Has she watched the Aristocats??? Madames mansion estate looks just like this and I have an entire Pinterest board for it because it’s so fricken CUTE !!!!
Can we love on Andreanne for a minute? She seems like such a delightful, lovely human. It’s thrilling to see someone like her get a room makeover this spectacular.
I totally agree! ❤ She was delightful to watch in the intro and she was so kind and classy at the reveal! I love when Alexandra just kind of giggles and says "right?" 🥰😁😉
As a 61-year-old grandmother, I marvel at how styles cycle through. I see so many references to the decor of the late 80’s-90’s in this space and I’m blown away that anyone could revel in it. But that’s just how it goes from generation to generation. I’m sure that my mother would have been surprised by the amount of love that’s been recently shown for the midcentury modern aesthetic. She was glad to see that style leave but I think it’s great. I think Alexandra accurately recreated the look and it’s lovely to see such a delighted homeowner! I love James’ funny editing touches!!
I'm cracking up, too, because as a 41 year old this was basically what my bedroom looked like between the ages of 7-12. LOL! I was all about those florals, lace, ruffles, and frills. Somehow this space looks amazing, though! It's definitely not exactly my aesthetic but I'm more maximalist than minimalist so a little is totally ok with me.
@@kriscox4019 right?? My fave bedspread set was big pink roses and the accent colors were like sages and white. And pink and white striped ruffles. LOL And I had one beloved curtain (it was a thrift find hence the only one) that was a dusty rose-mauve chiffon-y with of course a ruffle. It really is funny to see all the trends cycle back. Now I know how my parents felt!
I am 52 and my teen bedroom was basically this exact pink with all the ruffles. I made every possible patchwork combination pillow with matching frill. It was super cozy & I loved it. This is very nostalgic
Hi Alexandra & Team! I’m 60 years old and fascinated by your Studio and Tiny Space makeovers! Next year I’ll be downsizing from a 2 bed/2 bath apartment to a basement studio and I’m both excited and NERVOUS! I’ve never lived in a studio before and I’ve already started to declutter ruthlessly. Your videos have given me so many ideas as well as laughs-you and your team have such team spirit and authenticity. 💜
You'll do well. Think of it as an adventure and only surround yourself with things that you absolutely love. I'm 60 also and may be downsizing in a year or two. Good blessings to you.
I've lived in studio apartments most of my adult life. And it is so much fun creating spaces in such a small space. Remember you can use tall bookshelves as walls. You can paint or use peel and stick paper on the back side and use it as a divider, and hang pictures on i. t Bookshelves in general are great dividers. So are dressers. That is just one idea. There is so much you can do in a small space. I am always surprised at how much i never need a couch. We always end up at the round dining table. Somehow food is always involved. Good luck to you.
Alexandra is way too creative to get some cookie-cutter makeover. I love the clothes she chooses and her hair is beautiful. Trolls are jealous, sad people and no one should pay one bit of attention to them. Reply
Your style is one of the reasons why I watch your channel. I love how you're like your spaces: authentic and very aesthetic without being plasticky. I feel really sorry for whoever took the time to try to make you feel 'less than'. They must be very unhappy. Gorgeous, as always.
My mother, the wallpaper Queen, used wallpaper border for everything! She liked to ‘frame’ doorways 😍 and windows😍. She also ‘framed’ gallery walls and massive frameless oil paintings to make them appear even larger (leave about 6” between painting and border). She made our humble homes absolutely fantastic works of art with wallpaper. ❤
I'm 70 and grew up with a twin of the coffee table. My only add to the room would be a combo floor lamp/table to soften the empty corner and angle that gorgeous chair to create a reading nook. With that one change you'll add another function to the sweet cozy room.
Thank you so much, Team AG! I can't even put into words how amazing this experience was and how grateful I am. It's definitely my favourite makeover ever!! 💖
@@jenzz6841 Also laughing from the English Countryside, knowing no one in England would have a house like that. "With" a little mould and damp. New gaff. Will be blitzing that mould.
no no no no....that is not done anything like a English Countryside home. (Maybe the ones that are barking mad....certainly not the people with good taste).
