Dark Condo Den Turned Craft Workshop | Home Office Makeover

[@LittleCocoStudio]

I LOVE MY SPACE! Whenever I head into the room, I always stop and admire my cozy little boutique before going in and using it. :)

[@mx5373]

Your candles and wall hanging decore are SO CUTE!

[@LittleCocoStudio]

@@mx5373 thank you so much for your kind words! 🥰

[@Oddsoulandthesound]

I love that light. it totally matches the feel of the rest of the space

[@StellaBella488]

She killed this one!! 👏🏽👏🏽 I wanna work there too!!

[@sherrysink3177]

Love those color block candles! Do you ship to the U.S.? :)

[@ITGirlll]

I like that you try to incorporate client’s personalities in your designs. There were a lot of pompoms in the beginning of your vids lol and now the designs are more varied (but do still have pompoms at times like now lol) while reflecting your style as well. 👍🏼👏🏼

[@beverlydust5381]

The light is appropriate for the space and the craft she does, I think that the space turned out quite nicely.

[@theaubingirl]

Where can I find the light?

[@niva8043]

The den looks amazing and can we all take a moment to appreciate Xico's skills?! #Xicothetalented

[@nabeela298]

Everyone needs a Xico in their life lol

[@JessRoseBackburnerArt]

"I can't even wait to work in this space." As a fellow artist/ crafter, I can appreciate this statement. It's definitely a compliment to you, Alexandra, because it's such a big deal to have a place where you feel free and excited to create. Love this episode! ❤

[@michi225]

Just wanna say, I really appreciate the idea behind this series. Love seeing an entrepreneur support and shout out fellow entrepreneurs.

[@lindakovacs7904]

The light has a life of it's own and character with an adorable way of showing what a creative situation can do. Exactly specifically not dull.

[@ambbam1010]

The island idea is amazing! I love how it doesn’t take up wall space and helps utilize all the space. Plus I know that when I’m crafting I like to be able to move around and that is just such an ideal solution!

[@nancydugas3022]

You are such a natural on camera...so easy to watch. I so appreciate that you are not too loud or over the top. Your projects are a real delight to watch.

[@ta-liaperry1861]

Love the minimalism of the rooms layout and the calming green color on the walls. I love all the things! Great job!

[@CorpseBride64]

Alexandra, I want to say something to you. I love the way you always help everyday people with everyday challenges. Too many designers, make-up artists, etc only cater to the wealthy. The world is full of such good ppl trying to make something of themselves. You are an angel and I hope you continue to remain humble. I wish you every success.

[@kdramsey965]

As a crafter I appreciate you incorporating the crafting items as part of the decor. Most crafters I know enjoying “grab and go” with supplies.

[@eyafaer]

Alison's area works perfectly for Alexandra because their styles vibe each other. I love it

[@vickytimmerman1365]

Am 68 and I always feel your light fixtures are so creative and adds so much to space!

[@jolien8123]

honestly, makeover vids are so inspiring and calming 😌

[@rachelwint5582]

Great 👍🏾 . The lighting choice was a perfect match for this crafting nook .

[@donnadixon8065]

But the space is beautiful Alexandra, I didn't say that to take away from how beautiful you make these spaces. You are the bomb! Thank you God for blessing us with Alexandra and her gifts.

[@anisa8835]

This is probably my favorite makeover in the series. I think the light fixture goes perfectly here and I like that the kitchen island provides her with the option to stand or sit.

[@celebkiriedhel]

As a yarn crafter, I'm a bit concerned about the dust on the yarn - but if she puts them in plastic bags that would sort that out. And with the crafting tools on the top shelf? Does she have a ladder/foot stool to get to them? (I have arthritis so access is an issue for me). I keep all my tools in boxes in an open shelf, and the yarns are sorted by type and brand mostly in boxes. I do have a set of yarn that are out (because I love the colours) but I do have to keep them in plastic bags to protect them from the dust. The light is gorgeous. And the overall effect of the room is spectacular.

