My days were filled with caring for sick and anxious patients and your channel was one bright spot in my otherwise depressing and stressful life. When I hear the music starting and ending your videos it makes me happy. I love to watch the makeovers, but just hearing your music makes my day brighter.

Absolutely beautiful!!!!

[@feliciamoore7808]

I absolutely love the makeover, as always! I was a little disappointed that more of the aqua/turquoise from the client's inspo wasn't used. I know Alexandra loves pink, and the client was obviously happy, but those blues were beautiful. I would have loved to see more of that color, and not so much pink, even in future makeovers.

[@melbabowen4389]

[@alidabotes6264]

Not a fan.

[@perileonie506]

The inspiration pictures were so pretty! I feel like the olive green and mustard were more 70s vibes than the pastel aesthetic the client liked 😔

[@MsJoli22]

I agree, I dont think she really followed the inspiration and wishes of the client in this makeover when it came to the color scheme. The inspiration pictures were so nice and felt more fresh and "happy" instead of these more earthy colors (total 70's vibe). The shape of the furniture and details were on point, just the colors that where a bit off.

[@marilyn6905]

Lovely! Only 2 suggestions from my personal wish-list...a more substantial bedside table with some sort of easily accessible bedside light. And though quirky, eye-catching overhead lighting is a PLUS... the exposed BARE BULB beneath it is NOT.

[@michaelbeck4236]

Holy pastels! 🤯 y’all did an outstanding job with every single element of this makeover. The colors! The furniture selection! The lighting! The wallpaper! It all blends together so beautifully and seamlessly. Y’all breathed a fresh breath of life into this studio apartment. Lovely job!

[@loliada]

AG Team challenge? 😮! Make over a SENIOR INDEPENDENT LIVING apartment. To help seniors to transition into a new Lifestyle of Retirement. Please Give us Hope DESIGN Idea choices to personalize our units;...be kind, and sensitive to our limited mobility issues. (Get us out of the 70/ 80's decor). Love to see what your team can do. AGT, my Granddaughter, shared you You Tube programs with me. I will soon, move into a unit, what renter friendly idea choice I can use, To reflect my style...an updated look. There is 80's wallpaper all over the building; It's a mid century 1-bed unit with valued ceilings, 1 closet (? Wow talking about downsizing 😮). Would need storage solutions. For example: for tiny dining area, with storage. Creative entryway/ shoe storage etc. HELP US SENIORS We like stylish things too.

[@Gemma_Frow]

This is a great idea! Even if she did the common area/activity room.

[@dobbiejoyner8110]

I’m a retired teacher and downsizing to a multi family home with my son. 2 bedrooms, open living room/dining room and kitchenette. I would love some senior downsizing tips . It’s overwhelming just the downsizing part. Thank you

[@funnygirlinstumptown]

I think her studio looks really great. Although there is very little green from her original inspo boards which I thought were very botantical. She has all that amazing light and could have had so many more plants. I love everything you do and hate saying anything negative but feel that we could have replaced the mustard colors with greens. The furniture is perfect. You are so talented.

[@peggyoneil2123]

I came here to say the same thing, I know Alexandra's color is pink but I think she let that over run this design more when it should have based on the inspo. Edit: it seems I missed that the client said her favorite colors were pink and purple but I still dont think that means Alexandra should have ignored the inspo so much. Just because someones favorite color is pink doesnt mean they want to live in it.

[@lilygoht]

The one thing I wish y'all would do is play more with the tech aesthetics like custom keyboards, painted monitors, mouses and desk mats. This was one of my favorite makeovers you've ever done!! 🩷🩷🩷

[@rtd1791]

Good idea.

[@elijahh2220]

To be fair, _good quality_ keyboards, monitors, and mouses are pretty expensive, especially if you're just changing them out for aesthetics. Though, of course, there are simpler swaps like keycaps available (and I think they make decals/stickers for non-mechanical keyboards,) and desk mats/mousepads are definitely a reasonable idea.

[@patriciaharing2500]

I can’t get over the creativity that goes into every home. You make me feel like I can live in a studio as long as you decorate for me .

