So relaxing and calming! Great work you two!!

[@kimjaneyeon3645]

Hey Becky and Kelsey why don't you do a video on diy pendant lampshades Actually I am going to do a room makeover video but I am out of budget to buy new lampshades for my pendant lights

[@mj5697]

The headboard looks like a rising sun and considering Tasha’s vintage business is called Soleil, that’s very fitting 😍

[@sandieedward8214]

Could use some smaller circles above and beside the first one using the other colors.. just saying it's another opportunity to allow everything to shine including her dogs that way

[@labradorite8256]

Did anyone notice her favourite shade was the same colour as her blouse?

[@a_tots]

You should actually do this with one of your fans, that would be so epic!!!!

[@dayah4105]

She already does this with her subscribers

[@a_tots]

Dayah AuNaturale Not really, she gives subscribers design suggestions, but not the actual free furniture and material for a makeover

[@dayah4105]

@@a_tots nothing is free. Even on makeover TV shows, most pay something. Her labor and work should not be free and neither should yours

[@a_tots]

Dayah AuNaturale I never said her work should be free and I am not trying to be rude here. But Alexandra did quite clearly state that this was a free makeover for a youtuber, and also listed the products that were gifted. Of course there is a lot of work behind it on both ends, I understand that, however I am only suggesting that it would be awesome if a fan got one of these complete makeovers, because that would mean so much more as an act itself and I feel that could be a great marketing tool as well.

[@lezzleee]

@@a_tots It's much easier to do it with other youtubers because you can trust them to have equipment and film well. They already know most of the filming needs. Also they can collab again later on future videos. It's more networking. It would be nice, but honestly for marketing and networking, other youtubers makes sense

[@sarahturner7156]

Alexandra is such a lovely, genuine person. She's the kind of girl you'd love to be your bff. Watched every one of her videos and there's no drama, no fake over-the-top personality, no fakery. She's just a really chill girl who's kind and always true to herself. 10/10 would totally drink wine with.

[@annedenton4623]

TRUE

[@Me-wk3ix]

Agree! She's the type of person that would be really fun to hang out with!

[@junerobbins6871]

You're sobright. She and hercteam are real

[@kokeshidoll5863]

It's so nice to see the use of warm colors in this period when everyone seems to be obsessed with gray and white. Love the room, but like others, would like to see the headboard a bit higher. This was fun to see how it all came together.

[@jenniferm5356]

Hello Kokeshi Doll, I noticed your user name. I study kokeshi. Why did you choose this name?

[@jeannawalton8107]

Ditto! The painted wall behind the headboard needs to be as wide as the headboard and taller! Otherwise, it's a pretty space :)

[@barneyfife3288]

I agree about the warmer colors! I agree on painting the circle higher

[@kokeshidoll5863]

I lived in Japan for a while and have a kokeshi collection. @@jenniferm5356

[@raquellambropoulos279]

Absolutely hate the grey white pink look over it. Unfortunately my living room is GREY...but I'm adding navy and yellow to it. Totally different now the grey almost disappeared into the mix

[@RobynCoburn]

I’m most impressed with your ingenuity in finding a way to keep providing your service and bringing new content during lockdown.

[@NatJediMASTER]

Personally would have painted the circle higher or larger. I do like that she didn’t tape it off to give it a more natural edge

[@virginiatolles1664]

Definitely! Otherwise, the room looks fantastic!

[@a_tots]

I kinda like it, it gives like a sun setting effect

[@quadbox]

I think that if it was higher, she would have had to make it wider in order to keep the same shape, but going wider would take up too much wall space and throw out the balance.

[@sadhbheire]

Defo and it would have been so cool if the bed there would also be painted in the same colour :)

[@a_tots]

quadbox yeah that toо and maybe it wouldn’t even fit because of the window

[@beth5633]

I am so glad, that not even a lockdown can stop you, love your make overs, they are always an inspiration.

[@tammy4him42]

I would LOVE to have such a clutter free, serene space! Great room girls!!

