Do you have any tips on how to organize space with a new born baby. My sister is 23 and has a 2 week old baby. She lives with my mom, and there is no space. My moms room is in the living room, and my sister stays in the room with her boyfriend, and baby. Any tips would help. My sister deserves the world and I would love to see her room transformed. Right now there’s boxes everywhere from all the diapers they rescued at the baby shower. And very limited space to walk. Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.
It feels surreal to see the box I packed and sent half across the world - from Ukraine to Canada. I'm so glad it arrived safe and sound - tons and tons of plastic wrap was all worth it!)) I was so so excited to help with this, thank you for the trust!
I got teary-eyed at that part. Amazing it arrived in time! How where you able to get her things? I assumed her home got destroyed. She was just not able to return there?
That was so amazing that you did that for them!! I do wish they showed her seeing the box full of items from home but it was really lovely when she realized those were her books from home. They seem really lovely and I hope they find all the happiness in Canada! You really an amazing friend!!
I will never be able to wrap my head around having to flee my country with just a suitcase of clothes. This is such an important makeover for this deserving, lovely couple. I wish them all the happiness that life has to offer. Great job Team AG!
I wish Alexandra was my neighbor, I promise I wouldn't wear out my welcome. I doubt if she's ev coming to Colorado. Anywho I love and watching everything. What a welcoming to these beautiful ladies. So happy you helped them get a new start. Welcome welcome welcome......
Alexandra could have made the title of this video a clickbait so easily. But she didn't. She kept it content-driven. That's the mark of an amazing human being and an amazing artist. Love from India ❤️
I’m a queer Ukrainian, so needless to say this had me crying the whole time. I just want to say what a kind and thoughtful touch it was to get some of the personal items sent from Kyiv. I imagine this meant the world to them both. Thank you for doing this makeover, thank you for bringing attention to the war and the refugee experience, thank you for approaching this heart first. It was so special to watch, and came out beautifully as always! And Aleksandra and Maryna, if you’re reading, welcome to Toronto and Canada! I hope the city feels as welcoming and safe for you as it has for me and that you’re able to feel rooted in this beautiful space Team AG created 💗.
You ought to meet up with them. Friends are important to refugees, but having others who have been handed the same plight, can become family. Prayers for all of you and for Ukraine.❤️
This is such a special makeover. Not only does it look beautiful, but to be able to add the items that were shipped from friends and add the bar cart. This couple went through so much between the war and prejudice in their young lives. It's wonderful for them to have this happy time. Team AG! Well done!
@@cjs1440 Alexandra's message that is WRITTEN in her welcome paragraph is EXACTLY WHAT SHE TOLD US VERBALLY IB THE SHOW ..... SO NOT A SCAM. DID YOU NOT "HEAR" HER COMMERCIAL ON IT?
This episode gave me all the feels. I cried about three times when you were talking about the friends packaging up Marina's things and sending them to Canada. Cannot even imagine how difficult fleeing their country would have been. Such a touching story and of course beautifully executed by Team AG!
I would never guess alexandra would bring attention to this war, its amazing that you use your platform to help and spread awareness. I hope alexandra and maryna can make a new life now and find happiness away from their original home ❤
It must have been a lot that they’ve been gone through. Finally settling down and being able to get married and have a new life together in Canada! Thanks Team AG for doing this makeover for them and let them feel homey in a new environment❤
I cannot imagine how it feels to be displaced and have to leave everything you own behind. What you have done for this couple will be life changing for them. Congratulations Alexandra and team, you have outdone yourselves again❤️
I literally cried the moment you brought the art picturing map of Ukraine - haven’t been home since 2014…. This makeover was very special to me 🥹 much love from Ukraine, team AG 💙💛
Queer Ukrainian here and so overwhelmed with happiness for this gorgeous couple. Thank you forever for doing this for them. You have mended pieces of my heart.