[@RachelReiss]

I was worrying about the dust, too. It's beautiful having it out, but I think everyone who tries it has to find a way to protect it because dust is not kind to yarn.

[@quadbox]

Interesting about the dust because most yarn shops here in Italy store them exactly how Alexandra has done in this video.

[@clairewiltshire8033]

I worried about that for my fabrics and realised that you just need to dust regularly! 😊 It's a good incentive.

[@pippylunalove]

@@quadbox I suppose their through put is greater though.

[@celebkiriedhel]

@@quadbox That's interesting - in our shops they have a few balls out, but most of the stock is kept in their plastic bags. (I'm in Australia).

[@aviajarehema7393]

Love this makeover! Simplistic in its design, every item is put in its place; the assorted colors of the items displayed as well the storage areas/furnishings are very functional. Very good job!

[@dianamcmahon51510]

I loooooove that paint color! And that light?! Come ON! Not *my* style but it works SO well for that room. Super cute dress too,the black polka dot.

[@shaynaformity1384]

Finally, a light centered over a crafter's workspace! If the single bulb is not enough light for her, there's even enough space on the island to add a lamp, or a sconce under the shelf to the left, or even a clip-on light (I know, not "cute," but functional if she's not handy with a drill). You nailed the lighting on this one! But a hard metal stool? Weavers need a slanted seat and a bit of cushioning to prevent ischial bursitis (aka weaver's bottom)!

[@lr5612]

It turned out ridiculously adorable. The light isn't for me but worked perfectly in the space

[@paulajf4205]

Given what her business is and what the office is used for, the light fixture made of yarn, is a perfect choice.

[@beinthisspace4688]

Not that you dont already know, but you look gorg in this video! I especially loved the black dress and earring combo. Simple but stunning.

[@juliadunn8827]

When I saw that chandelier I exclaimed out loud and almost woke the chihuahuas. I LOVE IT. I also do art like ceramic which I’m going to do outside on my patio but also mosaic and jewelry making. I’m working on a way to organize and prioritize my beloved art/crafts. In a small studio. Too bad I live in San Francisco. Still if you wanted to do a show on the road! Great job. Inspiring.

[@cheerleader97scs]

I think this is my favorite makeover Alexandra has ever done. This room is EVERRRYYTHHHINGG. And the light. I CANT. So good.

[@carlyh6913]

The beautiful pendant is made for a crafters room, it's so nice and chic with the colourful yarn in the background. Love the lockers + kitchen island table + gold stool + grown up MiNT green 💚💚💚💚💚

[@theadventuresofamildlychun2001]

I love watching these makeovers, and I really like the way the renewed spaces help your clients to further their businesses. I'd love to see a floor-plan showing how the space fits into the overall home.

[@VsLeo1]

I would have put a badass desk on that wall under the candles that would still create storage and keep the room open, a pretty rug where the island is, and a dog bed on the opposite wall. I do love everything else!

[@GoogleUser-wx8mw]

Great job! Tell the truth, Alexandra: Were you not in heaven when you entered her apartment and saw all of those pom poms?!! Love the light. Saw the natural colored one in her apartment, so I think the larger , more colorful one is a great choice that fits her style, too.

[@jadebarber5156]

That light, though! Brilliant! And I will say, it probably made sense for me seeing her yarn starter first. Niiiiiiiicely done!

[@Eleese__]

Alexandra really loves that sage green 😄

[@rebeccaswanson2736]

Light is great as pink undertones are perfect with textile arts. I think this room is in my top 5!

[@marivazpraonde]

When Alexandra was about to open the paint tin, I was thinking "please, give me a dusty green". When I saw she had indeed picked that green I squealed with excitement. And that's how much I love this channel.

[@Zabigdog]

It's so good to know I'm not the only one who goes "sqweeeek!" at least once every time...♥️

[@pamelafox7677]

Wonderful, you created horizontality which makes it wider. Love the light.

