What I appreciate about your videos is that they are about inspiration over aspiration. Influencer culture is rooted in an authoritative hierarchy in which an elite class prescribes specific ways of living to "followers" (yikes)--an unsustainable and inherently oppressive paradigm that encourages people to forever aspire for the unattainable. Here, you're sharing your creative life and ways of being, encouraging inspiration and real community. It is imperfect, messy, slow, and resistant to capitalist hustle culture--how BEAUTIFUL! :)
I don’t know how to respond to this fantastic comment and class analysis of influencer culture, but I deeply appreciate it and I might frame it. Thank you!
I think you've found your corner of the internet! Everyone in the comments seem to have enjoyed seeing your process unfold over time, me included! It was realistic, and we need more realistic depictions of design and living on the internet during an era of instant gratification. I love your videos, and I'm so happy to have found your channel! Ps, really enjoyed the whole spider dilemma too 😂 Sending good vibes from Cape Town, South Africa.
I like to see the realistic way a room gets madeover, the rooms in my place are definately taking me a long time to get how I want them to be. Thank you for the inspiration. I love the space! It looks very cozy and bright!
I love this!!!! Thank you for sharing an honest, real person, real budget, real time frame, real energy, real struggle makeover. Your space is absolutely beautiful! The transformation is amazing! But, also, realistic. Your emotional journey, it was necessary and deeply craved. I have so many emotions tied to spaces and transforming them to meet my standards and then just life’s journeys and the emotions tied to them. Thank you for sharing them. ❤
Thank you for sharing this with me! It means a lot to see that the video made you feel that way. Homes are obviously very personal and there’s a lot of emotions stored in the rooms and the objects we place in them. I’m happy to enjoyed this 💘
Yeees !! Alejandra you have done such a good job !!! I absolutely loved that vidéo, thé storytelling, the context, you make us dive into your world and chronology and that was great !!! I love the room ! The daybed cover is very cool, and i like that is feels airy, fonctionnal and especially : personnal. That woodfloor is wonderful and makes everything very classy so you had a beautiful canvas to work on but really, I understand so much the neverending struggle of putting a room together so BRAVO ! I even loved the weird door as it is :) but maybe with a contrasting color or a curtain, it will look gorgeous too ! Wonderful job🎉
It is an amazing room for sure! I love everything about it! Thank you so much! I still have lots of things I want to do in the room but this feels like good steps in the right direction 💘💕
Wish I were there so I could help you paint and move furniture. I love that stuff. You did a fabulous job and it looks so good. I particularly like the reddish striped chair with blue organic fabric on the pillow. That combo is right up my alley.
Hi Alejandra. Thank you for this long awaited video. You did a great job, you are so creative. I love how you are doing everything yourselves. The final result looks great. I too have mould in our rental apartment, I haven't cleaned it yet, it's a bit overwhelming. I love your authenticity. ♥🪡🧵🌹
Hi Alejandra! I agree with everybody here you did an amazing job! Currently working on re-designing my new apartment. Now that I'm in this new layout, I have to make some drastic changes. The space feels cozy, colorful and chic.
That looks great!! You did a very good job! I like the weird looking door...it fits perfectly in (whats behind it?). And also thanks for saying "I decided to be happy". I needed that today.
The weird door is actually quite charming, and it leads to our bedroom - it’s cute but a little unnecessary imo. Uh, some days are like that, we just need to decide that we’re happy and ignore thoughts that are telling us otherwise. Take care 🫶
6 months is nothing compared to some of my home projects, ugghh. This turned out great! what did you use to treat the little wooden shelf for records ?
Thank you! The red/white striped fabric I used for the chair is bought at SelfMade here in Denmark, and the blue/wave fabric that is on the blue pillow in the chair is a scrap piece I got from my family, don’t know where it’s from. 💕
So happy for you Alejandra! Looks lovely!! I absolutely love the desk, and the day bed looks much nicer with the brown cover!! May I suggest you paint the door and frame in a light greenish/grey color? I watched this home tour yesterday ( will link it here: th-cam.com/video/cMuuV2GHnGs/w-d-xo.html ) and I think it would look lovely! =D kiss kiss

Hahaha those fucking spiders are trying to take over my home!!! And yes, I believe so! My heart is flooding over with love. 🥹💘

You are too sweet! It is quite fun, but a little exhausting to do alone sometimes. Mm it’s a nice combo for sure! Like it to! Thanks 🌸
Congratulations ! So much work went into this
Indeed! 😅 Thank you so much!
What a beautiful outcome!

Thank you so much! I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the video despite the wait 🤭 You have to be very careful when cleaning that! 💕

Thank you so much! Oh, the start of a project is always exciting. 💕
Been looking forward to this one for ages 🎉
Me too! 😅💕

Parabéns! Ficou muito bem.
Obrigado 🌸💘
6 months is nothing compared to some of my home projects, ugghh. This turned out great! what did you use to treat the little wooden shelf for records ?
It’s wood stain! 💕
The room looks super beautiful! Nicely done! Do you know the fabric brand of this beautiful pillow fabric? It’s stunning
Thank you! The red/white striped fabric I used for the chair is bought at SelfMade here in Denmark, and the blue/wave fabric that is on the blue pillow in the chair is a scrap piece I got from my family, don’t know where it’s from. 💕
