Emotional *SURPRISE* Makeover for Hardworking Mom | Office Makeover

[@BillieDonohoe]

When their mom thought they didn’t get to keep the furniture 😭😭😂

[@srisarts]

She was so genuinely surprised it wasn't just staged for the video 😂

[@BillieDonohoe]

@@srisarts your mum is a gem and needs to be protected at all costs also your dad is super cute too x

[@carlyh6913]

[@shayladenise2303]

I love how Alexandra is branching out, trying new things, and going outside of her comfort zone. It is very much appreciated!

[@source5729]

She looked pretty comfortable to me. She looked ‘in the zone.’

[@khadijaelabid7283]

Agreed!! What a wonderful result!

[@tempest9172]

Agree! She's done a great job on this one

[@user-bj1tm6ui4d]

Yes! Finally a different style from Alexandra! She could have pushed the colors even more, but she kept it classic and clean which is in her wheelhouse. More like this please!

[@fabienneroure9995]

I absolutely love this makeover it's so amazing!❤

[@denises9426]

I loved the father’s reaction to the fold-down table...”That’s out-of-the box thinking!”. What a wonderful makeover, so beautiful both the space and the family! 😍🥰

[@lauraburgess1534]

I know, he couldn't stop playing with it 😃

[@ellenmason3833]

I noticed that too. Love him. Both parents were beyond adorable. When the mom said, “we get to keep all this ?” I thought well now I love her too 💜

[@yalazha]

The family's response was so heartwarming! "Out of the box thinking. So we get to keep all this?" It was a great refresh and something they can add their own personal touch to as well.

[@avlopez9239]

“A lot of people are going to enjoy this space.” I loved when her daughter said that ☺️ The fact that this makeover will be shared with others in their community made it that much more special!

[@srisarts]

I think it's the most special part, it's really a home away from home for all of us 💜

[@christinahaftmann8837]

Alexandra, you really honored the Indian tradition with it's rich colors, natural textures and spiritual depth! I'm very impressed! 💃🙏💃

[@Violet.18]

Well said. Totally agree!!!

[@turtlefish]

I love that one of the first things the mom thought of was the students and their parents and how she can't wait to see their reactions. This was incredibly sweet and powerful, she was so deserving of this and more!

[@srisarts]

She is the most deserving! She always puts her kids first :)

[@vasilikixyfteri-askthecraz8153]

I ve seen all your makeovers. It is by far... I am crying and I know I probably won't see these people. The fact that a hard working woman has been giving love for 15 years and this time she received some back is a work to be proud of. Thanks for sharing.

[@naromiesbeninche6975]

I like the fact that the girls surprised their mom and ended up being surprised as well😂😂😂. I love it ... I am happy for them 😊

[@WeGetHighWeLetGo]

The hand painted piece of art hung in the seating area is so beautiful!! So much talent!! :)

[@srisarts]

Thank you! Find me on instagram @srisarts :)

[@MelDidItHerself]

Two moments in this video my jaw dropped and I said “WOW” out loud: seeing the difference with the studio painted white, and then that homemade painting! Stunning!

[@srisarts]

You are so sweet, thank you so much 😊

[@FurnitureFan]

The artwork was amazing and looks brilliant on the accent wall.

[@ratulamorie5255]

It was a mistake to watch this at work because I'm on the verge of dissolving into a massive puddle of tears. What a wonderful thing you did for this family. The studio looks so great.

[@amittal14]

Alexandra using other colours then pink and green?? But seriously this is beautiful and different. Love it!

[@source5729]

She used the colors that fit the CLIENT. She always does

[@biharisauce6173]

She kept the ethnicity of the room despite few much needed modern updates

[@MsLaBajo]

I agree, I’m used to perhaps cooler pastels and soft earth tones from her but this is not a shift so much as branching out whilst still holding onto her color lexicon which we know she does so wonderfully. She thought about the client in a way not even the client probably ever did! I’m seriously so giddy. She did an amazing job. More of this content!

[@dyutibasu4541]

The waiting room is really nice but I'm so glad that the wall of fame got a revamp. That was giving my inner neatness freak some serious issues. Also it's nice to see Alexandra branch out and use jewel tones and darker, bolder colours.

