Ok everyone! Vanessa here putting in my two cents! Alexandra totally gets me and understood what I needed for functionality for the office. I never sit for hours on end so no need for a traditional office chair... not to mention it wouldn't have gone with the aesthetics of the space or our brand. The table in the middle of the room allows me to look outside at the green space (lucky me!) and I find the functionality of a large work space in the middle of the room great for packaging, planning, designing and reviewing our brand with my business partner Sandra. I absolutely adore it 💗 and haven't changed a thing, maybe I could work on keeping it tidy 🙋🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Ok as long as you happy it is great but please please take the modem out of the box find a basket preferably metal with lots of wholes and just turn the basket on the modem if really bothers you to see it. Fire hazard hot modem hot cords etc. Enjoy your work place. Good luck with your business.
I totally get the table in her office, it reminds me of a communal workspace. She is a mother of 3 young kids, this space has enough room for all of them if need be; I imagine her working, her children drawing, playing, endless possibilities! Way to go Alexandra.
I don't know how Vanessa works or what her daily works habits entail, but aesthetically speaking it's really on brand. I looked at the fique + clay instagram page and the clean, muted pastel aesthetic is really complimentary to their ethos and I am assuming that it's really different from the rest of the house so when Vanessa walks in that room it really feels like fique + clay. As for people complaining about how much the light cost, Alexandra had a budget and used it as she saw fit. I am sure that after Alexandra leaves most people add there own touches into the room to customise it to their own personal liking by adding, moving or taking something away. I'm really glad that Vanessa liked the makeover - it's really pretty.
As a professional organizer, I highly approve of this office! 💗 It is gorgeous and functional. The computer chords other people have mentioned are not really an issue these days because most people use laptops, and charging it only requires one chord when it is needed. As for the printer, I run a business as well and my printer is stored in a cabinet because it is used pretty infrequently in these days of digital files. When I do need to use my printer, I pull it out and plug it in and use it and replace it when done. It is not heavy or a big deal, and it leaves my space feeling so much more peaceful without it being visible all the time. I know that not everyone's business or lifestyle will work with that but it certainly does work for a lot of people. 💗 And gorgeous job with the labeled boxes!! 😁👍
Thank you for this. I recently just got done redoing my own office and if it weren’t minimal and aesthetically pleasing, I wouldn’t use it. It wouldn’t inspire me and I wouldn’t go in there to work. For most people, a printer is only used occasionally and I personally don’t need supplies at the ready, almost everything I do is virtual. I also like all of the seating at the desk, would make it easy to have meetings if anyone ever came over. The point is that an office needs to work for the individual - maybe this office wouldn’t work for many of the commenters, but it would work for me and many others. We all have to cater to our individual needs!
Whoever did your makeup for the sit-down in front of your book shelf did an amazing job!! Your skin is looking glowing, the eyelids have a nice sheen, and the lip pairs great with your complexion!
I love minimalism but if it's an office, one HAS to cater to chords! A printer tucked away is not always handy, and a laptop or pc wud have chords, esp if one is working for a few hours together... so where does she plug in to work? Plus, with small kids in the house who may run in, proper chord management becomes that much more important. Also, a laptop screen with the window behind may not be ideal (assuming she sits on the chair to work). I wud prefer the screen to be at an angle or keep the window in front of the workspace, so that there is no reflection and the person can look up for awhile and have a nice view to rest the eyes. For these reasons, would love to see a follow-up for designed spaces - to see how the client actually ends up using the space in real life, for future reference n learning ☺
The client has replied to her Instagram post in a very positive manner. Apparently she has been using this office for 6 months now and is very happy with it.
This makeover was one that had a lot of organizational elements, along with nautral and neutral tones. I really loved that along with the shelves (the new ones and the ones already there), as well as the organizational floor storage. Kudos!
