EXTREME TINY BEDROOM MAKEOVER | Post-Modern Style

[@asconza]

I am so beyond lucky to be a part of this team🥺 thanks for making my first place feel like a home!! Having this bedroom has been a dream 🥰

[@AlexandraGater]

We love you!!

[@jocelyn8373]

Your new space is gorgeous!! And how lucky are you to work with a team who put so much love and care into designing your perfect apartment. Excellent work you guys - always love watching these videos week after week. Xx

What was the gorgeous top you were wearing during the reveal? Also you bedroom looks amazing!

@@sharnitaitt7632 I actually thrifted that top! One of my prized finds haha

[@kittipooki]

I love how Danie's pencil feels like a magical lucky DIY artifact at this point 😂

[@tanujamullick8371]

Before I watch this episode, I need to share a thought… AG is an inclusive , wealth sharing, job opportunity , talent platform transformer. That sets her and the team way ahead of others in the same field. You tube should honour her!

[@AlexandraGater]

Thank you for this beyond lovely comment!

[@TamarLitvot]

@@AlexandraGater we love how you highlight the members of your team! And Graham’s shirt should show him holding up DIY Danie’s pencil.

[@beverlydust5381]

Love the closet doors, love the headboard, Graham is so cool love his tag lines.

[@jeanlaubenthal698]

So you are a fellow you tuber?

[@rachnasingh90]

I was just thinking the total opposite! Team AG, a lovely, talented and deserving group of people, are lacking diversity in the most obvious way. When I see this team as a POC, all I can see is that they are all white. I was hoping as they hire new people and grow that they would include more BIPOC, but am always disappointed in what I see. Its 2022, we must revaluate what our workplace looks like, what we represent, especially with a big platform. To me this screams exclusivity to inclusivity.

[@wetheinnovators]

There are so many gorgeous elements! The only things I would change: 1. The closet doors would probably be better in a black or maybe a primary color since that is a little more post-modern and go better with the headboard. Like a deep red would've been cool or honestly a dark wood stain could've been great. The lilac seems a little random, and more of the classic AG style instead of coordinating with the rest of the space 2. Someone else mentioned freeing up the night stand and I totally agree! Having the huge lamp, book and plant there instead of a place for water/phone etc, isn't super functional.

[@lindaroyal8161]

I think the lamp is too big for the night stand also, something smaller and one for each side to balance the look.

[@491deja]

@@lindaroyal8161 I agree, a floor lamp on one side or matching pendants would have been nice.

[@noorawan7646]

True, lilac and gold is not very post-modern at all

[@jennifercampbell7698]

Agree, I love the lamp but I’d place on the wall shelf opposite the bed. If no power point I’d use a smart globe. The lamp would be more of a feature there. For bedside lights I’d use Alexandra’s bedside lights. Also I’d get Graham to repaint the skirting boards (baseboards) and re silicone the bath as they look daggy! I’d paint the wardrobe doors the red in the vase painting, sort of sienna colour. Also I’d suggest banquette or bench seating along the kitchen wall for entertaining with extendable oval table and foldable extra seating stored hanging on the wall.

[@hadiy101]

Based on how tiny the nightstands are, she probably needed a wall sconce or hanging lamp so as not to take up any space. She doesn’t have a single bit of drawer storage so just having any type of storage on top of the nightstands is a must.

[@Nefertsukia]

At 29:25 James edited himself into the group photo... I just can't! 😂 gotta love this whole team, job well done once again!

[@catarinamartins21]

best part of the entire video ♥

[@abbdabbles6038]

I literally was thinking something was off about that shot. But everyone was accounted for so I didn't think twice 🤣

[@PlantsNPaws]

I’m so glad you pointed that out. It’s hilarious!

[@tarepanday]

love it!! 2 tiny details that I thought could elevate/finish the space even more! 1. Paint/stain the bed frame a darker wood tone 2. touch up paint on the baseboard next to the closet 3. Maybe move the diy lamp to the mantle so it could stand out more against the white? 😍

[@491deja]

I was so surprised they didn’t stain the frame to match the little side tables. You’re right those little details would have been so good! 😊

[@katbar6066]

I agree about the baseboard . It looks awful. The rest of the job was great!

[@hadiy101]

Yes I wish they would have stained the bed frame to match the wood side tables on the headboard.

[@ptt218]

Also, although unrelated to the bedroom makeover, somebody needs to take care of that moldy caulk around the bathtub 🤢.

[@janedoe932]

Or paint the base of lamp, i think the bed frame matches the cane

[@dewyperiod]

imo the wood on the vase lamp makes it look more finished. It's such a cute touch.

[@ginagoodman]

The wood connector is actually a nice touch for the vase lamp aesthetically:)

[@ronifurr]

Graham is so sweet! Everyone else makes fun of Alexandra, and he’s just out here being her biggest fan!

