Merch idea:
A tote bag with a raccoon wearing overalls and vans, holding something of your liking, and a speech bubble that says “I found it in the trash”.
I would buy that in a heartbeat!
100% would buy 😂
Omg same!!!! Plz don’t make it super loudly “AG branded” 🥺I love merch that doesn’t look like merch.
I would definitely buy.
Would it be a bad look if the raccoon were holding a little Graham? 🤔😅
New membership perk idea...."Graham's therapist," where we get to hear all about how many color changes, custom impossible pieces of furniture, and curves he has to deal with every week...
😂😂😂😂
Love your entry way love that the color goes with the stain flowers on your window 👍
I will pay for this
We would also get to hear all about his accomplishments, aka all the great things he rescued from the trash!
James, you are the best! The way you edit makes me feel like we are friends watching a video together and commenting and making jokes. Thank you ❤
Always my favorite pieces hahaha
Same! The basket quotes sent me 😂
Streaky McGee had me 😂😂😂😂
I always ♥ James' little touches
The basket/storage quotes though. Your editor is a true legend. 🤩
As a landscape designer, I sometimes find it difficult to decide about my own space while being quite decisive about my clients gardens.
I can organize someone else's life so easily. Mine? Not so much.🤷♀
@@user-bo1rj2xu2s i think the sentimentality and not objectively being able to detach yourself from your own stuff is definitely a thing. cleaners also say this often. running around cleaning somoene else's house is so much faster than cleaning your own.
Please feel free to repeat the same thing over and over again as long as it makes you happy. No need to go outside of your own comfort zone. Definitely only do what you like.
@@crunchevo8974 So true!
I have the same problem. Somebody else's home, no problem, 15 minutes done. My space, 5 years. Always waiting for the next great thing. 😂
The color of the walls looks so nice with the stained glass window 💕
Yes. The color with the stained glass is what did it for me as well. Love how this turned out
So this wall color is so good with the stained window… now the window feels more of an art piece… and everything is going great together.. ❤
I was thinking the same thing! Also, the stained glass flowers go so well with the stair runner.❤❤❤
Team AG- time for a scallop ban! The shelves, the baskets, the lights, the other baskets 😂 I'm convinced scallops are going to be blase in a year (dare I say- the chevron of the 2020s?). Just a little too trendy to be everywhere!!
I agree, but considering Alexandra has the skills and the team to change it up whenever she likes I don't think it matters 😊
it's not scalops, it's waves,scallops look different
As someone who spent over a quarter of a century in a similar line of work, I can tell you I know how much easier it is to tell the client what to do in their home, than to decide what to do in your own! Always delighted by you, your crew, and your solutions!
Ha ha I am the same! So decisive for others but agonise over paint colours for myself
Not in the biz, but choose perfection for people I know. But, I think it’s harder to do our own because we have so many ideas🤗
I really liked the blue ....but it wasn't right in the space.
My house is painted that blue color...but I live in Houston Texas and it is hot ! The blue actually makes the house feel cooler and no I'm not crazy , my husband says the same thing.😊
That blue was giving early 2000s dolphin themed bedroom 🐬
YES!! I was cringing so hard 😂😅😂
The sulking room pink makes that stain glass window look SO GOOD!
GRAHAMS LITTLE PEARL NECKLACE i’m so in love with him in a platonic way
Yessss I love him too he is Awesome!!!❤
Our house, built in '69, had all scalloped shelves. It's taken me years to get rid of them all! And now they are a thing again? Oh boy. great job on the makeover!
1:46 looking at this angle, if it's possible flip the entrance door to a right hand entrance so when opening the door will be at the larger view opening towards the stairs and the coat and shoe storage will be behind the door. Have an awesome weekend!
i thought this too!
I think she should def flip the door
I think that would block the entry to her neighbor’s home on the first level
@@michellehoehne when you open the door and walk in, it swings left and opens towards the coat storage. the og commenter is suggesting to put the hinges on the other side, so it swings right and opens towards the entry table with the mirror. it would make the space feel more open when you enter and block the visual clutter of the coat storage.
@@TheBeautifulTruthh my bad! I thought the door swung out into the first entry room, not into her home space. I see what y’all mean now
I think the dusty pink was a good idea because it matches the pink in the window pannels, and it reflects back to pink you already used in the house making it more unified.