Yeah same! I got super confused. All I could think about is if was Vanessa I wouldn’t be completely happy with the makeover cause it is an office after all
Yes! I cant imagine myself work for hours on that bench or that chair, even having my client sitting on the bench feel unprofessional for me. The bench create too much intimacy for a work space
I was thinking that too. And there’s not really any easy access to plugs for her to charge her phone or computer. It might not be the most functional but it is pretty. Maybe it’ll work for Vanessa’s purposes if she’s spending most of her time drawing or something, but I don’t think it’d last that way for me. I need pens and postits and plugs and all that stuff for my work.
Me tooo i was sooo confused like give the poor women a proper chair n professional space tht can host clients at n be proud not a dining table n a bench
@@jazsminedavid1083 taking the lid off will let it breath, but appliances can get hot and are not designed to be near paper products. Also one was a modem, the other was a DVR which gets far hotter as ISPs don't design them they just outsource to a vendor who makes them for the cheapest price. I'm even betting it's a set top box not a DVR though judging from the size alone.
Yes, I enjoy her channel and she is very creative, funny, and sweet. I really like her and she is talented. In this makeover, I don't know what she could have done to really change the functionality that much, I mean, it's an office. But, I would have loved to have seen some other accessories other than the same type she often includes from other shows (hanging basket light, the faux fur, and same light colors). I loved the long brown desk too. She's been using the same decorating ideas and products for a while now and it isn't very original.
I'm glad someone said it. The table could have been closer to the shelves and have a nice seating area with comfy chairs. I'm tired of the same looking light fixtures in every makeover she does.
I am confused by the kitchen table as many others. Would have liked to hear a bit more about the why. Is the mom of three maybe joined by her kids during work? For instance, the kids do their homework or just draw something while she is working? (youngest just startet school, right?). Does she also need a place to meet with customers/partners that is off from the rest of the family home? Or a good place to stage her clay products? Like, a table is more versatile than a desk, and I personally have worked at one before too.
For me this makeover is great. I work from home and I have 2 laptops and a monitor. Such a desk is a must. Mine is actually an ikea dining table. Oh, and I sometimes do eat in front of computers, so need that extra space. And funny enough I have the same style chairs, they are very comfortable and you can stretch your back by tipping over. As for hiding the printer. Guys, it’s an option! It’s nice to be able to hide it! It’s a pain when you have to always have everything on display. Great job, Alexandra!
I love the color palette and the baskets. The space seems to work well for the client. I’m probably missing something but maybe this room isn’t an office and more of a collaborative work space? In that case it’s perfect. But again, there’s no personal office chair or anything
Or maybe she is doing different things every day, like meetings, shipping, photography, email. I think the client is taller than I am but a dining table would be too high for me to work on a computer, so maybe some adjustable leveling feet would be helpful on that table.
I LOVE this makeover!! I have been using a dining table as a desk for years because I huge cutting mat that I use for sewing and crafting and regular desks don't quite work. And while I don't have kiddos (aside from our kitties haha), I can totally see hers camping out on that bench while mom gets her work done! ❤
This looks nice and may fit the aesthetic of Fique + Clay, but I agree with mostly everyone else, it doesn’t seem functional. That trash can so far away from the actually working space, no drawers near the table, those chairs. Also, I feel like Alexandra works in the same design element all the time. A room always feels like her tastes instead of her client. It’s the same pale pink, “sage green”, rattan light fixtures. I’m dying for something different.
Robbie Sue Eichman I just keep hoping one day she’s going to surprise us like “what all that smack y’all was talking”. I get having something you’re known for, but the spaces are for other people. Everyone doesn’t want pink, some abstract wallpaper or print somewhere, Pom Pom and tassels, and especially the variations of rattan light fixtures.
I disagree with a lot people here this room is beautiful she can pull things out that she needs to use then set it back into the right organized order when finished. Function & Fancy together ... what a perfect mix. God knows when you are working from home you need both. Good job!
I love the pale mint green paint, the table, chairs, bench and light fixture. To add a punch of color to the wall with shelving that is bland, I'd regroup just four of the colored prints where they are and hang the other two on top of each other on the wall next to the shelves. It'd also be great to add a larger framed piece with color over the desk. This way your room is balanced with neutrals and colors all the way around to create a better flow. Also, you might want to consider using a Cricut machine for your labeling. It makes a more professional statement, and there are so many fonts to choose from.
