      @nataliaturner4845 8 місяців тому +1

      Yeah, might not be worth all the effort to keep it clean in the long run 😬 maybe replacing it with a long hanging planter that you can take down on the weekends & set on the table to clean would be better (still a dust trap but at least easier to work with than a floating mass that will unravel from the wire frame if you move the stems around too much). I guess for now, for end of day cleaning, I'd buy an electric air duster (it looks sort of like a hairdryer) and do a once over on the flowers & curtains as the first step, and run the air purifier overnight as the last step, like you said.

    I have to admit, every nail salon I’ve entered, I have secretly made it over in my head. I ❤️❤️❤️ what you did to her space. Elegant, professional, girly and sophisticated. So beautiful, and THOSE WALLS! Just wow on that table too. Just two areas of constructive criticism …..hanging those curtains high and wide would open the window a bit more, painting the rod bracket from black to brass/gold would have been more cohesive and also painting the white plastic on table legs would have brought it to next level. I too, will never understand how you don’t have more subscribers. Your work, and your team are amazing!

      I agree. A female owned business helping out a female own business along. AG hiring a female owned business to do the amazing floral arrangement. Don't forget the logo was custom made from a female owned business.
      Question - I'm a practical person. I enjoy beauty meets function. Acrylic is wonderful for display yet is a pain due to showing all fingerprints and dust. Speaking of dust - I cringe at all the dust accumulation on the floral arrangement. Did anyone other than me think of these things?

    Fantastic job!!! I love it ☺️🙌
    Two things I would've done differently.
    -Installed drawers where you put the plastic baskets. Not only would it have looked better but those baskets are going to become annoying to constantly dig through.
    -Installed a set of hooks with wider spaces to hold more items.
    Congratulations on another well done space!

    Woow! Every episode is my favorite, ha, ha. Kudos to you and your team, with special mention to Graham (is there anything he cannot build?). As for those negative comments you mention in your introduction to Better Help, just ignore them; they only reflect the internal turmoil and envy of those poor souls who cannot stand to see someone being creative, talented and happy. Bravooo!

    Tears! I start to tear up even before the reveal! This is just so breathtaking! The floral arrangement - Oh! My! Thinking of my living room. It just put the whole aesthetic over the top. The walls - chef's kiss! The table - VA-VA-Boom! So pretty! What a wonderful place to come to everyday. Her clientele will also just feel pretty, calm, serene. Much success for her business.
    Alexandra - I've watched you for years; you have truly upped your game, as your style has become more sophisticated. It is a testament to your growth and maturity as you keep developing that creative eye. Kudos to Team AG for, once again, to creating a beautiful space.

    What a masterpiece! You transformed the space from a walk-in closet to a luxury brand! The wall color and the special tiles on the table! Wow! I do also feel the huge hanging floral makes a beautiful statement, but I worry about dust accumulation! She will need care advice from the florist who designed it, probably, to keep it clean and dust free, but I do love it! Wow!

    I grew up in my great grandfather's saw mill that specialized in inlay furniture, and my grandmother's greenhouse and floristry business, so detail and practicality go hand-in-hand for me. I used to teach in a high-end floristry school as well, in spite of the fact that one of my degree focuses was architecture. I mention these things because i want to contextualize this suggestion. I LOVE what you have done with the space. The peach/terra cotta background will reflect light that will enhance natural skin-tones perfectly. The floral spray is exquisitely crafted. My fear is in durability in a commercial space. I hope the business has a good air circulation system with state-of-the-art filtration dust filters, because preserving the beauty of that floral piece will depend upon such a system. There are portable units you can get for small spaces such as this if the complex does not have a system for the overall space. It can add years to the preservation of that beautiful piece.

    What a beautiful space. But... being a nail tech myself, the flowers above the nail desk, will be dusty before you know it. I know I did see your nail tech have a dust collector, but unless it's a really good one, I see this being replaced.
    I think you missed the mark with the small closed storage. I'm sure Graham could of come up with a better solution. We need tons of storage. Whether it's behind closed doors or bins.