Graham needs an etsy shop!!
custom furniture business
I feel like this whole paint debacle would have been solved much sooner if you had just taken inspiration from the colors that were already present in the space: the stained glass windows! The tulips brought such a lovely warm violet hue that matched the runners perfectly.
"The oil for the coatrack, I found in the garbage." 😂 I love finding stuff, too!
The blue is the color of my bedroom now and I’m 65 and LOVE it! 😍
i love the way the paint ties together the stained glass window and runners
Looks so you ! Your team is so patient we knew you wouldn’t choose blue !! Graham is such a wood artist .
The end result was amazing! That first blue/lilac was giving me huge Friends vibes. Would be fun to see you guys do a movie/tv show inspired series! 🤩
LOVE this idea!
I feel like it would be nice to have some redemption for the periwinkle as well, it just needs the right space for it
Totally agree! Poor peri got a lot of hate :’)
Off topic but, Alexandra’s hair looks so beautiful. ♥
I was going to say the same thing. The sleek bun with the center part was so pretty and sophisticated.
I always have hair envy watching her videos x
I always have hair envy watching her videos x
Well to each their own. I think color is definitely a personal thing. I really didn’t like this color. Maybe something a little bit lighter??? The rest was so functional & I’m glad you thought of all these ideas to make it your own!!😜👍🏻
Omg agree!!
This darker, purple-ish color from one of the swatches could be very nice on the stairs as well (where it's black now)! Loving the makeover as always :)
This “episode” *is AMAZING!*
The [or James’] _editing_ is top-notch, all the funny quips from the crew, combined with Alexandra’s excellent style is _seriously_ #chefskiss 😍 Another great makeover vid, Team AG! 👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve said it before, but I’m going to say it again m, Graham is a genius!!!
All his projects in this video are beautiful and functional! Great job!
Okay. I’m sure this is going to work for you and be functional and fit your aesthetic. When you started debating wall colors, I immediately thought “this is a lot of theater, she’s gonna go with some form of pink. If she does, I’m gonna skip the rest.” After two polls and all the rest, it felt a bit disingenuous. So minimal shade here-I’m sure you love it.
Yay ❤ I’m going to make my morning coffee and enjoy this video. Her videos make me so happy.
I always watch them with my breakfast on Sunday
The end look is great (as usual), but I was actually digging the blue 👀
I’d love to see it in another makeover
For God's sake! Pink what a surprise! 😢. 🐥
Paint the door! Paint the door! Paint the door!
The multiple runner staircase is so fun! And I wish I had a Graham!
I’m obsessed with the runners on the stairs!
Omg Gram walking up the stairs with the sun hat! When he dropped something I laughed and woke up my husband! You needed a lighter colour on the wall the real dark closes in the space- that pink is perfect! I liked the purple but it was on my bedroom walls in junior high…😢
I thought every choice was just wrong, until I saw the final result! Who would have thought that that stair runner would such a delightful impact! You instincts are so strong and you know when it’s wrong! Great team!
Look at you at 712k subscribers!! So proud and happy, I've been here since it was less than 200k of us. Always loved this channel 🌼
Once again, Graham is your MVP. I really like your basket choices.
What a difference it made! ❤ wow. Shoutout to Graham as always, for the little custom made touches. He’s simply the best.
This makeover was extraordinary! But then again, all your makeovers blow me away!!!! And I loved the process of finding the right color! Thank you for another great video!!
I’m binge-watching all your makeover videos right now and it was so nice to see a new one pop up! So good and fun (as always).
This channel is such a beautiful find. I just can’t get over how high-quality and creative the makeovers, DIYs, and the editing are and how well you work as a team. Team AG is the sweetest and funniest and just so freaking talented!
I am only a few minutes into this video and I have to say before I continue on, that you switching to the red earthtones was a great idea. Right away I noticed that there is a stained glass window in the space and I don't know the exact color of the flower, but I think it pairs nicely with those colors. Can't wait to see the final product, so I will get back to watching your video. I enjoy them all. I hate it when I don't see them weekly.
The new stair runner is the most beautiful thing ever seen! Especially the middle color! A dream 🩷
i think it was the first time i have seen a entryway makeover that is spot on. it does look like it is to provide solutions for every day living and not a wow we took EVERYTHING out look how good it looks! and it is just beautiful, solution oriented and .. its everything! so so so good!
love this! congrats!
