Renovating the Team AG studio (again) | We built a pink meeting room and storage loft!!

- Опубліковано 16 чер 2024
- Hey guys! I'm Alexandra Gater and I show you how to do rental-friendly upgrades and DIY projects on a budget. New videos every Saturday! Today I'm renovating the Team AG studio (again). We needed a little meeting room and way more storage so we made it happen with a cute loft and room enclosed with thrifted doors. And of course, in true AG fashion, it's all pink to match the rest of the space!

Always.
I've yet to see one
YES!
Absolutely
Can we all have a Graham? He is so darned talented. Is there anything he can't build?
I gotta know...when are we gonna see a make over of Graham's space! We have seen makeovers for everyone else on Team AG, it's Graham's turn!
I think he might live with his dad since he’s always helping in projs not sure tho
@@Meelameels but he surely has his own room at least? Idk but it's a nice idea for a video 🙂
@@Meelameels That would be a challenge to make something without his help and that his father likes too.
Maybe he's private about his home
Same tbh
Do you remember how often you had to declutter the loft in your old kitchen? Do you think this will work? Perhaps you could take a photo of every item in your stash and create an inventory board on milanote. So you could consider those items first when you plan a new room, pull the photo on to your moodboard and not forget about them?
Such a good idea!
I had the same general thought but you really gave it clarity
That’s genius!
Until like the last 5 minutes, I misunderstood “meeting room” as in where Team AG would all meet… I was like “y’all that’s entirely too small 😅”
Yes! I was getting panicky the whole time thinking about squeezing more than one person into that space!
MEEEE TOOOOOO!!! 😂😂😂😂
Me tooooo 🤣🤣🤣
Same😂😂😂😂
meee toooo 🤣🤣🤣
I would love to hear about Graham and how he learned how to do everything. He’s amazing. You all are!
💯 agreed!
Especially since he was some sort of coffee expert in a past life too?! How do people pick up such varied skills?!
Oh yes 🙌🏻 Graham’s amazing! And super cute too.
@@maciekwr he is not super cute. He’s hot. 😂 and he’s so like innocent and humble about it. Almost timid/shy which makes it ever more attractive
@@Bubreherro and like a chef or something. He can cook someone dinner, build them something and make them coffee the next day
Came for the decor but stayed for Graham's excellent wall building skills 😍😘
Graham is the MVP here!
Alexandra, you were a force to be reckoned with to begin with. But Graham’s woodworking and reno skills have put you into godmode tier of design capabilities. Your team is chef’s kiss amazing.
I love how it came out, but I feel like the table and chair will become impractical because you can’t put your legs under the table, so it could be hard to work on.
Alexandra: We need to declutter
Also Alexandra:So we're going to Home Sense to get more stuff 😂😂
I love it! The meeting room is gorgeous!
Graham is like a one man band. He does EVERYTHING !!
so like love the mini office moment but i feel like it should have been used as storage lol
The ladder to storage seems logistically awkward but I’m guessing this arrangement will transition as needed. Saving money on a storage unit is an obvious win.
Graham is so everything!
Don't know if they have these in Canada but I saw someone use Elephant Tags for storage. You buy the packs, use the app to take pictures of everything (you can tag, number, etc) then put the QR tag on the box and scan it. If you need to find something you pull up your pics and it tells you which box it's in.
I found it! looked for quite a while but I found it! It really is a THING but it is called Elephant Trax. Now to find who sells the system, because I desperately need it!!
Love the mini office space! Will be great for when someone is in a Zoom/video call so they can have some privacy and not disturb the rest of the office.
I'll be curious if that little enclosed space will actually be used by anyone as office space. It does seem like it makes more sense to just put floor to ceiling shelving and hooks in there and use it as a storage space.
They said they needed it as a virtual meeting room. Zoom calls, etc. They know what they need.
@@oldsha10 Agreed they need a space for that. I am not sure sitting in a windowless closet is a place I want to be in, even if it is nicely decorated. My guess is it will gather clutter in the same way the previous space did.
I was thinking the same thing tbh ha ha
Agreed I think it will be echoey with that roof, if they do use it for zoom calls I expect they will end up filling the ceiling frame or stapling fabric on it to dampen the sound
@@CK1000ism I worked in a big, multi-floor downtown office for a financial institution. We had exactly these kind of little zoom rooms for phone calls, because the rest of the office was open concept. When you had a phone call or zoom meeting, it was a way to make sure you weren't bothering anyone else, and you were typically online in one for 15min-60min at a time.
I remember the tree house. You got me through the period just before the lock down when I was shut in. Then the pandemic. I went back and saw every tape I could find of you and Dani. Now I am a sick shut in again. Just so you know, I've had ten operations in a little over three years. And I'm old and I live alone. You kept me in fine company all this long time. Thank you
much love❤️, positive energy 💫and strength 💪🏽to you
Best wishes and I hope you have a speedy recovery.
Best to you!!
