*EPIC* DIY STORAGE ROOM TURNED LIBRARY MAKEOVER

[@geminiproject062]

That moment when Alexandra started getting roasted by the other two when she was explaining how curtains work was so sweet and funny

[@latoyalewis]

Hahaha yes! They’re like “you don’t say!” ❤️😂😂

[@aviajarehema7393]

The orange paint, bookshelves, and the light are my favs of this makeover.

[@paulajf4205]

Overall, it's a cool little space. I know you have the stylish sconce lighting, but since it's a reading nook, how a bout either a tall lamp next to or behind the chair or a wall lamp next to the chair? Just a thought.

[@kcanded]

That's what I was thinking. The boob light will be blocked by the bookshelves. I would go for a floor lamp behind the chair for better light.

[@miss_xenia_]

You know when someone actually reads books vs just decorates with books 😋

[@apurvagautam3605]

exactly

[@splifsis25]

U always find a way to add Pink in every decor. I hate pink but I love ur ideas I just talor everything you do pink to blue n it works.

[@lindakovacs7904]

Looks like a front page for an interior design book. Just really great. !

[@jennamaree4502]

I would have put an L-table over the chair so that they could also use that space to work (as she requested). The small table was cute, but didn’t really serve the purpose she needed. Other than that, very nice!

[@annac9534]

That’s what I was thinking! Also, it doesn’t really seem “cozy” to me.

[@xristinak.1567]

and also something comfy for the legs

[@madheremadthere4616]

I agree. I like Alexandra's style but i find functionality sometimes gets behind.

[@gondolin12]

I guess budget has major effect. If she had small budget those t shape tables and a leg rest ottoman would rank up overall price

[@Kath-Erina]

@@gondolin12 nope, Ikea has a really inexpensive table that you can pull/slide over the side of the chair and set up a laptop and work on it. It's stylish and could have easyly replaced the side table he used but with more functionality. www.ikea.com/de/de/p/vittsjoe-laptopgestell-schwarzbraun-glas-00250249/

[@Annodx3]

I love it!! I wish there was an over the couch desk so they could put their laptop on top of something when working and when they aren't they can slide it beside the chair. love the shelves!

[@wentale]

Even a retro lap table would work, ditch the side table.

[@RocketChild]

It's a beautiful space. However, I think maybe you should've put a desk as opposed to a coffee table. Because the client did say she wants to work in that space.

[@thinkingbout]

Yeah I think so too, there are even PC-Desks at Ikea in the size of an sidetable, that maybe would have worked here, so that it is still useable as a sidetable when you don't have to work in the room😊

[@shaishannahbennett8055]

@@thinkingbout Yep, exactly what i thought. Ikea have laptop tables that probably cost the same or less than that coffee side table. I love how the space looks, but missing the main function the client asked for...

[@LindsayNRandi]

Yeah, I was surprised she didn't go with one of those tuck-in laptop tables that can double as a side table instead. Either way it's super cute!

[@victorytarotdivini]

that artwork on that apricot door!! Looved it!! May your talent take you faaar and beyond any door! 🌼🎉

[@suzy1676]

You outdid yourselves Team AG!! The flow and tone is spot on!!

[@KimSincox]

Enjoy watching these videos. Alexandra is so cute. Color coded book organization makes me shake my head. Organize by topic, author, etc. But color? Cute for toddlers, but adults? Of course, they don't have that many books, so this may work for them. It's certainly a huge improvement and a real morale booster!

[@mowattlavern62]

Beautiful yet simple design. Love it

[@MetaTransitions]

Such a beautiful make over. Simply beautiful ❤️

[@claudiaramirez1018]

So pretty! I love the look of that big plant with that orange color 💗. Those little ones you hung are so cool too. Next time make sure the clippings have a little notch where the root can grow from ;).

[@lisajanes2989]

As always, your makeovers are amazing. I think I watched most all of your videos before I tackled my own shabby chic bedroom makeover. I am a huge fan of pink as well. Today I saw a bathroom makeover by a young man who copied your black paint with the magic eraser technique. He said that he was inspired by a room you did and he used your name as well. I was so excited because I thought "hey, that is my decorator ". Way to go girl; you are inspiring many.

[@lem9999]

Drew (lonefox) is also very, very talented, you should check out his other videos as well!

[@olbird7647]

@@lem9999 i'd say more talented as he tends to combine functionality and aesthetic better imo 👍

[@deborahneilson9447]

I would suggest a Murphy bed type desk on the wall where the colour blocking is and rearranging the colour clocking and artwork to suit.

[@IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS]

Great... there needs to be a reading light near the chair. Wall sconce? Even a small shelf to hold a lovely wood warm light solar light (leave behind the curtain during the day to charge) would be great and require no rewiring. An end table whose base slides under the chair to be used as a lap table too would have been nice double duty.

