Cozy Coastal Bedroom Makeover! | Vintage, Thrifted, Eclectic Style

[@erinthehermit]

I love that Graham is walking around Home Sense finding gifts for people lol

[@TamarLitvot]

And that he mentioned James. I miss James!! I was worried that maybe he wasn't involved anymore.

[@kitty_s23456]

​@@TamarLitvotfrom a former vid, James now lives in Montreal & works remotely. AG & her team live in Toronto, so James can't be physically present in the vids (but he still works for AG).

[@serenakoleno9338]

Well this was just before Christmas.

[@TamarLitvot]

@@kitty_s23456 I'm aware of that and loved their redo of his Montreal apartment (one of my absolute favorites!). I just meant I hadn't heard his name mentioned in a long time so was a little worried he wasn't still involved with the team.

Graham and Alana’s homesense segment needs to be a segment on every makeover 🥹

[@wallywaffles1333]

THIS! Or just any outings with the two of them.

[@rocioiribe5841]

Came here to say this! It's the duo we didn't know we needed!

[@romysv]

Yes, please! That was so fun!!! 😂

[@anniq2678]

Yes! I came here to say that. Graham in Homesense was an episode all on its own. He’s so good natured.

[@TBYRDLEW]

Felt like the two kids going out 😅

[@Metaphysics-for-life]

I actually live in a cozy cottage in the woods... and I'm a Grandma 🙂 I had no idea that my style is now considered "Chic" !! I decorate exclusively with items I've been thrifting for almost thirty years, and yes, I like to collect locally made goat milk and herbal soaps 😀 ... and the two lamps in my bedroom are also not matching, and I love it!!

[@mslafave5689]

Luck you!

[@saphire2611]

Can we be friends

[@TubeTorte]

Am great-gran aged and live in an 1800's home in a coastal New England town. All my furnishings are thrifted also (except a couch which turned out to be junk), have non-matching lamps on each side of my antique brass bed and wallpaper (pale off white & beige stripe), natural wood furniture and, yes, artwork in my bedroom. Very peaceful. No goat milk soap, but am developing a thing for peppermint castile.

[@xingcat]

All of it is stunning, but her dad's paintings hanging there really felt like the absolute perfect touch to me. I love having art from people I know on my walls, whether they're artists or not.

[@rtd1791]

I love this as well. My childhood home had lots of art from family and friends.

[@TamarLitvot]

Yes! Art should be personal and meaningful, not just match in style and color. That's my one gripe with all the DIY/Home Decor people I follow (Alexandra is one of my two favorites). They put art on the walls of other people's homes that is not meaningful to the person. I understand why they do it (they need to do a complete job), but I wish they would talk to their client and ask them to collect art themselves that can be used in the space.

[@staceyschmidt3149]

​@@TamarLitvotI agree. I have started to imagine that all these recipients of the makeovers start to switch out the generic art for their own style one piece at a time as soon as they find something that speaks to them in their price range. On the other hand, I would _never_ allow someone to come into my house and start removing and changing what I've done and what speaks to me, because it's my style and I gather what I like together, and I think it has cohesion and makes me happy and works great together because of all that. It's nobody's style but my own. And I am independent and don't need anyone else telling me that it works together and oohing and ahhing over it to make me feel good about it. I trust my judgement. And I'm guessing a lot of people that watch shows like these feel the same way. But then there are those who like a certain "feel" in their houses but have no sense of how to create it and pull the whole thing together. Those are primarily the people that I imagine are signing up for these makeovers, and maybe they don't care one iota whether the art is meaningful to them or not.

[@gingersutton8240]

Maybe there is more to it all that we don’t see. You sound like you don’t need help. You have decorated your w a lovely style. I guess it’s all entertainment in the end. One show, who does a lovely decor job w/o what seems like very little input, is a lessen on home decor. The home owners are delighted!! It has also been reported that they turn around & sell the house for a big profit. I just learn & enjoy. I thank you for you input. It made me think a bit. Ty Team AG! Another wonderful event!

[@DigsRetro]

I'm surprised you didn't paint her old nightstand instead of giving her two that seem to not have drawers. She said how important it was for storing all of her belongings that she wanted to keep next to her bed.

[@rocioiribe5841]

Yeah I thought the same thing.