[@vanillaskye55]

I want that floor length mirror she already had! So beautiful

[@NatashaVincent]

Same! I was hoping she'd say where it was from

[@honeybrowne24]

Me too!!!

[@sweettee6827]

I know right! I kept eyeing the mirror too. It's cool!

[@LEricastilla]

LOVE the editing and collab. Such a breath of fresh air seeing others adapt and tapping into their creative juices to produce new types of content !!

[@theresawilson7386]

I love the room, I can't believe Tasha was able to have all of her zones covered. I am a symmetry person so for me the circumference of the circle should be 'touching' the the bed posts, it's just my thing though.

[@minarosered5077]

The dogs are everything. I'm obsessed with them. Beautiful makeover.

[@heidil.4651]

It’s REALLY beautiful. I love the feel of the room. The color scheme is so warm and comforting. Great job.

[@sleepypeachy416]

That painted headboard looks like the sun rising it’s so prettyyy

[@anniebanana3698]

Wow, Tasha did incredible. Absolutely love the finished result!

[@micheleharper4276]

The Picture she didn't like was my favorite. I'm loving the rugs.

[@baylynn5]

So happy to see a makeover that uses a lot of what someone already has and elevates the style and function of it. Sometimes we need new and sometimes we need to rethink our setup! Great stuff

[@ryannwatt4780]

This room came together beautifully! It's amazing that you were able to do this remotely.

[@deedee5eva]

Oh my gosh. ! This looks A M A Z I N G ! ! It looks beautiful! I love how you captured her personality!

[@jeanettepena]

Its so beautiful. The only thing I would have changed is to make that painted headboard way bigger I think is a bit small but everything else is perfect.

[@lovecara1]

Me too, I thought it was too small.

[@jeanettepena]

@@lovecara1 it was!! I also think it was a bit low.

[@kneecole198]

That curtain rod hack is everything

[@jasminmoreno1203]

Everything is always better once it gets your special “touch” 😍 Love your channel!!

[@abbie2299]

Alexandra your talent is INSANE!! I can't believe how well you pulled this off. Great work, as always!

[@trishahutchinson3485]

Tasha did great pulling it all together!

[@a_tots]

This is amazing, congrats to both of you! Alexandra, please do another collab like this one!

[@karenmcneill2602]

This was brilliant. Love the concept and the result. Tasha's bedroom is beautiful and charming.

[@karenjohnson4433]

The room turned out absolutely beautiful! The only thing I feel the room needs are bedside wall lights. Karen Florida

[@rayselby3487]

Sue here: oh it's so charming! Love it. Even the dog matches the room lol.

[@jackieclark817]

Sisters are doing it for themselves!!!! EPIC !!!! This is totally Tasha and totally Alexandra! 🤩😍🤩😍

[@RedHeadExitting]

i love that this video plays with earth tones. Usually earth tones are done in a way that darkens the room but this is still so light and airy

[@adrianaacosta3832]

That is so funny when she said desert, cause when I went on her ig I was thinking her style is definitely desert/Scandinavian with a bit of boho.

[@jacquig1939]

Ha. You don't want the dogs helping- my cat helped me and I had to repaint part of the wall and spent 20 min washing purple paint off the cat 🐱

[@TashaLeelyn]

Jacqui G Oh no 😂 my one pup did get some paint on her ear LOL.

[@merlinsmama1600]

Jacqui G 😹

[@lorawiese5897]

My Bandit was curious about the ladder, she jumped and landed in the paint pan. I yelled, scared her, then I had to chase her down the hall, catch her and clean her paws. Her paw marks became a part of the carpet for years till we moved. Was just happy she did not get a chance to clean her paws and I got there first.

[@padmavathisarvepalli4947]

This gal has all my respect. She loves her pups and that is SO ME! I love that their comfort was a priority in her planning. Also, they are adorable. :)

[@barbarawillis5187]

I like the colors Tasha chose. The room is very relaxing looking. The doggies seem to approve. Touching last scene with Tasha and one of her dogs.

[@maryannkom299]

It’s really nice. The print she didn’t like was my favorite! I adore the shelved art space that you change as the mood strikes.