Im so sorry this beautiful couple had to go through so much just to be able to be together. Im so happy they were chosen for this beautiful makeover, you did an incredible job as always Team AG ❤✨
honestly Alexandra, this is probably my favorite video of yours, and i have seen most if not all your vids. i am just so beyond thankful that you were brave enough to bring awareness to the continued heinous war on Ukraine via your channel. so many other influencers and celebs won't, for whatever reason, but you have. it has not gone unnoticed! you are using your platform to not only inspire others via decor, but to educate others. you gifted this amazingly strong & resilient couple a gorgeous space, a space of their own after almost 8 months of uncertainty seeking shelter. and you also showed them so much humanity & normality. i'm legit in tears. i'm so happy to have been a sub of yours for YEARS! and i legit want to work for you someday, bc wow, you seem like such a stand-up business owner & human, truly. sending you so much love & light! xoxo
Thank you so much for helping out. My boyfriend is an immigrant from Ukraine and his parents fled Kyiv and now live with us in Canada. It's been a difficult year for so many of us, so thank you for doing this for them ❤️
Am I the only dork who noticed the TARDIS sitting on the top shelf? It's official, they are the coolest couple ever. I wish them the best of luck while they're in Canada and hopefully, when they are able to return to a free, independent Ukraine💛💙
This couple totally deserved this makeover. Poland has been accepting refugees but they’re stance on LGBTQ issues is frankly beyond backwards. It’s a part of my country I am not proud of. I also wanted to say I have this couch in this exact size and it is the most comfortable to sleep on. I absolutely love it.
it's really sad that there are still so many places in the world that do not accept the lgbtq+ community and that do not give them the same rights as straight people (btw it's their not they're in the context you used the word in :))
It makes us all feel good to know that they are safe, together, and can feel at home during what has to be a profoundly tumultuous time. Well done! Thank you for making this beautiful couple smile.
I usually skip the renter-chat part.. But that one is so special for me.. AG team thank you for attention to Ukraine renters With love and respect from Russia
First time I’ve cried watching a makeover So happy they are safe and are able to have the freedom to get married. I’m from 🇺🇸 just want to say kudos to Canada for welcoming them to their new home. Prayers to those still in Ukraine 🇺🇦
Ok AG this is one of my favorites. Beauty of room aside...there is no room in this world for ostrisizing others. You gave these lovely women back thier respect and dignity. Happy years to all.
This made me extremely happy. Thank you for shedding light onto the situation in Ukraine. I feel like I was getting media fatigue, but you shining light onto the people who are directly affected makes the story feel so personal. Thank you for what you do team AG!
Have been binge watching your channel, this makeover is the best yet. When you opened the box of personal items, I cried. That was so thoughtful of you. Instant fan.
"That tickles my fancy, for sure." 😂 Alexandra! Wow, wow, wow. My heart is so full of joy after watching this makeover for such a lovely, deserving couple. You blended their two styles perfectly! Job well done, Team AG. I may or may not have cried... like, twice.
Judging from people I have known who had to leave Ukraine either in about 1920 or others in 30s and knowing where their un- expected helps came from and knowing how they were able each group to then give back several fold to their new country, I am touched beyond measure to see your work and that Milanote sponsoring company helped. Thank you all for giving this couple the chance to belong.
YASSSS TEAM AG! Wow! Did anyone else cry immediately?! PLEEEEASE do more of these!! A new series perhaps - Making Home Away From Home?! Maybe we could crowdfund to do a few virtual makeovers for others who are settling outside of Toronto or are low on funds and wouldn't be able to do one on their own? This feels like a very cool opportunity to help families settle into their new homes and find community while being supported directly by their new Canadian friends. Very proud of your team & the work you did here! Will watch again once my weeping ends. Well done!
Outstanding Alexandra! Thanks for persevering on a difficult make over where you over came several challenges. Giving these 2 ladies a place to call home is wonderful. Shout out to all the peoples of the world that need to flee for their lives and the lives of their families, whether from Ukraine, Central or South America or anywhere in the world. Let all practice kindness and love. So many of us are so privileged to be safe.
I have only gotten thru the intro of these amazing women besides tears in my eyes, my thoughts and heart go to what they have experienced! ....having only what was packed into a vacation suitcase! And the shelters they have been in since March! Incredible story! Ok now I'll watch the transformation which I know will be fabulous! Omg love the make over!
What a beautiful transformation of their apartment. The AG Team did an amazing job for them. It was an extremely touching episode. The fact that you thought to get things from the Ukraine sent to them literally brought tears to my eyes. The apartment looks so good. The best thing said was that the place felt like home. So beautiful.
When I read “emotional” in the title, I figured there would be tears… didn’t think they’d be MINE WITHIN THE FIRST 10MIN! ❤ such a lovely thing to be able to get some of their belongings from back home. It’s soooooo so special. Great job team AG! I love the work you all do and how much work and love goes into all the makeovers
I was already crying before I saw the reveal - 15 shelters since March - may this lovely couple find peace and friendship in Canada and may their family and friends in Ukraine stay safe 💙💛
This was wonderful! Beautiful job for a couple who have suffered too much. They fled from the Russian invasion but couldn’t get help in Poland because they’re lesbians (the irony of being told to go back to Russia - so dangerous there for anyone LGBTQ), then more fleeing for a loving couple just trying to find a home. Yay Canada for opening your doors and yay Team AG for making their space into the home they’ve been wanting!
