I was touched , this woman is so overwhelmed with the kids and work, but she was able to donate for a hospital ! A good example for all of us : to be sensitive to other people needs even when our life seems complicated ! Beautiful designs, I hope the best for Farah and Alexandra of course ! :)
@2:30 This is what I love about your channel - how you gently introduce a new product or viewer's product/service as a recommendation. Social networking at its finest. Kudos to the Mom who has the guts to run her own business.
Alexandra! I did not think you could even equal Option A but you crushed it and I believe you TOPPED it. I think I would have had to choose a couple of items from each design and come up with a mish mash!!! I loved both options. Farah has such a generous and sweet heart and you nailed the design for her! I hope we get to see her finished room! Did you tell her about the barn doors? Maybe I missed that. NICE JOB!! You get an A+, woman!!!!
I would love to see that! I am preparing to teach online in the fall and am gathering ideas to turn my guest room into a space where I can video conference with my students and work on grading papers and organize all of my materials. We won't be having guests anytime soon, but I still want to keep the guest bed, so I am trying to design around that. I also don't want to spend much money because my school isn't going to contribute at all. At the same time, I want the aesthetics to be worthy of video in order to keep my students' attention. And I teach French to college students who are mostly from NYC, so you can imagine how important this is! I love that dotted wallpaper in this video, I might try it in my space!
Great idea! I'm always trying to apply these ideas to my classroom without much success. I'm very limited for choices (cement brick walls that can't be painted or have holes) and I would have to pay for everything, which of course, is typical and nearly impossible for teachers' salaries.
you know what's so amazing about this channel beyond the incredible design, is the fact that you introduce us to these small business we would probably never hear of, thank you for that.
Geez love you don’t make it easy!! I loved option A but B was incredible too! You did such a nice job for a mama who could really use a break! And lucky to have TH-camrs like yourself who can recognize that your environment can GREATLY affect your life. Awesome job! You should do a recap when it’s all kind of done you know?
Seems to me Farah has chosen to customize it even further by taking some from A and B. She loves the customizable cabinet, accent wall, and faux plant from option A, but also loved the under window storage and larger desk and light fixture of option B. Not sure which rug she preferred and if she liked the ladder option for holding the printer and fax. A cabinet the same height as the table, placed at a right angle to the desk could give her a place for orders and paper clutter and a place for the office machines to sit on top of, with the bonus to have more space to spread out her assembly line. Neither design gives her paper organization and that surprised me.
@@makemyspacework Functionally I love the PAX system, but wrapping the blue around to the window wall adds visual balance and an additional work surface. Nice work!
Option A! I love this series. Alexandra, can you post a link to the semi-circular cord covers that you like? The ones I found online have bad reviews or are square-ish.
I liked A too. I like B also, but A seemed maybe a better fit for her. I had those wardrobes (3) in an apartment I was living in that we renovated, and I LOVED them. Everything tucked away perfectly on shelves, in baskets, and no one saw anything when they came over. Great inspiration girl !!! Much love ♥️
Wao when she said A I was like whaaaat?? Lol to me option B was a no brainer like more glam and styled but I guess that's what's intersting about life everyone likes different things.
I loved both designs! I think the only thing that I'd be wondering about, is how functional the printer situations are when you're doing a bunch of packaging at once (this is just based on how I've seen a couple other eshops vlog their packaging stuff), but I do like the idea of the ladder shelf for it. Need to keep that in mind. ALSO THANK YOU FOR THE FAUX PLANTS. My cat likes to get into ANY plants I love (also some are not kitty friendly), so finding faux that meets my standards has been... challenging. Really looking forward to seeing the final version!!!
Hi......love your series! Watch you daily between old videos and new videos and watching them 2 or 3 times. 😂. Before I go I have to ask you .... is Lottie a Ragdoll kitty?? I have had 2 Ragdolls and 💕 LOVE the breed!!
