SMALL Renter-Friendly Patio Makeover With Lots of Colour

[@AutumnLucas75]

Love it!!! Wished you'd shown it at night too with the pretty lights 💡

[@db4907]

Me too!! Team AG-we need a night time video!

[@DanLimb]

I always think that when they've changed the lighting. Especially for living, dining and bedrooms where a major part of the room's function is how it works at night.

[@Nefertsukia]

Maybe we could get a sneak peak on Instagram stories, that'd be lovely!

[@meremeth]

It's expensive to hire a camera person, they probably have a set amount of time with their reveal day videographer.

[@trulocks]

I know right!!

[@Merzui-kg8ds]

Can we have some applause for Graham? That dude has a mad skill set.

[@arleenholmes7218]

I love it. Wish you would of added a storage box. Nobody wants to put covers on everything when it rains or snows. So convenient to be able to open a lid and toss it all in. Waterproof, and protective

[@lindawarden-burglund9603]

I think the covers are for the winter. The fabrics on the couch and pouf are weather resistant against rain in spring, summer, and fall. The rug is also made for the outdoors, and it can be cleaned before winter, rolled up, stored under the couch, which will then be covered. Perhaps the chair, nesting tables, side tables, and the bistro table and chairs can be stored where the table is now and covered, or a few pieces (the chair and the pouf) could be used inside. Just some thoughts about winter storage solutions.

[@talleysuehohlfeld3959]

I wish they’d added a rather proof metal box/bench to store the covers in during the summer.

[@lorithrower2467]

I like this very much BUT when the rug gets wet, it's wet for a day or two. Hopefully the couch cover is easy to just slip on and off because it will be needed a lot.

[@JulieNick28]

Finding Graham was a blessing - plus you two have such a cute chemistry and work so well together. This turned out beautiful, as usual!

[@valarya]

Actual string light tip: They make amazing smart-app connected string lights for patios now that are NOT glass - so they literally cannot shatter. Ever. Great job!

[@kczmonkey03]

Give us a link 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🥹

[@candiceokkers2932]

Missed this content soooo much!!! Team AG always brings the perfect combo of creativity, entertainment and education

[@AlexandraGater]

Aw this is so lovely, thank you!

[@nancyanneberg403]

I had missed this one and just discovered a treasure. Thank you for making that woman a living space. Wonderful use of brain cells,kids.

[@kellym97532]

Hi Alexandra! I love the makeover

[@EmmaVB82]

YES I wholeheartedly second this! I got two cats a year ago, and they definitely pose a whole lot of different challenges I hadn’t foreseen! For one, they’re huge Maine Coons, so all the things like litterboxes, towers, and beds, also need to be huge and sturdy for their size and strength, so they aren’t the sort of thing you can just easily hide with the cute DIYs like Alexandra did with the litterbox cabinet for Lottie! I’ve got two enclosed litterboxes, but I’m already right at the top end of litterbox size, with the longest one being 66cm/26” long (and 48cm wide), and my biggest cat has trouble comfortably turning around in the slightly shorter but wider box (57x50cm) - the recommendation to have litter trays 1.5 times as long as your cat is basically impossible when your cats are giants 😹 I’ve got a good floor to ceiling tower with multiple perches/beds and hammocks, right by the window and the sofa, and they spend a LOT of time there. I’ve currently got a junky solution to give them access to sleep on top of the fridge (really big square platform with a cushion on top, where they can be close to me when I’m cooking 😽and still have a good position to survey their territory!), but my hope/goal is to basically turn the whole wall behind my sofa and running from the window to the kitchen into a cat wall with proper jumpable shelves - I’ve basically admitted defeat on having the stylish made-over space of my dreams in favour of functionality for the fluffy members of my family! I wanted to extend it all above the window and over to my desk on the other side and to have a couple of cat shelves over there for them too, but there’s just not enough room above the window for them to jump onto and then comfortably traverse a long shelf up there without having to do a commando crawl! I look enviously at the catifications of people with smaller cats (as well as at the lovely homes of people without cats at all 😂) They’re a total liability as well - in the last few weeks one has jumped up on one of my lovely marble hexagon shaped side tables (bought before I had cats 😅) - this is fine in and of itself and I don’t see how I could stop them anyway, but he’s then toppled it over while leaping off it, and it came crashing down to leave a dent/gouge in my laminate floors - twice! 😫 Whenever I see makeovers I’m now looking at them through the eye of a cat owner - I now know that top-heavy tables are a terrible idea for me 😂 He’ll also reach up and pull down any towel or hanging fabric item he can reach (and he’s a BIG cat and can easily reach the kitchen counter from standing on the floor, as well as all the door handles!), so I have to find creative places to put anything like that I don’t want him to destroy/get all fluffy and on the floor. Just as well he’s cute - currently he’s featuring in my KZbin profile pic, so I figure that gives me justification to complain about him on the internet 😂