Take care, Susan. ❤️💐
Many good wishes for a speedy recovery!!!💪💪💪👍👍👍🌼🌼🌼🌼
It's great to have a meeting room. Especially when you have those video calls with clients. It would look way more professional to do them in an enclosed space with no disturbances. Love it! Using the space on the top for storage is awesome!
Oh wow, Graham needs a bonus for saving you that storage money 😂😂. (I wish I worked in such a friendly office!)
Seeing how dark it is in there, I'd kind of like to see an overhead light in your meeting room, if the ceiling isn't too low.
Graham is seriously the boyfriend every person that likes to do DIY renovations want. Amazing work!
OK, as much as I miss Xico, I gotta say Graham is the best addition to an already talented team! He is so handy! Love the studio reno! Love this channel... much love to you all
Hi, you should do a risk assessment etc, and have a process for accessing the roof storage (ie two people must be there, items up there can only be a certain weight, etc etc)….. if an employee fell while using it, or had a strain injury from passing something heavy down they would have a case to claim. It looks great though! Just worth being cautious as an employer!
Just want to add to this that it looks like your office is a sprinklered space and the ceiling/roof has blocked sprinkler coverage into that room. Where I live, this would be a problem in a commercial space. Looks great but make sure you are comfortable with your compliance!
Yeah that roof is 100% a fire code violation.
Oh my gosh your team has outgrown this space!! Y'all are so cramped. I can't believe you added a desk where the ladder slides. Haha time for a new space! 🤗
Those doors are S T U N N I N G 😍😍. Graham is an all star especially now that he loves pink 😝
Love James and his editing skills. Need to hear more from him please. Graham is a sweetheart, all around good guy it seems. Both very talented in their craft. Everyone on team AG is super talented, Behind and In front of the camera. Love watching y’all from New Braunfels,TEXAS.
I need a supercut of every time Graham laughs at Alexandra drilling
i think it looks good! To bring more natural light in (so it doesnt feel too cozy) I would cut an opening on the back wall and put some frosted glass. this will let light travel from one side the the other and potentially make it feel bigger. but das just me
Also some ventilation is needed. That space could become very stuffy very quickly. But it’s an extremely sweet room and I love the creativity from the team that made it happen. I want a library ladder!!
My construction superintendent partner is super concerned that the storage room isn’t fire rated and could be a big fire hazard. The sprinklers on the main ceiling don’t reach inside and there’s also no ventilation!
Hi, Alexandra, love all your videos and also a huge fan of your work. I would like also to share that your personal style and the way you style your clothes is very inspiring to me! Almost an year ago I found your channel and started drawing inspiration from your outfits and the way you dress and I realized that finally I began accepting my body and embracing my curves. Thank you for being so kind, loving and caring ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
with the new desk being there, you can't even move the library ladder much anymore...? I'm so confused ☹️ I hope you can get enough air circulation in that tiny room you built, too! it's cute but it's so tight and dark. the darkness doesn't feel suitable for good quality video calls, but I'm sure you make it work and it looks better in real life :))
"I like pink now". I love that! My husband is also into pink now. For our bedroom I was toying with the idea of going pink and yellow, and when I was trying to ease him into my idea he just cut me off and said: "I'd love to have yellow walls with our pink bed." I can't tell you how happy that made me. I didn't even need to show him the art print that inspired it, he was already on board.
I love these men secure with their masculinity.
I would put a fenced railing on the storage, or half a wall in front ( maybe plexi glass) so that it's safer and you can see through what you have up there... 😘
the meeting room looks great guys, love it! with the storage /loft area, I would consider hanging a curtain or something to cover all the storage so you cannot see it especially since the rest of your office space looks so nice. 😁 Thank you for sharing Alexandra....
Graham is so talented!! He’s team AG’s MVP every week!
LoL y‘all at the storage unit was such a mood. It’s literally me at the realization moment when I see all the stuff and go “oh my how did it get to be this much stuff” BTW LOVE LOVE LOVE the color choices.
Perfect private place for your video meetings. Like a lovely big phone booth.😂😂😂 The colors are great. Very smart to put the storage on top. You have put together a great team. Graham is one talented person. You two are so in tuned to each other and so fun to watch together.
Very nice makeover. Like the library ladder track and safety bar on the loft. The pink decor is very nicely done.
It’s really cute but I thought to myself “Why didn’t they use it as a storage?!” since it’s closed up now it could have been fantastic for decor, tools, etc… Nevertheless it’s still cute ☺️
Now it’s both! Meeting room downstairs, storage on top. Ta da’
That’s exactly what I thought too! Maybe it will turn into storage down the line
i always thought they needed a dedicated space for virtual meetings, rather than being around everyone else working. now they have a little closed off nook that can be used for that purpose or phone calls or something.
@@meaghanmichalski yes, you always need extra storage especially in her business
@@harley69210 oh yeah, that makes sense
It's so cute and actually very functional for Zoom/video calls. It's small but not cluttered, so it works. I love that shade of pink on the interior walls and those doors are beautiful! The ladder just finishes it off! You guys work together so well, and Graham is AMAZING!
