01:51

they're looking for functionally and

01:54

stylistically in this living room hi hi

01:58

Tommy nice to meet you nice to meet you

02:00

finally I feel like I know you but I

02:03

realized before I got on this call like

02:04

02:08

Kuma's here hi Kuma say hi Auntie

02:15

Alexandra well congrats for winning a

02:17

makeover with me and my team a thank you

02:21

we so excited this call is really just

02:24

to get to know your space when you moved

02:26

in what's working what's not working

02:28

just tell me all the things so I've been

02:30

living here for 5 years since then I

02:33

haven't actually been able to make it

02:35

more of like a home it just kind of

02:37

feels like a house to be honest it

02:39

doesn't feel like I'm so excited to go

02:41

home if that makes sense oh it totally

02:44

does yeah we recently got a new couch it

02:47

was from my grandmother when you sit on

02:49

the cushions the cushions like slide off

02:52

so I'm like having like friends over and

02:54

we're all like half off the

02:56

go you readjust the pillows yeah so that

03:00

definitely is not working when I dog sit

03:04

and I have dogs sleepover Tommy sleeps

03:06

on the couch oh my God that is hilarious

03:10

that's not my choice that's his choice

03:13

so like a two-seater wouldn't work

03:15

because he needs a leaf of twer to sleep

03:18

on do all the dogs sleep with you in

03:20

your bed yeah I'm obsessed they warm up

03:22

to me and then I get the worst sleep

03:24

ever cuz they're like crawling on top of

03:25

me or I don't know what it is you're

03:27

like I'm not even your guardian why are

03:29

you close to me I know one here one here

03:31

one here one here I can't do it there's

03:33

no space for Tommy it's like the best

03:35

job ever so a three-seater we also

03:38

brought in a lot of stuff from Dana's

03:40

grandmother's condo at the time we

03:42

thought like oh free stuff awesome we's

03:44

like put it here and put it there but

03:45

it's more or less cluttered we don't

03:47

have like a defined place for it so

03:48

there just like weird things Idol laying

03:50

around the condo like in the living

03:51

space especially because our living

03:53

space is so small it's more like a tiny

03:56

storage I noticed that you have a lot of

03:58

storage but it's all kind of disjointed

04:01

it doesn't feel cohesive to me exactly

04:03

under your kitchen island have you ever

04:06

had stools there or thought about having

04:07

like stools yeah so we have like these

04:10

two stools but right now they're not

04:13

underneath we're eating on the corner of

04:15

the is it's it's because it's a console

04:17

walking yeah which is not ideal yeah

04:20

walk me through also your TV it doesn't

04:23

look like you have a console underneath

04:24

it so we have a fireplace we don't need

04:27

it it's basically there to make the

04:30

space look more inviting when we have

04:32

guess over so basically what you're

04:34

doing is going to fix the problem with

04:37

that I didn't even think about that like

04:39

you mentioning like a storage under a TV

04:41

but like taking that out and even like

04:42

adding that as a space unit would be

04:44

like so much more functional I think

04:46

storage here in this space is going to

04:48

be crucial so wherever we can get it so

04:50

I'm glad you're open to replace it in

04:51

the fireplace yeah sure and that'll

04:53

allow us to lower the TV too that be

04:56

amazing our necks are already ped up

04:59

yeah so walk me through your inspo since

05:01

you are like both sharing the space I'd

05:03

love to know what colors you are both

05:05

drawn to what style one thing that

05:08

you're going to be very happy about oh

05:10

my gosh please say Tommy like loves pink

05:13

he's like well yeah like I like the pink

05:15

coach at Alexandra so we can have a pink

05:17

couch sorry I need to just announce this

05:18

to the office Tommy doesn't mind pink

05:21

because of my house specifically my pink

05:23

sofa we miss your pink

05:26

sofa okay we're excited for a right