[@iljaberendsenn]

I never watched this video, dont understand how i have not seen it .. well i am watching it now, and love it❤

[@KamisKisses]

You know the saying, "You hit it out of the park?" There is no park, Alexandra you hit it out of the world. Really really love this💖😱💯

[@juanitalavadie9831]

Graham's dove tailing of the light poles, joining the 3 wood pieces for each,, glued and fixed in place with a dowel is a credit to his workmanship.

[@michaelbeck4236]

Who needs a dumb ole solstice to let you know summer is here when you’ve got Team AG’s first outdoor patio makeover video of the season??

[@olliejilliangil8382]

The dining nook is my favorite part!

[@AlexandraGater]

Mine too!! 😻

[@alexandrastevens8892]

This has definitely become my absolute favorite patio makeover. Its gorgeous and extends her studio apartment brilliantly. She could have a canopy over the whole lot if she was to lengthen the outside seasons 😊

[@alexandrastevens8892]

PS I wanted to see it lit up at night 😢

[@joantrotter3005]

I was wondering if putting up that plexiglass like they use on greenhouses could be done in winter? Have a canopy part of the time, and plexiglass the rest of the year?

[@Sonshine1296]

This was such a fun makeover! I love the nook with the green lattice. It's adorable.

[@TamarLitvot]

Yes! It was such a great idea to do that

[@AnnSarasvati]

It’s really beautiful. I love the accent wall. Great for hosting and also serene to sit out there and read a book. Practical me just wonders about how long that white rug will last. Someone’s dirty shoes will immediately mark it up. I would have put something with a pattern and not so white.

[@jarcha4200]

Agree with the rug observation.

[@JudgeyJudgeyable]

I always love seeing graham's work and Alexandra's train of thought

[@NCTarHeelinGA]

Alexandra, you have a great laugh! And, Graham, you are so talented!

[@phyllisstein1837]

wow, that is really nice. that is an actual living room outdoors. talk about making the most of a small patio. cooking, dining, living area all in one place.

[@Gagoum17]

Lovely space!! Canadian renters sound like they have so much freedom to drill holes, and it gives it so much opportunity to improve the space, well done !

[@marinacam]

Alexandra, your love of people, design, your team, your work, yourself, and life itself was everywhere in this video. Graham continues to knock it out of the park with his amazing craftsmanship. This was absolutely delightful. Outstanding result! ❤

[@luvurab]

Gorgeous. So cozy and intimate. HOWEVER…I would dispense with the bird feeder as you will get bird seed everywhere as well as perhaps bird poop!

[@restlessroadtrips4099]

And with that comes mice.and rats.

[@rog3129]

Amazing poles for the lights! 🎉. This is so gorgeous now!!

[@AlexandraGater]

They’re a game changer!

[@danikitttie]

Agree 💯%

[@snorlund1]

It looks really nice! 😊

[@taylajohnson7972]

Ugh I love this !!! All it’s missing is some chimes for some ambiance

[@deborahhanchett899]

Graham is a superhero!!! Truly skilled, gifted, talented, and so kind! I love him so much!!!💕💕💕

[@walle5667]

I really appreciate that you are consistent with your uploads and that you didn't feel the need to change your format. I'm really happy about it and I enjoy your content. A beautiful transformation once again :) Graham seems to know everything, he is such a good fit for your team.

[@dorothymaikis4647]

I am 83 and I love you all you make my day I wish I had the money to have you come to my apartment buthugs

[@dorothymaikis4647]

[@journey2joy578]

You are my favorite show to watch. Loved this!

