Hi Make My Space Work fam 👋
We are back with another REAL LIFE makeover 👏 but please note that this episode was filmed PRIOR to physical distancing regulations. Enjoy ✨
What if your business was fun and filled with character, but your workspace felt... drab? This is the exact scenario Declan found himself in. He quit his corporate job to start his business, The Barking Sausage - a pet store in honor of his Dachshund, Dolly. Declan finds it difficult to motivate himself and build his business in his bland office. Alexandra has some pretty daring ideas to take Declan’s space from boring to brilliant but will it be too much 🔥? Watch to find out!

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 😍
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!
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.
Wasn’t sure about the orange...what was I thinking...Alexandra knows!!!! Love the room, of course my favorite was the portrait of Dollie🐶🥰
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!
For me, Dolly totally stole this episode. Sorry, Alexandra 😄
Can I have a hug? Of course you can! 😭😭 Precovid hits different. (Also awesome room!!!!)
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.
Dolly next to her portrait was everything! So spot on and just the final touch the room needed!!!
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!
Ugh, what a wholesome episode. I was smiling so hard during the reveal. Dolly is so cute!
Declan seems so nice! Loved this makeover, so fun!!
Love the mustard accents, the desk, wallpaper and the Dolly portrait! Also the rug goes really well with the blue walls!
Oh my gosh Declan and Dolly are so blooming lovely. This was such a great episode
This room is sooo cool!! The dog portrait is the best 😂❤️
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 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! 😊
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.
Lovvvveeeee the prints and wallpaper prints!! I’m sure Dolly approves 💕
Love all the bright pops of orange. Wish the blue was a little richer in tone but that Queen Dolly print is priceless
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 🥰
The hug part was def a reminder of "the good ol days". That portrait was awesome and loved the orange.
I'm SO glad you kept the blue walls! I'm so tired of white walls! The wallpaper is amazing.
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.
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 am loving to see you making a room for a guy. Good work and different style!
What a fun space!!! And Dolly 😍.
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!
I like this room. Love how you pulled out the color of his lamp into the room. Really well done :)
💖💖💖💖💖 we could see the excitement in this gentleman 👍🏻👍🏻 Dear Alexandra, You've Always Carved a Smile on other's faces, Bless Your Kind Heart 💖💖💖💖💖
This is the definition of vintage eclectic without going too overboard. Nice and simple steps to make a fun office.
Love the orange accents. Orange really is the most fun color.
Dolly really wasn’t giving you the weird eye 👀, it’s just that she knew the camera had her bad side.
How dare you, say, that Dolly has a bad side 😋
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 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! :)
Alexandra and Declan are such pleasant and lovely people! Love the makeover and Dolly too😊
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. 💞
his new space feels so happy and vibrant! love it!
This was daring and paid off big time!
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.
Very talented Alexandra! I was like “eurgh nooo!” at the wallpaper/pale blue paint/rug combo but you totally made it work brilliantly
Dolly can see herself for the Queen she is! You go, girl!
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.
Loved this episode and the portrait of Dolly.
I thought the portrait was already his own, so cool to give it as a gift!
So much fun! So good to have you back.back. Back!
Love the space and it makes me happy to see Declans happiness (i really don‘t know how to say that in english 😂)
Love Declan and Dolly!!!!
Yes! More color!
I’m all smiles over this makeover!
Yay Princess Dolly!
So CUTE!!!
Queen Dolly!!! Love it!
Love everything about this!😍
sooooo cute!
Super cute!
I had doubts about the wall paper with the blue wall but it turned out soooo good!!
Loved the part when they zoomed in on her Declan and the portrait
This was such a bright room! I loved it
Amazing, as always!
Looks great !!!
THAT WALLPAPER IS AMAZING
Love love the colour!!!!!!!!!! So bright and alive!!!
By far my favorite makeover
Anything with a fur Bb is a winner 😊 Great design, as always 😊
Excellent choices!
Nice and bold.. love the colours!
Loved the pop of orange.
Love it ❤️
I hated the wallpaper at first and I'm still not in love with it, but it's growing on me. The colors, including the orange, were perfect and really picked up the colors in Dollie's portrait.
Love this!
I wasn't sure what to expect with the orange but the room looks awesome!
Such an amazing transformation!!!
This is seriously adorable. ❤
This is the sweetest episode in the whole series!!! Love it!!
