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!😄
Time to give her room a mini makeover😊
I love this comment so much
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 !!!!
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.
I’m 46. This is also my childhood bedroom. Dusty rose, burgundy and green. With wallpaper borders. It all comes full circle.
@@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
The trim wallpaper, that’s still being ripped down in 70s houses. 🙃I chuckled, glad it wasn’t a sea ship and lighthouse theme.
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 thought so too!
I know right, I love her vibe. The room suits her so well 😍 💕
💗💗💗
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?" 🥰😁😉
She was so cute!! Her and Alexandra are written in the same font. I feel like they’d be really good friends somehow. ❤
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. ❤
So sweet 🍭💙
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.
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
Ignore them!! They're jealous bullies.
I am blown away by this one. You transported her space to the English countryside. The layering is sublime. Well done team AG!
* Laughs from the English Countryside *
But without the mould and damp.
@@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.
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.
Love Graham’s, “Don’t jinx it.” James’s editing was so perfect for this episode.
Adorable! A large plant (palm or fig) would look great in that corner next to the bookcase.
yep ... a missed opportunity for a plant.. i was thinking a super long touch the floor hanging one...
Yes I agree!!! A banana plant or a hanging string of pearls succulent in a brass planter would be chef’s kiss!
@@moreolivia yes!! on the same page for sure!!!
James is such a good editor wow
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.
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 live in a 130-year-old apartment and I am definitely taking inspiration from this makeover because I absolutely love it!
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.
@@Sarara-mv5sx Good luck!
Graham is so talented. OMG, I love him.
He is truly amazing. Hope he's having as good a time making all these ingenious items as we have watching him make them
💯 We need MORE Graham!
Love him, as well. BUT, I noticed he was wearing a pearl necklace a couple of episodes back....when did that start? LOVE IT!
@@kdbadresinghis there meaning behind wearing the pearls?
Graham should be cloned. The world needs more people like him.
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!
This is not my style. But I love it! It turned out beautiful! Alexandra, you do not need a stylist. You have your own unique style. It's perfect.
Do NOT listen to the trolls!! I think your style rocks (including hair and makeup) not to mention your design genius!!! Love this makeover as always ❤
You and the team absolutely deserve 1M followers ❤
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!
I missed seeing team AG these last few weeks. Love watching you bring these rooms together and making the clients so happy. ❤
Okay that fringe looks so good and like custom made, never would have thought of doing that
Same. I'm eyeballing my sofa now, though. Thinking some fringe would look fabulous! 🛋👀🤨
@@linjaysha Looks great but I doubt it would last in any cat-inhabited home
@@TamarLitvot Good point! My cat would be soooo happy! 😄😻
Bullion fringe
Looks gorgeous but cats will destroy!!! heehee just a consideration.
Whenever I’m having a bad day I just think of Graham’s pearls and instantly life is good again.
Puka shells. It's very 70/80s vibe. Trust me, I was there. 🌼
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!
ever thought of making over a small space for a senior person?
GREAT IDEA!!!
How wonderful!!!
Brb painting every room (and ceilings) in my house jawbreaker pink 👀
No but same 🤭
@@AlexandraGater I am painting my kitchen cabinets sulking room pink today though.. trying to keep up! 😅
@@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.
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!
You did a great job. 👍🏼
I saw you!
That Chair is GORGEOUS!
The whole room fits so well together even though there are so many different styles and shapes!
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.
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.
I wish you were in Europe ❤
I just love how you listen to your clients, put it all together with high function, and end up with beautiful, livable spaces! Bravo!
I am always amazed at Graham’s crazy talent and skill. Like… WOW. I love every single one of his creations!!!!!
This room has to be my most favorite one you've done to date! The fringe on the couch and that rug!!! Stunning beautiful absolutely gorgeous!
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 ❤
100 percent agree
@@SekolahRimbaMalaysia Adding another 100% agreement to yours!
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!
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.
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.
Loving the secret entomology lesson amid the decorating process 😁
I miss seeing James -- wish he would make some long-distance cameo appearances.
That thrifted chair is an INCREDIBLE find
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.😊
Saturday morning routine! Got my coffee, ready to watch this makeover!😍
Nice...Granny Chic...who knew... Graham knocked it out of the park with that fireplace surround
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).