A real English Countryside room would evolve over time. They don't go out and buy everything at once. She put in things she loves but the client may not. That border around the walls is ridiculous. Orange sofa and pepto bismal walls...just no. I really like this girl but I think she needs some color therapy education for one and hope she continues doing her thing. She is awfully sweet. Also, don't buy decor items until the room is already together...please, it is a designer mistake. I don't add these comments just to be trolling. I truly want this sweet girl to develope her talents. I love decorating and I just throw out some ideas so she can continue to improve. I am hooked on this show. Oh, wow, that one where she made the bed into a little private nook was over the top...love it. It was cozy and the bed was no longer the first thing you see when you walk into the place. Good job!
Same here! Even noticing the difference in that fringe on the sofa makes, and the wall paper by the mantle. I'm going thrifting next week in search of inspo.
I know it's hard to thrift special pieces on time crunches, but I would love to see more makeovers with bigger thrifted items (like the chair, coffee table and frame).
Seriously, watching this reveal again, I just don’t understand how you do it. This is such an art. You could have a television show, product line and coffee table books. You are absolutely one of the most talented designers out there. Particularly considering that you have to work within tight constraints of time, space, and money. There are lots of wonderful designers who make similarly beautiful spaces, but that’s when the sky’s the limit in all categories.
While not my esthetic, I am absolutely blown away with how you brought each piece together with the colors, textures and ambiance. Regarding trolls, either block or ignore, or better yet, pay someone else to remove nasty comments before you see them. Not worth your time and energy and your better help therapist would probably agree with me.
Placing a new fireplace frame and mantle on an old fireplace frame is genius. Putting the fringe on a sofa is genius. Lots of great ideas to change up a look. I love the pink wall paint. Beautiful room.
THANK YOU thank you thank you Graham and AG for FINALLY using hard wood in one of your projects. My sister got me into watching your videos and now I can’t stop lol! I’m a hobby woodworker and love working with a range of hard woods and was desperately waiting for Graham to finally use some for one of the projects. I’m not a hater on any pine…. But when it come to furniture or mantel pieces I love me some beautiful wood WITHOUT any stain. Let the wood speak for itself! Also Graham you nailed that fireplace 100%!!!! Love your and AG’s work and creativity!
I don't know why I cry at the room reveal in every single video, especially seeing the Befores and Afters. It's almost as though I'm the owner not them. So happy for them! Your work is beautiful and has exceeded my expectations in every video I've watched so far (I'm a new subscriber). I hope you keep these makeovers coming!
Umm, you literally have the best style in your aesthetic. Every time you’re on screen I’m like “ooo that skirt oooo those earrings!” Gaterbug you are gorgeous and your style compliments you perfectly ❤
I got a cameo appearance!!!!....well, sort of! 😅 Thank you James for the acknowledgement because it was hard work lol!!!!!! As usual, Team AG knocked it out of the ball park. The entire Team AG's hard work is our reward with other weekend videos!!! So proud of each and every one of you. Keep it going!
@@kaycerushI am thinking about the same exact color for my Kitchen cabinets, as well. Either that or Retro Pink by Behr Dynasty paint...the Dusty Rose look is divine.
Hey! I'm a 60-something grandmother, too, and I love the makeover! My Dad (and 7 kids) built our home and he used a scallop-design all over, even on the outside. l love it, love it, AG team. And, your client is truly lucky to have you guys in charge of her makeover. Yea Graham! Fantastic😃
This room is lovely!! I will say that its not really english country style- as someone who obsessively watches a lot of House & Garden UK, the style of ehat you did here is more eclectic than even a modern english farmhouse style. I know some of the mid-century modern pieces here were gifted to you, like the bookshelves, but I think those pieces make it feel more ecletic than farmhouse/granny chic. I would swap the bookcases for a hutch or a chippendale bookcase. The scalloped trim is cute, but theres PVC (if you wanna be budget friendly) ornate crown moulding that would fit the style better. Finally, I think layering pattern and color is very important in this style, but you also need your eyes to breathe. I think the floral wallpaper clashes with the new fireplace- the old one probably would have been a better fit, since it pulls some of the green thats in the leaves of the wallpaper. The pink walls are lovely, but having the curtains also be pink is overwhelming and almost feels a little too chintzy. Its ok to keep some elements simple, so for curtains I feel like a thick linen curtain in white or oatmeal would fit the theme and provide levity to the room. I think the room is really fun and if the client loves it, thats all that matters! This is just feedback from a person who loves interior design for future projects. Statement pieces and colors are amazing, but if everything is a statement, nothing is.
Alexander, you outdid yourself. this isn't even my aesthetic but it made me smile throughout. you are a beautiful lady both inside and out, ignore the trolls.