05:30

space but we also would love to

05:32

incorporate neutrals I don't think we

05:34

want anything like that kind of sharp no

05:36

I I know what you mean you know you have

05:37

color but it still feels soft and not

05:40

overbearing yeah one thing I did want to

05:42

mention is I wanted something kind of

05:45

like a Kuma's Corner Yeah just something

05:48

that is like cute so I can like make

05:51

little videos with him there I so

05:53

excited we have never really done like a

05:55

pet heavy video before but we all talked

05:57

before about how like so many people can

05:59

relate to this I think pet storage also

06:02

like furniture for your pet washable

06:05

rugs yes so Kuma's porner just makes a

06:08

lot of sense this is actually Kuma's

06:10

house this is Kuma's project we just

06:12

live here that's amazing I feel like I

06:15

have a good idea of what we're going to

06:17

do I'm really excited honestly thank you

06:19

so much this is amazing and something

06:21

we've been trying to work on but don't

06:23

have the skill or like the execution so

06:26

you don't know how much it means yeah

06:29

really appreciate

06:30

it's really my pleasure like you take

06:31

such good care of L and Buu and yeah

06:34

exciting okay bye

06:37

bye so the main thing about this living

06:39

room is that it needs to be pet friendly

06:42

Point Blank Dana has animals over all

06:44

the time she has their dog Kuma and I'm

06:48

also loving their inspo it's really

06:51

bright it's really comfortable they're

06:53

definitely not scared of color and I

06:55

really just want to bring in kind of a

06:57

fresh new vibe in this SP face make it

07:00

feel happy warm and also cozy for pets

07:03

so here's what I'm thinking first and

07:05

foremost I want a bright and bold sofa

07:08

picking something in this bright

07:09

terracotta fabric I want it to be velvet

07:12

but I also want it to be pet friendly

07:14

more on that later I want to add peel

07:16

and stick molding to the wall this is

07:18

after all a cookie cutter white box

07:20

condo I want to add some visual interest

07:23

to it I also really want to make use of

07:26

vertical wall space rather than

07:27

horizontal wall space for storage they

07:30

have this storage cabinet under their

07:31

kitchen island I want to move that

07:33

storage to a wall make it vertical to

07:35

free up space for a couple of colorful

07:38

Island stools so they have even more

07:40

seating Dana had pinned a lot of images

07:44

for like pet Corners so we are creating

07:46

a Kuma corner outfitted with a neon sign

07:49

a portrait and the most stylish pet bed

07:54

imaginable okay good morning everyone it

07:57

is prep day and there are so many boxes

08:03

basically taking up the entire living

08:05

room we're making over we are going to

08:07

start by unboxing everything so we can

08:09

just see what we have before we can

08:11

actually start you know putting it in

08:13

the space we've had an interesting

08:14

morning had an interesting morning but

08:17

we're ready well I'm ready I'm ready I

08:20

spilt a can of paint that's really hard

08:23

to clean up and so we thought it was in

08:26

the lobby so we were like me and Manda

08:28

lettera were picturing paint all over

08:29

the condo Lobby actually it was in the

08:32

garage it just went a full 90 upside

08:35

down like flat so that when you picked

08:37

it up the lid the lid was it wasn't

08:40

comical cuz the concierge was escorting

08:43

us to the elevator and then she just saw

08:45

like her life flash before her eyes I

08:48

know you see like the Happy go-lucky

08:50

behind the scenes but sometimes it's

08:51

really this stuff is really tough but

08:53

I'm excited we're ready is let's do

08:58

this

09:00

how beautiful this

09:05

is like

09:10

[Music]

09:15

what this is probably my favorite part

09:18

of every makeover like unboxing it

09:20

really feels like Christmas I don't

09:22

think you guys are ready to see this

09:25

[Music]

09:28

photo oh wa my gosh you can't handle

09:30

[Music]

