For longer lasting paint, either listen to Carrie Fiddler’s advice ☝️☝️☝️or use an appliance epoxy paint like Rust-Oleum.

I love all the people saying none of this is renter friendly, she added a disclaimer before any of it saying some of them were a little more renovative and that it was cleared with the landlord beforehand. None of yall actually listen. Any project, even a relatively major one can be renter friendly. You just have to ASK YOUR LANDLORD if they are okay with whatever it is you're trying to do. Most will be fine with it as long as they consider it an improvement and they don't have to pay for it, but some may even deduct the cost from your rent if they're nice.
@lillyc.11945 жыл бұрын
Yes it's always best to ask because it can't hurt I'd they say no or get upset if you didn't ask beforehand. My niece and her husband have done that with great results. The landlord appreciates them asking before doing anything and most times he gives them the supplies or helps them buy the right things. They've wanted to move away but they love the place even tho it's a rental and the landlord would hate his best tenants moving away 😊

Love this! All these tips are super inspiring. 💕 Tip: You can easily lift your entire stovetop (it’s hinged), wipe it out, and scrub it clean, when necessary, with a blue Scotch-Brite pad and Barkeeper’s Friend. (Same for burner drip pans, to keep them clean and free of build-up - you shouldn’t use foil in them.) Also, hardware stores generally charge less than $16 for burner drip pans, so be sure to shop around if you’re on a tight budget and need to replace any. (P.S. Never soak your burner coils- it’ll ruin them. Just wipe them carefully and dry well.)

Froufrou Deluxe no, the other kitchen reno she mentioned in the intro was under $100, this one wasn’t

i never was a big fan of pink but lately i've been loving it so seeing your pink backsplash made me consider getting pink tiles for my bathroom walls!

Looks like your door to that bottom corner cabinet is being blocked because of the sink....

It actually looks like it does open. Once the door is open it backs up against the sink.

Some owners allow you to make upgrades in their rental if it will upgrade the value. That’s what you’ve done and I love it. You must have a great rapport with the owner. 🌺

That countertop is a real change and adds lots of value, I can understand why your landlord was happy with your Reno plans. I’m obsessed with wood countertops. Nice renovation. And hiring a contractor it’s well worth it, they not only do it quicker but you know for sure is well done.

I loved the renovation, I would have never imagined ❤️ BUT THIS IS NOT RENTER FRIENDLY! I don't know where these people live, but a lot of the videos I've found for apartment decor or upgrades are so unrealistic! I wasn't even able to change the wall color in my apartment. They must be paying thousands a month.

First she never said that it was renter friendly. Also it has nothing to do with the price of the apartment, but with the landlord. It really sucks that your landlord didn´t allow you to do this, but she explained her situation in the very beginning. Her landlord allowed her to pay a professional to do the work, which saved the landlord money and ensured that it was done well. I think that makes a huge difference. Also private landlords usually are more flexible than companies when it comes to renovating. And every landlord is different, some surely are dicks, but many are nice