First off let me say ignore the trolls! I come here week after week, month after month because of your authenticity! YOU are unapologetically YOU! And I LOVE IT!!!! I felt that you hit this out of the ballpark! Andreanne loved it clearly! I see comments all the time we need more color! Well, we got more color and I love it! I don't know how you make patterns looks so great together, your gifted. The fireplace is OMG! Graham you rock! I also loved that flower lamp on the mantle...so sweet! And lastly, I was so happy to see you put a custom cushion in the window! Such a nice spot to sit, have morning coffee or read a magazine while getting some vitamin D. Another thoughtful makeover!
My favorite makeover by far not because of the decor but the recipient Andrienne (not sure of spelling) I like how detailed she was in knowing what she wanted but letting go and trusting Alexandra, then her expression of appreciation at the end. Everyone is appreciative but it was something about her.
I would have cried - this is so stunning- truly one of those projects where it all comes together with those final touches - such a vibe, your team is next level inventive and resourceful and it shows more and more each new episode JUST WOW
Even though I am a literal grandmother, this granny-chic is a bit much for me; although I can always find some great ideas in your small space designs. I watched Nick Lewis comparing the favored styles of Boomer, Gen X, Millennial, and Gen Z members, so it all totally makes sense that your client and I have different tastes. 😎I’m glad she loves her room! ❤❤
I like the green tile on the fireplace and think it would look great with medium wood tone and the green and ivory wallpaper. I’m glad they just made a new surround that fits over.
as usual...in awe...YOU AND GRAHAM WITH THE PEEL AND STICK WALLPAPER...i literally don't know HOW YOU ACCOMPLISHED THAT. and the paint job...perfection. Another bravo for team AG.
Everything about that room is my idea of 70s hell. But I'm still incredibly impressed that you took the contents of someone's mind and made it real. I hate it in every way. But I also kind of love it.
The stripey pink curtains are a dream come true!!! So often I watch these makeovers and love all the details, of course, but find myself wishing that the curtains had some color or trim or other interest - these are *everything*. Love love love them. Alexandra blew me away with this whole room; she's really figuring out how to fully embrace styles that aren't typical for her, and it is beyond fun to watch her grow as a designer.
I LOVE the ford bronco shirt!!! The scallop wallpaper trim was the perfect finishing touch to round off the Grandma chic vibe - it makes me think of gingerbread houses. I’d imagine it’s a bit challenging to install, but it was totally worth the effort here. Finally, some Dave appreciation. His painting skills are superb and it really adds another level of professionalism to the AG makeover. The blue toned pink paint was really lovely in this makeover.
Don't listen to trolls! Nothing is wrong with your looks. You are being you and sharing what you do which is positive. Trolls are just unhappy bullies who have to hurt others to make themselves feel superior so don't let them!!! Hugs!
Graham is a genius! That fireplace! ❤ I love what y’all did with the walls. The scalloped wall paper is such a cute touch. The colors, rug, furniture, decor, curtains-nailed it! 🩷
You’re gorgeous and I love your personal style and your amazing eye for decorating. Your channel is my happy place. I’ve been DIYing a whole house renovation (turning a restaurant into a home while I live in it) for years and I’ve gotten so much inspiration from you. Thank you!
This room is stunning!! While I am a huge fan of pink, I wondered about painting the whole room and ceiling. But it's gorgeous! Every detail came together beautifully in this room. I would just sit in there all day, getting nothing done. 😍😍
This makeover is amazing with so many things to look at. Young people like the vinage style and older generation want modern. Styles will mix and match thanks to designers like you. Great job Alexander.
I agree. This look was popular in the late 19th century and early 20th century. It was popular again in the early 80’s and has been popular again a few years now. I’m 70 and really like modern decor.-Susan
As a grandma chic millennial, this one really hit for me. Great job! I still wish you’d show more of the going through the different things you guys did with them.
This is so amazing! It's like you've drawn this woman's self-portrait in three dimensions - it's clear she feels like you tapped right into her aesthetic - just magnificent.
Graham is the star of this show. Alexandra often has good ideas but he's the one that executes because he's got the knowledge, expertise, and skills. Oh, and shocker, Alexandra likes the paint colour. It's pink like all her paint colours. If I ignore the colour of the paint, I do get learn some new stuff from Graham each time.
This is one of my favorite make- overs, I love the colors, patterns,and decor. The room looks like it has evolved over time. And that lamp on the fireplace is so pretty. Great job. I love to see Ms. Gater step out of her box to create different styles.