[@beeARTcanada]

Your makeovers are always so HAPPY, pretty, and cohesive-looking. You definitely have a unique style. It has been great watching you evolve into an amazing designer Alexandra. Your channel is fun!

[@frejamohan]

Wish you put in the bed with storage she seems like she needs it. And personally I really hate that wall with "tile" wallpaper and swivel but can't say anything against the fact that it's made really well, great work. And as long as she likes it it's all that matters.

[@alidabotes6264]

I agree.

[@heidibee501]

I LOVE WATCHING THE PROCESS. From the beginning where we see the potential and the home owner's/renter's needs and decor sensibility, to the plan and Graham's technical skills as well as Alexandra's design inspiration. For me the most fun is at the end where she pulls all these amazing finishing touches out of a hat. That's when the real transformational magic reveals itself.

[@aryanegouvea]

it is kind of scary the diference between the inspo and the final. the inspo is much more adult, and realistic/literal with the flowers on the paperwall. dont get me wrong, looks beautiful and fun, i would love this place, but it is sooo far along the inspo, the color palet, the style and all

[@pauletteleroy]

Totally agree!

[@PeacockEarings]

As a Teal lover I had such hope after those inspo pics but it ended up mustard and pink and I am le confused why you deviated from her inspo colours? Could you explain your colour choice decisions?

[@barkinatthemoon]

Too much pink, the greens in her inspo are so pretty and turquoise. Alexandra is marvelously creative just not my style.

[@Meghancita512]

she did say that pinks and purples were her favorite colors so i think that was why

[@NehaMhnt]

If this was my home, I'd never go out. So cozy, so much of pretty pastel colors. Wow just wow. One of your best works Alexandra. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@itscarolinemary]

Wow, this makeover is stunning. The furniture is perfection, love all the pastel tones!!! 🔥😭 I wish this was my space

[@craigo2142]

Great redo. Very feminine. It would be nice to see a few more for men. It would be interesting to see what it costs to do a make-over. And, to see an undo of things when a tenant moves out and see exactly how much work is involved. I love your studio makeovers.

[@Anne3000]

When the video started, I thought, “She should get bangs, it would really suit her” (Although in Australia we call it a fringe). Definitely yes! Even with the filter you needed to use, it’s a super cute look for you!

This is one of my favorites. I am always amazed that you do a studio with a few items that just *poof* magic, make it into multiple separate spaces, without walls. I would never have thought that walls could do so many jobs for the studios depending on how you decorate them! Beautiful job!

[@fanoftoast]

This might be my fav sofa you’ve ever done. Works for small spaces, looks so comfy and she can add on to it later if she wants it to be bigger. Not a pink person but I also love the color of it!

[@sharonjones7929]

I love your ability to design a space that suits the client. You don't just push your own design preferences but instead listen to what each person wants, gorgeous !

[@barboragimesova4587]

I disagree, her whole aestehic is boho/mid century and it’s lot girly, and it shows in every design. I like the desings, but the “clients” show her different interior style and it always ends with boho elements (even tho little muted). I watched some episode, where the style of client was more minimalist and japandi style and the reno ended muted more white boho, even tho it’s still beautiful I would like to see completely different style

[@MsEgwene]

​@@barboragimesova4587Yeah, I agree with you. If you look at the inspo, I see very little of it in the end result. Don't get me wrong, I love Alexandra and her style! I just don't think she caters to the preferences of the person she does a makeover for that much. To take this specific one as an example, there's no soft green or eggshell blue millwork. She said she loves walls to have color yet Alexandra chose white, as she often does. The style still suits the person she did it for, but I think that's more because they likely responded to a "who wants a pastel scandi small apartment makeover?". Of course people are happy when they want an AG makeover and they get an AG makeover! And rightfully so!

[@heidifritz3053]

This is a gorgeous makeover! I noticed that the color and texture of the headboard reads a bit like sofa upholstery, so it’s less like a bed and more like living room decor. You do so much with a small space.