I loved the idea of using a gorgeous dining room table as a desk. But I have to ask - how was that table suppose to be actually used as a desk for her company? The two chairs and bench threw me off.
We’re does the computer cord go? And I can say, from experience, tucking the printer away , in such a small space, doesn’t work. Also, the trash can needs to be by the desk.
This is amazing!! People are so harsh the comments. I see their points, but they also don´t have the same office needs as your client obviously has. Neither do they know everything your clients say they want before the actual makeover. So, I absolutely love this makeover because it makes me think out of the box, and I find the dinner table idea really inspiring. Thank you for all your great videoes, Alexandra! Big hug from Norway!
hii alexandra i'm going to be a stickler for a sec... on shelves like that those succulents are just going to die. they need to be in a window sill. i am sorry to be annoying but as a plant person it really makes me sad to think about how those plants are just going to die a slow death. could you incorporate trailing plants like pothos or vining heart-leaf philodendron into your next makeover instead? the green vines would also look very nice contrasted against all of the white, and, it is an easy plant for non-plant people to care for
Loved this makeover - much more inspiring space that didn't feel like a typical stress-filled 'home office'. The mix of colour, texture, layout and placement was really thoughtfull and represented the client's brand without over thinking it. The dining table was genius! Well done!
You have gotten so good at this. You look really pretty and professional. This is your style and anyone who likes it should get your help and hire you.
I love the vibe of this place. It feels like a showroom for the brand so I guess it would be inspirational space to work in. I agree with some comments in that it appears to lack functionality but Vanessa has clarified in the comments that it is what she needs so maybe this did not come across better in the editing. Traditional office spaces do require plug points and stationary near them so perhaps that would have been something to think about but that’s not what Vanessa needed
Just liked the books on those cool shelves. It gave the room some interest and didn’t look so sterile. Lined up white boxes doesn’t do it for me, but I realize it’s subjective.
Just FYI most dining tables are higher than desks. I always find it very uncomfortable working on a dining table. I would love if the makeover was a little more about function and comfort and not only looks.
I love everything about this makeover. It looks like one of those fancy, fresh stores in Yorkville. Organized, calm, beautiful and inviting. Also, Alexandra's looking extra gorge!
I think functionality wise, the room and it’s layout BEFORE served much better. I like the idea of the dining table, but adding a desk makes no sense in a work space because you need to sit down for long hours, and the desk provides zero back support. And although I like the idea of storage boxes, in a workplace you NEED things at quick access all the time and the boxes would just become inconvenient in the long run when used to store daily essentials. I think the space needed a large work surface with plenty of storage, maybe like an island with plenty of drawers in the middle of the room.
To be fair, a lot of the stuff in the baskets were manuals, or the marathon placards. They aren’t actually things needed for work, this rooms serves a dual purpose of storage so I do think the baskets for most of those things make sense.
It’s beautiful! I get the point of practicality in the comments... I guess it would be helpful to understand how the office space works? Maybe not everyone sits at the desk for hours, maybe it’s a space where people need to meet and discuss, etc. It wouldn’t work for me but it doesn’t mean it can’t work for someone else. Loving the blush and gold chairs!
Like most makeovers, presumably the client will have to tweak it to make it work for her. A desk chair will likely be first on her list. But you gave her a pretty space to build on.
I love it! Every bit of it! She obviously loves it! You have such a great way of making rooms look like that’s the way they always should have! Thank goodness for people like you, we would all do what we always have done!
First of all your hair looks very pretty pulled up. Now to the room. Very airy and serene and neat. I would have left the original desk where it was with the garbage can nearby as well as plugs available. Rather than the bench I would have put a couple of chairs and small table in the open space. A desk lamp would be handy too. I liked that you showcased the company products.
You did such amazing work! You really incorporated the stylings of the her brand into a clean and welcoming space. Way to boost the appeal of her products! You've gotta be what emoty rooms dream of, lol. Great job!