[@DRT813]

Yeah, even if the new ones have some storage, with the round shape you can't store documents as well. Reminds me of the makeower where the owner wanted plenty of space for their books and she got two little nightstand shelves 😅 I think sometimes Alexandra gets carried away with the vision (as beautiful as that vision is) and doesn't focus that much on what the owner said they want.

[@beejereeno2]

Agreed.

[@PennyPowell-fr9ec]

@@DRT813 100%! I've seen it happen a bunch of times.

[@Sdority905]

I thought this same thing. She said she would take the whole nightstamd, which is functional amd has lots of storage and instead she got something smaller that is harder to open. Drawers are so much better than doors when it comes to nightstands.

[@BeautifullyBookish95]

I love that every time that Alexandra jokes that he's doing such a good job painting 'it's almost like he's a professional painter', James feels like he has to put a disclaimer on the screen that Dave Is Actually A Professional Painter :')

[@miaallen6119]

LOVE IT!!! Not sold on the bedside tables; drawers seem like a better storage solution where everything can be separated instead of things being stacked on top of one another like they would be in that cupboard style space. BUT I agree, its absolutely some of your best work so far! So excited to see everything you have in store for 2024!

[@twinkletoes4518]

Agree on the end tables. Waste of space.

[@jocelynf139]

Agree! It doesn’t fit her need for storage as cute as they are

[@Steph11048]

I agree, and the fact the bedside tables are round isn't very helpful for paperwork.

[@ac1646]

The round shape works so well, especially in a smaller space. It makes it look so much more stylish and classy than boxy drawers. Sometimes it's a bit of give and take. 😊😊

[@TubeTorte]

@@ac1646 Not if their main purpose is to store important papers. I figure she will now have to devote one of the bureau drawers, but she won't have the small drawers which were probably specifically organized.

[@Marginallyflailing]

I love seeing you talk to each other and goof around. Your group is so wholesome and the shopping trip extra feature was adorable. Such a charming group. I also love the makeover of course

[@TamarLitvot]

The fact that so many of Alexandra's folks have been with her for so long tells you that it must be a good place to work.

[@freudianslipp]

ily Alexandra, but if I had told you how important the storage in my 3-drawer bedside table is and you replaced it with essentially an empty box, I would be so unhappy lol

[@trixie1556]

I agree but that is a small blip in a beautiful, amazing makeover.

[@karenking5357]

Maybe she put the old night table in the closet.... that's what I would have done....my only complaint if you want to call it that, is I would have trimmed the marble piece under the window...it made the curtains stick out too much....but the idea of the piece is FABULOUS!!

[@bringezk]

I'm sort of thinking if I had all my documents ready to run out, I'd have them in a container inside the nightstand ready to grab & go so that would fit inside that huge space along with other bits & pieces to keep out of sight.

[@olive.ellen201]

[@waterbitten]

Beachy babushka bungalow is the the best description.😂😂😂

[@WBCRO]

It looks like Graham wisely left the Barbie artwork at the store but it was sweet of him to think of getting something for James. I love that Team AG is such a little family. This is a beautiful bedroom and your thrifted finds - artwork, free-standing mirror and the green dresser fit this decor style perfectly. I’m not sure that using all new pieces would work for granny chic. I literally laughed out loud when Graham suggested getting “lots of soaps” for a granny-inspired room! He’s actually not wrong! My Nan’s bedroom always carried the scent of Jergen’s hand cream and lavender. I love that you included “Little Women” on the marble ledge. 🥰

[@mersac9049]

Wonderful makeover, also love the fact that she got some of her dads work up on the walls. Makes it super special for her.

[@Danicalip8]

One of my favorite things about your channel is that you cater to everyone’s style…not just what is on “trend”. I love that. Everyone likes different things and I love seeing the variety of decor styles every week. It’s so refreshing! 😍

[@striketochill]

This style is pretty on trend right now tbh

[@rocioiribe5841]

True yet most of their videos are on trend. I think it's a big factor in how they do callouts for makeovers.

[@Danicalip8]

True, that’s what I meant by “not JUST what is on trend”. Like they do so much more than just trendy things you see on TikTok or something. It’s a variety of different styles and not just one. Sorry if I was unclear with my wording. Lol

[@amandas.4540]

Yes!!! I love this. I’ve also discovered some things outside of my style comfort zone that I actually love because of Alexandra being so inclusive.

