Alexandra Gater, the owner of a digital media company, has a distinct understanding of what it means to “work from home.” As the host of an eponymous YouTube channel, Alexandra has transformed dozens of spaces in front of scores of followers, taking them from dark-and-cramped crash pads to sweet-and-airy addresses. Her former apartment, which she dubbed “The Treehouse” for its verdant deck, was a frequent backdrop for her approachable DIY projects. So when Alexandra decided to move into a larger place with her partner, Noah, and their cat, Lottie, they knew it would get the same spotlight.
“We live in downtown Toronto on a quiet residential street,” she says, noting that it’s across from a park where they’re friends with all the neighborhood pets. “Our home was built in 1884, but has been through a few renovations. There’s a good mix of old and new.”
