I love how you said if you feel like doing stuff do it but if you feel like laying on the couch then lay on the couch !!! I do a little of both 🥰 I absolutely love the office it’s fresh and very cheerful I’m so glad that you did that !! One tiny thing I would move that basket on the floor to the left side instead of the right because you can see it from the left better in your pictures and because the door is on the left it would give you more foot room on the right side if that makes any sense to you 😬 keep ‘em coming Alexandra !!😎

I know I'm a while late to finally watching this but thank you so much for this, I'm giving a mini-makeover to my boss's office and I love the ikea pegboard system! My lovely boss is a counselor who works with a lot of kids and teens and continues to work hard during the pandemic. She works out of an older building that came furnished with some dated pieces - desk, table, shelves, etc - and I work in her office opposite days of her during this time so I'm going to give her a lil surprise makeover =) It won't be as big a change as this but it'll certainly add some much-needed organization to her life (one of the main reasons she hired me!) and brighten up her desk. Thank you Alexandra!!! Your videos are a highlight of my week.

I don't think I ever said thank you for your first video about your closet office inspiring me to do the same with mine. It's doing double time as a closet and an office, but I realized it was such a ridiculously BIG space for clothes for one person and I hated having an office corner in my bedroom. Rethought my organization, reduced my amount of clothes Marie Kondo style (haven't regretted it, realized I had way too many clothes), and moved my desk right on in. It's like I just made another room, plus I can shut the door on my work when I'm done. This has been particularly useful now that I'm working from home. I love it.

so much better with the paint background, the color is great and without a pattern so your board and office things are the decor, which is so pretty. love how everything ties together. if you feel you need more task light, i found these new generation led pop lights that go under a shelf, and it can either be attached with a screw, included or command strips also included. bright light in a small, movable, and rent friendly package.

Great redo of that space Alexandra, I'm loving that soft peachy pink, so girly yet not too girly. I love how it is simple and so organized with that peg board, super cool. Thanks for this video, since I am an essential worker I have not been isolated like so many people, so when I do get time I have been organizing and getting rid of things I no longer need or want. It's very liberating to get things organized and make the space look better. Most of my space is small since I live in a house that is less than 800 square feet, but lately I have been having a great time cleaning and organizing things, I will be painting my walls which should really change the look of things and for sure brighten the room. Thanks again Alexandra, stay safe and I will see you soon, sending love and hugs, bye for now.

I think that would make a great coffee table book and I would never be able to put it down. 2nd, how can I hire you and Danie come to my home and redo my original 80's style kitchen? Thanks and have an awesome day.
