    I am a doctor and discovered your channel during the height of the pandemic shut down. My days were filled with caring for sick and anxious patients and your channel was one bright spot in my otherwise depressing and stressful life. When I hear the music starting and ending your videos it makes me happy. I love to watch the makeovers, but just hearing your music makes my day brighter.

Although I'm sure you have a really nice big home! , I watch these bc this is what I can afford...well, not so much anymore, my studio was $500/mo but now they are as much as a one bedroom! Thank you so very much for all your help and services when the pandemic hit. We all REALLY appreciate you!!! 😘 XOXO

    AG Team challenge? 😮! Make over a SENIOR INDEPENDENT LIVING apartment. To help seniors to transition into a new Lifestyle of Retirement. Please Give us Hope DESIGN Idea choices to personalize our units;...be kind, and sensitive to our limited mobility issues. (Get us out of the 70/ 80's decor). Love to see what your team can do.
    AGT, my Granddaughter, shared you You Tube programs with me. I will soon, move into a unit, what renter friendly idea choice I can use,
    To reflect my style...an updated look. There is 80's wallpaper all over the building;
    It's a mid century 1-bed unit with valued ceilings, 1 closet (? Wow talking about downsizing 😮). Would need storage solutions. For example: for tiny dining area, with storage. Creative entryway/ shoe storage etc.
    HELP US SENIORS We like stylish things too.

    • @MsJoli22
      @MsJoli22 5 місяців тому +7

      I agree, I dont think she really followed the inspiration and wishes of the client in this makeover when it came to the color scheme. The inspiration pictures were so nice and felt more fresh and "happy" instead of these more earthy colors (total 70's vibe). The shape of the furniture and details were on point, just the colors that where a bit off.

    And though quirky, eye-catching overhead lighting is a PLUS... the exposed BARE BULB beneath it is NOT.

  • @feliciamoore7808
    @feliciamoore7808 9 місяців тому +162

    I absolutely love the makeover, as always! I was a little disappointed that more of the aqua/turquoise from the client's inspo wasn't used. I know Alexandra loves pink, and the client was obviously happy, but those blues were beautiful. I would have loved to see more of that color, and not so much pink, even in future makeovers.

  • @aryanegouvea
    @aryanegouvea 9 місяців тому +29

    it is kind of scary the diference between the inspo and the final. the inspo is much more adult, and realistic/literal with the flowers on the paperwall. dont get me wrong, looks beautiful and fun, i would love this place, but it is sooo far along the inspo, the color palet, the style and all

    I think her studio looks really great. Although there is very little green from her original inspo boards which I thought were very botantical. She has all that amazing light and could have had so many more plants. I love everything you do and hate saying anything negative but feel that we could have replaced the mustard colors with greens. The furniture is perfect. You are so talented.

    • @peggyoneil2123
      @peggyoneil2123 9 місяців тому +10

      I came here to say the same thing, I know Alexandra's color is pink but I think she let that over run this design more when it should have based on the inspo.
      Edit: it seems I missed that the client said her favorite colors were pink and purple but I still dont think that means Alexandra should have ignored the inspo so much. Just because someones favorite color is pink doesnt mean they want to live in it.

      To be fair, _good quality_ keyboards, monitors, and mouses are pretty expensive, especially if you're just changing them out for aesthetics. Though, of course, there are simpler swaps like keycaps available (and I think they make decals/stickers for non-mechanical keyboards,) and desk mats/mousepads are definitely a reasonable idea.

From the beginning where we see the potential and the home owner's/renter's needs and decor sensibility, to the plan and Graham's technical skills as well as Alexandra's design inspiration. For me the most fun is at the end where she pulls all these amazing finishing touches out of a hat. That's when the real transformational magic reveals itself.

    It's so funny how much you love white compared to how much I hate it. All of the rentals here just have white walls, so your bright white is my renter's beige. I have been renting since I graduated over a decade ago and finally landed ina rental that the last tenants painted without the landlord's consent and I am so happy! The beige is so much warmer than the white! It just feels so much more like a home! It is not the color the landlord wants it to be, but he's not gonna bother painting it till we move out, I haven't told him my feelings, but obviously I am totally fine with that.

      @barboragimesova4587 9 місяців тому +11

      I disagree, her whole aestehic is boho/mid century and it’s lot girly, and it shows in every design. I like the desings, but the “clients” show her different interior style and it always ends with boho elements (even tho little muted). I watched some episode, where the style of client was more minimalist and japandi style and the reno ended muted more white boho, even tho it’s still beautiful I would like to see completely different style

    • @MsEgwene
      @MsEgwene 9 місяців тому +5

      ​@@barboragimesova4587Yeah, I agree with you. If you look at the inspo, I see very little of it in the end result. Don't get me wrong, I love Alexandra and her style! I just don't think she caters to the preferences of the person she does a makeover for that much. To take this specific one as an example, there's no soft green or eggshell blue millwork. She said she loves walls to have color yet Alexandra chose white, as she often does. The style still suits the person she did it for, but I think that's more because they likely responded to a "who wants a pastel scandi small apartment makeover?". Of course people are happy when they want an AG makeover and they get an AG makeover! And rightfully so!