[@melaninfreeflowing4248]

New fan of yours! I’ve been binging your videos for the past few days. I’m obsessed with the tiny space makeovers!

[@debsylvester2012]

Alexandra, you are terrific! I absolutely love your camera presence. Your team is exceptional. Great energy. Your designs are Fabulous. Thank you for always being so much fun. Keep going!☮️👏👏👏👏

[@joevan5606]

Lattice is nice or I think from the picture she gave the corrugated metal even rusted but painted with her favorite color maybe blue or green or blue green would really be cool 😀 or you can do the art painting on it ❤….I love ur herb garden 😊

[@rebekahpoppen]

I love how you hung the lights! I've always not liked the metal pole option, but the wood style posts you went with are so cute!

[@lilred312benett6]

I really like the painted lattice framing the bistro area. It's different

[@terriwade946]

Alexandra, the team is super creative and Graham ... surely does perfect with the woodwork projects! The proof is apparent and so clear!

[@retroredo9850]

Although we all have our own styles and color preferences the thing you are really expert at is zoning! I couldnt quite figure out the stairs at first. Im really impressed the owner of the building did such great patios worked in with the stairs for all to have their spot and be able to get to their patio and exit. Ive lived in places where the only stairs to all apartments had 30 other tenants rubber necking looking into our living room window!

[@KathrynFarrell355]

Wow! Every episode you really kick it out of the park with friendly cosy fun makeovers. I really like the episodes where the space does not look like it could be made over the way you do it. Your team though as well. Very talented bunch of folk.

[@thinkplanetearth2946]

Huge fan of everything Alexandra does. The place looks amazing. But, a couple of things stood out for me that could be challenging for the homeowner: 1) If she has to pull down the string of lights when winter comes and then put them back up again that could be tedious; 2) A white rug, even if it's an outdoor rug doesn't seem like the most practical choice as it's gonna get dirty, guaranteed. But again, the space does look amazing. Very inviting.

[@pamelafox7677]

Graham looked so cute, let him know. This turned out great, lots of space.

[@beeARTcanada]

So pretty and HAPPY-looking! A beautiful piece of driftwood or light-weight metal sculpture would be nice instead of the print and could stay outdoors year round.

[@mydigitalspace13]

Hi AG team, your videos are really a treat to my eyes. Everyday before bed i watch these videos. Thanks to all of you for all the hard work ❤

[@seyma3324]

its so professional coz u dont just design the area's looking. u also think about functionality like alot. im very impressed

[@margaritadiaz3779]

What a great use of space! The posts were the best idea ever for putting up the lights. Go, team AG!❤❤❤ I love your makeovers, and I'm sure that your clients feel the same way.

[@thexxit]

So gorgeous! I really love that orange chair, looks comfy and could work indoors too. I think you definitly checked all the boxes with this one!

[@helenwalker9751]

Awesome. Loved everything, especially the rug with such a unique shape

[@i.plvygrnd]

Summer now sounds 20x's better with these upcoming videos. Thanks for the inspiration!!

[@ElizabethsManyAdventures]

That is so stinkin adorable!!! A perfect arrangement to maximize the space and event capabilities!!!!!

[@quadbox]

I loved this make over. In my opinion Team AG utilised the space really well and the client seemed really delighted - shame they were wearing their glasses for the reveal because it would have been nice to see their expressions.

[@fleurjardin1012]

Alexandra, I love your style. Always beautiful and always practical, too. Graham is an amazing all round can-do-anything craftsman. You make a great team!

[@ginacrusco234]

The BEST patio makeover EVer!

[@DCupcake58]

This is a beautiful space. Great job, Team AG. My husband, who has done woodworking since high school, gets some great tips from Graham. Also if birds are prevalent in the area avoid twine to hold anything. I used it on my patio to attach some metal art work and robins managed to untie it and take it for the nest they were building in a nearby tree. I couldn’t figure out why my signs were hanging by one piece of twine until I saw most of the twine hanging out of the nest….zip ties for the win.

[@jamiekallio9301]

I’m in Calgary and discovered your channel a few months ago. You’re hilarious and talented. Keep up the amazing work.