[@amandas.4540]

@@Danicalip8I get what you’re saying. I think the major factor is that Alexandra deviates vastly from HER personal style and she can still knock it out of the park. Not every designer is willing to do that or even capable of doing that.

It's a very pretty room -- love the wallpaper and the bed and especially the chest of drawers -- perfection! The overhead light is gorgeous. Once you changed the shade on the taller lamp, those two different lamps are a good touch. My only gripe is the bedside tables. They're very nice but a vintage set would have worked better and also, they don't provide the kind of organized space that Niamh made clear is important to her. But that's so much less important than how lovely the room is in general.

[@whateverislovely8654]

I agree. When I saw the tables I was like that’s not what she asked for. Am old wood vintage filing cabinet would’ve been better with drawers and somewhere for papers

[@pirlie]

I guess she can put her stuff in a basket in the drawer, so "in case of fire" she doesnt need to carry the whole drawer outside.

[@kelseymakari1936]

My thoughts exactly. The bedside tables are very nice but more like an awkward corner cabinet in terms of storage. Very different than what she described was working for her.

[@shastachenry8289]

Agreed! A single circular cupboard does not do the work of three square draws.

[@ljlou5746]

She clearly disregarded something important to her client. Not good.

[@Roberta-mimie]

[@daniellemartin9896]

I love everything about the makeover except that the side tables are very obviously not sufficient for her needs. They barely fit the lamps and have one small hard to reach through storage space rather than actual drawers. This style of side table is more suited to a living room or guest bedroom, not for storing all of your most important things as she said she needed.

[@aeconiglio]

My girlfriend is a designer and loves William Morris so much that she got WM florals as full sleeves (tattoos). Gorgeous on her arms, gorgeous on those walls! 🩷

[@AmyLovesOldStuff]

The French Provincial mirror is absolutely gorgeous! My bedroom has my mother's 1960s French Provincial bed suite and I would definitely visit and take the mirror home with me. A little tip: the closet door pulls are upside down. The pull should be hanging down. This makeover isanother great. Happy 2024

[@FOXYCECILIA]

Nowadays it's trending to hang pulls anyway u want...I personally like it the way she did it.

[@beejereeno2]

I thought the same thing about the pulls!

[@Sam82631]

I got to say I am extremely disappointed with the side tables. She's losing so much storage space and gaining one big space which is more difficult to organize and less usable for what she uses it for. Other than that, I love this makeover. Both of her styles are my styles.

Love Graham's suggestion of soaps for the grandma vibe. Brought back childhood memories of the decorative soaps that were just for "pretty".

[@MarieKrautz]

Our pelmets have that same swooped detailing but are wood. They work as room darkeners. When you have darkening curtains without pelmets, the light from outside still shines up on the ceiling. I didn't know they had a name though, so cool!

[@teresacarle294]

😊Sounds sweet. FYI that shape is called "scalloped." Some small cabin/cottage style houses in LA built in 1950s had wood scalloped accents in the kitchen🤍.

[@paged5092]

This makeover is magical and I’m obsessed with how it turned out, but I would love to see y’all thrift more. Of all the rooms you’ve done, this one would have been PERFECT for thrifted things and I think the second hand piece would have added to the cozy nature, pieces that have history and stories. Home Sense has great pieces and I understand the need for it, when you’re looking for specific things, but the knick knacks and styling pieces especially I would love to see more thrifting. The adventure of the hunt and the treasures you can find, plus giving things a new life. Like, the thrifted mirror at the end was one of my favorite pieces of the whole room.

[@sarahhansen762]

This is the exact opposite of my style, but I absolutely love it for her. You totally nailed it. Great job!

The night stands are so NOT what she wanted. She wanted to store documents. These are terrible for her function.

[@julianolan2860]

Pelmets traditionally seal the gaps around the top of the curtain rail, saving on heating and cooling. I am always surprised by the flimsy curtains and rails in the cool climate you live in. Here in my semi tropics we have dispensed with pelmets by running a track on the ceiling and the fittings on the curtains face upwards with a disguising pleating. We have two tracks per window one curtain is a fine linen for light but heat protection and the next is more heavily lined to block the light and keep the cool inside. Glad to see a pelmet. Love a great fan !!