I looovvveee everything but I would love her own painting of the old man hung instead of the etsy print. 💐 Great job with this makeover 💓
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! ❤❤
LOL I’m 18 and when I tell you I am so jealous of this room it is such a dream I am obsessed 😭 gonna go watch nick Lewis’ video now.
All the patterns & colors need a cohesiveness
OH MY GOSH THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COZY WARM HAPPY FUN ECCLECTIC DREAM. Love it so much!
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!! 💖
Thank you for sharing your space with us. We subscribers live vicariously through you!
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!
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
I don't blame you for being obsessed with Jawbreaker paint color, it's beautiful!
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
Rarely have I ever wanted to steal every single thing from a room but this one takes the cake. I want allll of it! So so perfect
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! 🩷
While not my design aesthetic, the room came out fabulously. Great work, as always! Graham is a must keep!
I can watch Graham work all day long. Crazy amazing the talent.
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
the Dragonfly Inn ♥ what a wholesome reference
As a devoted Gilmore Girl fan (I even enjoyed watching that show for years with my beloved late Mother), that reference made my heart sing.
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 just really wish you didnt get better help as a sponsor. I know that you must pay the Bills, but you influence people and this service has so many complaints including breach of privacy.
Thanks for the warning. Also i dont get the concept of online psychology because if someone really needs help for real then they need to see a live person. and if it is something not that serious you might as well check free youtube testimonials and talk to a friend or neighbor. But i never checked so i wouldnt know except that many years ago i did a minor in psychology at university and they said online psychology doesnt work for many reasons.
@@addhoc256 that isn't true. I live in NYC and the commute from work, school to home for many is time-consuming and grueling, also many do still work from home now. Where I live I'd have to travel 40 mins to get to the therapist of my choice, so I really appreciate online therapy.
Also my partner was able to work from home all through his chemotherapy. By helping others it kept his spirits up as he focused out and was still able to be a productive member of society and still help his 22 clients per week, so I guess I've experienced another side of online therapy and understand why it's so popular now. I don't use Better Help but on a whole I'm not against it at all.
agree! so disappointed every time
Everyone always says the same thing w/ better help sponsorship. Thanks guys. If it seems to good to be true...
@@addhoc256there's still telehealth going on -- with live professionals -- outside of BH. ofc more serious cases & psychiatric help require f2f contact, but talk therapy can still be delivered online (for now)
Honestly... I don't know anyone more creative than you and your whole team! Plus, the team is such a part of each video that I can't imagine any of it without them. Which is obvious, but in many productions you never see them. Anyway, Team AG is GENIUS!
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
This looks so cosy! But a checkered fireplace,guess I don’t have enough of the UK gene🫢
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. ❤
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.
Alexandra, please post more often. The world needs you. Do you see how miserable it is on instgram right now?
RIGHT???!!!!
How does she not have a million followers?!
What’s going on on Instagram?!
@@rosey_ie You're not alone! I'm in the dark about insta, too (maybe that's a good thing for us??) 😅
You posting always brings me so much joy ❤❤
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.
I'm LIVING for that grandma chair in the corner. Perfect example of furniture I'd marry if I could
Every room you do just keeps getting better and better!
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!
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.
Yep, thats it. My favorite transformation EVER! 😭 this was absolutely stunning, flawless and just perfect! Amazing job AG team!!!
Be yourself. You're adorable and I love all your room makeover
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!!
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. 😍😍
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!
Have you heard about the issues with Better help? Maybe you should check them out before partnering with them in the future...don't lose your morals just for a little bit of money... I love the makeover though...
I heard BetterHelp is using customers’ private info in ads and has related legal issues. Not good.
We've all been posting about it, she doesn't care.
It's not great, but what good resource is there for accesible mental healthcare? Many insurances just don't offer much, especially in the US.
What is it that Graham, "CANNOT DO"! He's very talented.
I love how her dress is matching the vibe of this room!!! It’s meant to be ❤
It's like a Cotswold B&B! Very cozy. The new fireplace surround is genius.
I love the coziness of this room. And the colour!!!! ❤
This would be my nightmare. Glad you pleased your customer, that is 100% most important.
I think the Jays need you guys in their lineup, the way every week you keep knocking these projects out of the park! Wow, beautiful, warm, feminine but still modern. It's warm and homey and beautifully put together. Blue tile and blue door speak to each other, wood trim warms up tile, wood trim speaks to wicker lamp shade. Graphic tiger rug ties it all together. love love love this
oh, and the wavy mirror becomes a framed 'art piece' reflecting that wonderful fireplace wall!