Alexandra's kindness is my favorite part about her videos! She has such a caring heart and I love that she shows so much diversity when she's picking clients for room makeovers
you and your team just make the world a better place. thank you. the "after" reveal...simply gorgeous...stunning. and this couple's story...heartbreaking...this couple's reaction to the room...joyous and priceless.
Thank you so much for giving them a home they feel comfortable in! They deserve this and more. I really teared up in this video this was such a kind thing to do! 🙏⭐️
This couple SO deserved this! Fleeing your home and country with just a suitcase? I can't imagine doing that. May this couple find acceptance, happiness and kindness in their future!
Thank you Alexsandra and team , for finding and helping this sweet couple. They needed a big shot of HOPE and you guys gave it to them. I cannot imagine facing what they have been through on so many levels. .It turned out Beautiful.Peace & Love to all....🥰😘
I'm tearing up watching this. What a beautiful gesture to have family and friends involved in setting up the new home. Love! Wishing them a wonderful and peaceful new life in Canada!
I do not even know who enjoyed it more. Girls or Alexandra. She so clearly was happy to make this project special, she so enjoyed the process of making girls happy. I enjoyed your channel for the sole purpose of talented makeovers, but this is special. I myself came to Canada last July and had been treated wonderfully by people here. 🇺🇦❤️🇨🇦
My favourite makeover ever. Welcome to Canada! I hope you are able to have the best Canadian/Ukrainian wedding ever. Wishing you peace and joy and friendships from our country that you can cherish for a lifetime.
This was incredibly touching Alexandra. I want to hug you too like she did (because you are so adorable and lovely!). Great job team. I really like the look of this cozy space and how you gave someone a touch of their old home that they had to flee.
This touched my heart so deeply. I too have been surviving a horrible situation and just this month finally moved to a wonderful but small apt with an odd configuration, and have no furniture. You gave me such inspiration on what to do with my space and how to make it warm and cozy! What you did for this sweet couple was such a blessing and a gift from the heart! Thank you so much for sharing it!
I had a crappy night. I was just in an accident and so I guess I'm all in my feels, but this video made me smile and cry. I'm so thankful to be okay and was not expecting to be in tears at the end seeing those 2 ladies having fled a war with just what they had. So thank you for cheering me up. ❤
The fact team AG were able to get ahold of some of their belongings from the Ukraine is amazing, I can't imagine how it would feel to be displaced from my home with nothing but a suitcase. Wishing this beautiful couple all the best 💞
This was so touching! I love that you were able to help them finally feel at home after so many months of moving from place to place. How wonderful that you could get the books and trinkets from Ukraine and that the cocktail supplies were donated. You created such a sweet space. Well done!
Well, this obviously had me crying. Amazing makeover, I hope having a cozy place to share helps them feel even 1% like home. As a new Canadian myself (although in a totally different circumstance) I know what it’s like to be so far away from family. The fact that you had someone send you their books! And that friend is an absolute star for doing that and packing it so well and with so much love! ❤
I cried. I'm not sure who said "This feels like home. I haven't felt like I've been at home since February" ... My heart almost burst. And I saw a TARDIS! You KNOW they're good people if they're fans of Doctor Who! They were in 15 or so shelters! And someone actually said "Just go back to Russia." I have experienced so many emotions with this one. Alexandra you and Team AG did a phenomenal job. I know you all went above and beyond for this couple. It was so thoughtfully done. Well done! The world needs more of this. 💖💖💖
I have watched many many makeovers from team AG, but this one was special ! With all of your thoughtfullness, kindness of their friends and the magic of your team, you guys truly bought this lovely couple home ❤❤
Feelimg at home or even having one you know you'll be staying in for as long as you like is something most people take for granted. It's wonderful to see the topic of refugees in search of that experience raised on an interior makeover channel! Thank you. You did a great job for this lovely couple. That extra care of getting stuff they'd left behind sent over and setting up a social bar as a vwhicle to make new friends is everything. I'm sure this was deepky appreciated and wish them a grrat fresh start ans much happiness in their lovely home. 💕💕💕
Alexandra, thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking care of the couple. It really brings me to tears to see how Ukrainians are met with love and care. That there are people like you and your team, who help them feeling safe and home. Thank you ! 💛💙
6:29 Well, I haven’t even got into the makeover and I’m crying! They seem like such a lovely couple, and I’m so glad they were able to finally settle somewhere where they speak the language and where they can get married, after such an ordeal getting to this point 🥹🥰 And then to have the opportunity for this makeover to give them a beautiful place to start their lives here together! 🥹😭🥹 I feel like I’d better prepare myself for an emotional reveal to go with this emotional intro ☺️
This was one of my favorites! 💖 I feel like with a lot of makover shows on TV, the interior designers have their own personal style that's implemented more often than not. Don't get me wrong, it's great there are clients who may be completely open to any asthetic.. but what I love about Alexandra is she really seems to capture the essence of each person she designs for. Simple but meaningful and purposeful additions! Love watching her channel!!