[@AyeshaNoelle]

Loved that you showed how you can do it yourself with this collab😍

[@Lola-mn9oz]

OMG...HER BLONDE DOG WITH THE DARK FACE ON HER BED IS SOOOOO ADORABLE!

[@evabryan1209]

I love the throw pillows on the "dog bed" makes it comfortable for her too !! LOL They just all share. So cute!

[@LifeinLithuania]

This video concept was so cool!!! You should continue this series even after Covid is over!

[@darlosstroud870]

One of my favorite makeovers! Love both the design and the colors.

[@geminiproject062]

This was amazing!!! I absolutely love it, it turned out so great. I love the smaller circle as the headboard, I think it's just right and creates more interesting shapes with the bedframe. I LOVE the new placement of the dog/daybed! When you look from the doorway you don't even see it, but you know there's a cozy space back there. It's really really well laid out. So happy for both of you that this virtual makeover went so well!

[@sandieedward8214]

To me, an artist that circle is too Small needs enlarging cause that color is gorgeous

[@itscarolinemary]

the final result is so beautiful!!! it fits Tasha and her style perfectly.

[@PlantsNPaws]

This is probably my favorite makeover you’ve done! My room next? lol

[@VsLeo1]

I agree with both, 1) kudos to Alexandra for creating fun content during quarantine, and 2) the headboard needed better placement/sizing!

[@CiecieNewson]

The room came out beautifully. You made earthy look beautiful. ~Smile!

[@sheilavanduynfote5539]

I love how you can help transform rooms via FaceTime with your client. I also loved that she was actually able to make the entire room over, however I would have made the circle larger over the bed

[@chapman1569]

Your makeovers are the best, so cozy and relaxing. You make people very happy. I am getting inspiration from your videos to declutter my home and make it nice. Less clutter makes a home welcoming and calm. I am a maximalist but I have gone a bit overboard, I must reign in my stuff.

[@alicesullivan1790]

ALEXANDRA GATOR, I love love this bedroom. What a challenge, to not only come up with something your friend loved, have it be natural, relaxing, and include a relaxing and pretty spot for her dogs, but to also design it so she could do it herself, leaving her choices for overhead lighting and art work, and in addition, you never got to spend a second in the room you were designing. It looks doable even to this 76 year old woman with a bad back. You are definitely a wonderful designer with a super good creative imagination. QUESTION?? Did she send you tons of accurately measured dimensions of the room/windows, and existing furniture? Everything is so nicely proportional and comfy, and also tasteful and calming. She genuinely appeared to love the completed room. QUESTION #2?? Do you have a picture of the room with the new rung? Congratulations on yet another successful project, and happy client. If my place weren't such a wreck, I'd love to have you redo my living room, bedroom and garden/craft room. It will take me at least another six months to sort through, give away, clean, and organize my stuff, before I can know what I want in each room. I've been collecting things for about three years, to begin making mixed media journals and memory boxes for my siblings and eight nieces, and a few friends. Three years ago, I started watching mixed media artists on you tube and fell in love with their "junk journals." I have years of old pictures and bits and bobs of little things, which would take someone else ages to go through. I and my two sisters were overwhelmed with "stuff" to sort through after our parents died, so I'd hate to have anyone go through my stuff when I'm gone. This way, by making them each a journal and giving them decorated boxes of material to pick and chose from, they can have fun projects they can take years to work on, instead of endless piles of confusion and decisions to make. Wish me luck. As for you, you just keep taking care of yourself, and be safe. It is so nice to see you enjoying helping to make over your and others' homes. Love and hugs to you Alexandra, from Alice in South Carolina, US - your southern neighbor.