[@lucieudem]

I would have put a wall to wall bookshelves on the other wall instead for more books lol (it's my personal life goal to have a bookshelves with a ladder one day lol) and the possibility of having a desk when needed

[@katiebeantown7355]

Awesome job. I really love this room. You have such a good eye

[@michellealjunaidi8471]

Great use of space. Made the area a functioning part of the home. Was thinking you could have added a light window tent on the sliding glass doors. It would reduce the UV light and the amount of heat coming into the space. Easy to purchase at a local home improvement store.

[@mommygarcia9137]

Omg ! That Adobe color block wall is so creative & beautiful !! Love the room !!

[@jeannecharlson9678]

I absolutely love how your personality comes out and you can laugh at yourself when something doesn’t work exactly as planned. It makes you seem just the same as some of us that are not as handy-it shows us we can still try, and then laugh at ourselves and enjoy new experiences instead of moping because we goofed up. I absolutely loved how this room turned out!🧡

[@debbierosa9572]

Wow! I feel like every video you get better and better at what you do! Amazing!

[@marlenecampbell6446]

I love the fact that they love the design.

[@cecilycarriau2676]

Hi Alexandra, I whatch your videos from France. I love this one. It's so simple and so effective, such a good idee with the shelves. Thank you for your good vibes during this difficulte time. Bisous from France.

[@rabanitoqueen]

I liked everything except for the shape on the wall. Even the colour was beautiful but there's something about the "door shape" that was off and felt lonely and empty for some reason. Loooved the arm chair and the pillow and blanket 😍😍😍

[@WhisperTraining]

WOW! This has to be one of my all time favorite's of Alexandra's videos for making over a tiny space. The color blocking with the artwork was genius! And those bookshelves look fantastic!

[@Ashlee1985]

I actually love that color you chose. Gave it a fun vibe to the room!

[@yyyannuuu]

Long time subscriber, never really commented before but this one was what it took to motivate me to try some new painting and lighting ideas. Thanks Alexandra. 💕

[@gm2mx]

I am so glad you got to do a "real" room makeover. I look forward to your videos. I even purchased white paint to redo my living room/dinning room. It has been the same color for 7 years. I have looked at these walls for 3 months and I knew I needed a change. I so wish you lived close and could give me a hand. Happy summer.

[@BeautifullyBookish95]

This was so good. I love rewatching it. I hope you get a chance to do dark academia/whimsical library/study!

[@deborahbaker1256]

That orange colour looks great, good contrast!

[@joanneanderson6644]

I LOVE IT. How do you feel about maybe an alternative w the bookshelf wall: could be narrow desk/shelf w/bookshelves above to utilize space most efficiently? Not sure if they have a desk elsewhere in apartment. In any case, keep doing what you do, AG, great job.

[@erikas974]

Alexandra that looks absolutely fantastic. You are truly talented. Loved everything in it and the color you have chosen is just perfect.

[@orelyt]

Hahaha I giggled when your team teases you about the curtains. I love it it's so fun

[@jeanettego7578]

I love this makeover. The Ikea shelves and plant holders are so cool. I also love the chair. You did a great job with the space!

[@myrnamorales4558]

The space looks really good, but I would hang the picture in the middle of the painted arch and add a tray table that can be fold, so you can use as a table for a laptop or anything else 🌸

[@MoDro281]

The string technique for the semi-circle was genius

[@stacylamb5607]

Perfect. The way you style is up my alley. So sweet that you propagated from your plants

[@danielaranieri4294]

I love your videos. I live downtown Toronto and would love to see a video on how to make a condo or space with not a lot of natural light work.

[@brisk9611]

So cute and bright Alexandra! For the color block, it probably didn’t sit with you bc the curve and the vertical line are suppose to meet at a tangent for a smooth transition. Otherwise it creates a vertex. But it looked much better once you put the artwork over it!

[@MyWaywardLife]

Watched this when it was uploaded, but had to come back to comment 😁. I loved those Ikea shelves so much I went to the website to order while I was watching the video!! But they were sold out! Also came back because I wanted to check the source for the wall planters! Love it!

[@vicg2938]

This was a beautiful transformation.

[@zillamandy]

Such a fun video. And I love the way those bookshelves look. 💙

[@irisvasquez5697]

Just bought the glass planters for my mom's b-day! Thanks Alexandria :)

[@EmmaLeeHD]

Such a great use of space! Also love how you are showing us that you're staying safe and maintaining distance during the makeover

[@christicostigan]

Nice job transforming space from walk through to a destination.

[@mary-annelahey5168]

Great colour!

[@blessedsuccess2022]

It all looks wonderful as is! Well done!

[@manjitkaur7623]

What an amazing transformation! Wish you had some light source beside the reading nook area to read at night and it would’ve been a dream!!!!! Love it ❤️

[@asherduff8627]

Of course PINK...always with the pink...

[@moksha-life-spiraltoparamd9013]

What's missing is a swivel table.. .. which can be against the accent wall but move towards the sofa when required.. and a battery operated light amongst the plant holders..

[@cquinn03]

This is so inspiring! I really like the arched wall paint and how the picture hangs over it. Pure art. Thanks!

[@altheawood6656]

So cozy. Great little space.