You get the humanitarian prize with this one - oh so well done on every level. The world needs more people like you. So very kind and generous of heart. I know this was life-changing for two displaced people who've lost everything. A home is a welcoming sanctuary and you gave that and more to them. I do love your design too:). I've mentioned it before but it bears repeating, clearly, you are coming into your own as a designer - a real joy to see, besides your upbeat nature.
That was an unexpectedly and incredibly uplifting experience (because it was far much more than a video from someone from whom I look forward to viewing most Saturdays). You and Team AG helped get me through the worst of the pandemic… so instead of drowning in a vat of good red wine (although we probably did this during month 3 of shelter in place), I repainted the laundry room and the bathroom and created gallery walls and hung shelves. I remembered your collective laughter at Alexandra’s over-spackling job on a non-gallery wall as I spilled and cleaned up and dropped nails behind furniture. Thanks for creating joy in the world by doing something that truly lights you up. I am subscribed and proud to be so. Looking forward to many many more videos! And I’m saving up for a leather Article Sven sofa like the one in Rickie’s studio. Love from Portland, OR, USA.
To be able start their beautiful new life together in such a beautiful home. And did I possibly tear up at the end? Probably! Wonderful job Team AG for such a deserving couple! My heart is full! ❤🥹
Not only are you creative you are such a sweet and soulfuly kind and fun person. You are a friend to all and you have overwhelmed me with the enthusiasm and attention to detail and are really interested that your creations make the most beautiful impact on those who benefit from your input in their lives. You are both an inspiration and a gentile individual and thoughtful in all you do. A few of your episodes have brought me to tears as well as some that have made me laugh so hard it made me cry. Love who you are and what you do to make lives better for complete strangers as well as those you work with as well as others. . You are everything that makes a person someone you would love to know . Thank you for who you are. !
This is so great. The softness color of the space, pops of color, outstanding thoughtfulness with obtaining the books and barstand ready to use (the color is wonderful). This space is special and so nicely done.
These two ladies deserve a great makeover. I cant even imagine what they have been through already. So glad that you can make their life in Canada just a little bit brighter for them. Thank you Alexandra and team!

I will never be able to wrap my head around having to flee my country with just a suitcase of clothes. This is such an important makeover for this deserving, lovely couple. I wish them all the happiness that life has to offer. Great job Team AG!
I guess we can never be sure that we won’t have to flee. At least here in Europe there are generations of refugees.
Ditto everything you said.
I completely agree! 💚
Most people don't even have the opportunity to bring a suitcase. My privilege is humbling me everyday🥲
I wish Alexandra was my neighbor, I promise I wouldn't wear out my welcome. I doubt if she's ev coming to Colorado. Anywho I love and watching everything. What a welcoming to these beautiful ladies. So happy you helped them get a new start. Welcome welcome welcome......

you and your team just make the world a better place. thank you. the "after" reveal...simply gorgeous...stunning. and this couple's story...heartbreaking...this couple's reaction to the room...joyous and priceless.
I can't even imagine leaving my strange new apartment with a yoga mat and some pillows then coming HOME to all of this 😭❤️
Thank you so much for giving them a home they feel comfortable in! They deserve this and more. I really teared up in this video this was such a kind thing to do! 🙏⭐️
This couple SO deserved this! Fleeing your home and country with just a suitcase? I can't imagine doing that. May this couple find acceptance, happiness and kindness in their future!