So much sass from James in this one, love it!! 💅
Great job!! Love that you at least *tried* to do something new with colour, even though you weren't feeling it. The end result is beautiful and totally YOU.
🤔 Didn't you used to have a Boho runner on the stairs? I loved that. It was light and airy, but also gave the area a classic, old world look.
Old lady in The Netherlands loves your work and show. Is good to watch serious and fun young ppl get their groove on. Working for yourselves.
Living small, not wasteful is smart. Right on!
Every one of you are great characters but I do love Graham. 😂
I noticed in one of your last videos, and your ThredUp haul in this one confirmed it - tops that fit like the red and white checked one are the most flattering cut and fit I’ve ever seen on you! They just seem to work so well with your body type. I’m not a fashion person, so I don’t know what they’re called, but they are absolutely perfect on you.
SHUT UP! This turned out so freaking cute and appealing. What a great way to be greeted when you walk in the door. SO many things I love in this video. GAH!
The entryway is just beautiful. Love all of the colour choices, the rugs going up the stairs and Graham did such a great job on the little shelves. They are so practical. Everything was so well thought out. Good job Alexandra and Team Gator.
always love the bloopers at the end! pls never get rid of them
James was feeling FEISTY this week
A fabulous transformation
I'm glad that you have placed all of your tote bags in one bag. It looks neater.😊
The word that came to my mind when you show j us the finished hallway was” very sweet “ I also thought like your paint choice fit the time period of your home.
Hahahaha I'm kinda cross that we didn't get to hear the reaction to Graham saying "this is giving poo" about the sulking room colour 🤣
Just finding the right balance is all part of the process 😊 turned out great ❤ love the stair runner!
Yay ❤ I’m going to make my morning coffee and enjoy this video. Her videos make me so happy
Same!! My favorite channel.
Your hair is SO complimented by the final color!!!
So nice but I couldn't stop thinking about Noah and the 'pink' again.
I'm like you I use China Doll pink (half) I've used this paint colour for over 20 years and don't think I could walk into my home with any other colour and feel as good as I do.
The blue was more periwinkle with purple vibes to me. James your editing is always ON POINT!! ❤😂
The paint that was finally decided on is so neat. It looked so much more bricky when you were working in the space, but in the end shots was so much softer and rosy. Love it for your space!
The way I gasped when you selected that original color- very happy you changed your mind it looks great!
You've already chosen a colour by now, but at minute eight I'm excited about Reddened Earth with the flowers on the window!
I’m dying over the Moroccan runner! I wish I could afford the rugs to do that on my stairs! I love your style. The sulking room pink with the rugs! Beautiful!
I am in awe of your functional design ideas. Such an inspiration that “i can see your light” in my moodboard😅
~love from India
The color of the wall at 24:44 looks so different than up in your bedroom. Lighting changes colors so much! Fascinating.
On another note... those runners on the stairs are sublime!
Gives you a hug when you walk through the front door & Its beautiful
Absolutely always change a colour that does not lift your spirit. I love the F&B sulking pink, your so much fun 🙏🏼😊💖
The best thing about this entryway is that the area when you open the door looks exactly like mine so I can use this same design! 😊
You have Captured the atmosphere of days gone by. Excellent lighting effect with the green shade
This is such a cute and functional space! One tip for those future awkwardly placed switches, Caseta has a “remote” switch that can be paired with a wired switch so you can place the remote switch wherever you want one. And with that in mind, I can’t stop wondering how it would feel if the door swing was reversed so that beautiful window is the first glimmer that greets you.
I love the different runners going up the staiway❤❤❤😊
At first, I wasn't a fan of the different stairs runners. Now, I'm pleasantly surprised at how much i really like the idea!
The runners on the stairs are exquisite & make the space!
Stop with the waves already!( they looked dated before you first used them 🤮)
blue is an extremely anxious color .
The paint color was wise because it goes so well with the stained glass! Love this space!
I think it's said almost every time you post a video, but everyone truly needs a "Graham" in their life.
Seriously, just wow! I am blown away! Those final photos are STUNNING!!!