Hi Alexandra, I have been watching your videos for a long time and I love what you do. I wonder if you can help me even though I live overseas. My husband and I bought a very old house and have been rebuilding/renovating it for the last couple of years. It is coming to a point now that I think we can start styling parts of the house and I am 'stuck' on how to style our foyer. Can you help? :)
I love things in both A & B! Do you think that cool black light fixture would work in a dining room or kitchen? I have to have it! Thanks Alexandra 🙌❤️
Going into it, I thought I was going to like option A better, but I really like option B... and I was sure that's what she was going to pick appear in!
gah this is gorgeous! Alexandra, I am beyond grateful to have found you. Thank the quarantine for that. I have incorporated so many of your ideas on a small scale. To that end, I have a question that I posted to your IG DM but maybe I'll try it here too and perhaps you or someone else can help. I live in Brooklyn, NYC and like everyone here on lock down/in quarantine. I have a massive living room (said no one ever in NYC!), but I do! 22 feet by 14 feet. It's lovely, arched door way. Old school rent stabilized apt. beautiful original hardwood, etc. Right now it is divided with a book shelf and some file cabinets to make a living room and an office where me, the spouse, and my 6 year old do work. (WFH and remote learning). Having the room separated the way we have it is not my fave and I'm thinking of doing an L shape desk of some sort to make the separation less cluttered and more sleek and part of the overall design vibe of my LR which is mid century modern, lots of wood and a big brown couch and I'm NOT afraid of color or texture and I would like to incorporate more of that into my space. My vibe is colorful, vibrant and meaningful touches in a room that is neutral/wood overall. I'm OBSESSED with the idea of a gallery wall with different kinds of arts and prints and an accent wall with a warm pop of color (think coral, warm pinks, terra cotta, bolder even. Question is (I have so many questions!), should the gallery wall that I have in my mind also be the accent wall that I have in my mind? My apt. hasn't been painted in more than a decade and we rent so we're definitely entitled by law to a paint job. I'm willing to invest in high quality paint; I have a mood board already but nervous about the actual execution. I'm a bit crafty but large scale remodel projects make me nervous. (BUT I AM Willing!). anyway I have a lot of inspiration but I need design help and direction. To sum up, should the gallery wall be the accent wall and how to separate LR from office in the same large room? Much love from NYC! We haven't left the house in months!
I loved this make over so much 💖 I liked both the options and I M IN LOVE WITH YOUR SKILLS THAT HOW YOU MANAGED TO DO THIS VIRTUALLY ♥️♥️♥️ I m now rooting for how this space will look in reality now😊😊 IN LOVEE WITH YOU ALEXANDRA😍😍
i loved both ideas. however, pax design is not great. pro tip is to ALWAYS start your design in planner by adding door to the unit to see location of hinges and avoid solutions impossible to assembly. you cannot have drawers at the very bottom (with hinged doors), only baskets. why? drawer wouldn’t fit because of the hinge. moreover - ikea doesn’t offer door in 75x229, the closet either has to consist of 4 50x229 units or have 2 breaks with 25x229 doors that do not match door of your choice (flisberget). please, give people more realistic options. i know you wanted to perfect the look in the visualisation but it will be disappointing later 🙁
Alexandra me and my sister love your video's , we might be your youngest audience. I was wondering if you would like to come on my blog ? we are 10 and 9
Super cool ideas but definitely not budget friendly. Looked up some of the pieces mentioned, easily $600 to $800 for 1 piece is a lot for a home office. I'd love more ideas like this but more budget friendly.
Option A was my favourite but B was also super nice! I'm surprised she chose A. You always so such an amazing job! :) and whoever does those illustrations - wooow, so nice!
She said she liked modern and Alenxandra was like "rustic feel, farmhouse, farmhouse, rustic". I don't get it. Because of the barn doors? You can get modern "barn doors", they don't have to look like they came from a real barn.
I appreciate you trying to put out content but I feel like these videos are more useful for the person who is getting the makeover. The process is great and we love to see it but really, it's all about the final result. It would be helpful if you could release these videos with some final result shots or even release a video later with several finished rooms. The instagram follow ups arent for everyone, including myself..
Yay!! My favorite series, you've helped me plan out my place too!! I even started a channel to track my progress :) Please check it out if you get the chance and let me know what you think!! Peace & love