[@stephanieiv1163]

Niamh said she liked wallpaper. Possibly everywhere. She got two-tone walls that will look dated by April. The proportions of the lovely pelmet are wrong. It should be wider. The curtains are too short. They look squashed. The Rug, again, lovely choice is the wrong size. The gallery wall should be on the other side. The light fixture above the bed is not conductive to relaxed sleep and, again, somehow disproportionate to the room. The dresser is the wrong shade. The handles on the folding doors look jarring because the style of the door clashes with them. There’s too much wicker. The side tables have the wrong height and use up too much space without any real storage value. The lamps: should be nearer in height and the green is all wrong. Not because it’s not the same green but because, like the dresser, it’s in another color family, temperature wise. There’s so much lovely choices and some seriously bad decisions. The room will look untidy when not styled.

[@lynnburlingham8160]

Agree, definitely wider and longer curtain arrangement that frame the windows and radiator. Cover the radiator flish with the window sill for a deeper window shelf. Love the wallpaper and accent pieces, but hate the mismatched side table lamps. Doesn't say "eclectic ". Instead, it just looks "thrift store poor" rather than thoughtfully curated.

[@centralWisconsin1]

Personal preference, blue walls, -yuck. I would have gone with a soft green color, similar to what’s in the wallpaper. I know, it’s just me. I just hate blue walls. Marble top over register, great idea Alexandra! Regarding 4-panel sliding door. I would have considered treating 2-panels as one, and picture framed 2-left doors as one piece, and 2-right doors as one piece. Each of the 2 pictured frame sections would then be tall vertical rectangles, but it might work, else just do center 2-panels together. In this case, one could consider painting the left & right outer edge panels same color as the wall paint color. Also, in either case, picture framing trim would need to be painted same color as closet panel doors, as I believe using the outer closet pink trim would be too much.

[@vickinoeske1154]

Love the blue, adore the wallpaper, the pelmet is outstanding. Not sure how I feel about the pink trim. The room is very pretty.🩵

AG downgraded that dresser, big time. The older one was bigger and Niamh clearly said most important clothing storage for her was folded/dressers. You could have just painted her old dresser, IDK.

While the OP doesn’t specify the exact situation they are in that prevents wallpaper, a trick I’ve used in situations where I cannot paint or wallpaper is to use foam core. Foam core can be attached to the wall with Command Strips. You can paint, wallpaper, and glue fabric to the foam core.

I'm sorry, i don't think you listened to her need for a side table with proper storage... there's 1 little shelf? she had so much stuff in her last one...

Does Niamh's dad sell his art? Where can I find out more?

[@lorimecikalski3079]

I would never want to leave this bedroom. It is just perfect in every way!

[@danielle1713]

also the dresser is sooo much smaller...

Anne of Green Gables would loooove this room

I love that Graham just started finding items to gift for everyone. Such a sweet soul 😂🥹

[@donnabacon4681]

Tears! Every. Single. Time!! Very nice! Love the mirror - gorgeous!! Her dad's art - sweet! Still getting used to the 2 different lamps; it doesn't work with OCD!!! Graham - needs more trips to HomeSense! Probably a good distraction from all the detailing work he does - need a break once-in-a-while. Have a blessed day!! xxoo

I love everything about this makeover. Her inspiration photos is exactly what she her room looks like. Its beautiful unique and cozy. Great job guys thanks Alexandra

[@Faeriedarke]

Not my style, but you did it so well I'm converted. I love William Morris, so the wallpaper was a total win. And Graham is so talented and quirky, I just love him to bits ❣

Shopping with Graham! 😂 I love this space ❤ It is so fun and cozy.

Used to have a giant pelmet across my entire living room window in the same sad fabric as the vetical blinds. Took it down before we even moved in 😂 but now I'm kind of wishing I'd thought to just re-cover it in a fun fabric! #pelmetclub

Something about this makeover is so satisfying, like getting a soothing sweet tea time! While the picture wall was appropriate I personally wound have picked lighter colors except for the tree painting, which I loved! The wallpaper was Devine!

I love how sweet and minimal her requests are ❤

[@maryannkom299]

She’s like me, I love pink, but I’m very very drawn to light blues too. Most of my homes is in shades of blue because I feel pink just isn’t for the masses.

Also, Carla demonstrates her genius again with closing shots. You too, James 🎉
