    I am a US Veteran and there is nothing wrong with releasing a video on your promised release date. I do not even participate in most Veteran events in my town unless specifically corralled into doing so by an event organizer.
    On another note, really enjoyed this episode. Loved what you did with the space. I think if you ever saw my space, you would really cry as you spoke of the kitchen makeover. That desk looks like it could function as a dinner table if she ever had any guests over. I would want to have a second desk chair.

    Love the result, but I wished the makeover incorporated the iMac or large computer screen. It really hard to design around those, but they are so necessary for many of us.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear James 🎶💜
    Wall paper tip. When you get to an inside corner, don't wrap around to the next wall without cutting. Wrap around the corner, start your next piece in the corner (overlapping slightly on the first wall), cut both pieces vertically in one cut, and remove the overlap sections. That way the paper won't shrink when it dries looking curved against the wall in the corner. And you won't have a visible crack showing the wall behind, either.
    Btw, this paper looks more like a strippable than a peel and stick...
    Surprised to see you using spray adhesive for the trim without protecting the floor!
    The office space is an improvement, because it's tidier, looks polished, has a great light fixture and because the old pink colour wasn't right.
    Yet... something isn't quite wow for me. I think it needs a plant.
    I wonder where the stuff all went and if she will miss her ergonomic chair?
    Don't love the lamp cord switch situation and since there isn't anything plugged into the wall outlet, I wonder if it is even plugged in.
    The chair blanket is wrong to me - maybe green to tie in with the living room instead?
    No cute waste basket?
    And please paint out the shelf logos; it makes them look cheap.
    Without seeing it in person, the wall paper looks a bit clash-y with the living room colour, and if it were mine I think I would tire of it being so busy.
    She had some lovely art showing in the before, just waiting to be hung, and the art hung there now is disappointing by comparison. I would have tried to work around what she had.
    I can see why you chose the baskets to tie in the black and the caning, but I don't like the dark colour drawing my eye up to the ceiling shadows.

    Really like the warmth the wallpaper brings and the desk is really nice. It feels like there were a couple missed opportunities - the desk could have been made into a double duty dining room table/desk by including a couple more chairs (like maybe the hanging chairs used in James' makeover). I also feel like it would have been really nice to have put a cute china cabinet or buffet on the wall where the floating organizers are instead - for more storage but also for more cuteness/warmth.

    That wallpaper is indeed gorgeous. However, I do have a small suggestion. I found out the hard way in an old apartment that leaving the edges of wallpaper raw at a corner like that can result in damage to the wallpaper edge. What I did was seal the edges with a narrow wood trim that wrapped around the corner and was a good match for the wood in the parquet floor in that apartment. Of course, one could use a trim made of some other material to match the decor if that works better. But I would suggest you seal those edges to be on the safe side.
    Looking forward to next week's episode!

I’m not sure if the lamp was plugged in. If it is I would love to know how the cord was handled. I couldn’t see where it was plugged into the wall. I like having my desk facing into the room as well, but I hate the cord run to the wall.

    Ok, respect for veterans is 💯always and forever. Without veterans we wouldn’t be watching Team AG on You Tube. Our lives as we know them would not exist. To me, the funny thing is, on Veterans Day we watch TV, we listen to music, we laugh, play, etc. So why wouldn’t we watch You Tube? Honoring Veterans Day, or whatever holiday it is, doesn’t mean life shuts down. I just don’t get all the noise. When did we become so judgmental of each other? We need to stand together. Especially over this nothing burger. My dad was a Vietnam Vet. Nothing and no one can tarnish his service or sacrifice.

      You don’t have to tell the whole world you are honoring your veterans. So I can feel disrespected when UA-camrs upload their video on the day when we honor our ancestors? In fact it is not 1 day, it’s the entire month. So I should request UA-cam to stop service for the month of July else people of our ethnicity will be disrespected.

    I've been watching a while I think this is my first post. I love the wall paper, but was terrified for you. Not a huge fan of the white storage things all across one wall. There's not a lot of versatility. She had mentioned floating shelves which would give her a chance for some personal identity. Hanging baskets under the shelves could have held papers. This looks like something i would have used in my classroom and the rest of the wall is ignored. And then everything is white. Alexandra... i love your sense of color and a plant even if its fake. This is beautiful wallpaper and a lot of white accessories. And the desk from the dining nook makeover.
    The living room is amazing, its lush with texture and subtle uses of color. This new wall paper is a wonderful compliment and its an office, next ... 😕❤

    I’m usually amazed at all the beautiful small space transformations that you and your team manage to pull off and look forward to watching all your videos. However, on this transformation I was left feeling a little disappointed as the desk and its placement isn’t very practical for most people. What happened to her computer that was in the “before version”, it was noticeably absent from the desk. Will you have her using a laptop instead? Additionally, I noticed a hole in the desk to conceal the electrical cord for the lamp but where was the electrical outlet? Hmmm…..