[@dianaflegal4495]

What a beautiful transformation

[@madeleinesvensson-m3y]

I think it is very nice! But I missing somewhere to work though. A fold down desk instead of the armchair I think would be a better use of the space. But of course, potato potáto. After watching your video where you talked about colorcordinating your books I did that and now my shelves look 100% better, thank you for that! Love your channels!

[@Zabigdog]

Girl, you are so good at what you do. Like this so much. And I love how y'all work together. Wish I could've seen the lights turned on. So pretty.

[@pamelaatkinson5710]

Looks great! Love the picture off center of the arch.

[@terrioakley2250]

Love love love it ! You made that orangey colour work with the art ! You have such style !!

[@zoelee8471]

Such a beautiful and functional space!

[@denises9426]

Omg when Marsha Brady popped up and said “Sure Jan” I laughed my butt off! Thanks for another amazing transformation Alexandra! Love it!!

[@sarvsfalefitu5832]

This is freaking amazing 😉 great job!! Love love the lights - great style 👍🏽👍🏽

[@annaanna6411]

love the wall artwork combo. but I don't see how they could be working in there without some sort of desk.

[@ButyoucancallmeKat]

I am loving the youtuber love going on! Lone Fox gave a shoutout for Alexandra and now Alexandra shouting out Sorry Girls! I love the decorating side of the internet.

[@amyweaver7413]

Beautiful job Alexandra!

[@Lady-BriChanel]

One of my favorite makeovers Alexandra! I think the color with their art was perfect. Adobe 🙃

[@mallikaiyer2577]

This room is amazing- I would want to sit in it ALL DAY! Good job! I have question about the curtains- would they keep out the heat well? I love how they look, and think they suit the space well. But because their translucent, I just wondered whether it would help cool the room down.

[@kateheaton4586]

Beautiful space. well done..and also thanks Alexandra..I've been looking for those wee glass wall planters and have now ordered them thanks to you..you are my inspiration as always xxx

[@AyeshaNoelle]

Love the bookshelves and how you color coordinated them 😍

[@laurahatfield1861]

So proud of you for doing your job in such a safe and caring manner: thank you for setting the good example!

[@kimmhclouthier2594]

What a beautiful outcome, now it's functional.

[@ljulio06]

another time when bike storage is an issue, would love to see how you would integrate that into a space! they have interesting and semi-stylish wall mounts for bikes, and when i live in an apartment that isn't a 4th floor walkup, that's something i'd like to use/style around!

[@lindabradbeer9567]

Love this space so much! Those shelves are perfection!!

[@mckeenjp]

This is so beautiful. Those bookshelves are so modern and beautiful. Love love!!

[@mercedesfaberlle6918]

What a great inspiration for a difficult space, looks beautiful, I love it 🥰 The book shelves looks really great and the plant wall is a simple and great idea 💡 🤗

[@MollyMachete]

Amazing work as always🙏🏼 I love the color blocking !

[@usha9807]

I love that chair...

[@luisasanchez2204]

I really love the magic door painted on the wall :)

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

Wow! for such a small space it looks amazing, I love the bookshelves they fit the space perfectly. And that accent wall works so well with the artwork. Maybe possibly if there is some sort of table that could be used as a small desk so she could work from that room like she did mention she wanted to be able to do. All in all I think it turned out amazing and I love these kinds of videos, so I am really looking forward to the next video. Take care, sending love and hugs, bye for now.

[@lyndareith1206]

Soooo cute. Lots in a small deadening but not crowded. Such a clever girl.

[@dalcloud8873]

Her style is so cute, clever and creative for sure! What did you mean by deadening????

[@lyndareith1206]

Have no idea why that word came up. Meant to say lots in a small area.. Sorry for the oops.

[@becaboo-dv8dp]

Duuuuude this makeover is so good!!!! ❤️ Also when you were struggling with the hammer while hanging up the plant holders, that was totally me 😂 All the space needs is a little pouf/foot stool and a cuddly kitty to sit on your lap as you read 😍

[@shalinisharma6417]

Ya that's what I was thinking,, a pouf to put your feet up while reading

[@lindajasmin4914]

Such a good use of space! I’ve held om to my scetches of so many color blocking ideas for my house. So far I’ve done one around my entrance mirror. Now I have to do the rest, thanks for always inspiring!

[@donnahutchinson5392]

Awe.... you got your sparkle back. I'm so happy for you and the Gater Crew Do. You are so talented with your ideas. But nothing brings me more joy than to watch your brain work when your actually doing the work with your own hands. You get a sparkle that starts in your eye then moves to the rest of your face. When things start to come together.

[@chickletpudding]

Love the book shelves - great makeover

Pretty transformation, still on the fence with the colorblock color. I think there needs to be a light by the chair and a tiny table for a drink.

I love this room (espacially the shelfs and the rug) and I wish I had a tiny space like that :) I just recently discovered your channel and I loved it on the spot because you are so refreshing and candid and pleasant and you love Ikea as much as I do LOL Thank you for giving me so much joy and fun and ideas to create my house. In every home video of yours there is something pleasing me beyond the everage and I can't wait to watch the new one. Thanks again and greetings from Germany
