Welcome to the start of a new era on Actually Alli. For a while I have known that this second bedroom in my apartment wasn't working for me. Last year, I turned it into a craft room for me to create videos out of. But it quickly became a drop zone for all my room makeovers when they were done because I didn't resonate with this room anymore. I realized I no longer wanted to make small decor projects, and instead focus on making my rental into my home. This is just part one of turning this room into my dream home office, so I hope you join me on this transformation journey! 🤍

![DIY KITCHEN MAKEOVER ✨ Renter-Friendly Transformation For a Small Kitchen (On A Budget)
In this episode of Rental Redesign, Im tackling my apartment kitchen. I have a small galley style kitchen with black counters and outdated cabinets. Ill show you a few easy renter-friendly tips, hacks and DIYs by changing out hardware, putting up removable subway tile wallpaper, and adding beautiful (and functional) decor pieces.
This kitchen makeover brings in rich, warm colors and a boho/eclectic aesthetic. The total cost came in right around $150. ✨ #kitchenmakeover
