my great-uncle John h Balsley invented those little metal plates that you attached to the underside tabletop to screw the legs into. He patented them in 1865
Don’t know why, but his reaction made me tear up. Loved the make-over and his story. Also, weird to think that not long ago hugging someone and meeting them like that was normal and safe to do 🥺
I love this! Awesome job meeting client expectations! Everyone complaining about the wallpaper, Declan said he wanted his office to be fun! I’m sure his job doesn’t include heavy serious concentration, instead he needs to stay motivated and stimulated.
That orange colour is fantastic. Love the canvases and the wallpaper. Great makeover! Queen Dolly is the most brilliant touch. I'm so happy for Declan!
Well done, Alexandra, throughout the whole process I was like "noooo, gurl, what are you doing" and then the final effect was stunning! Also it cracked me up how he keeps an Irish gin bottle as a decor piece :D Gunpowder is bae alright :D
I felt the same, I think the bright orange lamp completely shifted the whole room. Once that was in place everything else just clicked, what an amazing transformation!
Alexandra you are a genius!! I love that the makeovers are accessible to anyone who is a little bit handy or willing to try something. Just a joy to watch your vids always!
Wow Alexandra, you nailed this. I wasn't sure about the wallpaper, but knew you'd make it work and boy did you! That portrait of Dolly was over the top awesome. 💞
Love it! I like how you saved time and money not painting the walls but still making it work. At the beginning I was like oh no please paint that horrible baby blue! But the end result is amazing!
Same here; I thought, it could do with some orange in here, as I could see some in the rug, then boom! Just goes to show I should take my own advice, as I always tell my other half off for judging a room mid-way through decorating 😁
I love it, the orange, the wallpaper and the portrait of dolly, so cute. The only thing, I might have painted the walls white, it contrasts well with black and orange.
I was not picking up what you were laying down at first w that wallpaper & rug together w 🍊? Whaaa? And VOILA!!!! Awesomeness!!!!! I love love 💕 it!!! Way to go...AGAIN!!!
I love this office makeover! But I wished you painted those blue walls.. I think it would work much better if you painted them a soft cream color, like a very warm white or light cream/oat color! But the rest turned out fantastic! I love it and so did he! 😊
I love that outfit of yours at 5:22 (black top and orange skirt). It looks formal and casual at the same time, but mainly, you look very cute in that! :)
Thank you sooooo much for not saying, "welcome back to my channel!" at the beginning of this episode. AND this is probably one of my favorite make overs you've done. Girl!!! You do bold really well.
Like the wallpaper - wish the blue wall had been refreshed with a bolder colour from the carpet. The shelves need to be more substantial to balance the wallpaper. Like the orange accents and the rug.
that's awesome! i didn't expect with that blue wall, although Alexandra already explained all. But after seeing the results, i literally spoke "Wow" Great job
Everything about this video is so cute. I never thought blue and orange would look this together. Also how cute is Declan asking permission for Alexandra to let him sniff or hug her. And sis that fit looks amazing!
I like that you pull black and orange from Dolly. Keeping the walls light blue does feel a bit of mismatch at first, but in the end it goes really well with the orange panels.
What a fun, colorful makeover! Dolly is a queen and mood 😂 love the orange, wallpaper, and how you kept the blue walls for the carpet! Totally miss match in a good way!
Dachshunds are not my favourite breed of dog, but I gotta say that Dolly is super cute. Love the transformation and all the bright colour in this room.
We love a man who asks permission before hugging👏👏👏
Hey Alexandra, thanks so much for this. You did an amazing job and you would not believe how much more productive I am in the space. Dolly loves it :)
Pretty sure she loves her portrait
❤️
Awwh, when he asked if he could hug you 🥺 so kind and polite!
I know, right? So sweet of him ☺
I know!! 🥺
I was going to say the same thing. What excellent manners!
Such a gentle soul ❤
Please marry him 😍
I'm SO glad you kept the blue walls! I'm so tired of white walls! The wallpaper is amazing.
my great-uncle John h Balsley invented those little metal plates that you attached to the underside tabletop to screw the legs into. He patented them in 1865
That's so cool!
Wow!!!
He received a patent for an adjustable table leg. In 1865 he received a patent for modifications to the stepladder.
