mind blowing! I got ur book when it first came out to! ❤️Florida USA

There is a special vinyl adhesive made for binding wallpaper-borders to wallpaper. We learned that after having the same issues. Glad you found a solution so quickly

I cried too, how gorgeous, especially as he will never feel too alone, surrounded by the beauty and creativity and care of his friends and team.😍🤩 Just beautiful, personal makeover.

I so loved James reaction, you all did such a great job of this change.

SUCH a great makeover!!
Love the mirror and coffee table!!

What are those boxes for the tv? Do you have to have them in Canada?

Yes…its a year later…even so, I just want to say: I love the fun you guys create!

is there a reason you didn't just paint the pattern on the wall? it could easily be repainted white upon leaving

The authenticity of your friendships is as beautiful as your various talents. Of couse the makeover was fabulous. But the priceless gift was how he'll always remember that you all came together to make this happen w/o his knowledge. You all ROCK.

With the sofa and the table and the built in AND all the trim that’s a lot of orange and wood look. The gallery wall is lovely though

I just started following your channel not long ago, I am about to move into my first home. My pinterest board looks almost identical to all of James inspo pics. This video was great timing :)

Its amazing! Its beautiful! I love it! Bravo.. Alexandra.. So happy for James!

I had to put two sided tape behind my peel and stick wallpaper

I Love Love Love this!!! This is exactly the type of feel I'm going for in my office/hobby room/guest room. I just didn't know how to put it together without making it feel too cluttered or busy. The TV wall is the best feature. Great job!

It looks awesome

Omg it turned out amazing 🤩. Editing was even cuter than normal lol must have been so fun for James to edit this one!

I see this episode the third time and seem to listen first time properly ;) I think its soooo personal and cute: the sofa which is the one in the teams-space to make him included and still at home; the design of the furniture which are custom made, the colorfulness... in general it looks so much like him and small things like the cushions, the picture of him above the contact paper ( for me its even better like that instead of going all the way up!! ), the books, rainbow-protection in the windows...a lot of love also from Berlin to James and the whole team <3

love your design but it is way too much bla bla.............i have to skip it

I ❤❤❤❤❤ it !
This is the best ever make-over yet. You all are amazing ❤

That place didn't even need a makeover bro it was already beautiful. But still amazing job ❤

A $500 floor lamp. Uh huh…

For the wallpaper wall, a good work around would be to build a thin frame around a big panel of the paper, then hang it like you would a piece of art.

James was crying, you were crying, and i was actually crying...its hard to describe, but that makeover was perfect!

😍😍😍

It would be so much easier just to paint this accent wall. It´s such a small surface - just to draw the wavy lines and there you go.

what a shame with the wallpaper!! the contact paper hack sounds like such a good idea in theory, it sucks that it just doesn't want to cooperate with the glue!!!