09:32

that

09:36

wow stunning Graham is taking down the

09:39

electric fireplace that was here this

09:42

fireplace was just taking up valuable

09:43

storage real estate in the small living

09:45

room Dana and Tommy were totally fine

09:48

with selling it they've had it for a

09:49

while so we're taking that down and

09:51

we're patching and painting the space

09:53

where it

09:56

was now that we've unboxed everything

09:58

it's time to put up some wall molding

10:00

this is from Lux architectural I've used

10:03

them a couple of times in a few

10:04

different makeovers and this product is

10:07

so cool because you can instantly add

10:09

character to a rental without putting

10:11

any holes in the walls you'll see what I

10:12

mean in a second so this is the peel and

10:14

stick back you literally peel this back

10:17

and then it's going to stick on and you

10:19

can remove it just like any other peel

10:20

and stick product which is so cool the

10:22

first thing we're doing is finding the

10:23

center of the wall and this is where the

10:26

center piece of molding is going to sit

10:28

and we're going to work our way out out

10:29

from there we're doing three panels of

10:31

molding on this open wall so Graham and

10:34

I are figuring out the distance we want

10:36

between each piece of molding I kind of

10:39

want these to be as centered as possible

10:41

so you don't lose them on the large wall

10:43

so we're just doing lots of calculations

10:45

and figuring out what that measurement

10:47

looks like I'm always struck when we use

10:49

this product with how simple it is but

10:52

how much of an impact it has on a white

10:54

box condo it makes the ceilings look so

10:56

much taller it adds so much character

10:58

and just makes this whole apartment feel

11:01

so much more

11:02

Lux so the next thing we're going to do

11:05

is build the media unit I'm really

11:07

excited about this we're using a storage

11:09

locker a storage locker makes it sound

11:12

like like in an apartment building I

11:14

really wanted there to be as much

11:15

storage in here as possible and they

11:17

didn't even have a media unit in here

11:19

before so they're missing out on that

11:21

valuable storage space so we're going to

11:22

build it it's a beautiful olive green

11:24

color I'm not going to build

11:26

it well I am look we're matching to

11:31

hi Barbie hi Barbie hi Barbie hi

11:39

13:27

second coat later for now let's move on

13:30

to the rug so let's talk pet friendly

13:33

rugs I'm bringing in this washable rug

13:37

from ruggable how many times can I say

13:39

rug in one sentence and it comes with

13:40

this base layer the top of the rug

13:42

sticks to it so you can easily remove it

13:44

and Chuck it in the wash which is

13:48

great I follow a Tik tocker who does

13:50

like clean with Mees his name is Jack

13:52

Callahan I think and he has so many

13:55

ruggable rugs in his apartment and he's

13:56

like always washing them and they look

13:58

totally brand new when he takes them out

14:00

of the wash which is really cool this is

14:02

so cute I love

14:05

it it's all Hands-On deck to build the

14:08

IKEA sofa I chose the finale sofa it's

14:12

really fluffy and comfortable for Tommy

14:14

to sleep on and yes it is a three-seater

14:17

which is what they requested so I found

14:20

this company called Comfort works and I

14:22

leaded over to Atlanta's desk and I was

14:24

like we have to use these covers in a

14:26

makeover because people always ask me me

14:29

what fabric should I buy for my sofa

14:31

what's pet friendly this sofa is not

14:33

only velvet but it's claw prooof

14:36

washable and they make the covers to fit

14:39

Ikea sofas so you can choose the IKEA

14:41

sofa you have buy the cover for it let's

14:43

do it let's turn this sofa into a custom

14:46

pet friendly

14:49

dream one of my most favorite Ikea hacks

14:51

is just switching the leg on your sofa

14:53

or any Ikea piece of furniture that you

14:55

have these are from pretty pegs they're

14:57

my go-to for custom legs that that fit

14:59

Ikea furniture and they're really simple

15:01

so you just pick the sofa you have or

15:03

the item of furniture you have from Ikea

15:05

and they'll send you the right

15:07

bolt that's it so

15:16

easy I'm very impressed with the sofa

15:18

cover it's really cool how you can have

15:21

a velvet looking and feeling sofa that's

15:23

also super pet friendly claw prooof

15:26

washable it feels really nice in here it

15:27

feels like bright and

15:32

beautiful I love approaching Graham and

15:34

saying okay you have free creative Reign

15:36

for this project and this was one of

15:38

those projects I said your task is to

15:40

make a coffee table here are the

15:42

dimensions go wild the only functional

15:45

criteria I gave him is that it needed to

15:47

have storage and we couldn't have a

15:49

glass tabletop because there's going to

15:51

be pets running around so it needed to

15:53

be a solid piece of furniture that could

15:56

withstand you know little pause running

15:58

on on it daily with all of those

16:01

functional elements in mind Graham

16:03

decided that he wanted to create a

16:04

similar coffee table to the one he made

16:06

for James's maximalist living room but

16:09

put a little twist on it and make it

16:10

more pet friendly when Graham first made

16:13

this coffee table for james' living room

16:15

I explained how he used a method called

16:16

staving to cut small angled strips of

16:19

wood and glue them together using brad

16:21

nails and wood glue I recommend checking

16:23

out that video for DIY instructions on

16:26

how to do this method to start this

16:28

project Graham is cutting a series of

16:30

14in long wood strips at 5° and 9°

16:34

angles using his table

16:36

[Music]