WOW😳👏👏👏👍❤️😀 that is so wonderful!
THAT WALLPAPER IS AMAZING
omg this is like THE BEST reaction to a makeover ever, he seemed so happy that warmed my heart
Don’t know why, but his reaction made me tear up. Loved the make-over and his story. Also, weird to think that not long ago hugging someone and meeting them like that was normal and safe to do 🥺
I agree. My OCD gets worse at times. I realized that I miss hugs 😭😭😭
Katherine Gabrielle I hope you get a warm rejuvenating safe hug soon.
Dolly next to her portrait was everything! So spot on and just the final touch the room needed!!!
Alexandra and Declan are such pleasant and lovely people! Love the makeover and Dolly too😊
Wasn’t sure about the orange...what was I thinking...Alexandra knows!!!! Love the room, of course my favorite was the portrait of Dollie🐶🥰
I love this! Awesome job meeting client expectations!
Everyone complaining about the wallpaper, Declan said he wanted his office to be fun! I’m sure his job doesn’t include heavy serious concentration, instead he needs to stay motivated and stimulated.
That orange colour is fantastic. Love the canvases and the wallpaper. Great makeover! Queen Dolly is the most brilliant touch. I'm so happy for Declan!
Oh my gosh Declan and Dolly are so blooming lovely. This was such a great episode
Ugh, what a wholesome episode. I was smiling so hard during the reveal. Dolly is so cute!
Well done, Alexandra, throughout the whole process I was like "noooo, gurl, what are you doing" and then the final effect was stunning! Also it cracked me up how he keeps an Irish gin bottle as a decor piece :D Gunpowder is bae alright :D

Love the mustard accents, the desk, wallpaper and the Dolly portrait! Also the rug goes really well with the blue walls!
Declan seems so nice! Loved this makeover, so fun!!
💖💖💖💖💖 we could see the excitement in this gentleman 👍🏻👍🏻 Dear Alexandra, You've Always Carved a Smile on other's faces, Bless Your Kind Heart 💖💖💖💖💖
What a fun space!!! And Dolly 😍.
Love the bold wallpaper! Baby blue walls and faded colors carpet doesn't go at all with the modern vibe you started with . Still love your usual work.
Lovvvveeeee the prints and wallpaper prints!! I’m sure Dolly approves 💕
Dolly can see herself for the Queen she is! You go, girl!
Love the orange accents. Orange really is the most fun color.
So much fun! So good to have you back.back. Back!
This was daring and paid off big time!
Love all the bright pops of orange. Wish the blue was a little richer in tone but that Queen Dolly print is priceless
his new space feels so happy and vibrant! love it!
The hug part was def a reminder of "the good ol days". That portrait was awesome and loved the orange.
I just love seeing his reaction!! That most be so rewarding for you as well 😍 I also love that you made over a mans office - it's always the girls!
Love Declan and Dolly!!!!
I’m all smiles over this makeover!
Alexandra you are a genius!! I love that the makeovers are accessible to anyone who is a little bit handy or willing to try something. Just a joy to watch your vids always!

I am loving to see you making a room for a guy. Good work and different style!
Loved this episode and the portrait of Dolly.
I love that you post these videos at the time I’m heading to chill in my bed before sleep time (I’m in the UK) Perfect way to end the day 🥰
This room is sooo cool!! The dog portrait is the best 😂❤️
I love it, the orange, the wallpaper and the portrait of dolly, so cute. The only thing, I might have painted the walls white, it contrasts well with black and orange.
She explained the reasons she decided to keep the blue walls. And it ties in with the rug.
Not all rooms will look their best with white walls.
Can I have a hug? Of course you can! 😭😭 Precovid hits different. (Also awesome room!!!!)
I was not picking up what you were laying down at first w that wallpaper & rug together w 🍊? Whaaa? And VOILA!!!! Awesomeness!!!!! I love love 💕 it!!! Way to go...AGAIN!!!

Agreed, but I'd have loved to see it even warmer, like a rust. The light blue didn't pull the rug and the bold wallpaper together.
This is one of my favorite videos. So cute!!
So much fun! Love the playful vibe balanced just right.