Graham is really invaluable! The things he can Diy are incredible! The best reveal ever!!!!! Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing. Looking forward to the studio transformation.
I don't even like pink, and I LOVED this room! You rocked the granny-chic style. I would love to see more rooms in this style, especially with thrifted finds. I love your channel and have really been inspired and learned lots of tips and tricks 😊
Love that wallpaper border is making a comeback! Another amazing transformation completed! I don’t know how Team AG is always coming up with fresh design ideas that really transform a space.
I've seen quite a few of your videos and always admire what you've done . This time around you've out done yourself in terms of your DIVERSE design style. Not all can be tha t way. You put yourself in the actual the specific style your doing. Just great!
My 6 yo said, "I want to live there. It's so beautiful," in a hushed whisper. She's also super into the pink.
So sweet! And who isn't into pink!?!? 🩷
Aw, this comment made giggle. That's really adorable!😄

the troll needs to keep the focus on their own hair, makeup and clothes. As always, you look marvelllousssss and the makeover again LOOKS AMAZING!!
I suspect we criticize what we are most subconsciously worried about in ourselves.
Lately I been feeling that what trolls say....usually the exact opposite is true. 🙂
I am trying to decide if you took the troll seriously or if you trolled back.

Thank you for sharing your space with us. We subscribers live vicariously through you!
Adorable! A large plant (palm or fig) would look great in that corner next to the bookcase.

All the patterns & colors need a cohesiveness
I like the green tile on the fireplace and think it would look great with medium wood tone and the green and ivory wallpaper. I’m glad they just made a new surround that fits over.
as usual...in awe...YOU AND GRAHAM WITH THE PEEL AND STICK WALLPAPER...i literally don't know HOW YOU ACCOMPLISHED THAT. and the paint job...perfection. Another bravo for team AG.
That Chair is GORGEOUS!
The whole room fits so well together even though there are so many different styles and shapes!
Nice...Granny Chic...who knew... Graham knocked it out of the park with that fireplace surround
Everything about that room is my idea of 70s hell. But I'm still incredibly impressed that you took the contents of someone's mind and made it real. I hate it in every way. But I also kind of love it.
English country doesn't look like this either... I actually like it in other people's homes
I missed seeing team AG these last few weeks. Love watching you bring these rooms together and making the clients so happy. ❤
The stripey pink curtains are a dream come true!!! So often I watch these makeovers and love all the details, of course, but find myself wishing that the curtains had some color or trim or other interest - these are *everything*. Love love love them. Alexandra blew me away with this whole room; she's really figuring out how to fully embrace styles that aren't typical for her, and it is beyond fun to watch her grow as a designer.
I don't blame you for being obsessed with Jawbreaker paint color, it's beautiful!
That thrifted chair is an INCREDIBLE find
OH MY GOSH THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COZY WARM HAPPY FUN ECCLECTIC DREAM. Love it so much!
I LOVE the ford bronco shirt!!!
The scallop wallpaper trim was the perfect finishing touch to round off the Grandma chic vibe - it makes me think of gingerbread houses. I’d imagine it’s a bit challenging to install, but it was totally worth the effort here.
Finally, some Dave appreciation. His painting skills are superb and it really adds another level of professionalism to the AG makeover. The blue toned pink paint was really lovely in this makeover.
Don't listen to trolls! Nothing is wrong with your looks. You are being you and sharing what you do which is positive. Trolls are just unhappy bullies who have to hurt others to make themselves feel superior so don't let them!!! Hugs!
Love everything except the fireplace tile. Everything else is gorgeous!
I love that kind of paint hue that shifts color with the light & time of day. Yours went from pink to lilac to plum. Gorgeous! Great choice!
Incredible! So beautiful!! And she seems to really really love it which is the cherry on top!
Graham is a genius! That fireplace! ❤ I love what y’all did with the walls. The scalloped wall paper is such a cute touch. The colors, rug, furniture, decor, curtains-nailed it! 🩷
I don't know if there are any other teachers here but the trim is giving bulletin board- I can't unsee it.
I can watch Graham work all day long. Crazy amazing the talent.
You’re gorgeous and I love your personal style and your amazing eye for decorating. Your channel is my happy place. I’ve been DIYing a whole house renovation (turning a restaurant into a home while I live in it) for years and I’ve gotten so much inspiration from you. Thank you!
While not my design aesthetic, the room came out fabulously. Great work, as always! Graham is a must keep!