[@jenniferr9998]

I "colorbetize" my yarns. I currently have mine in clear shoe organizers hanging on the bedroom and closet doors so they also kind of act as decorations for my bedroom. And I love that lamp!

[@ldepass4343]

Lights are fun.. repeats texture of yarn in the cabinet. Works with the fun creative vibe👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@limeylena]

Based on my own personal style I should hate the light, but it works so perfectly with her yarn collection and the wall hangings that she makes, so I think I actually love it here!

[@lenesvingel4450]

I absolutely LOVE it when you bring in statement Lighting. . It adds interest, personality, originality and a hint of drama that binds together the whole layout and design. Make more bold choices, Alexandra💪

[@laurensophia1246]

I absolutely loved this episode! 100% upgraded. I think all the choices were on point: the color that made the room feel bigger and separate, open storage for the aesthetic materials, just the right amount of stuff with room to spare for additions. Great job, Alexandra! AND I LOVE THE LIGHT. How could you not?

[@vanessaruiz7949]

Love the lamp, send you a warm Caribbean hug. 💙🤩

[@bleugaze]

This was beautiful. I am still hoping you are going to do a special or episodes in which Chico shows us how he builds the furniture that he does. I LOVE those shelves, AND, the one he built for your bathroom!

[@lovefaith6285]

OMG!! Her space is GORGEOUS!!! Alexandra, you were most definitely eating a design sandwich on this one! Lol! Seriously, you're so amazing at what you do and I love your channel. So excited for your Tedtalk next month!!! 😍😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏 P.S. I am obsessed with the wall color! I think that's the green I have been searching for to add in my kitchen. You pick such great colors and thank you for the paint tip. Absolutely LOVE the light fixture, it's PERFECT!! 👏👏👏😍😍😍

[@cz5831]

I think the light is really appropriate for the space and for her style too...there are like tons of pompoms on her fridge 🤣🤣 you found another pompoms lover and I really appriciate you included it in the space 👍 I think you did a great job and since she enjoys it so much...well that is actually all that matters 😁

[@sunsetntwilight]

To me , bold lighting is never really something I *hate* - even if it's not exactly my style, you always pick lamps that fit the space perfectly :)

[@violetcyclops]

Your office makeovers are my favorite, especially for crafters and creatives! After one of your vids I unboxed all my fabric and cut out 11" cardboard squares to wrap each piece around and provide some structure, and lined them up on a bookshelf in a rainbow. You were right, getting to see my supplies is inspiring! Also-- love the light for this space! It's so unique that I feel like it would be hard to incorporate into just any room, but the textile match with that yarn wall is so satisfying.

[@hannahcrumley3103]

This space transformation was just magic! The light totally works in there- I was wondering 😂, . I don’t think I would want a light that requires combing and such but I have to admit it’s super cute!I’m am always so surprised at how much space you create!

[@n8rlvr876]

Oh my gosh I’m in love with that light!!

[@sanihadogganahalli2719]

This is one of your best makeovers

[@repellomuggletumify]

Love the light, mostly because IT FITS IN! It's perfect for the space. It ties in the yarn and the DIY/handmade vibe. You definitely nailed it with this one.

[@VidaCalmaeOrganizada]

Amazing! Another great transformation. The open shelving was perfect for this project. She has so many cute products and materials that it was a crime not showing them. LOVED IT|

[@amyweaver7413]

I love the light fixture - fits with the crafting yarn, the Pom poms and beautiful colours in the candles. Great job AG!👍🇨🇦👍

[@maliedelgado2658]

Okay I love all of your makeovers but this one motivated me like no other!!! You are so right, why not turn those fun hobbies we love into businesses??? Do what you love and make a little money right?! I agree that it’s so important to have a designated space for creating and this little nook looks incredible!!! Amazing job!!!🙏🏽

[@vanillaskye55]

Do more craft spaces. Craft supplies are both the hardest to organize, and the most beautiful when you do organize them.