[@sabinebrand]

I love that you stayed within their style, it turned out beautifully.

[@listenindya]

Omg...I am an Indian and was once upon a time a Bharatnatyam student. I can totally understand the emotion the family went through. And Alexandra...you did an amazing job. The place turned out awesome. You might have not even realized but you've really brought out the Indian vibe to the place while still being modern. Love love love this!❤😍

[@MsLaBajo]

Oh, trust me, she knows! 😉🧡💙

[@sundancita]

That brought tears. You really made a difference in their lives!!!

[@paloma2364]

I think a lot of the thumbs downs on really nice things are bots designed to create conflict.

[@kaybouie1972]

You KNOW you did a Great job if the person who has owned the space for 15 years ask if "it's the same room?"🥰😄😄

[@saricamay9535]

Omg!!! I’ve known this family for years, Sri and I have been good friends for so long! Although I haven’t taken bharatnatyam classes, I’ve been in that studio so many times over the years. They are so deserving of the makeover, so excited to see it in real life one day. You did such an amazing job!!! 😍

[@srisarts]

Sarica you're the best :) you're an honorary member of the Sanskriti family!!

[@TanyaEJ]

"Out of the box thinking," is like, the best compliment EVER!! 🤩🤩 This was beautifully done!!

[@alysonlofgren3328]

"Do we get to keep all this?" I totally cried. Such a sweet woman.

[@kirtichaturvedi6939]

When I heard 'Bharatanatyam dance studio', my brain could not process Team AG making over this space. But WOW you did a fantastic job. It looks even more authentic and welcoming :) TAKE A BOW TEAM AG!!!

[@delirium129]

I'm not crying, YOU are crying! 😿😻😻😻 Alexandra, you've outdone yourself, this is gorgeous! 🧡

[@nataliemoreno7263]

I'm also hoping this family recorded the reactions of their students/students' families! What a beautiful space & reaction.

[@anupamsauru]

Thanks for doing this, as an indian person this makes me feel nice. Please do more makeover of different ethnicities. I m tired of seeing interior designers doing mostly white people's house. Love your videos btw.

[@flowersafeheart]

💚

[@theeventsfactory2252]

Alexandra, I am your fan from the Philippines and I love all your makeovers. Watched all of your videos from all of your channels including those from when you were in Chatelane. This was so emotional for me because not only did I recover from Covid but our business also was shut down and seeing how you transformed this space for someone who had to close down shop because of the pandemic is inspiring. Love that you are no going for bolder, jewel tone colors. Love that you do this for small business owners who have so much on their plates but have limited resources. This gives us hope to fight daily and to never give up. Congratulations on an excellent job always.

[@cccookiemonster9987]

Alexandra, is there no end to your talent? What a great job of honouring the Indian aesthetic by using rich deep colours yet keeping the overall look contemporary and sleek. This woman clearly deserves a lift after 15 years of dedication to her dance students being put on hold because of the pandemic - and you certainly lifted her spirits. Sounds like you’ve lifted the spirits of some of your subscribers too by reminding them of their love of Indian dance.

[@tamara8050]

Omg, her reaction was so genuine that my eyes swelled up a bit. Beautifully done Alexandra!

[@paulajf4205]

This was a nice departure for Alexandra. The waiting room is 100% better- clean, minimal, but warm and inviting.

[@quadbox]

What a lovely, gracious family! The room ended up being really warm and cosy which is such a good vibe to open up and foster conversation between people.

[@sashac7002]

This is such a wonderful project, and touched me personally. I did bharat natyam classes growing up and dance enriched my life in so many ways. Thank you Alexandra, for taking a project like this on.

[@maridanez]

Thanks Alexandra for the pickmeup that I needed! I’m having a bit of a sad day and seeing your videos always cheers me right up !!

[@stacylamb5607]

I can’t believe people gave this a thumbs down. Some people don’t have a heart.

[@tinekejoldersma]

The fun fact is that KZbin can't see the difference between down or up. It just counts! Yay!

