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! Welcome to my new series, Making Over My Childhood Home, where I make over my parent’s outdated home in Canada. In today’s episode, I’m making over the entryway. There will be a new episode every Saturday in May. In the last episode, I’m revealing the whole makeover to my parents who are flying from England to see it!