This was a stunning space!!! My practice soul would personally put the printer on the desk because I use it so much 😂. I have a dream that in a few years when I move back into my own space again, I can afford to hire you and your team bring my own vision to life, but I wasn’t sure if you did that (I can visualize what I want but need the experts to take it off my mind page) or if you only do surprise makeovers?? I love your work and wish you much success!! As for the white fluff baby at the end 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🏽
I mean... it looks pretty but it's not really a functional home office. Office does not have to be primarily stylish or fancy, it needs to be functional and clean, so you can work at home without distraction. She needs a big comfy office chair, table preferably not in the middle of the room (assuming she has a computer that she needs to plug it in the wall), office supplies and other necessities should be accessible (not tucked away in boxes high up on the shelves) and the same goes for printer. Does it look stunning? Yes, of course!
I agree. Normally Love-Love-Love Alexandra's ideas but this seems very impractical. Thinking about sitting in one of those chairs for a couple of hours made my lower back twinge.
Maybe she uses laptop or notebook, rarely anyone these days uses printers, but she can always put it on the dresser/desk thing in the corner and print by Bluetooth
It's so funny there's always these kinds of comments lol... This woman has 3 kids.. she's not gonna be kicking back in a big comfy office chair 😂 she's prob gonna have her kids colouring at the table with her etc Alexandra always talks W the people about what they need so just because this doesn't match YOUR idea of what this woman's office should be, doesn't mean anything
@@carlyh6913 To me, the whole office redesign seemed more like plug for the business than a real redesign... So the owner can change whatever she doesn't like and life goes on... with possibly thousands more people who have heard of her company. Didn't love the video being an advertisement but it's TH-cam and I get how promotion works. That said, the promotion of the company could have been more subtle/natural though.
Wow, this one is really pro. Your style normally particularly speaks to young people/teenagers, but here you showed that this is not your only target public :) great job!
Looks great. I'm a bit older, so I'd need a real office chair ... but love the amount of space on that dining room table and the soft pink chairs for for visitors/clients. And yes, that cat has a doctorate in cute!!
Looks really beautiful! Could you do a makeover for an artist sometime! I make paintings, and other creative things, and I struggle to keep my workspace organized. Could use some example as inspiration. The painting easel is always in the way, when I'm working on a painting, everything looks messy and cluttered. And I struggle to throw things away, like stuff for making bracelets, eventhough I haven't actually made one in 2 years...
I love how fresh but earthy this feels, I bet this small business owner can really breathe in there now. She should be Instagramming the heck out of that awfice! 🙌🙌🙌🙌

Ok as long as you happy it is great but please please take the modem out of the box find a basket preferably metal with lots of wholes and just turn the basket on the modem if really bothers you to see it. Fire hazard hot modem hot cords etc. Enjoy your work place. Good luck with your business.
I love the makeover, but is no one going to talk about how stunning and radiant and gorgeous Alexandra looks in a red lip and dangly earrings?
IKR!!!! THAT IS BEST RED LIP
@@alvarez0536 Yeah she got her makeup artist back it seems? pandemic lifting and all there
She does look extra beautiful !
So agree! Love that hairstyle with the earrings and lip color
Totally agree!!!
I totally get the table in her office, it reminds me of a communal workspace. She is a mother of 3 young kids, this space has enough room for all of them if need be; I imagine her working, her children drawing, playing, endless possibilities! Way to go Alexandra.
No!!! The modem needs ventilation!!
I was expecting some basket with holes in in it instead of a box
yess I was hoping someone would say thisss
Take the lid off and it is already better
Not only needs ventilation, but also the wifi signal! Why nobody thinks about the wifi signal!?
@@MoonAisPad as a wifi signal will go through concrete walls, it'll manage to go through a carton lid, don't you think?
there are 3 holes in the box.
I don't know how Vanessa works or what her daily works habits entail, but aesthetically speaking it's really on brand. I looked at the fique + clay instagram page and the clean, muted pastel aesthetic is really complimentary to their ethos and I am assuming that it's really different from the rest of the house so when Vanessa walks in that room it really feels like fique + clay.

Putting equipment that needs to breath into a majority sealed enclosure without fans for ventilation is a major fire risk, don't do that.