That “flower” rug that was too big is screaming that it’s a wall tapestry (of sorts) in a room where acoustics need to be improved subtly. A big wall in a room with a fireplace…. Wow, I’m so loving the thought!! ❤❤❤
🌸 Always happy to see your talented design, Alexandra and Team AG!
So talented all the team members. Love to watch your videos so fun!
I think your team may have outgrown this space already! How exciting!
I love the little meeting room. I am always amazed at how you all reuse and repurpose items. GREAT!
Bravo all, especially Graham! Well done, everyone🎉
I really liked the before wall where the ladder is
Sent your vids to my daughter who recently made the same kitty bathroom as you did using the metal pink cabinet I see in this video. She painted hers white (wasn’t available) and it looks so cute & functional in her apartment foyer! The top of course is her drop zone. She was not raised in a diy household so thank you for all you share❣️
I love it! Adding the doors and loft space anchor the space. It's beautiful/clever/stylish/functional.
The wall decorations are stunning 🤩
Love it, but I would just put a floating shelf in that room as a desk. So it’s not so crowded and you can get your legs in.
Amazing! I love the pinky terra cotta colour. I had that in a condo in the 90's and never got tired of it. I need a Graham in my life. You are incredibly fortunate to have that man!
graham’s little “staaahp” was the cutest thing ever. i love y’all 🥹
I love how the room turned out, with Danie's table the pink theme is so dimensional :) I love that Mitzi light too and the warm tone with the glass doors! amazing job :)
Oh I love the colour, the doors and the pink table ! 💕💕🌺🌷🥀
Love the doors and that you created it like it’s own separate building.
Fantastic makeover, I can’t get enough of your channel.
Oh wow Alexandra, you are so amazing with your decor ideas, and I have to say again that Graham is totally the most amazing guy that can build whatever you need, he really is a great part of teamAG. I love the look of that little room, and the color is perfect. I also love that storage loft with the library type ladder. Those doors are so perfect to give that room some privacy and that char is also amazing, I love that it is soft and cushy, I do like the pink one a lot and I am sure you will find the perfect spot for it. All I can say is that your space is really so amazing and just looks so good and I am sure your team really loves to be able to work there. Thanks for another really great and wonderful video I had so much fun watching it. I hope that you have a great weekend, sending lots of love and hugs, bye for now. 🤣😉🤗😻💜
KUDOS TO ALANA FOR BEING SO KIND AND SUPPORTIVE!!!!!!
Love this, Alexandra!! ❤
It looks so much bigger now and the paint colors are lovely. Graham really is an amazing builder, adding the doors and roof, giving you all that extra storage space & saving money on storage rental, win, win.
Another beautiful entertaining video. 👏 Not to mention a great use of space. 😍
Love it! I think Dani’s table really tops It off!!!
So cute ☺️ 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 paint colours are both stunning
I love it so much!!
LOOVE YOUUUU GUYS SOOOO MUCH!!!! ADORE THE NEW LITTLE ITTY BITTY SPACE.... YES MORE OF WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO PUT OUT MOREEEEE!!!
What a beautiful room .
Love the ladder! 😍
Very cute time out room !
Love love! I love laughing with y’all!!
Its nice and as always you guys did a fantastic job but nothing compares to that iconic picture that was in there before. I adored it!!!
So cute and wow, talk about multi purpose!
it looks perfect 🥰
Graham is such an allstar! Good job everyone 😍
Such a cute makeover💕
Beautiful!!!
Love it!!
Amazing! But I’m thinking of a shelve as a desk top instead of the pink art table would be perfect for this room! 😍
I need that little "Je ne sais quoi" print in my life! Too cute. 🥰
Cute little room!!!
Love everything in the entire team AG studio space......I just need a pair of overhauls now!
Awesome job Team AleGater (one from my “I laugh at my own jokes” collection).. 😍
Great make over for the Zoom room. Maybe a light on the wall behind the desk would help with those virtual meetings.
Also curious how you’re gonna slide the ladder now that there’s a desk in the way.
Graham should start his own youtube channels! He should start immediately
Cute meeting room!
Omg cutteeee - this is my type of office/meeting room! I love that wavy table and that Bourke chair 😍😍 I love the idea of adding storage on top but I would be so worried climbing up there.
Love the vibe n also love graham works
I really love the color wall so beautiful and I love white and pink chair I want one 😍 💕
I love the pink meeting room.
Graham never fails to impress!
I absolutely love the doors!!
Like a little play house!
It’s so cute!
I just in love with Graham for his talent🐱
Hi, so great Reno. Looks wonderful. Suggestion, you might want to undertake an inventory list so you know what is stored up in the loft? Thanks for the video:)
I have never clicked so fast on a video than this one!!
Me too, all the way from Turkey!
@@rozibektas143 That's so cool! I m watching from Pakistan.
amazing job.
Love it!
