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 I’m taking a nook in a small apartment and turning it into a dark and moody dining room. You won’t want to miss the renter-friendly beadboard and built-in bench!