She can always take the top off of the box.. it’s not like she nailed it closed
@@jazsminedavid1083 taking the lid off will let it breath, but appliances can get hot and are not designed to be near paper products.

Alexandra is the queen of aesthetic but honestly sometimes the functionality of these rooms seem off
same
That beautiful long brown desk that matched more could have been repurposed. And the shelving needed to be rustic brown not black... IMO

Is the mom of three maybe joined by her kids during work? For instance, the kids do their homework or just draw something while she is working? (youngest just startet school, right?).

So glamorous, trendy, yet fully functional. Perfect.
This product decor really is a hit
Her reaction is my reaction! 🙌🏽

Nice use of space! So much more room to work around.
Hi I really like your makeovers but in this case I think this room instead of looking like a office looks like a dinner room!
Sweet makeover! You always transform office spaces to something tranquil!
Just liked the books on those cool shelves. It gave the room some interest and didn’t look so sterile. Lined up white boxes doesn’t do it for me, but I realize it’s subjective.
Rocking that red lipstick!! Gorgeous with or without makeup. Your skin is great - could you do a skincare vid? ❤️❤️
I really love how this makeover turned out.
I love the dining table with the bench! Perfect for her kids to come and hang out while she works.
I'm obsessed with your office makeovers... 🙂 🤗
Just FYI most dining tables are higher than desks. I always find it very uncomfortable working on a dining table. I would love if the makeover was a little more about function and comfort and not only looks.
I love everything about this makeover. It looks like one of those fancy, fresh stores in Yorkville. Organized, calm, beautiful and inviting. Also, Alexandra's looking extra gorge!
I think functionality wise, the room and it’s layout BEFORE served much better. I like the idea of the dining table, but adding a desk makes no sense in a work space because you need to sit down for long hours, and the desk provides zero back support. And although I like the idea of storage boxes, in a workplace you NEED things at quick access all the time and the boxes would just become inconvenient in the long run when used to store daily essentials. I think the space needed a large work surface with plenty of storage, maybe like an island with plenty of drawers in the middle of the room.
To be fair, a lot of the stuff in the baskets were manuals, or the marathon placards. They aren’t actually things needed for work, this rooms serves a dual purpose of storage so I do think the baskets for most of those things make sense.
AmandasAfterword yea, baskets for non important things are fine, but for daily essentials are not.
You're so blooming these days. 💕 I love all the things you do. Keep up the good work and continue inspiring us. ❤️
Wow, looks very posh and legit! 💛
Absolutely beautiful! Love the retro label maker!
Really beautiful. Clean with simple lines but still very decorative and intriguing. Well done!
Beautiful job and your hair and makeup is amazing
Lovely end result. You really are talented to do this.
It’s beautiful! I get the point of practicality in the comments... I guess it would be helpful to understand how the office space works? Maybe not everyone sits at the desk for hours, maybe it’s a space where people need to meet and discuss, etc. It wouldn’t work for me but it doesn’t mean it can’t work for someone else. Loving the blush and gold chairs!
I hop by the time I see this in 2024 that you now have a Cricut machine. MUCH more beautiful labeling. I love your work!
Like most makeovers, presumably the client will have to tweak it to make it work for her. A desk chair will likely be first on her list.
But you gave her a pretty space to build on.
Love your hair, love your makeup, love your earrings. You look gorgeous.
Love the room! But where did she get that floating shelf and cabinet from before the makeover?! It’s stunning
Perhaps the lamp could have been switched for a bright and well-sitting office chair. Goodness, $ 150, -
I think this one is my favorite, but I have to have to work in a clo-ffice. Amazing job, Alexandra!
She legit turned off the lights when he was still working on something 😂 that’s so cute🐥
No. Not cute, it's rude.
I love it! Every bit of it!
She obviously loves it!
You have such a great way of making rooms look like that’s the way they always should have!
Thank goodness for people like you, we would all do what we always have done!
