can we please just take a moment to appreciate the expertise of the editing? Well done, love your humor

Graham is a great addition to the AG team. The voice of construction reason 😂

[@miss_xenia_]

Maybe get signature AG jumpsuits for all messy/painting jobs - like Tasha Leelyn 🙌 surely I’m not the only one holding my breath when watching DIYers in fancy outfits 😅 love from Aotearoa

[@bevegriffith9858]

Absolutely

[@priscalynne8804]

Pink!

[@maryiorio426]

I personally cannot believe this paint accident never happened before! Watching Alexandra paint in her pretty dresses and sweaters always makes me hold my breath!

[@carolinavillar6252]

From where??

[@erindixon2877]

How about a denim fabric apron? I use on in my kitchen all the time. Wouldn’t offer complete protection but might be easier to wear when it’s warm.

It’s all James! He’s brilliant 🥰

Lol your video Editor had so much fun editing this one, especially the lololol

[@theodosia7791]

It was funny to me coz it reminded me of a celebrity doctor who had a video scandal singing and dancing to this song flirting with an actress and it ended his career because his then GF, now his wife, blew it real bad for him..to think that I had told my partner many times that Alexandra looks like the grown up version oh the celebrity doctor's cutie daughter.🙅🙊

[@anessapennington1825]

So chic! I know the wallpaper was a pain, but it’s definitely the standout piece in this makeover. 🌸🌻🌷

[@wilsonfamily322]

This was my favorite makeover you’ve done in quite a while. I love everything you do but this one is over the top! The wallpaper and the flooring are amazing. The dramatic change in the before and after really showcased your talents. Her productivity and customer service are going to increase for sure. Great job!

[@ribbleslipscomb5171]

That's a space Shannon can bring clients to and feel proud to do so. Transformation accomplished!

[@amyweaver7413]

I love that you are helping small businesses - how you present to your clients is so important.

[@lindalehr1551]

I really like how this turned out. I think it really captures her business and fits in with the shop as well as being practical for her. As a customer I really like walking into this office.

[@prinsass]

If you still have those shorts, an idea is to maybe use a cute embroidery patch to go over the paint.

[@27Spiritgirl]

GORGEOUS! Just a thought though - if your client uses the woodstove in winter she may want to extend her tile "mat" around the stove since the heat will melt the peel and stick flooring ( it will also prevent sparks from landing on the floors when she opens it to feed the flames ). Love your work as always! xoxo

[@aviajarehema7393]

In addition: the black metal/plastic type shelving the Euclid Farms office first had before the makeover; if it didn't end up being used for anything else, as a suggestion--if it were used for the outside patio where she had a lot of refuse and extra items; maybe it could've been used to store some of those items in that area to clear, clean, and organize that space. IMO!

[@darylvondunker327]

I honestly never thought to put flower wallpaper in a Florist office - BRILLIANT! She sees the cabinet and organized space and her customers see the flowers and a happy event. It works on so many levels, it’s kinda mind-blowing. Alexandra and TEAM You guys really impress me so many times and this is one of them.

[@smriti.pandey]

MY GOSH are you talented or what!! You literally make any style work and work phenomenally. Seriously - kudos to you! Oh and Graham is 🔥🔥! He is sooo good at building stuff. You’re awesome and have an awesome team!

[@abby742]

Does anyone else giggle at the ridiculously funny editing?

[@itscarolinemary]

Love the floral wallpaper, gold accents, the sage-y green accents and those roman blinds! It's still so light and airy in there! Amazing job AG team! Her shop is so cool, such a perfect fit for your channel!

[@maggierobertson2962]

The trick with paper is to hang it with the white strips then cut with a super sharp razor blade to create a single seam, you can then remove the white strips and they line up perfectly. That how pros do it. It's really an art.

[@debloui]

That wallpaper is the best because it doesn’t matter if the cuts are straight, the overlap means it’s an exact match when you cut it and peel off the excess from each piece. Give it a try next time! Panelling looks great, but the wallpaper alone would have been stunning.

[@glucosina]

Omg! Is he the same graham from recent videos? He looks so different

[@heyosj9705]

right??? I still can't tell. I did some stalking of graham's instagram and in his posts from 2017, he still looks the same as the recent videos. Maybe this is a different person?

[@michianamom6343]

Dang, that is gorgeous! And yes, I need a green velvet office chair. Hope there is an American link in the description box.