Thank you Alexsandra and team , for finding and helping this sweet couple. They needed a big shot of HOPE and you guys gave it to them. I cannot imagine facing what they have been through on so many levels. .It turned out Beautiful.Peace & Love to all....🥰😘
I'm tearing up watching this. What a beautiful gesture to have family and friends involved in setting up the new home. Love! Wishing them a wonderful and peaceful new life in Canada!
Wow, getting their photos included, that is SUCH a thoughtful design. Ten points karma credit for Team AG!
Graham can do ANYTHING! 👏👏👏
i don't know how you DON'T have 500k followers yet--you're worthy of 1mill+!!
I do not even know who enjoyed it more. Girls or Alexandra. She so clearly was happy to make this project special, she so enjoyed the process of making girls happy.
I enjoyed your channel for the sole purpose of talented makeovers, but this is special. I myself came to Canada last July and had been treated wonderfully by people here. 🇺🇦❤️🇨🇦
So lovely to see these makeovers being used to help people in need! Would love to see more episodes like this
I love this makeover.. This is the mid-century modern style I want to see.
My favourite makeover ever. Welcome to Canada! I hope you are able to have the best Canadian/Ukrainian wedding ever. Wishing you peace and joy and friendships from our country that you can cherish for a lifetime.
This was incredibly touching Alexandra. I want to hug you too like she did (because you are so adorable and lovely!). Great job team. I really like the look of this cozy space and how you gave someone a touch of their old home that they had to flee.
I can't be the only one who is swiftly developing a HUGE crush on Graham
This touched my heart so deeply. I too have been surviving a horrible situation and just this month finally moved to a wonderful but small apt with an odd configuration, and have no furniture. You gave me such inspiration on what to do with my space and how to make it warm and cozy! What you did for this sweet couple was such a blessing and a gift from the heart! Thank you so much for sharing it!
Can I just mention the BAR CART……AGAIN…..THAT COLOR………take a bow……
This was an incredible makeover and thank you soo much Alexandra for being an ally and helping people in this kind and beautiful way. 🖤
I had a crappy night. I was just in an accident and so I guess I'm all in my feels, but this video made me smile and cry. I'm so thankful to be okay and was not expecting to be in tears at the end seeing those 2 ladies having fled a war with just what they had. So thank you for cheering me up. ❤
Hope you're doing better now 💛
The fact team AG were able to get ahold of some of their belongings from the Ukraine is amazing, I can't imagine how it would feel to be displaced from my home with nothing but a suitcase. Wishing this beautiful couple all the best 💞
This was so touching! I love that you were able to help them finally feel at home after so many months of moving from place to place. How wonderful that you could get the books and trinkets from Ukraine and that the cocktail supplies were donated. You created such a sweet space. Well done!
Prize message is a SCAM
The decor and makeover aside the best thing is that you brought her belongings back ❤️
Well, this obviously had me crying. Amazing makeover, I hope having a cozy place to share helps them feel even 1% like home. As a new Canadian myself (although in a totally different circumstance) I know what it’s like to be so far away from family.
The fact that you had someone send you their books! And that friend is an absolute star for doing that and packing it so well and with so much love! ❤
I cried. I'm not sure who said "This feels like home. I haven't felt like I've been at home since February" ... My heart almost burst. And I saw a TARDIS! You KNOW they're good people if they're fans of Doctor Who! They were in 15 or so shelters! And someone actually said "Just go back to Russia." I have experienced so many emotions with this one. Alexandra you and Team AG did a phenomenal job. I know you all went above and beyond for this couple. It was so thoughtfully done. Well done! The world needs more of this. 💖💖💖
I have watched many many makeovers from team AG, but this one was special ! With all of your thoughtfullness, kindness of their friends and the magic of your team, you guys truly bought this lovely couple home ❤❤
Feelimg at home or even having one you know you'll be staying in for as long as you like is something most people take for granted. It's wonderful to see the topic of refugees in search of that experience raised on an interior makeover channel! Thank you. You did a great job for this lovely couple. That extra care of getting stuff they'd left behind sent over and setting up a social bar as a vwhicle to make new friends is everything. I'm sure this was deepky appreciated and wish them a grrat fresh start ans much happiness in their lovely home.
💕💕💕
Alexandra, thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking care of the couple. It really brings me to tears to see how Ukrainians are met with love and care. That there are people like you and your team, who help them feeling safe and home. Thank you ! 💛💙
This particular makeover is stunning. And for this couple who experienced SUCH hardship, they certainly deserve to revel in such a luxurious room.
I had tears of joy for this lovely couple after everything that they have been through . Team AG , you rock!