I love that outfit of yours at 5:22 (black top and orange skirt). It looks formal and casual at the same time, but mainly, you look very cute in that! :)
This is the sweetest episode in the whole series!!! Love it!!
His sweet reaction was the best! Loved how you changed that place
This is the definition of vintage eclectic without going too overboard. Nice and simple steps to make a fun office.
Wow this really shows how broad your range of decor ideas are ! Amazing 👍👍👍
By far my favorite makeover
Anything with a fur Bb is a winner 😊 Great design, as always 😊
Oooh this is definitely more my vibe, love the bold orange :)
Thank you sooooo much for not saying, "welcome back to my channel!" at the beginning of this episode. AND this is probably one of my favorite make overs you've done. Girl!!! You do bold really well.
Yes! More color!
Nice and bold.. love the colours!
Yay Princess Dolly!
Love love the colour!!!!!!!!!! So bright and alive!!!
Omg the last shot with dolly and her portrait... This is a painting goal!!!!!
Sara Nena DIY.
Like the wallpaper - wish the blue wall had been refreshed with a bolder colour from the carpet. The shelves need to be more substantial to balance the wallpaper. Like the orange accents and the rug.
I wasn't sure what to expect with the orange but the room looks awesome!
So great to see you step out of your usual style! Loved this and it looks like Declan does too!
Sooo Love your blog
love your style and your giggles tou make my day!
Oooooo girl! I have a teeny makeshift home studio and you’ve so inspired me to redo it! And the sound reducing panels?! Genius!!!
I loved it!!!!!!!! I love modern decor with pops of color!! I was hoping for you to use some warm tones and you used that orange panels! So awesome!
that's awesome! i didn't expect with that blue wall, although Alexandra already explained all. But after seeing the results, i literally spoke "Wow" Great job
I like this room. Love how you pulled out the color of his lamp into the room. Really well done :)
Fab makeover, I'm in stitches at Dolly's side eyes to you Alexandra
Nailed it! Such a fresh invigorating looking work space!
Loved this makeover .... especially the wall paper and those pops of that awesome orange colour!!!
this room has such a cool and fun vibe now. Good job!
I had doubts about the wall paper with the blue wall but it turned out soooo good!!
Such great vibes in this video!! 🧡😍
Love the pet portrait and fabric covered canvas boards.
Everything about this video is so cute. I never thought blue and orange would look this together. Also how cute is Declan asking permission for Alexandra to let him sniff or hug her. And sis that fit looks amazing!
Blue and orange are opposite colours on the colour wheel therefore they are complementary in a vibrant way.
So like you left the blue!
I thought the portrait was already his own, so cool to give it as a gift!
For me, Dolly totally stole this episode. Sorry, Alexandra 😄
Love the space and it makes me happy to see Declans happiness (i really don‘t know how to say that in english 😂)
Very talented Alexandra! I was like “eurgh nooo!” at the wallpaper/pale blue paint/rug combo but you totally made it work brilliantly
I like that you pull black and orange from Dolly. Keeping the walls light blue does feel a bit of mismatch at first, but in the end it goes really well with the orange panels.
Excellent choices!
What a fun, colorful makeover! Dolly is a queen and mood 😂 love the orange, wallpaper, and how you kept the blue walls for the carpet! Totally miss match in a good way!
Super cute!
This was such a bright room! I loved it
Love the placement of the instruments and love the desk!!! Outstanding orange!
Those legs are amazing and I love the wood grain peeping through, the color is so fun 🧡
You're adorable, simple and unique.
This is beautiful. One of my favourites.
Too stinkin’ CUTE!!! The makeover was also cool😁👍🏼 Love Princess Dolly😍🐶👑♥️
Queen Dolly!!! Love it!
This turned out great!! And Declan seemed thrilled! I love that he asked before hugging you.
Dachshunds are not my favourite breed of dog, but I gotta say that Dolly is super cute. Love the transformation and all the bright colour in this room.
Good one AG!
Love the space! So fresh and happy. Want to create that desk. What is the drawer cabinet the desktop is resting on?
Cheryl, it looks like the IKEA “Alex” to me.
So CUTE!!!
sooooo cute!
Such an amazing transformation!!!
This makeover was so different. You pulled together a unique look. 😁🌻
On another note, your curly hairs are awesome here ❣❣❣
