    I am a retired, early senior, and enjoy your station. Although you appear to be tailoring your videos more to your own demographic, I realized today (as I relax in Morocco) that many senior women have the same budget and decorating issues: smaller incomes and a lot of things that we want to display as we move into downsized spaces. (However, for myself, my days of using pink are some decades ago.) I would like to see you broaden your own demographics by talking about the differences in what paint colors that could be used that may be more attractive to older women. I use a very warm grey, that goes with any grey, taupe, etc. You might look for a taupe-y grey, a lush navy and warm medium green to recommend as an alternative to your viewers.
    Also, the issue for downsizing is not thrifting something new, it is picking the right pieces to keep. I recently moved from a larger home to a studio apartment: downsizing to something more manageable. I needed, however, a lot of storage so that I could keep more of the things collected from a lifetime. So, I either left, sold or gave away most of my furniture and purchased IKEA (the best flat-pack furniture I have found) bedroom furniture. I have a lot of original art that fills the walls that have been purchased over the years. It is colorful and busy, so I chose Malmo, which you chose for this pink bedroom. I used the nightstand, although in the black-brown, the bed that lifts for storage, and four of the six-drawer dressers; the low profile helps to open up a small busy space. One of the 6-drawer dresses was used as a divider between the bedroom and living area and the remaining three I lined up along the longest wall end-to-end and looks like they are one installed piece; these house everything from dining linens, travel accessories and electronics. If you can envision this layout, you might see that our styles are not very different, I’m just a grandmother.
    Congratulations on your station and success. I can see your growth and development and applaud you highlighting other working women in your programs. Just consider giving a few tips regarding color changes (your choice of other great colors, like picking that fabulous pink from Benjamin Moore) on your makeover videos that could expand your audience from a younger demographic to include many more seniors. I look forward to seeing your LA programs.

      Just a note about colors in a bedroom, since as we age our skin can have imperfections , I find that colors like pinks make skin look better. Blue would make varicose veins more apparent for example.

      I am 68 and downsized. Kept a lot of original art collected over years, but softening my look with original designs in quilts made by me. It is softer and more me than my other spaces were. When I retired, I realized that my original artwork didn't fit my own home!

  • @beckiblack859
    @beckiblack859 5 років тому +161

    I love that you color-coordinated her jewelry. Even if it were still up on the wall, just doing that makes it look so much more sophisticated and beautiful and less cluttery.

    • @lilMissAdoria
      @lilMissAdoria 4 роки тому +1

      I agree, and it seems like it's wasting a lot of concealed storage space being the only thing in that full sized drawer.🤔

    Good call on the shelf above her closet. If it wasn’t there, it would look cold and meh. What a great way to add decor without cluttering the space. Now it added more appeal to the room. Bravo Alexandra!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    I love that you take time to appreciate the pieces they have already put into their spaces, even if you end up changing them or using them in a different way. I think it shows your consideration for people's individuality while also contributing your own mix and expertise to things! I love your channel.

  • @i.e.presents638
    @i.e.presents638 5 років тому +1

    Knocked it out of the park! The OOTD hook, the jewelry display drawers, the use of YELLOW with pink, the sunflower sconce*, that SHELF, and even the perfect pink paint for a fabulous gal who loves pink. Bravo!

  • @KO-D00M
    @KO-D00M 5 років тому +4

    Great room transformation! The changes elevated the initial "juvenile" ambiance to "fun adult" which I believe suits the owner's personality, as she does exude whimsical with a sophisticated edge!

    I don't have a small bedroom or a condo but I LOVE THE ideas you've presented here. Alexandra, I discovered you during this dreadful pandemic and quarantine (I'm from NYC!) and you have inspired me and motivated me greatly. The sadness and angst of everything is sometimes really overwhelming but your smile and your style (that rhymes!) have really made a difference in my life and space right now. I have so many things to fix in my apt. and have an arsenal of great ideas thanks to you. thank you so much. Truly, Liz

    That room is ridiculously good. The shelf over the closet - who would think of that? It’s perfect! And the way you corralled all the earrings in such an organized yet absolutely beautiful way - I’m redoing my jewelry this week based on your idea. Damn, this is so good.

  • @rubberdc
    @rubberdc 4 роки тому +1

    In the first 3 minutes of this video, I am inundated with HOW excited you are to update this room! I think i would have moved her bed slightly over towards the wardrobes so she could stand at her windows and be able to walk about . two bedside tables and a headboard of some kind, would have softened the room more. SO excited again at 5.15 ( edit please ) the set of drawers are beautiful and very stylish .At 6.45 again with the excitement ? I lie the overhead shelf idea , you could have added led lights in the shape of either plantlife or chinese lanterns.At 13.28 again SO EXCITED ( scream). I agree with Susan Gill, that a mirror IS needed , even if its just to bounce light around . I did a thumbs up , because your client was very happy .