[@kayenacur]

That headboard color is everything! Also love how the art mirrored the red vase. Just get that leaky candle off the book on the bedside table!

[@user-ed7et3pb4o]

haha definitely! honestly if I had a candle that pretty I'd never light it anyway lol

[@carolgalpin9334]

And I'd never put a plant on top of a book unless it was a fake plant.

[@lisasheridan5482]

Graham is so talented.

[@hollys9308]

I would totally buy his woodworking products. He is very clever

[@opendoortheatre4328]

I love the final reveal of this make over! Beautiful work - I’m a huge fan so this is only meant to be helpful and not as a criticism. From my health and safety training as a design and resistant materials teacher (would you call that wood shop in the states/Canada?) - but blowing dust is something I’ve had to teach my students to fight the urge to do constantly! Particles/dust get into the air and can affect lungs and eyes - and if you’re all working with timbers over long periods of time you want to limit that as much as you can as they contain carcinogens! I know lots of DIYers watch your show so I wanted to say something so people can keep themselves safe! Xxx

[@tashsikkes]

Fantastic thing to add. Definitely want people to be safe!

[@lindacruikshank2656]

Love the headboard and the closet doors. My only suggestion is to finish the inside of the doors with a trim around the cane.

[@nusrat6440]

Graham‘s merch should say „it’s fine, i can do that“😌

[@alicesullivan1790]

I am only three months behind on my comments, so please.... OF COURSE GRAHAM should have his own store. ALESSANDRA had the perfect reaction to her beautiful bedroom. Ya'll hit it out of the ball park. Some of the best giggles and laughter ever - re: the lamp. re: the foam. Alexandra: you are so humble about your prodigious skills, talent, & your inviting personality. Within a couple of years, you'll be busting through your second million subscribers. Thanks muchly to you and your wonderful crew, for helping to fill my aloneness with so much fun & beauty. All of you be healthy, safe, and continue to light up this 78 year old woman''s life in stifling hot South Carolina. (my little wish is that the power stays on till fall gets here.) With love and appreciation, Alice

[@LJmysticOwl]

The fact that you all wore lilac overalls to match the doors... perfection.

[@katherinespencer2633]

Love how this turned out. Very smart design for such a small space. My only request, for future decorations, omit live flame candle near the headboard. It’s extremely dangerous, too close to the curtains, too. My friend had this happen in her bedroom, damages were severe.

[@theonetheonlychi61]

I don't think that candle was really meant to be lit up in the first place. A lot of people use candles like that as more of a decorative sculpture rather than a candle they actually light.

[@nancyhoskins197]

Too boho.

[@cindyboughen9933]

Graham’s shirt could say “I can do anything!”😍

[@nancyhoskins197]

My husband has a tee shirt that says "I fix stuff and I know things". Good motto for Graham.

[@emileemorgan]

That vase lamp is one of your BEST diys ever! SO beautiful 🤩

[@pamrauhuff2375]

Yes, we need a merch store from Graham.

[@marjojohannasutinen406]

The headboard is without a doubt the queen of this makeover! It's a gorgeous statement. Not swapping out the functional but *very* basic pendant lamp seems like a missed opportunity.

[@ellenmason3833]

[@hannahfiedler3735]

I'd love to see you design their kitchen and bathroom too! Love this style. Looks beautiful!

[@itscarolinemary]

I had that thought too! :) they totally should!!

[@victorialove9104]

In general a beautiful job. Love the headboard. Really love the bifold doors with cane. I'm going to do that to one of my closets. I think the "night stands" are over accessorized. They need to be functional so you need to leave more space for things one might have to put on them. The curtains in such a small space definitely do not need to puddle on the floor. No no no. In the video you can see she already tripped on them. Please incorporate function and practicality into your design.

[@boatwidow2002]

I think she is aware at that. This was just done for staffing purposes.

[@KasSommers]

Aye, hang the curtains as high as possible. Curtains pooling on the floor are a menace for a vacuum cleaner or broom and are a trip hazard. And they look like someone didn't measure properly. I love the vase lamp - you all find such great things to DIY.

[@barefootcontessamessa7245]

Pooling curtains is an extremely traditional design element. I have it and my home and do not find it a menace at all. Of course in practical use the night stands may be used differently but they looked gorgeous in the final images!

[@sandieedward8214]

Roman shades are another option

[@TamarLitvot]

Love the makeover but I always roll my eyes at curtains pooled on the floor. Unless you clean obsessively and have no furry roommates, those curtain bottoms will get incredibly dusty and dingy very quickly. And yes, also be a tripping hazard.

[@miaallen6119]

I’m moving out in 2 months with my partner and this is EXACTLY the style we want for our flat. So glad you’ve posted this!