You are such a breath of fresh air with so much talent you are the best from London ont Canada hugs Liz
First of all your hair looks very pretty pulled up. Now to the room. Very airy and serene and neat. I would have left the original desk where it was with the garbage can nearby as well as plugs available. Rather than the bench I would have put a couple of chairs and small table in the open space. A desk lamp would be handy too. I liked that you showcased the company products.
First of all stunning Alexandra!!😍 and the make over 🤎
You did such amazing work! You really incorporated the stylings of the her brand into a clean and welcoming space. Way to boost the appeal of her products! You've gotta be what emoty rooms dream of, lol. Great job!
Really great job! So pretty! 👍🏻😊♥️
Sweet little girl baby gater!
Looks GREAT!!!!💖💖💖💖💖
This was a stunning space!!! My practice soul would personally put the printer on the desk because I use it so much 😂. I have a dream that in a few years when I move back into my own space again, I can afford to hire you and your team bring my own vision to life, but I wasn’t sure if you did that (I can visualize what I want but need the experts to take it off my mind page) or if you only do surprise makeovers?? I love your work and wish you much success!! As for the white fluff baby at the end 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🏽
Love this one!! Such an awesome job.
Such a beautiful makeover! Love, love, looooove the accent wall. 💗☺️
Alexandra is so prettyyyy 💕
Hi Alexandra! 🙋♀️
Love how you look with dangly earrings!!! 💃✨
The office space looks much more inviting than before. 👍🖼️🏺😄
Blessings! 🏝️🏞️♥️✨
It looks beautiful ! Love that table/desk !!
I mean... it looks pretty but it's not really a functional home office. Office does not have to be primarily stylish or fancy, it needs to be functional and clean, so you can work at home without distraction. She needs a big comfy office chair, table preferably not in the middle of the room (assuming she has a computer that she needs to plug it in the wall), office supplies and other necessities should be accessible (not tucked away in boxes high up on the shelves) and the same goes for printer. Does it look stunning? Yes, of course!
I agree. Normally Love-Love-Love Alexandra's ideas but this seems very impractical. Thinking about sitting in one of those chairs for a couple of hours made my lower back twinge.
I agree as well.
Maybe she uses laptop or notebook, rarely anyone these days uses printers, but she can always put it on the dresser/desk thing in the corner and print by Bluetooth
It's so funny there's always these kinds of comments lol... This woman has 3 kids.. she's not gonna be kicking back in a big comfy office chair 😂 she's prob gonna have her kids colouring at the table with her etc Alexandra always talks W the people about what they need so just because this doesn't match YOUR idea of what this woman's office should be, doesn't mean anything
@@carlyh6913 To me, the whole office redesign seemed more like plug for the business than a real redesign... So the owner can change whatever she doesn't like and life goes on... with possibly thousands more people who have heard of her company.
Didn't love the video being an advertisement but it's TH-cam and I get how promotion works. That said, the promotion of the company could have been more subtle/natural though.
OMG BABY LOTTIE!!!!!!
Love the transformation! 😍😍😍
Wow, this one is really pro. Your style normally particularly speaks to young people/teenagers, but here you showed that this is not your only target public :) great job!
Best make over you have ever done! 👏 well done
I’ve been refreshing TH-cam all evening (in the UK) waiting for this video 😍 fave content
You’re blooming, love your look with the dangling earrings!!!
Looks great. I'm a bit older, so I'd need a real office chair ... but love the amount of space on that dining room table and the soft pink chairs for for visitors/clients. And yes, that cat has a doctorate in cute!!
I love this! Amazing transformation.
Looks really beautiful! Could you do a makeover for an artist sometime! I make paintings, and other creative things, and I struggle to keep my workspace organized. Could use some example as inspiration. The painting easel is always in the way, when I'm working on a painting, everything looks messy and cluttered. And I struggle to throw things away, like stuff for making bracelets, eventhough I haven't actually made one in 2 years...
I 👏🏿 love 👏🏿 this 👏🏿 office 👏🏿
I love how fresh but earthy this feels, I bet this small business owner can really breathe in there now. She should be Instagramming the heck out of that awfice! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
You look extra gorgeous in this video!!! Love the hairstyle and red lipstick!!! 💗