[@gradyvandenbosch]

It makes me so happy to know that she now has a beautiful space to host, an outdoor livingroom. What a lovely place, with an eye for detail with the green nook, the lights and the other stuff. Smiling here! I think she will be there all the time during summer. I would!

[@jettabartholomew1118]

This was awesome...one thing...if you put a scented candle or flowers where you're eating...especially citronella - that's what your food will taste like.

[@angelaglaros]

I’m officially jealous!!

[@rosemaryporter5771]

Love your creativity talent in action❤

[@susankilpatrick2918]

Deck looks great! Graham is so incredibly talented!!!

[@glorial1569]

Absolutely lovely I love her little bistro nook

[@largedoglover99]

😮😮😮😮 spindles! To be avoided at all cost! I find the spindles to be uncomfortable 😢😢😢😢 even with fluffy pillows . I love your channel do amazing work.❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Orlagh]

This is so beautiful 😍 relaxing on that sofa with an iced coffee and a good book would be heaven!

[@Vanessa.111]

This is def my style and color theme

[@alannalujan]

Just gorgeous!!

[@janebradfield2373]

Ok Graham in the Hawaiian shirt was giving Ken vibes in the Barbie movie! Love love love 💕

[@sherryberryblueberry6156]

What a gorgeous space you created. I am also so impressed with the genius that is Graham and those elegant posts for the lights!

[@martag9128]

I love Graham your friendship is so cutee

[@pandorasmagicbox]

Ceramic plates are great for outdoor decor. Thank you for your ideas. I want to improve my outdoor space.

[@maureenk1635]

Amazing transformation!

[@cindym6065]

I would never go in the house. I'd want to sleep out there too! It's fabulous.

[@vickinoeske1154]

Fantastic makeover. Sophisticated and fun. Love the way the round side tables fit into the notches of the rug. The lights, the lattice, everything, great. Wish you had shown us a night view.

[@tlcbear411]

Love this. Love the green outside. 🎉🎉🎉

[@paulaNagle]

I wanna a Graham too!!! the guy is like a magician!

[@elizabethrosado4602]

Hi Danie!! What beautiful tribute to Vincenzo,May he rest in paradise..❤

[@isabelapinto8200]

I love it so much! It looks incredible!! Congrats, Alexandraaa 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@SaidiLouise]

The "cup hook special " is GENIUS. Going to use it today!!!!

[@cattyandfriends]

Yayyyhhhh!!! New video 😁 Please also do a room make over with cat/pet stuff incorporated like litter box. I have seen all your pet related content, but need new ideas since graham has joined your team.

[@debrasparkman3430]

Alexandra is so good. I love her videos. A friend from South Carolina in the US.

[@pandaevenstar]

I love listening to Alexandra narrate Graham’s woodworking projects 😂 like I super appreciate the detail bc my bf and I are very DIY-friendly and I actually get a lot of really good info, but Alexandra sounds so surprised when she says stuff like “speed square”

[@donnabong]

I love it!!! Where do I get the remote plug in and remote for the outdoor string lights? That’s GENIUS!

[@PS-bs8oe]

For art, you can use old ( or new) metal enamel billboard plates which do great outside. You can also go to a workshop and make a wooden sign , with a quote or word that speaks to you. Treillis can look totally different the other way down ( it actually widens the space, so always check out your horizontal and certical positioning before cutting and attaching. With global warming, lemons in Toronto become a trend ; - )))

[@ameliarl89]

Love to see an outdoor space!

[@KimSincox]

So much fun and so useful! You have surely changed the way she can live there. Bravo!

[@plentioff]

Loved it! Simplicity is beauty, well done!🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@janetbodine5733]

I live in an apt where the patio is in kind of a wind tunnel - I cut lengths of bias tape, and stitched the center of the bias tape to my throw pillows and cushions and then I tied the loose ends of the bias tape to my bench to prevent things getting blown away.

[@shirleylangton7967]

An outdoor space makes all the difference to enjoyment of your home. I love this; sure it will get lots of use!💋😺

[@elmapollard4238]

Couldn't wait for this either...oh how I'd love to make my patio beautiful too! So we'll done❤