  • @hollyhasegawa6095
    @hollyhasegawa6095 5 років тому +1

    Loved this makeover, I love that if you have space above a doorway or closet you can hang a shelf, it is space that often gets overlooked. The whole room does look more open and better organized, I am in the process of doing the exact same thing, and having a floor length mirror in your bedroom it has to be placed in the right spot, because it is bad feng shui to have mirrors in the wrong places. I love the color pink and if it fit in my bedroom would use it, but my favorite color is purple so I have been using purples and reds and bits of pinks, and will be painting my walls a soft white to blend with the different shades of purples, and maybe I could paint one of the walls a soft pink. Thanks Alexandra, this was a fun makeover.

    @fennibai8485 5 років тому +4

    Ooh la la...What a gorgeous make over Alexandra! That is one of my favourite video! I'm in awe because everything looks so pretty and cosy. I like how you always leave some room for people to add the extra practical bits they need; it doesn't bother me there is no mirror in the make over or that you didn't change the curtains... at the end of the day, Sarah Anne will add whatever she needs in that bedroom later. The place now has got a cohesive style and a beautiful simplicity. Definitely a HUGE thumbs up for the lighting, you're right about it, it just make the ambiance in the room perfect! GREAT JOB! Bravo!

  • @kgaletin

    The night table should be on wheels, so Sarah can move it out of the way when she accesses the drawer under her bed.

    Nailed it!!!! The painted headboard made the room feel so much bigger. Girly yet sophisticated, flower lamp- love it. The shelf over the wardrobe 👌🏼it brought the small space to life and gave the room height by drawing the eyes up , perfectly balances the painted headboard.

    You did a great job. You asked about pink bedrooms and I am 75 and have had a pink bedroom more often than not. My husband liked it too. I always used a very soft pink, like the inside of a sea shell. It is such an easy color to wake up with. Also a relaxing color to wind down at night.

    SO CUTE. I've been needing a solution for my PJs and that hook by the closet idea is perfect! The earrings drawers: at first I was thinking "Aww what a waste of drawers!" But when you showed all the earrings inside, it made me so happy, her earrings are so cute 😍 that light, I need.

    • @GreenWhimsy
      @GreenWhimsy 5 років тому +3

      The way the earrings are organized, I could see them up on the walls in some pattern on the cork circles. Maybe not all of them but those colors that would bring out some of the uniqueness in the room.

    I love the way that pink lamp gives a glow to that entire side of the room, so it kind of looks like both walls are pink without being overpowering. And the string of pearls plant hanging over that face pot like hair is really genius!
    I followed the link to that ModCloth coat and realized it’s the one my mom has in black. (My mom is super cool! 😉) Can verify that it is adorable in person.

  • @pamelaatkinson5710
    @pamelaatkinson5710 5 років тому +1

    Lots of improvements to this room! Love the shelf over the closet and how you filled it, the flower light, the dresser and night stand. Not a fan of lights without shades. Wondered if she needed sheer curtains for the window but saw she had shades that pulled down. Love what you did with the cork and the earrings and the clear organizers. Love the runner you chose. Surprised by the pillows but see how the gold compliments the flower light and the pink is subtly in the rectangular pillow. Love the quote in the frame but not the font. Good job!

    Hi Alexandra, I love the way you make everything come together in a room to feel more cohesive. In terms of vlogging, I would love to see you out and about showing how makeover rooms and your own rooms look different in the daytime compared to the evening. You have really opened my eyes up to the role lighting can play but I sometimes feel my rooms are too set up for the daytime and don't feel cosy enough later on. :-)

    The shelf above closet is a great idea, and looks awesome. A fresh and pretty, as well as relaxing room. Maybe a metal white, pink, or even black (to tie in with black specks in throw rug) wall hook for the hanging of clothes wood look more complimentary. The natural wood seems out of place. Lovely.

    Hi from a (relatively) new fan in Bloomingdale, Illinois!! Your videos are awesome and I so enjoy watching how much you clearly enjoy what you do - and girl you do it well!! I don’t know what you think your demographics are but I’m a 57 year old business woman who is thoroughly enjoying watching the design art you do AND how much you enjoy doing it! You are definitely going places lady, keep doing what you do because you are going far - no doubt! You are FEARLESS!!!

    Oh my God. A corkboard for your studs is GENIUS. I'm borrowing that idea.

    So flipping cute! I’m inspired by the jewelry organization, the clever plant shelf, and all the gorgeous lighting.