[@monaferrell9403]

You obviously love mustard yellow. Do your clients, who ask for blue, pink, and green, love it? I would cry if you put that wallpaper in my space.

[@amykatherinespencer]

She has a whole consultation with them, of course she asks that kind of stuff

[@ashasarca]

@@amykatherinespencer she asked what colours she liked and when the answer was "I love dark colours like blue and green" her response was "so bright and airy" and gave her pastel pink and mustard yellow...

What a lovely room! I can just imagine how pleasant it will be for Melissa to work at that desk, relax on her gorgeous couch, etc etc. I love how you delineated the zones using the wallpaper and rugs. Brilliant! Also, it’s neat how the entry light, ottoman and planters are so similarly designed. Thank you for sharing your upcoming schedule in this video; I’m one of the few(?) who is not on Instagram. The November series sounds wonderful!

[@cindi7955]

You made this small studio grow huge! I am trying to figure my little living room out and this just blew my mind!! The colours are so bright and happy and the curvy trim was amazing. You and Graham go to such lengths to do such special and unique pieces for your clients. No short cuts. You turned a cramped and very busy small studio into a sweet and very functional home. Your smile is contagious and your giggle!! You and your team are a joy to watch.

You made the most of visual as well as functional and soul .....just over joyful play of sunshine and positivity all mixed into one cohesive cocoon .

[@kathykov1]

You have come a long way. 💜 I love everything but...that bedside shelf. It's way too small. I would have put a bedside table on the other side of the bed. This way, it would be easier to make the bed. Or even a larger shelf that you wouldn't have to reach around the headboard to set something on it. With all that said, BRAVO on creating a beautiful space.

[@ThatOneLadyOverHere]

It's so funny how much you love white compared to how much I hate it. All of the rentals here just have white walls, so your bright white is my renter's beige. I have been renting since I graduated over a decade ago and finally landed ina rental that the last tenants painted without the landlord's consent and I am so happy! The beige is so much warmer than the white! It just feels so much more like a home! It is not the color the landlord wants it to be, but he's not gonna bother painting it till we move out, I haven't told him my feelings, but obviously I am totally fine with that.

Hello team AG, I'm speechless! In my personal opinion, this is the best transformation yet. The symbiosis of colors and textures and the unique style are beautiful. I have been living with a severe depressive phase for about 3 years and I am in a state of change. I'm working less, doing sports again and planning to completely renovate my dreary and messy apartment. The kitchen will be delivered in February and that will be the start of a new phase in my life and creating my “safe space”. Your videos inspire me in ways that are difficult for me to put into words. I find the courage to use color and think outside the box.

I am 74 and I never dreamed in 1 million years that I would like to watch this, but I do. In this particular video I think it would be exciting to tell her that she has a TV and about the picture that covers her electrical box just to see what she has to say. Love your show young lady.

How beautiful! Love the darker linen curtains,

[@lauraquigley6403]

Beautiful job as always! I cannot believe more people aren’t subscribed either! You & your team are amazing Alexandra! So glad Graham framed the tv it really added so much!🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

Wow that turned out beautifully. I wasn’t sure about that wallpaper dividing the living room but it turned out really cool. OK all this inspiration , i’m going to finish decorating my 800 square-foot apartment. You’ve given me some great ideas. sometimes I watch these episodes 2 to 3 times, yay!!

[@rtd1791]

Loved the squiggly frame around the wallpaper. Alexandra made the whole space livelier. Such a good feeling. 😊

[@hikersteph]

I just love the variety of different design styles you play with Alexandra! This one is probably the closest to my own style - I just love the bright + cleanness of Scandi style but I always add pops of color to make it feel more happy and less neutral. I also love getting to sit in on the entire process, from consultation to DIYs to reveal! I feel like I'm always learning something that I could apply to my own space. Keep it up!

This is stunning, oh my god ! So many patterns and textures but very calming in the same time ! Well done ! And the wall squigel is 👌👌

[@lindarosenthal6835]

I love how spacious it looks while meeting all her needs. Beautiful.