    WOW! Pastel Scandi isn’t my style but you absolutely nailed this makeover and it truly looks beautiful!!! You’re so generous with all the finishing touches with the rugs and plants and candles and prints. Well done!

  • @user-ed7et3pb4o
    @user-ed7et3pb4o 9 місяців тому +7

    I don't know why, but I'm just not a fan of the lilac locker, wallpaper, and mustard squiggle together:( I feel like they clash and it's a little visually jarring. Also, the sofa is SO low compared to the ottoman and it's off.
    On the other hand, the bed, desk and entry way are pretty! I like the entry way art.
    It's just...idk, I feel like the vibe is VERY different to her inspo pics which were a lot more refined/grown up with some more traditional elements and mouldings. Almost like Lily Allen's home...a bit more of a classic eccentric but in pastel. But what we have here is yet another one of Alexandra's squiggly pastel scandi makeovers with the same colours as always. It's nice to see most of the time, but it can get repetitive and I don't feel like it's what she asked for?

    You made this small studio grow huge! I am trying to figure my little living room out and this just blew my mind!! The colours are so bright and happy and the curvy trim was amazing. You and Graham go to such lengths to do such special and unique pieces for your clients. No short cuts. You turned a cramped and very busy small studio into a sweet and very functional home. Your smile is contagious and your giggle!! You and your team are a joy to watch.

    Hello team AG, I'm speechless! In my personal opinion, this is the best transformation yet. The symbiosis of colors and textures and the unique style are beautiful. I have been living with a severe depressive phase for about 3 years and I am in a state of change. I'm working less, doing sports again and planning to completely renovate my dreary and messy apartment. The kitchen will be delivered in February and that will be the start of a new phase in my life and creating my “safe space”. Your videos inspire me in ways that are difficult for me to put into words. I find the courage to use color and think outside the box. Thank you and your team for the outpouring of creativity, joy and fun. I'm really looking forward to November. Your Lea ❤️

  • @margaretmurphy9795

    Loved the inspiration board the client brought -- but was sad to see the gold/brown color of the squiggle (Pinterest design more sophisticated) and the brown check in wallpaper. Why not stick with the pastels she had chosen. I would have suggested a desk with more lower storage and a longer console would again have provided the tiny space with more storage. Layout is very good.

  • @laurenbadertscher9387
    @laurenbadertscher9387 9 місяців тому +5

    Overall I love the design but I feel like some of the spaces end up a little cramped. The locker in the entry way is lovely, but seems a bit too deep for the space. Something the same height or a bit taller but a little less deep would have made it fell less cramped. The ottoman is also really cute but there just doesn't seem like there is enough space to walk through that area.

    I love your videos. I have a suggestion. I think Graham's work area could use a make over. (Where he made the squiggles, it is a garage space?) It looks like it could use a clean up, some organization, and maybe a new work table. Would love to see a video of this and maybe learn a little more about Graham and how he started in his line of work.

    I just love the variety of different design styles you play with Alexandra! This one is probably the closest to my own style - I just love the bright + cleanness of Scandi style but I always add pops of color to make it feel more happy and less neutral.
    I also love getting to sit in on the entire process, from consultation to DIYs to reveal! I feel like I'm always learning something that I could apply to my own space. Keep it up!

    I live in an apartment with old, cheap, plain cabinets. I decorate them with contact paper. (Amazon has several choices in several colors and patterns. There may be other sources too.) I choose pastel floral print contact paper, it transforms by kitchen in bathroom! My bathroom was dark, until I covered the cabinets with floral print contact paper! So, was my kitchen. I also decorated parts of my kitchen appliances with floral print contact paper.

It’s so small that I think it’s really hidden by the beautiful wings on the bed. The bed is just so beautiful and that wallpaper and the squiggle are so so cute! She looked absolutely thrilled and completely blown away! I’m so happy for her🎉🎉🎉

    • @zerowhite2286

    • @tracygarrett3952
      @tracygarrett3952 9 місяців тому +4

      From the inspo pictures, I was also expecting floral, especially in pink and aqua or was that turquoise? JMO, when you have a studio, I think a floor to ceiling divider is so important to section off the bed from the rest of the room. Two other observations... are the curtains close to the stove top? That scares me. I'm not a huge fan of the wallpaper-squiggly molding wall. Not a fan of the colors as I'm more into the inspo theme. I did however adore the much thinner squiggly molding in the picture, on just a painted wall. This area now skews kind of junior ish. Overall, it looks very pretty and feminine.😊

    • @sethm3856
      @sethm3856 8 місяців тому +1

      I agree, I would have painted the wall behind the bed/ living room that green color from the first inspo photo, and replaced the purple console table with a marble one like the coffee table in one of the insp pics. and then removed anything else that was purple or squiggly.

    Very nice for her taste, with some colors she likes, like mauve and other shades of purple/pink. I would die in a place like this because of those colors. But I do like the golden yellow of the squiggle molding! I wish, and was hoping, you would have incorporated that gorgeous blue on the door in one of her inspo photos, instead of so much pink, mauve, and shades of purple. But that’s just me. You did a great job for Melissa’s taste.
