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 is the final episode of My Rental Reno Season 3 and I am tackling the bathroom! I actually started this makeover back in the summer but it didn’t feel finished. So I’m taking a second pass at it by tiling over existing backsplash, hacking an Ikea storage cabinet and making a DIY towel ladder.

How about calling the plant Rapunzel? The room looks beautiful! :)

Love the combination of natural light wood and sharp black accents. Looks chic but not overdone. Maybe cause I’m an older gal but all that chrome screamed early 2000s to me. Kudos!

Must admit I preferred the black round mirror, but loved the rest.

[damelanieg]

I think Lottie is your best accessory...I mean, seriously, she is your aesthetic to a tee. She looks great in every room. 😊

This was so relatable. Sometimes it takes a while to have the courage to do the bigger things that a space needs.
I've been living in my home for 2 1/2 years and we renovated the bathroom already because it was a real mess, but we have now saved enough money and know enough about what we need to redo the kitchen. And I'm glad we waited because I'm now very much into gold hardware, which I would never have thought of getting 2 years ago. 🙂

Love your bathroom design. The black accents are so chic, love the mirror and knobs. Simply adorable

Looks good. Have to admit I did like the round black mirror better. Good call on removing the sliver towel ladder.👍👍

Hands down my new favourite YouTube decorator. Clever, fun, and intuitive. Great design sense.

I preferred the old backsplash and mirror but like the other changes

Your landlords are *lucky* to have you as a tenant.

What I love most about this makeover is all the black. The shower curtain is really fun. The original towel lander was too big so the new one is perfect. Beautiful makeover! I have to say I’m not a fan of cats because of allergies but your cats is so gorgeous!

[MsJillVicius]

The two detaily bits that get me: how thick the back splash is now, but I guess it's useful since it's a little ledge... and also you had the power off to change out the sconces but didn't flip your outlet so it was right-side up.

That Simba/Lottie moment was everything 😂😭😂

[lindamoon]

The change in the mirror made a huge difference!

[simonenieuwoudt]

Well done, Alexandra! I would sand the ladder back to natural wood if it was my bathroom, but otherwise love the makeover. The whole point of decor is that people do what they like, and everyone would do something differently if it was their own space.

Loved the video 😍 And I truly think James is THE BEST editor ever. It's so funny, gets me every single time 😀 Lots of love for James ❤️

[TheKaurK]

The mirror, the knobs, the black accents, the new tile, the shower curtain- everything was a hit! What a fantastic makeover!!

[mmm_]

I’m actually obsessed with the black and white tile lol!

[ulala]

Good makeover. I loved when you stuffed Lottie into your overalls!

[hello_danielle]

2 questions.. Where do you keep your products for the tub/shower? And tiling over the other tile, is that something you got approved by the homeowner or is that something you will remove? Doesn’t appear to me to be something that could be removed but maybe I am missing something. I find it helpful when you specify what is rental friendly vs permanent.

Much better now. It was very cold at the beginning. Now is really beautiful.
