    "Since college is over now, I can no longer put bare posters on the wall, I need to put them in frames. I'm an adult now. I recognize that."
    I feel you, Nick. =)) Nick had the best side commentary about this whole process!

      I agree that would be an awesome series and pretty certain his fiance would be on board she obviously wants to change up the living room.

    The drawers made it look so clean! By switching the walls to the lower part, filled up and the high part empty, made this space 10 x bigger. Xico is a brilliant help.

      Even an evaporative cooler cube would be great. I got one this summer for under 50, and it's been a lifesaver. Mine plugs into the mains, but I think I've seen portable ones that charge up via USB. That would free up a power socket.

    Woah. Loved the transformation. Assembling IKEA cabinets in his lap while sitting in his new comfy chair- EPIC. I agree with the other multiple responses stating that Nick is ready for his own channel. He is a gem. Take on another room for them so we can see more of Nick, please.

    Oh wow what a transformation! The place literally expanded post makeover and so much more practical storage. Loving the desk! Also loving the minimal, clean, efficient paraphernalia free look. Different from her usual pompoms/ pillows/pattern heavy looks that I do love, but this room just needed this minimalist approach. Way to go Alexandra! 😍😍

    I loved this and also, please convince Nick to create his UA-cam channel, especially considering that he already is a videographer. He is hilarious and would be a fun channel.
    Also, maybe transform his entire home and make it a series :)) both of them are really nice.

    I think this is my favourite MMSW episode to date, mostly because it's so relatable. My office is also dark and weirdly shaped (and cold too) and looks cluttered AF because I have open shelving everywhere. Soooo much inspiration here! Also, well done to Nick, he seems like a great guy. Alexandra, hire him for filming! Xico killing it as usual, this man should have his own DIY channel :)

    How am I just realizing two years later that Alexandra has a whole other channel? Sorry to be so out of it! Please promote your additional channels more on your main channel, so we can follow you everywhere and help your subscriber numbers rise! Love Team AG! What a great transformation here! Sorry that lockdown meant Nick and his fiancé had to miss out on all the help from Team AG, but they were very funny and pleasant to watch as they opened and put together all of the surprises. I was happy to see most of the storage move to the shorter wall, opening up all that space on the taller side of that angled ceiling! It definitely makes the whole room feel brighter and more spacious along with the white walls and rug! It took me a while to realize there were three low, black, storage-drawer pieces. Love how well it works for him! He’s not the only person to put an IKEA product together upside down! Been there! 😂😂

(Stereotyped by scruffy beard and hair.) lol. Bravo to both of you! It is a great transformation. Can't believe the shadow and darkness the black shelves brought into the space. Love the blue storage cabinets!!!! Love the light wood desk, the chair and the rug, and LOVE the tribute to CHICO!!!! He has been an integral part of your success and so glad you honor him and his contributions. The space just looks so sharp and professional and it looks like it has lifted a cloud from over Nick's head! Great job all around.