16:39

stock he's using the 5° angled piece to

16:42

make the wavy length of the base and the

16:44

9 degree angles for the smaller waves

16:46

along the

16:54

width he's piecing the lengths together

16:56

and securing them with Brad Nails until

16:58

the wood glue has

17:12

dried now that he shaped the base with

17:14

the sander he's making the bottom of the

17:16

base out of some scrap MDF

17:18

pieces he's gluing and securing them

17:21

with Brad nails and clamps until

17:24

dry Graham is smoothing out the angled

17:27

edges where the staved piece of MDF meet

17:30

each

17:31

other he's now shaping the base so that

17:34

it has the same Contours using a flush

17:36

trim router

17:38

bit finally he's filling any cracks or

17:41

holes with wood

17:43

[Music]

17:45

filler because we want this coffee table

17:47

to have storage Graham needs to make a

17:50

lid with a hinge that opens to do this

17:53

Graham has to create a straight piece of

17:55

wood that matches the length and

17:57

Contours of the coffee table he's

17:59

tracing the Contours onto the piece of

18:00

wood and then cutting it out with a

18:02

jigsaw and sanding it down until it fits

18:05

[Music]

18:10

perfectly grandma is now priming the

18:13

entire base using shellac base

18:17

primer he's using a continuous hinge for

18:20

the lid hinge and securing it using

18:22

small grass

18:25

screws Graham had this awesome idea to

18:28

actually create a tray that fits

18:30

seamlessly inside of the coffee table so

18:32

that Dana and Tommy could put away their

18:34

remotes and any other small knickknacks

18:36

when they have pets running around the

18:38

house to do this Graham is basically

18:40

creating a shelf inside the coffee

18:44

table he's using a piece of Oak butcher

18:46

block and tracing the Contours from the

18:48

inside of the coffee table onto the

18:50

piece of Oak cutting out the shape with

18:53

a

18:55

jigsaw and shaping it with a spindle

18:58

sander and until it fit properly inside

19:00

the coffee

19:15

table he's making a rounded handle using

19:18

the same

19:22

method and securing it using two

19:27

screws lastly he's sealing this

19:30

beautiful little tray with LD seed

19:33

oil he's painting the lid and the base

19:36

using semigloss old Claret in Benjamin

19:38

Moore's Advanced line of

19:54

paint I can't even this is for remotes

19:59

what 100% made from scrap pieces of wood

20:03

from the workshop this is insane okay so

20:05

when they're done at the end of the

20:07

night watching TV I want to put it

20:10

away what amplifying the storage in here

20:14

and this also just looks stunning

20:18

wow okay this gorgeous light is from

20:22

Mitsy I want one of these it's so

20:26

beautiful and it's going to give them

20:28

lot of extra light if you're sitting at

20:31

home right now watching this in the dark

20:33

consider table lamps or floor lamps I

20:36

feel like a lot of times apartments and

20:37

condos have like one light source and

20:39

it's usually overhead and around here we

20:42

don't use the overhead lights instantly

20:44

warm in here instantly

20:47

Overexposed the power of light to make a

20:49

space feel cozy

20:51

[Music]