You"re the Best Alexandra !!
I am so happy this couple now have a beautiful home.
God bless Ukraine xxo
This makeover is sooo special, you always think about all details, beautiful ❤😍
6:29 Well, I haven’t even got into the makeover and I’m crying! They seem like such a lovely couple, and I’m so glad they were able to finally settle somewhere where they speak the language and where they can get married, after such an ordeal getting to this point 🥹🥰 And then to have the opportunity for this makeover to give them a beautiful place to start their lives here together! 🥹😭🥹 I feel like I’d better prepare myself for an emotional reveal to go with this emotional intro ☺️
This made me tear up.
BEAUTIFUL makeover for two beautiful people who have been through so much. LOVE love love this.
6 minutes in and I am crying.
I am so happy that these two got this makeover!!❤❤
10 minutes in and I'm already crying. This is amazing, TeamAG. What a kind thing to do x
I rarely comment, but I'm really impressed with the heart behind this makeover. I hope they make a beautiful life together in this lovely new home.
These two are such a sweet couple, to be smiling and happy and sweet after all they’ve gone through! They are so deserving of this-Welcome to Canada
This is the most heartfelt makeover. I believe what you're are doing is so magical, to bring happiness and beauty to the world.
This was one of my favorites! 💖 I feel like with a lot of makover shows on TV, the interior designers have their own personal style that's implemented more often than not. Don't get me wrong, it's great there are clients who may be completely open to any asthetic.. but what I love about Alexandra is she really seems to capture the essence of each person she designs for. Simple but meaningful and purposeful additions! Love watching her channel!!
A lovely couple, and a lovely settled home for however long they need. Thank you Team AG and Milanote. Our hearts are with all Ukrainians. Peace.
You get the humanitarian prize with this one - oh so well done on every level. The world needs more people like you. So very kind and generous of heart. I know this was life-changing for two displaced people who've lost everything. A home is a welcoming sanctuary and you gave that and more to them. I do love your design too:). I've mentioned it before but it bears repeating, clearly, you are coming into your own as a designer - a real joy to see, besides your upbeat nature.
I ordered your book "Own Your Space" yesterday. I have enjoyed your videos very much thank you for your talent and personality!
That was an unexpectedly and incredibly uplifting experience (because it was far much more than a video from someone from whom I look forward to viewing most Saturdays). You and Team AG helped get me through the worst of the pandemic… so instead of drowning in a vat of good red wine (although we probably did this during month 3 of shelter in place), I repainted the laundry room and the bathroom and created gallery walls and hung shelves. I remembered your collective laughter at Alexandra’s over-spackling job on a non-gallery wall as I spilled and cleaned up and dropped nails behind furniture. Thanks for creating joy in the world by doing something that truly lights you up. I am subscribed and proud to be so. Looking forward to many many more videos! And I’m saving up for a leather Article Sven sofa like the one in Rickie’s studio. Love from Portland, OR, USA.
This was the best episode of your channel. Thank you, your team, and your sponsors for making them feel at home.
To be able start their beautiful new life together in such a beautiful home. And did I possibly tear up at the end? Probably! Wonderful job Team AG for such a deserving couple! My heart is full! ❤🥹

I’m crying too! What a beautiful gift for these two women.
Team AG, this is amazing. What a gift to be able to give two stunning women who had to leave their home with basically nothing. Just incredible
Thank you for bringing so much joy to these two lovely women, who when they thought they were lost found a home. ❤
This is my favourite makeover you’ve ever done. What a thoughtful touch to have gotten the books sent 🥲🥲
Not only are you creative you are such a sweet and soulfuly kind and fun person. You are a friend to all and you have overwhelmed me with the enthusiasm and attention to detail and are really interested that your creations make the most beautiful impact on those who benefit from your input in their lives. You are both an inspiration and a gentile individual and thoughtful in all you do. A few of your episodes have brought me to tears as well as some that have made me laugh so hard it made me cry. Love who you are and what you do to make lives better for complete strangers as well as those you work with as well as others. . You are everything that makes a person someone you would love to know . Thank you for who you are. !
I cried watching the couple’s reaction to the makeover. Well done, Alexandra!
This is so great. The softness color of the space, pops of color, outstanding thoughtfulness with obtaining the books and barstand ready to use (the color is wonderful). This space is special and so nicely done.
These two ladies deserve a great makeover. I cant even imagine what they have been through already. So glad that you can make their life in Canada just a little bit brighter for them. Thank you Alexandra and team!