Very nice! I love how a number of the items share a scalloped edging. Another decor success story.
Graham's "I found in the garbage", a statement I equally say in my day to day, and it just makes me laugh her responses every time😹 Team repurposing "garbage"!
Ya'll are so funny! At 20:48, someone is taking cell phone pics, then shows a pic of a lovely cat. 🤣Absolutely love this color in the hall. Great choice!
Your entryway has been 'Alexanderized' - and I love it. I SO understand your paint dilemma - sometimes you know exactly what color you want - you don't second guess yourself, etc. Then other times, the vision isn't quite there - you try to wait for the inspo to come to you - but nothing seems like the right fit. So glad you chose the Sulking Room Pink - I had the feeling you were going to go back to one of your favorites, and why not!! The wavy edge designs on your coat/storage rack area really gives a unique and personalized touch (yeah Graham!). When designs come together it really does give your such a sense of satisfaction!
Thank you! When you enter the home, you set the tone. Only one other change. I would change the door (if you can) to have more light in the entryway, but the makeover looks good.
The entry gives the first impression into a home it is an important space. Yours flows so well now and looks inviting and beautiful.
Life is so different for Canadians. I live in California. It's much easier to find storage for a pair of flip-flops. 🙂
The purple walls were giving monica's apartment from friends, am I wrong? Kind of expecting to see a picture frame on the front door 😂 but I love how it turned out in the end ❤
First.. your hair looks so pretty long with the beachy waves, also pretty slicked back with middle part & low bun. You just have beautiful hair!😊 Music To My Eyes😂😂 I'll bee using that one! Obsessed with the stair runner(s).. gorgeous!❤ I think you definitely went with the right paint color, looks better than any of the other ones for this space. Well.. everyone needs a Graham to customize all their spaces, he's awesome! Lucky you!😁 The entire space is just a dream! Its all beautiful, and so much functionality.. love it❤ And all the colors are beautiful together.. and looks more your style for sure😉 Great Job.. again! TFS
Love that paint colour. Maybe decluttering your jackets will also improve that space. It's a waste to clutter that gorgeous spot. Wish I had me a Graham😊
I love how the fuschia carpet runner halfway up linked to the stained glass 💓
Oh gosh Alexandra, this entry way looks so cozy and beautiful, love the stairs and all of those different rugs put on them it is a beautiful combination. I have to be honest I love purple and have a lot of purple colors and things in my home, I love dark purple and light colored purple, it is my birth color which is amethist because I was born in February and funny I am called the Purple Lady alot, Lol!! Oh also so many great shelves and decorative hooks and those cute custom shelves Graham made for the side of that cute shelf. I also love those light socket covers that you can paint any color you love. Also love those storage baskets on that shelf. Oh this entryway really has such a beautiful vibe so much better than the before, it has so many awesome things on the walls and shelves I am so happy to see this makeover and once again you always inspire me to get busy on making over my livingroom, and that will happen this springtime. thanks so much again for this great video that was super fun to watch, have a beautiful and blessed rest of your day, sending love and hugs to all of your great crew, bye!! 😄😍🤗👋👍🙏💜💜💜
I love that everything ties back to petal shapes. Really good practical use of the space 👏🏻
Beautiful colours, instantly welcoming. I love the runners.
The entryway looks great and the stairs are stunning. Great ideas everywhere.
So cute!! You are sooo fortunate to have that beautiful stained glass window in your space. The paint color looks gorgeous with it!
I'd love to see a "make do or do without" type makeover, where you challenge yourselves to design a space using only supplies you already have in the workshop, and/or any additional materials have to be secondhand purchases (or, you know, found in the trash XD)!
Thank you so much for sharing the struggle around the colour choice! It's so good to hear that even the experts find the decision making hard and that there's no problem to it and it's part of the journey❤ love the result! It's like a cuddle for everyone entering your home❤
Super fun video! There are a zillion colors I love so sometimes narrowing it down is a struggle. Love how relatable you are!
Love the ikea shoe storage. The revamped storage “closet” area looks great with addition of custom shelves and beautiful baskets!!
Love the runner. The new paint colour complements the stained window perfectly.
Wow!!! I love the makeover ❤ and the laughs when you changed your mind about the paint color.😊
Baskets are so great because you can store stuff in them 🤣🤣