Wish we were able to see the finished project
me too
I just wish we could see the final results
Same here.
Exactly
Yes!! I was so disappointed 😶
Exactly...that's the best part!
Yeah so we don’t get to see the result!? I’m so disappointed
Would be nice to see end product!

Great designs disappointing there was no reveal. Maybe later when she finishes it.

💖💖💖💖💖 wish we could get to see the complete makeover 👍👍
Idea: Helping redo teacher spaces: lounges, desks, etc.

I loved option A until I saw the sketch of option B. This one was tough.
@@makemyspacework Functionally I love the PAX system, but wrapping the blue around to the window wall adds visual balance and an additional work surface. Nice work!
Love your designs, but don't we get to see the finished product?
They haven't down them yet so we can't see them yet. We will get to see once they are done. This is just the design process.
I liked Option B better ... but I am not really convinced that there is enough storage in both of the versions you designed.
I think the PAX system the entire length of the back wall would be enough but not with the way it is in the mock ups.
Alexandra- i have been obsessed with finding a fake olive tree! Thanks for the nod to finding it!!
This is so frustrating I want to see what she does with this amazing ideas 😱😍!!!
We need a follow up video 🙌🤩 I loved the pax wardrobe from A, and the desk & shelves and overhead light from B. 🥳 Great Designs!!!! 🧡
I had NO IDEA there was a 'Pretty Pegs' for Ikea furniture, this is awesome
I love plan B really classic looking and a lot of storage
Love option B!
Option B was definitely my favorite I love the simplicity of it and how clean it looks. ❤
I liked both options but B was my favorite.
Option B - it was hard to choose but the pendant light tipped me to B 👍
Option A! I love this series. Alexandra, can you post a link to the semi-circular cord covers that you like? The ones I found online have bad reviews or are square-ish.
A but with the bigger desk. I really need to see the final result! 😆
Both options were lovely. I think I would have chosen option B.
i love that you were able to find a way to continue to make a very up close and personal to still function during a pandemic!
I love both options! I'm leaning more towards option B but I can see why she chose Option A. Fabulous suggestions!
I liked A too. I like B also, but A seemed maybe a better fit for her. I had those wardrobes (3) in an apartment I was living in that we renovated, and I LOVED them. Everything tucked away perfectly on shelves, in baskets, and no one saw anything when they came over. Great inspiration girl !!! Much love ♥️
I love option B if I had to choose it would be that one but option A was also beautiful!!
Wao when she said A I was like whaaaat?? Lol to me option B was a no brainer like more glam and styled but I guess that's what's intersting about life everyone likes different things.
OPTION B

I think the only thing that I'd be wondering about, is how functional the printer situations are when you're doing a bunch of packaging at once (this is just based on how I've seen a couple other eshops vlog their packaging stuff), but I do like the idea of the ladder shelf for it.

Really looking forward to seeing the final version!!!
those IKEA wardrobes are just so dang useful!
I would have mixed the two.
I love option B - cupboards are beautiful and like the chair and rug - so obsessed with your makeover series, wish you were in Australia
B. Loved the art piece of girl with scrunchie!
I agree with options A, but I'd add the scrunchy girl line drawing somewhere in there! It's too perfect.
Most definitely, option A. Although, I love those knobs in B.
I liked both options, but the wallpaper does add a nice vocal point. Enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Ahh I am way to impatient for these COVID virtual makeovers 😂😂 waiting (im)patiently to see how it all comes together ☺️ both options were gorgeous!
Option A! Loved the clean lines and the back wall making a focal point.
A+ for you. Great job!
Hi......love your series! Watch you daily between old videos and new videos and watching them 2 or 3 times. 😂. Before I go I have to ask you .... is Lottie a Ragdoll kitty?? I have had 2 Ragdolls and 💕 LOVE the breed!!
I love this series. Please link to the reveal video. :)
Nice makeover

