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!

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. 💜

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.

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).

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

I have a degree in Interior Design and I have ADHD plus I’m very OCD, the Granny Chic style agitates my OCD and the busy mish/mash of styles and colors keeps my ADHD bouncing all over the place. However, you have accomplished this style better than anyone designer I’ve ever seen and I’m very old, so I’ve been around. Thank you for your fresh perspective.

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.

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.