[@heatherinparis]

Wow! You really hit this one out of the park Alexandra! This is BEAUTIFUL!!

I love it all but the light but that’s because I prefer a less fussy look. I’m sure lots of people will love it

[@HeyItsBonnieBee]

I kinda hate the light but it works so damn well in this room that I love it again. Great job Alexandra!

Who remember the light from buy or diy 🙋🏼‍♀️ gosh,, I loved and miss these videos 😭

[@asaxon6930]

I store many of my art supplies in photo storage boxes with labels, about shoe box sized, on a bookshelf. I've found for my needs it's a good size. I have 20 boxes. The categories I use are: bags/boxes, clay, office, glitter, sewing, embroidery, bead & wire, watercolor, stamps, feathers & shells, chalk & dye, ribbon (x2), string, calligraphy, stationary, tape & stickers, CDs, party supplies, craft misc. I have 5 random sized boxes that hold craft paint, acrylic paint, fabric paint, goache, and glues. I'm using hinged boxes for the craft & acrylic paint which is really nice for easier access. I keep brushes in jars/canisters on the shelf (I made some of them with oatmeal canisters and marble contact paper) and I keep all my pens and other writing utensils in a rolling cart in my living room where I'm more likely to want to use them. Additionally I have 6 cardboard moving boxes I've painted and labeled. (Two of them I cut down by 1/3 height, just below the handle, they look nicer thay way and I didn't need the extra space.) Three hold all my past art, one I use for giftwrap and tissue paper, one for fabrics, and one for patterened and color paper. I use a 17"x12" box I got from the container store to keep recent art pieces I might want easy access to in. I keep white paper laid flat and stacked on the shelf, seperated by category by sturdy boards (labeled) slipped between them. Or else upright on the shelves for sketchbooks. And I have a long narrow box I made from styrofoam presentation boards and tape, in my closet, that hold wrapping paper and large sheets of paper and cardboard.

[@leahr.2620]

I like the green paint and the light fixture really goes with the yard. So nice to see a non rattan light👍😉

[@susankilpatrick2918]

Alexandra - the room looks fantastic - great transformation!

[@susannaknobloch4601]

Very nice! I like that the light picks up the yarn theme from the open shelf. And if there is a problem with dust, she could store the yarn in clear bins.

[@laughinlori6893]

I love the light. Works for the vibe of the space. Beautiful job. Inspires me to get out my old macrame stuff from the 70s and start knotting.

[@shalinisen]

Absolutely gorgeous and so functional. Love love love the light here... It's so pretty and appropriate to what she does. That gold stool is a must-have now. And there is space for everything. Love it. Simple, elegant, feminine, functional. Alexandra - girl, you killed it with this one. And yes, the pompoms are back but handled beautifully 😉

[@nataliesaxon3175]

We all need a Xico in our lives. I'm soon to do my 1st house move since being a wheelchair user, with 4 kids and 3 dogs... scary and exciting at the same time 💖

[@nancymac2445]

I love the green that you chose for the walls - it's so beautiful and also very calming. I'd like to know Alison's feelings about the light fixture because if she's not crazy about it, she can send it to me! LOL! I really, really like that light! Another beautiful makeover, Alexandra! I enjoy your videos very much!

[@dirod38]

Sooo good Alexandra! great decision the open storage, the wool wall looks like art. Also Xico is a pretty awesome builder, always knocks it out of the park.

[@jmlane5156]

Love the space - gorgeous and inspiring! The island is such a great idea for peeps who like to stand and/or sit while working. And the light works beautifully with art she creates - the perfect choice!

[@brendabignall9926]

Hey lovely Lady!🙋‍♀️ As an art piece I love the ceiling light. It adds height to the room. As a ceiling light, it wouldn't be enough light for me. But it's not my room. You did a great job of making her space pretty and functional. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Way to go!!! 💗🎨🖌️🏺🔮🖼️