[@pamhoss8718]

Graham is terrific, he can do just about any kind of remodeling, building, electrical, plumbing, etc. I wish I had a handyman like him around,

[@annt7384]

The scale of that headboard is so balancing and zen for that space. Anything smaller would feel cluttered; it’s like you needed something on a completely different scale to direct the eye and unify the room.

[@evezford]

“Do you believe in magic?” I like that, it works! Love those doors for the closets! The whole makeover is beautiful

[@dominikmuller5021]

Merch absolutely. "We're still workshopping!" would also be a great line... 😂

[@heathercartwright7677]

Sigh. I love the headboard, mirror, side table and DIY lamp; they match the style perfectly. But the lavender and cane doors are Alexandra's style, not the bold primary post-modern asked for. I think she struggled sometimes to not put her own style into the place - not always, but times like this where I think she kinda just did what she would do if it was her home.

[@angelaglaros]

I didn’t have that thought exactly, but more that the yellow undertones in the cane clashed with that lilac shade. Something with warmer tones would have also set off the blue headboard nicely. And cane can be stained too (Lone Fox did a nice video on that).

[@JessieBanana]

She goes to lavender a lot I’ve noticed, even when it doesn’t really match anything.

[@heatherinparis]

This started off so well but then you added the pink paint!

[@TamarLitvot]

This is one of your best - taking this small space and turning it into a lovely bright haven with just the right amount of interesting detail. The closet doors are not only pretty but have the surprising effect of opening up the room because they match and blend, add a gentle pretty touch, and close off clutter. I remember my first place (many many years ago) and how important it was to me. You’ve honored that feeling.

[@ivoryinkwell7864]

I love that you guys show the not so glamorous parts like when you were filling the vase with foam to turn it into a lamp. It could have easily have been edited out and turned into a music montage but you guys didn't. It makes the whole channel feel so genuine.

[@karenmcneill2602]

This video Team AG is phenomenal! Love the humour, the editing, the postmodern style and team work!!! Absolutely beautiful bedroom. My favourite piece is that breathtaking headboard 😲😲😲😲😲😍😍😍😍😍😍💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙. Such a stunning bedroom in your own first apartment! CONGRATULATIONS Alessandra!👏👏👏👏👏

[@annaryan4803]

Alexandra, it is so gratifying to watch you take on the adventure of decorating a home with a style you have never done before. The butterflies you experience are worth it!

[@colinkulowcreative]

A tip for stretching material/cane on a frame is to secure a corner and stretch to the diagonal corner first. This results in a smoother overall surface. 😁

[@beverlydust5381]

Love the headboard and the closet, the lamp is so unique, Graham needs his own tag lines, this one looks like you had alot of fun doing it. Your team AG member is very lucky to have you do this for her. Hope she enjoys it.

[@lyds9500]

Graham Cam just made me smile :)

[@suehunter3672]

First, let me say I love this channel. I was inspired by the closet doors in this video and was able to cut and remove the slats from my slatted closet doors. The wood putty to fill the holes for me was a nightmare. Where was Graham when I needed him??? I could not get a nice smooth wood putty/sanded look....my skills were lacking. I did find a piece of odd PVC trim at Lowes that covered my holy mess. I was able to cut this trim with a box cutter and use liquid nail and brad nails in my electric staple gun to attach it to the door covering all of the holes and my poor attempt at wood putty! Doors look great. Thanks for the idea. Trim cost in US $ 5.08 for an 8ft piece. Keep the inspiration coming!

[@aviajarehema7393]

Nice! Highlights IMO: Headboard:, Lilac paint, Curtain rod, Squiggle handles, Vase, Checker cushions, both Art prints, Underbed storage:, Hooks: Red vase.

[@devanwright4889]

I love this room and I really love the closet doors!!! My only concern is that the staples on the inside when I open my closet would bug me because I love to have a pretty inside closet. Any ideas of how you would cover them up?

[@revealthewill]

Glue on trim

[@kathleennorton5531]

I agree trim would have finished the doors off nicely. Looks a little unfinished with staples showing. I hope her clothes do not get snagged.

[@cindynicholson7935]

I was thinking the same thing! Needs trim around the caning on the inside.

[@tashsikkes]

Trim would certainly work, either that or another panel to cover it and give a clean backing would be another option

[@laurenvanson5729]

That was left so unfinished! Can't believe she left it like that. 😰

This is just to say that I want more of your content! I am definitely much more minimal/functional and not that much into decor that has no meaning to me BUT you have opened my eyes a little bit to what a difference certain items can do like changing the lighting or a rug! Never did any of these but definitely will when I move into my new apartment in 2 months! I have always lived in small spaces and this is also a studio but has much more surface area and a nice balcony with a view as well, so can't wait to use all your tips when I move in! I also just love your vibe and energy, which I think is why I enjoy watching your videos every day :) so just sending some love your way currently still from Ireland but soon back home in Switzerland :) xoxo Natalie