[@JMyra]

I think this is my favorite makeover of yours! I love how you didnt overdo the theme and everything you did was just the perfect amount of decor💜 There is beauty in simplicity! Amazing job💜💜💜🙌🏾🙏🏾

[@vinitamahaale7170]

When Prabha Aunty asked, Do we get to keep all of this ? 😁😁 The joy of getting a makeover, whether it’s home, office or self; is a great feeling altogether... Thank you Alexandra for branching out to all the communities...Your design style has always been one of my favourites... (*Lots of Love from India)

[@sherineill6630]

What a truly beautiful make over. Their reaction made me cry 😭. I love that she asked if they get to keep the decor at the end of the video. So sweet.

[@jennifer9084]

The waiting room was really good. You went with their colors and taste and elevated it. The white walls really brightened up the dance studio. I loved how you reframed and did the wall of fame.

[@kirstenrubberducky]

I got so choked up watching this! This is what it's all about; creating incredible spaces that benefit so many people. In this case, it's not just the owner, it's the community that they serve. How lovely!

[@MaketheMusicFasion]

“We get to keep this??” Stoppppppp she’s so sweet

[@iamwindchakra]

This family is so beautiful! I love the colors of the makeover. IT looks beautiful.

[@newtonsantos_photo963]

Alexandra ... wowww 🤩 ... exceeded my expectations (and especially theirs !!!). I can feel the balance achieved at every corner (even here from São Paulo / Brazil 🤗). Well, starting with the lobby, you managed to create a syncretism between tradition and modernity, that's it. And, the idea of ​​the hall of fame, values ​​all those photos in the Gallery ❣️ And, the white walls let the Mission of making "Art & Magic" to flow though the colorful clothes of the dancers flying on the floor ... Excellent work done with passion and sensitivity !!!!!!!! 😍 Namastê 🙏

[@okaykaash]

I have been noticing lately a lot of foreigners are loving the Indian style so much I am so proud to be an Indian❤❤❤😀😀

[@mrsmaryblond]

I loved this one Alexandra! I wish you could go there again & add a huge mirror wall to finish everything up! + the family deserves it, they seem soooo kind

[@samanthabenavidez6045]

One of my favorite make overs hands down! Their reactions brought tears to my eyes.

[@RachelReiss]

That is now a waiting room that any high-powered office would be proud to have as a first impression to visitors. Gorgeous!

[@mommygarcia9137]

Wow Alexandra ! It looks beautiful !! The family looked so happy !! Great job !!

[@jemma50]

Just beautiful, Alexandra!!! You have me in tears! ♥ The waiting room is so professional-looking, yet cozy at the same time. :) And the gallery wall in the studio - such an improvement with all the pics in the same type of frame. Love it! ♥

[@gpworx]

I couldn’t help but this when the benches were brought in: if one person sits at the very end of those benches, will they fall?

[@amara560]

I was wondering the same

[@nadiaa5468]

The mother's reaction was soo sweet

[@Tiadaghton37]

The table is great in the waiting room. I had one in my waiting room, because brothers and sisters do homework while they are waiting.

[@RaniaMich]

Crying so hard after watching this and reading the comments! The family wanting to help make their mom happier, the dad's comment about thinking out of the box for the table, the mom realising she does get to keep everything, the daughters excited for the space to be shared with their community... It's too much!!!! :)

[@samaradlayne]

The mom's little step back when she saw the studio ♥️

[@IreneMussio]

May or may not have shed a couple of tears with this one. Amazing as usual Alexandra!

[@lisaschreiber2893]

thats incredible! the waiting area looks so high end and it melts my heart to see her response to it all. amazing!!!

[@karenmcneill2602]

This, Alexandra, is B.E.A.U.T.I.F.A.L! ALL your team deserve a huge round of applause! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Gorgeous family 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

This is the first makeover that has me tear up. What a sweet family! I'm glad they love it.

[@nikhitaputta]

This video was so emotional for me. Alexandra captured Indian colors and the vibe so incredibly well. The Arangetram wall of fame is truly epic. Of course the waiting hall is super cute.

[@mordrid22]

This makeover is absolutely beautiful! And my 3.5 year old saw the mom and sisters and said "They're princesses!"