20:53

unmatched I'm bringing in this beautiful

20:56

muted Olive media unit I'm loving how

21:00

much extra storage we're bringing in

21:01

here

21:03

cute okay let's bring in the TV my

21:07

favorite part of bringing the TV is

21:08

going to be putting the remotes in here

21:10

a note the TV just slides a little bit

21:12

to the right on the mount so that they

21:14

can access that H back door if they need

21:16

to as you guys know the TV was really

21:18

high before and that was one of the

21:20

things Dana requested she's like d we

21:22

can you put lower our TV like they were

21:23

sitting there like that so I'm going to

21:25

plug it in I'm going to put the remotes

21:27

in the coffee table and then we're move

21:30

on I'm mounting the curtains on these

21:33

back windows if you live in a condo like

21:35

this with white walls feels very cookie

21:37

cutter don't underestimate the power of

21:39

curtains it's going to add texture and

21:42

warmth no matter what color they

21:45

are this beautiful print is from Emily

21:49

King Snider I have a canvas of Emily's

21:53

in my home this is a print but honestly

21:55

can't really tell the difference this

21:57

looks like canvas so if I fooled you

21:59

it's a print we are going to move on to

22:02

storage yay it's like we just did ballet

22:06

I know I loved it Dana and Tommy had

22:09

like a cabinet under the island and they

22:10

were storing a lot of overflow kitchen

22:12

food dog food Etc we're adding stools

22:15

here later so I thought that a cabinet

22:17

like this would be perfect Dana can put

22:20

baskets up here she can hide Kuma's food

22:23

in the bottom here this beautiful piece

22:26

is from article I love it

22:29

okay so this is what we like to call a

22:30

condo special why is this light here at

22:34

first we were like maybe because if you

22:35

had a dining table underneath it but

22:38

then people couldn't walk past you

22:39

couldn't really have a living space so

22:41

I'm not really sure why it's here we are

22:43

going to fix it by adding a pendant

22:45

light and then swagging that pendant

22:48

light to the center of the room watch

22:50

and learn people watch and learn this

22:52

beautiful light is from mity cute oh my

22:56

gosh this pendic could totally work with

22:59

these little Shades like with just the

23:00

exposed bulbs but this is cute we're

23:03

going to use a cup hook centered above

23:06

the coffee table and we're going to hook

23:08

the chain into it it's going to be

23:14

magic these beautiful stools are from

23:16

article yes we color matched the coffee

23:20

table to match back to these I really

23:22

wanted to give Dana and Tommy another

23:24

seating area and now that it's not

23:26

cramped by that horizontal cabinet

23:28

because we have this one the stool spit

23:31

this shelf is going to be both stylish

23:33

and very functional I've already put

23:37

Kuma's food down here and then he's got

23:40

some treats in this basket going down

23:43

here Dana can fill this up even more

23:45

there's so much room she has so many

23:47

treats for Kuma it's kind of comical and

23:49

then up here because everything's out in

23:52

the open it has to look cute so I'm

23:55

going to start with some baskets baskets

23:58

are so great because you can store stuff

24:00

in

24:02

them but they still look really

24:04

beautiful on display so I'm going to pop

24:06

this here two little canisters for

24:09

Kuma's

24:11

treats now I'm layering in even more

24:14

baskets Dana can fill these with all of

24:16

Kuma's

24:19

necessities and then layering in Decor

24:21

amongst all the storage to make it look

24:24

cute finally a couple of plants that

24:27

Dana already had

24:30

one thing Dana really wanted was a

24:32

corner for Kuma she's actually already

24:34

named it Kuma's Corner so we got Kuma

24:38

his own personalized neon sign from AOS

24:41

so there's no mistaking that this is his

24:44

corner like how cool is that

24:47

though this is a custom portrait of Kuma

24:50

you may notice he's wearing a pink

24:52

neckerchief his tongue is

24:55

going and he just looks so happy like

24:59

anytime I see Kuma he's smiling he's

25:01

like I have this professionally framed

25:04

by posterjack my One-Stop shop for all

25:06

my framing needs they do such a great

25:08

job so we're going to hang it in the one

25:10

and only kumas corner I'm just hiding

25:12

the neon sign cord behind it's clear

25:15

which is nice too so it's not too

25:17

noticeable don't worry we're cord

25:19

covering everything in here but we're

25:20

going to leave that to the end this sign

25:23

came with a battery pack as well so if

25:25

you didn't want to plug it in you could

25:26

also use batteries which is cool or like

25:28

Graham said if you live on a boat you

25:30

can still have a neon sign Forest oh or

25:32

the forest this pet bed is from the

25:34

retan studio on

25:38

Etsy so I'm going to end the day by

25:40

adding a few pieces of furniture

25:43

starting with a side

25:44

table Dana already had these stairs for

25:47

Kuma they're very loved you can see his

25:49

little paw prints have like made the

25:51

wood lighten a bit it's so cute and

25:53

these are in perfect condition so I

25:55

thought why not keep them I'm feeling

25:57

like this area is a little bit empty so

26:00

I have the stool it's the home sense

26:01

bind and I'm going to put it here

26:03

against the window Dana and Tommy can

26:05

bring it into the living room if they

26:07

have guest over or Kuma can sit and look

26:09

out the

26:11

window I'm finishing off the day by

26:13

decorating Kuma's

26:15

Corner these are all of Kuma stuffies he

26:18

has so many these cute bowls are from

26:21

home

26:23

sents and these little toys like the

26:26

26:31