Graham is awesome, such skills!!
In the 80's we called tha trim "Wallpaper border" I love how everything old is new again.
80s chic here and remember this well
This room is stunning!! While I am a huge fan of pink, I wondered about painting the whole room and ceiling. But it's gorgeous! Every detail came together beautifully in this room. I would just sit in there all day, getting nothing done. 😍😍
Whether you like the end result of this space or not, Team A.G. has again met their clients brief.
Well done, Team A.G, for doing this.😊
This looks so cosy! But a checkered fireplace,guess I don’t have enough of the UK gene🫢
This makeover is amazing with so many things to look at. Young people like the vinage style and older generation want modern. Styles will mix and match thanks to designers like you. Great job Alexander.
I agree. This look was popular in the late 19th century and early 20th century. It was popular again in the early 80’s and has been popular again a few years now. I’m 70 and really like modern decor.-Susan
It’s hard for me to like a video of a room with a style i don’t like but if the customer is happy, I’m happy for them!!
As a grandma chic millennial, this one really hit for me. Great job! I still wish you’d show more of the going through the different things you guys did with them.
This is so amazing! It's like you've drawn this woman's self-portrait in three dimensions - it's clear she feels like you tapped right into her aesthetic - just magnificent.
Graham is the star of this show. Alexandra often has good ideas but he's the one that executes because he's got the knowledge, expertise, and skills. Oh, and shocker, Alexandra likes the paint colour. It's pink like all her paint colours. If I ignore the colour of the paint, I do get learn some new stuff from Graham each time.
the client wanted pink?? what else was she supposed to do lmao
If you just want Graham's content maybe ask him if he would bring back his channel? @Handymangraham
Graham has the execution, and I think Alexandra has the vision. The whole team complements each other!
This is one of my favorite make- overs, I love the colors, patterns,and decor. The room looks like it has evolved over time. And that lamp on the fireplace is so pretty. Great job. I love to see Ms. Gater step out of her box to create different styles.
What did you do with the cool painting that was there in the beginning?! I loved that so much!! Great transformation though 👍
I wondered that too. It seemed to have been strategically placed, wanting a piece of the action.
I love how her dress is matching the vibe of this room!!! It’s meant to be ❤
Be yourself. You're adorable and I love all your room makeover
Love your client interviews, Alexandra and the outcomes from their original inspirations.
That Troll is a fool!! I'm always screenshotting your cute clothes and Google searching them to buy!! You're literally my style icon! 😍
There are often links yo her clothing in the video descriptions....might save yourself some google time!!
It's like a Cotswold B&B! Very cozy. The new fireplace surround is genius.
This would be my nightmare. Glad you pleased your customer, that is 100% most important.
Love: fireplace, thrifted chair, gold sofa, wallpaper, TV art, framed print, wall color, mantle lamp. Work fine: coffee table, rug, floor lamp, bookshelves. Would have chosen differently: curtains, pillows, Bambi ceramic. Overall -- a delicious confection, and the client seems thrilled.
You’re the reason I’m still here Graham 😊😂
Graham is really invaluable! The things he can Diy are incredible! The best reveal ever!!!!! Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing. Looking forward to the studio transformation.
Aww I was rly hoping u’d keep the green tiles of the fireplace and put rly intricate moulding on the white part above or smth :(
I honestly still can't get over how that fireplace looks against all the other colors in the room. I adore it. I live for it. I die for it.
I love the coziness of this room. And the colour!!!! ❤
I don't even like pink, and I LOVED this room! You rocked the granny-chic style. I would love to see more rooms in this style, especially with thrifted finds. I love your channel and have really been inspired and learned lots of tips and tricks 😊
You posting always brings me so much joy ❤❤
I truly don’t understand how your channel hasn’t blown up more. I hope you go so far Alexandra! You and your team are truly amazing.
Every room you do just keeps getting better and better!
Love that wallpaper border is making a comeback! Another amazing transformation completed! I don’t know how Team AG is always coming up with fresh design ideas that really transform a space.
What is it that Graham, "CANNOT DO"! He's very talented.
This would be my dream. The gentle coziness of the room looks like the design version of a huge hug from your most favorite person. ❤
You know what? You’ve really grown. Good job. And, loved the cute outfit. Cheers.
I've seen quite a few of your videos and always admire what you've done . This time around you've out done yourself in terms of your DIVERSE design style. Not all can be tha t way. You put yourself in the actual the specific style your doing. Just great!