[@Snehadance-fx5sj]

Thank you for this amazing makeover, it was truly transformational! You can see in the video I was genuinely very surprised!! Thank you for making my mom's 15th year so special 😊

[@alexanderramirez8175]

THEY'RE SO CUTE AND THANKFUL 😃

[@michellesc0711]

Just hearing the mom's history with her studio deserves a thumbs up

[@kileyfitzgerald6792]

Alexandra- never change. The way you aren't made up for this "big video" prpves that this is about the family and not about you and that is what is missing from so many design shows- a sense of humbleness. You're really doing something different here and people love it. Even when you talk about your sponsors- it feels like it's from the heart. Keep it up! We all love it! I love this sweet family, too!! Congrats to them!

[@Flow-wynne]

Omg alexandra asking "do you guys like it" in that voice after people spend full minutes gushing about how they like it in almost every video...Alexandra own your talent! You are amazing. Trust that people want you for a reason and yes, they love it and are telling you that!!! Much love xx ❤

[@nicolefaith9972]

I'm not crying, you're crying. Looks wonderful Alexandra!

[@kimberleyhosmer5997]

This is one of your best makeovers ever! Love that her family surprised her with it! And the colors! So beautiful with her daughter’s artwork and all the smaller photos. Great job!

[@ghassedir]

I love this series. You’re helping local businesses not only with space makeovers, but by promoting them through your channel. You’re going outside your comfort zone in the design. Just fantastic.

[@heerashaheena3322]

I love how Indian this feels at the same time being modern and cozy and welcoming. Just a nice paint and a few throw pillows can do wonders to our space. Loved this makeover.

[@awakeningalignment]

Love how different of a business this was! And such an awesome makeover! This was such the sweetest family 😭

[@vickytimmerman1365]

Very well done! Great colors! I don’t think I could sit on the benches too long..I would have to arrive early to get that comfy chair

[@FurnitureFan]

I guess with more time it could have a padded cushion top? Incredible how much was done in a day for this brilliant makeover. It's so lovely that so many in the group get to enjoy the new space.

[@emmanuellerose7450]

Crying at the reveal because you just know how grateful they are and how selfless she is as a business woman and a mother that this would’ve completely made her day or even her year. Such a beautiful job for a unique space.

[@akhilatalanjeri6503]

Alexandra talking about Bharatnatyam? Yay!!!!!!

[@amritamishra7131]

I think I may be biased as an Indian but this is my favourite 'make my space work' makeover from team AG. They seem like such warm people and you made them so happy. Great job balancing out the rich tones and patterns. Oh and that was some stunning art work by Sri. Is she a professional?

[@srisarts]

Thank you so much :) No not at all! Just a part time creative, who does an occasional commissioned painting. Find me @srisarts :)

[@BalanceChen87]

You painted the cane screen (in the waiting room) in a lighter shade of that burgundy! Very nice attention to detail that is not mentioned in the video. You certainly put much more effort into makeovers than what's recorded and presented here and that's truly appreciated.

[@trishpipkins]

I think you did a great job of updating the space and showcasing what's important to this family. The painting in the waiting room is unbelievable and you've given it such a wonderful home. I was hoping you would improve upon the gallery wall in the dance studio and boy did you! Great job!!

[@pamelafox7677]

Wonderful! They were so grateful.

[@oldcollegecoed]

[@saikulkarni9359]

As an Indian, and as someone who learned Indian classical dance form, I am just in awe of how beautiful this is. Especially for someone who does not have the inherent basic knowledge of Bharatnatyam and is not of Indian origin, I absolutely LOVE how you brought out the exact necessities to showcase the dance form. Absolutely beautiful. Amazing...

[@Ramyaa1990]

Just saw this makeover. Alexandra you have done a fabulous job! Was amazed seeing the transformation of the waiting room.

[@rachell783]

This family had the BEST reaction! And I really really love that they dressed up for the reveal 🥺❤️☀️

[@Premchik]

That's a great makeover! I got frightened at first when you painted everything white because this colour is not so festive in India, to say the least. But I see that it turned out just fine.))

[@zigryignacio4343]

Love the new colors, the picture gallery and the added art and new photos. I would have preferred to have the sofas reupholstered and then add a bench. I think it would be more comfortable for waiting parents to sit on the sofas.

[@psi_lucid]

I’m moved to tears by the impact this makeover had on Prabha’s family. Such a sweet family and a mom that totally deserves this update to her workspace. Alexandra, keep doing the amazing work you do!