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!
the reveal had me gasping
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 :(
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.
You and your team have come so far in recent years with how much you are able to do with any given space. This is fantastic decorating skill...bravo!!
I LOVE this category of “grand ma style/chic”!! “WE” NEED YOU, Alexandra…! (🇺🇸!!). 👍🏻👍🏻‼️
This is my first ever comment I love you and your team!! You bring me such happiness 😊 love from Michigan
Hi 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
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.
This is honestly one of the best makeovers you've done lately, love the vintage vibes!
Troll's are apparently so insecure about themselves, shame on you! Your jealousy is tragic! Alexandra is confident yet humble her qualities are appreciated and her Design is always Beautiful ! She makes us all Happy! I feel like crying this makover is my Favorite!
You’re the reason I’m still here Graham 😊😂
This is my favorite room of yours to date! While not how I would decorate my home, I love the color story - the mustard yellow against the pink. The mix of old and new. That chair! And while the scalloped border is one of the cutest details in the room, that fireplace is a showstopper. Way to go, Graham, for bringing the design to life.
On another note, love the team's chemistry. The fun you have together and the video editing have made this stressful day much lighter.
Love from Houston ❤
That wallpaper! My heart just sings & I want it somewhere I can see every day!
You look amazing!!! Don’t listen to the trolls!! Also thank you to team AG for hyping my girl up 🙏♥️♥️
What grandmother has all these patterns & colors, pink walls, & pink striped curtains?
Mine did, although not necessarily all at the same time. She was born in England in the 1930s. Lots of florals, patterns, and rich colors. Stuff that takes half a century to collect.
Alexandra,
This room make over is beautiful! In the 1980s my favorite color was Dusty Rose so that tells you my age and this beautiful paint color is the new dusty rose for our current era. For the last 30 years I am into Jefferson Blue and Patriotic by Ralph Lauren but, it may be because I live in VA and history is at my door step. About 5 years ago my nephew who works and lives in NYC (graphic designer) has me interested in turquoise for clothes and jewelry but as for decor, drapes, etc I love the darker tones of blue and I love sage green. I have an Amish oak fire place on wheels but if I am in my own condo (goal by this Fall) I would love to beef up the fire box surround with a beautiful tile and a higher mantle top. Since I was a child at my grandmother's 1800 built house I have always loved bookshelves on each side of the mantle and my Dad lives in a 1929 built bungalow and they have bookcases on each side too. Right now I am currently renting a 1940 flat that is 610 square foot and even though I am hoping not to live here for a long time I really want to make it look nice. Since I moved in I haven't invited anyone over but my new goal is for a surprise party for my Dad for his bday June 15th. I have so much to do as I am still full of boxes and my storage unit is packed. I may go and by some nice fabric and nice wood and stain the boards as make shift shelves on top of all my packed boxes. I am greatly overwhelmed and the organizing companies will only come if I had a 2 bedroom. Working 11 hour days at my job leaves me pooped by the time I drive home which is a 45 min job. Every video of yours is wonderful and you ALWAYS give me inspiration.
On another note, I wonder if these trolls have a TH-cam channel close to a mill subscribers and a wonderful published book? I bet not! I think if you wore a flour sack dress and ribbons in your hair made out of toilet paper you would still be beautiful. I loved Instagram when I first set up my account. It was a wonderful outlet for me as I have always been a loner. I have never had a nice female friend to hang out with. My Mom passed away from cancer in 2021 she was my flee market, yard sale, coffee cafe , church buddie. The last 4 months I have so many negative people giving me their 2 cents on Instagram. I am not rich but I am a saver, I am not a bragger. I still wear Kasper suits from college days to my job and church. My favorite store is Home Depot to raid the free wood pile and I love hardware stores. I have been beading since I was 9 sewing since I was 5. I like to fix my own cars if it's something I am able to do. I made a cool necklace a couple years ago out of engine oil seals because they are copper. I am interested in things others are not. We live in a free land thank God. I wanted to tell one troll one day that when they point a finger at someone, they have 3 coming back at them. For now I have left Instagram. I guess I have let the trolls win. I will just enjoy TH-cam channels such as your's and craft videos and get going on my little place. Have a wonderful evening,
Rebekah
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.