[@karenmccarty988]

Yes on the bangs!! It really gives your face a softer look......so beautiful 😍. And, by the way this studio apartment is looking fantastic. Keep it up! 😊

[@katrinarefior700]

I don't know how you guys keep doing it, but you take a style that I'm not into and it still amazes me every time!!! I thought I was going to hate the wallpaper and trim behind the TV but I actually like it. The space looks so much bigger and more lively now.

[@debrap947]

I was wondering how this would turn out because it's such a tight space. But WOW!!! it turned out gorgeous, great job AG team!!! FYI...not everyone has or wants to subscribe to Instagram.

I read the title as pastel scandal and thought ooh that’s going to be amazing!!! 😂 pastel Scandi is amazing too😃

[@annaryan4803]

I live in an apartment with old, cheap, plain cabinets. I decorate them with contact paper. (Amazon has several choices in several colors and patterns. There may be other sources too.) I choose pastel floral print contact paper, it transforms by kitchen in bathroom! My bathroom was dark, until I covered the cabinets with floral print contact paper! So, was my kitchen. I also decorated parts of my kitchen appliances with floral print contact paper.

This is gorgeous! So many amazing details! The only teeny tiny thing that I am not 100% in love with is the bedside table. It’s so small that I think it’s really hidden by the beautiful wings on the bed. The bed is just so beautiful and that wallpaper and the squiggle are so so cute! She looked absolutely thrilled and completely blown away! I’m so happy for her🎉🎉🎉

[@zerowhite2286]

Yes, I noticed that. It’s pretty so she could use it to display a plant or ornament, and have a little stool in front for more practical use.

[@margaretmurphy9795]

Loved the inspiration board the client brought -- but was sad to see the gold/brown color of the squiggle (Pinterest design more sophisticated) and the brown check in wallpaper. Why not stick with the pastels she had chosen. I would have suggested a desk with more lower storage and a longer console would again have provided the tiny space with more storage. Layout is very good.

[@laurenbadertscher9387]

Overall I love the design but I feel like some of the spaces end up a little cramped. The locker in the entry way is lovely, but seems a bit too deep for the space. Something the same height or a bit taller but a little less deep would have made it fell less cramped. The ottoman is also really cute but there just doesn't seem like there is enough space to walk through that area.

[@proboffensive]

i LOVE the repeating shape in the lights, plant pots, and that stool/storage thingie

[@hln3294]

I love your videos. I have a suggestion. I think Graham's work area could use a make over. (Where he made the squiggles, it is a garage space?) It looks like it could use a clean up, some organization, and maybe a new work table. Would love to see a video of this and maybe learn a little more about Graham and how he started in his line of work.

[@patriciagurwitz509]

Love your videos and your endless creativity 🎉🎉

[@Eloiseat6]

Very nice for her taste, with some colors she likes, like mauve and other shades of purple/pink. I would die in a place like this because of those colors. But I do like the golden yellow of the squiggle molding! I wish, and was hoping, you would have incorporated that gorgeous blue on the door in one of her inspo photos, instead of so much pink, mauve, and shades of purple. But that’s just me. You did a great job for Melissa’s taste.

[@linzertube]

This space is full of inspired ideas, really new looks and attention to details. The squiggles that Alana found online were a cool idea and Graham did an excellent job. Plus, that was really nice of him to go above and beyond by making the tv frame! Your team is well-picked!❤

[@a.phillips6892]

Absolutely beautiful team AG! Looks completely different! 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🤗🤗🤗

[@jopsky77]

This turned out beautifully one of my favorite makeovers so far! Excited to see the full apartment makeover in November ❤

[@franteague4555]

Love it as always. Just beautiful. But the bed table is to small for function. The bed head board curve will block out table while in bed.

[@KimSincox]

Wow! This makeover is transformational. What an impact it must have on her spiritually, emotionally, intellectually.....giving her a new outlook on everything! Bravo!

[@cyrinkel1657]

If I was 35, single, a minimalist, this is exactly what my home space would look like. You killed it Alex. And yes,go bangs.

[@rosalialeon5764]

Otro maravilloso departamento.. Felicitaciones a todos gran equipo .❤desde ciudad de México