[@pamelaatkinson5710]

Love the chair that is in front of her make up area. Love the desk, too. Love the idea of using the leather for the curtain rod holders and am thinking if THAT works, well then the possibilities are endless! - fabric, wood, plastic etc.! I think the rug Alexandra picked up will make a big difference. The one she has matches but is too dark. It makes the room somber, to me. Love the little side table shelf and the pillows. (The dogs will love the pillows to rest their heads on if they are anything like mine!) I agree that the "headboard would look better and maybe more balanced with the wall space if it was larger. Also noticed on the reveal the space over the dog bed is blank. Needs an accent color or paintings or plants attached. I think Alexandra would have some greenery in there somewhere and a new bedspread, too (although that might be a fools errand with dogs! lol) if she could do the space in person but it is a great improvement! Well done!

[@user-tk6mb2mq1t]

Wow!!! That's my dream bedroom!!!! Well done girls!!! Amazing work 👌👌👌

[@thinkingbout]

Wow, what a gorgeous transformation. Well done you two! 😊

[@realdeal7074]

Wow well done! it looks so relaxing as if you're on holiday haha that lady did well building the furniture and shelves etc her voice is also calming haha

[@bialouzada15]

I'm in love and want to change my headboard right now to one like this! Thank you so much for doing these videos and making our days brighter!

[@junerobbins6871]

Love the Article Wicker 20:48 pendant lamp. Its gorgeous. The second chair matched the vibe better. It's so awesome. I think that the painted headboard needs to be a bit wider so that the bed and the wall matches perfectly.

[@racheljoanfleming159]

Love the finished product and the show-and-tell throughout. Very inventive to incorporate the dog bed into the room as a feature instead of just a place to stash dogs. Well done ladies ! A great joint effort.

[@lindarosenthal6835]

I watched Tessa’s Visio yesterday. So excited to see yours pop up! My daughter has a daybed for her three mastiffs. Yes your cats need one. Great job ladies. What a beautiful room!

[@adablair2562]

The room turned out beautiful, you girls rocked it! Alexandra you had Tasha’s colour pallet right on the buttonhole! When distancing is over you two need to get together and discuss it!

[@Beetstein]

I enjoyed this one, thank you, Alexandra! It was really great to be able to watch another make over.

[@lexymcavinchey7147]

This is so incredible. I watch...all...your videos, and so far, this is my absolute favorite. I did not think I would like all those yellow tones but it turned out so well, it's matching enough without being too obvious, it's so warm and cozy. I'm just blow away. I'm changing all my thoughts about what I want my space to look like.

[@SarahHorner]

That’s a really good makeover. I love that it completely reflects her own style. It’s interesting that the painted headboard doesn’t have to huge to work - a grown up way for what could otherwise look a bit teenage. Very inspiring.

[@coffeefortwosolly]

I loveeed this...one tiny change the curtain rod needed to be a little longer....but she was lovely and you both did an awesome job! 👏🏻👏🏻🙋🏻‍♀️🇬🇧💕

[@kassikassikassi]

I think this is my favorite video yet! I loved that she did it herself

[@zhanellebuccat9181]

It turned out SO beautiful! This video is a perfect example of how anyone can make over their space and how simple it can be. Thank you both for the inspiration! 😊

[@Enirutas]

I love it! I like her headboard where she chose it. Not too high and not too low. Awesome job, Alexandra and Tasha!

[@skiptomyloohoo]

This turned out so cozy and warm. I love it.

[@arandomwoman2310]

I LOVE it when I run across an Alexandra vlog I somehow missed!!! This room is heaven! I don’t know how you could improve on the rug...perf for the room and her style! Great job, Women!!!

[@okgreat252]

Wow! I’m blown away by how incredible it looks. I loved how you did this one remotely, and the tips about the curtains especially

[@corinnecorley9584]

[@quirkysaucy]

@@anniebanana3698 Such a pain in the butt with their reveal on a completely different platform. I don't even bother.

[@LoveNeko64]

@@quirkysaucy I don't bother with them anymore either. Their voices irritated me and they complained too much when they had 3 assistants working for them. Not very relatable anymore. That's why I like smaller channels with one or three people cause it feels more authentic and not scripted.

[@afaw130495]

This video concept is so great! The fact that she did it herself made it more accessible and also was nice that she changed little things according to what she liked. Creativity in a tough situation!
