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 Friday! Today's video is a bedroom tour, plus a little mini makeover of the space (like painting my closet the most perfect shade of pink). I show you how I've styled my renter-friendly built-in bookshelf (yes, that's a thing) and the small changes that made this rental apartment bedroom cozy and tranquil on a budget.

Watch Dani build me the most perfect DIY bookshelf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHQ299Jz5iQ&t=174s