The best youtuber eveeer ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I loved this make over so much 💖
I liked both the options and I M IN LOVE WITH YOUR SKILLS THAT HOW YOU MANAGED TO DO THIS VIRTUALLY ♥️♥️♥️ I m now rooting for how this space will look in reality now😊😊 IN LOVEE WITH YOU ALEXANDRA😍😍
Both looked really good, I would have also chosen option A!
I actually preferred option A as well but the extra storage was something important for option B.
Sara Nena DIY
Oh, I like your look in this video a lot!
Can’t wait for the reveal!
yay!! I was rooting for Option A too :)
Both were awesome! Your so good! Will you ever show if these virtual makeovers are done?
Oh this was awesome to watch!! Woohoo Farah this will look amazing!!!
What software or app did you use to create 3D sketch versions of both the options? Such a wonderful way to help visualize the space.
I was disappointed that we couldn't see the end result. Both options were great, but I also liked option A..
Alexandra, I have heard that IKEA laminate furniture is really hard to paint because of the material. What type of paint do you suggest to use?
I think I would have chosen option A also....B was a close call though....well done
Will we get to see her finished design?
Hey, what happened to the final results? The last episode I watched (the photographer's attic office) showed him putting it all together!
i loved both ideas. however, pax design is not great. pro tip is to ALWAYS start your design in planner by adding door to the unit to see location of hinges and avoid solutions impossible to assembly. you cannot have drawers at the very bottom (with hinged doors), only baskets. why? drawer wouldn’t fit because of the hinge. moreover - ikea doesn’t offer door in 75x229, the closet either has to consist of 4 50x229 units or have 2 breaks with 25x229 doors that do not match door of your choice (flisberget). please, give people more realistic options. i know you wanted to perfect the look in the visualisation but it will be disappointing later 🙁
the biggest cliffhanger of my week. We demand the result! XD
B 💙
I'm building a tiny home and in it I have a 4 foot by 5 foot office/TH-cam studio space available. Wanna help me?
What do you use to e-paint the two options?
What design app do you use to create plans
Hi Alexandra! What software do you use for the virtual design? Its sooo cute. :)
Alexandra me and my sister love your video's , we might be your youngest audience. I was wondering if you would like to come on my blog ? we are 10 and 9
Wait, no finished product?? 😕
Super cool ideas but definitely not budget friendly. Looked up some of the pieces mentioned, easily $600 to $800 for 1 piece is a lot for a home office. I'd love more ideas like this but more budget friendly.
How do you get selected for this type of makeover?
Hi how do you make these sketches, any particular software??? Do le me know. Above all I really liked both the options, just loced it.❤️
I want to see the look she implements! Can you post updates from these?
Option A was my favourite but B was also super nice! I'm surprised she chose A. You always so such an amazing job! :) and whoever does those illustrations - wooow, so nice!
Products that are only available in the US :(
B
Stupid ? Is Lotty a ragdoll? Love her!
Aww will we get a reveal !?
Asomething I have difficulty is with dressing my walls
If you have ideas or videos would really appreciate it😉
❤️ your worrk
Nice idea but Where is the final result? Kind of disappointing: /
What happened to your Ikea video you just posted ??
Both looked amazing, such a tough choice. Well done Alexandra! 😁
But do we ever get to see the room?
Where is the cute line art print from?

She said she liked modern and Alenxandra was like "rustic feel, farmhouse, farmhouse, rustic". I don't get it. Because of the barn doors? You can get modern "barn doors", they don't have to look like they came from a real barn.
I thought she would pick option B so was surprised when she chose A. I hope we get to see the 'After' 🤗
Love both options! 💙 great job!! Btw what software do you use to make the room illustrations (at the end)?
Both options had so many good parts, so difficult one, wish there was a reveal.
There is a book entitled "I don't Know How She Does It" by Allison pearson❤❤like👍if u've read it b4

Wrong choice!!!
Way overhyped. I don't perceive any miracle with this product.