[@leilakadribasic]

Loved this. Loved that it was full of diys and that you repurposed her furniture pieces. I hate when the makeover is just full of gifted sponsored furniture pieces. Just perfection 🥰 💞 👌

[@MoDro281]

I love the way you say projects, like “PRO-jects”. We’re all capable of being a pro, in our own way. Slay on, sis.

[@missheniki]

A lot of Canadians say it that way. I think it’s the British pronunciation. Some Canadians say it like the USians do - caught between two dominant cultures! 😂

[@holdenbabyboy]

The reveal made me say aaaaaaahhhhh. Like a breath of fresh air. Even in the dark days of winter it will feel like Spring/Summer in that office.

[@alannaaaa]

Love how the space turned out! Also, James' editing is amazing, cracks me up 5x per video LOL.

[@hadeev]

I love how you always sneak some shade of soft pink into your makeovers. It's been my go to color for the past 27 years, wherever I've lived, and something hot pink has always part of my wardrobe and artwork for about 15 years. Pink gives me life! You never overlook an inch of whatever space you make over. Every item you use, is with purpose and intention. This is a great office makeover! I love the arrows on the floors, to the dark light switch cover complimenting the floral wallpaper.

[@Allieh]

The floor plus wallpaper plus wood stove gives me old grandma kitchen vibes in the BEST way! ❤️ Love this!! That green paint is beautiful!

[@danielleboon1543]

When you install flooring like that, you should snap some chalk lines to get things properly square. Never trust walls. Walls aren’t square, they’re never as square as they look. It’s just like how you used a laser line for your wallpaper and started in the middle, rather than using the corner or ceiling and assuming they’re level/plumb.

[@akwillhoft]

I actually thought my KZbin had skipped to the end of the video when the credits music/screen came on 🤣🤣🤣 love a good AG video - you guys killed it again 😊

[@dtulip1]

LOL Carla's editing is ON FIRE this episode

[@jemma50]

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure James is the editor and Carla is the videographer. She's behind the camera. ;)

[@Britbabe53]

[@datkesecharles8815]

Oooo Alexandra, what a spectacular job you and your team did on this makeover! 😍❤️ Everything from the wallpaper to the garbage can is just perfect. 🙌🏾 #officeglowup

[@aviajarehema7393]

This makeover was boss! (Even though in the pandemic). Highlights IMO: Cabinet, Green paint, Knobs, Desk chair, Dining/client chairs, Garbage can, Light switch plates. Also, though not part of the makeover, the credenza type cabinetry on the wallpapered wall with the gold hardware/accents are a nice lead-in to the makeover. As part of the makeover, the crown/strip molding painted white and placed over the wallpaper was a perfect compliment to the white credenze type cabinetry on the space. Kudos! 👌👍👏👏

[@jasminegilbreath]

This makeover is amazing!!!!!! I thought I had watched all your videos and then I discovered this one that I hadn't watched! I loved this mini series you did and hope you do more of these! Or even makeover a teachers classroom or someone's art studio

Love when you pull your hair away from your face. You are pretty and have a lovely shaped face and pulling it back accentuates this.❤

[@indianedelweiss104]

Loved the makeover! But am I the only one wishing the little fireplace should have got more attention? I thought it is such a lovely feature and deserved it’s own moment.

[@RA-go5qk]

I love that you actually let us know that the wallpaper product was hard for you, an experienced design genius, to apply and you would NOT recommend it. That makes me feel even more confident in your recommendations for easy products. I’m seriously considering trying the inexpensive yet easy to apply vinyl flooring for my kitchen - making sure i get help from a friend!

[@Judy2aT]

I have to be honest. At first, I thought "I am not going to like this', but wow you did an amazing job. it looks inviting and comfortable and airy and soft...all those "make you feel good" looks. Great job GF!

[@lorimartin3724]

Idea for you. We recently painted all our wood switch plates with hammered black paint. What a difference for the cost of one can of paint. We then did same to most of our picture frames to tie it all together.

[@pw4075]

You made her office a magical space for her to work in and welcome clients into. Well done!

You are really impressive more and more and with your creative visions and your impeccable crew there is nothing that can not be accomplished. How you transitioned this to such a lovely flower is absolute genius. It is such a joy watching you all doing what you do and having fun doing so . I am totally hooked on this show. Hopefully you will get an enormous amount of new followers as well and zip past your goal of a million and you should surely surpass that. Enchanting.

[@autumnmcclain5839]

My favorite makeover ever! Walls, floors, cabinets, shades, everything is perfect! Love all the chairs! Maybe add felt pads to the bottom of the Article chairs to make the floors last longer. Amazon sells contact like sheets for windows that are opaque with designs that let light in but offer privacy. Graham is a great help! Invest in some cheap clothes to paint in.

