Hey guys! I'm Alexandra Gater and I show you how to do rental-friendly upgrades and DIY projects on a budget. Be sure to follow me on Instagram for our monthly video schedule! In today's video, I'm transforming a cozy 253 sq ft studio apartment into a mid-century modern dream. I'm sharing tips on how to create separation in a studio apartment and a DIY project that turns a previously non-existent entryway into a functional (separate!) area.