[@rgennarelli]

It's so sad that wallpaper is hard to work with because it's so very pretty! Love this makeover!

[@marilynwoodard7961]

Great renovation! When you said you were going to put "paneling" on the floral wall I was like, "What???" But that turned out so well! Just a thought: it might have been a lot less expensive and just as good looking to put frosted window cling on those windows. Of course, you'd have needed another day! I wonder: did all of her boxes, etc. actually fit in the cabinet?

[@josinawashington6744]

Quilting rulers are my go to for 90° cuts. Give that a go. 😍 Loving the trim idea🤍

[@annt7384]

As soon as you panned down to the floor, I instantly thought of your peel-and-stick bathroom flooring.

[@lr5612]

It turned out beautiful! I love the wallpaper feature wall even if it was a pain to put up. As a brit I'm on your side with how to pronounce 'fortune' although I'll never understand why North Americans pronounce 'Graham' as 'gram' 🤣

[@jgricius8657]

I came to the comments for this topic. I definitely say For-choon not for-chin. I grew up near Rochester, NY (I think we get a tiny bit of Canada dialect that wanders south). And yes I said fortune cookie to myself a few times on my couch.

[@jaymac-uu8vt]

Or Cregg for Craig????

[@lr5612]

Exactly!!

[@Orlagh]

Haha completely agree, 'Gram' always makes me laugh

[@tracygarrett3952]

So good. I would remove the ladder and switch the black chairs to something less dining room looking, and more plush/comfortable. I think it would send a message that you care about the customer. Overall A+.

[@BruceNotAmused]

The best way to cut wallpaper is to fold it back on itself and match the sides. Make sure the fold is sharp, and then just use a box cutter in the fold. Voila straight clear cuts. Been doing this for all wallpaper projects I have done, more than 10 at least

[@lia246]

This is beautiful!!! It really shows when the business you're taking over is inspiring to you... Same creative energy :)

[@donnabraden3126]

Such an amazing job really good! I guess the owner could put frosted peel and stick contact paper for windows on the lower part of her windows if she needs more privacy and yet wants to keep the light coming in.

[@selenagardiner3038]

Floral wall looks so much better with the panels. Also you can use white toothpaste to cover small holes.

[@dtulip1]

OHHH you cold come to England (fit in a family visit :D ) My brother and sister in law have an office..that literally fells like a prison cell! no one wants to go in it let alone work....my sister in law is a teacher who's worked flat out all pandemic..actually even harder during lockdowns as she has to answer all the questions individually and my brother has mental health issues and has found lockdown difficult which means his business has slipped a bit, they both have back problems so a dedicated work space would really really help them

[@lia246]

Also, I really appreciate the elaborated information about how to get the job done right 🙏💕

[@idancealways4ever440]

I would rather you had frosted the windows because it would allow more light with out the client having to deal with the shades, she doesn’t have time to open & close those every day, frosting the windows provides the coverage without sacrificing the light.

[@PHcute]

Such a pretty shop. Wish we had something like this in London!

Beautiful and work friendly, very pretty. And that Ikea wardrobe is so lovely too.

[@tinabak2372]

Paint on your fave clothes is the worst! I do have a couple suggestions to salvage those cute shorts though depending on what you’re willing to do either cover the stain up with a button/patch/ribbon/a fabric painted design or you can try to colour match the shorts and paint over the stain with the colour of the shorts - I did this once with a huge brown acrylic paint stain on my blue letterman - mixed a matching blue and painted it over and honestly I wouldn’t be able to tell you what side the stain used to be on it worked so well! Love the suggestion of AG jumpsuits to paint in though! I would definitely get one to prevent my own paint stains on fave clothing items.

[@nichelebrownlee1471]

[@PinkShips-h9r]

Cold water to get out the paint before it dries, use a toothbrush. You'll have a wet spot, but it will get the paint out. I'm a painter (on canvas), but I get paint all over me all the time, even though I wear an apron.

[@emilys9782]

If love to see the green of the cabinet repeated somewhere.... maybe the wall moulding?

Try blotting the paint spot on the shorts with acetone nail polish remover before washing. Source - husband loves modelmaking & often gets paint and superglue on his favourite clothes.

Your makeovers are so beautiful! It would be a dream to have you make over my home office (even if virtual). I'm in my home office over 12 hours each day, helping our elderly population (both veterans and civilians) remain safe at home. I'm located in Florida, would be so over the moon to have a beautiful space designed by you.
