[@michaelbeck4236]

Yay!

[@MamaC6100]

Not my favorite makeover but still kinda cute. 🥰

[@beckyowens8232]

Loved it! You've such a generous insightful spirit when designing these rooms. You listen, and they loved their new room. The tears say it all. The bench and the dog bed and the baskets were the perfect finishing touches.

[@tisherby2998]

This is probably one of the best makeovers. I wish you would stop using weeds as plants. Everybody does not like cats. So stop. Linen beds that look so unkept. Use more sophisticated items. Otherwise good job.

[@niva8043]

I love this makeover. The best part is Sprout's house. Whatever you pay Graham it's not enough. He's such a gem. #Grahamfanclub

[@saleo37]

I'm joining. He is the best ❤😊

[@CorpseBride64]

I totally agree!!

[@JenMUA]

I love graham, he makes me want to be a better person lol!

[@dianestreicher6572]

He zipties his overalls? He's just ridiculously inventive and so so cute.

[@Iheartjareddiamond]

I mean… can I be the President! He is so adorable

[@jennapapke3239]

I know Alexandra said that not centering the window curtains on the wall was a mistake, but I actually really love the asymmetric look of the curtains with that art print!

[@niva8043]

I agree. I'm a very symmetrical person but sometimes too symmetric looks boring.

[@terrysmith470]

I have a bedroom like this. The window is off-center because it looks centered from outside. I just went for it - what else can you do?

[@chantico2543]

I agree. I think the paining to the right of the window kind of balances it out.

[@nks18]

Same here! I like the charm Of the non-centered curtains then offset with the hanging plant and art. It’s way way nicer !

[@beckyowens8232]

Me too!

[@HAppytobeHer]

Formal petition for Graham to get a raise 🤩👏🏼

[@jocelyn8373]

10/10!!!!!! That bed! Sprouts House!! The art!! The sheets!! The lamp! All while the team was in large part away and sick?? You guys are magicians. Especially kudos to Graham for doing a significant amount of work to pull it together.

[@apio.6862]

Graham is a blessing!!! We all need a Graham in our lives

[@kellybell6442]

That bench & dog bed 🤯🤯 Absolutely STUNNING!! This make over was brilliant. Great job Team AG

[@Nefertsukia]

Absolutely stunning results! I also giggled a lot with James' little editing additions. He never misses a beat. XD

[@jeanne-marie8196]

Incredible transformation! Graham is a true treasure for the AG team. Glad you are feeling better, and hope the entire team is now healthy, and I hope Noah escaped catching the illness. (Your clients were such a cute couple, and Sprout was adorable!)

[@sinastogner9118]

Graham is such a gem!!!! Love everything he does 🥰. Wonderful job in such a small space 🥰

[@otakelblanchemanor0659]

Oh My Land! From frat house bedroom to hotel living! An amazing and absolutely fabulous transformation!! ❤❤❤

[@Cyanntific]

HAHA YES frat house bedroom is the perfect way to describe the space pre-makeover 😂

[@yorkielover1027]

I loved her reaction! You can really tell she will feel happy every time she enters that room.

[@idid138]

For sure! She was so happy. I ❤️ the room too.

[@tiffycrawfy73]

Still in love with our new bedroom!! ❤

[@michaelbeck4236]

Yet another awesome transformation with the classic AG twist. I seriously loved how this turned out and y'all nailed the style to perfection! Team AG for the win once again! omg That bench with a dog bed for Sprout is so freaking cute and ingenuitive! Brilliant. Way to go, Graham! ❤️

[@anndodds4993]

This Graham guy is worth his weight in gold !, I’m IMPRESSED !!

[@GoogleUser-wx8mw]

Wow, I feel bad for doubting that you could make such a small bedroom look lux. Hats off to Team AG! That bench is so beautiful.

[@heatherinparis]

This turned out exceptionally beautifully, especially since it was such a challenging space to begin with......LOVE IT!!

[@sewcraftymarigold5556]

I'm no longer surprised or blown away by what Gram can do but looking forward to what outside the box inspiration he will bring on the next makeover. ☺

[@loretta9478]

Great transformation Alexandra! Graham is the hero in this makeover, excellent craftsman and team player. 🐾

[@saragraham9744]

I can’t believe you don’t have a million subscribers yet!

[@lovingmayberry307]

Graham nailed this makeover!!

[@cloversue1166]

Graham is a hero! I'll definitely join the fan club. The whole team is great! I love the chemistry between them all, and how they laugh and have fun while working super hard. Alexandra has great taste in picking team members! But seriously, Graham, chef's kiss!

[@LukMcKain]

The “G” in Team AG actually stands for Graham. #GrahamCrackers

[@joycedavis9996]

Graham…Graham…Graham the bench and dog bed are stunning👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@alisonnicholson8060]

This room has so much style. The leather is gorgeous. I have moved into an apt after being a home owner for 40 years. I bought an Article sofa on your recommendation and I love it. ❤️ I am a faithful follower.

[@oliviaclarke9553]

There needs to be a social media page or a segment on the Insta just for asking graham “how to” questions or advice, I wish I had a graham 😔

[@itscarolinemary]

Graham is so talented!!! That bench and dog bed are beautiful! The space turned out beautiful!!!

[@jenniferclyde8911]

“Fluffing” 💀😂💀. Ok lol so I put off watching this video because I was feeling very farmehoused out, but I love how you pulled the cozy vibes, black accents, and neutral tone on tone thing out from out of her style without the farmhouse! The result is really lovely

[@hannahlivingston3568]

I love so much about this! My personal preference change is minor- I’d swap out the gray sheets/second duvet for a deep/dusty warm green. I feel it would tie in the warmer tones of the wood, floor, and accent wall, while still keeping the overall feel of the room! Love seeing everything the AG team does! ❤️

[@brittani1504]

Alexandra is at it again with the absolutely beautiful makeovers!

[@barbarak1744]

Really great. I love that the window is not centered. We all need a Graham.

[@stephanieray6587]

The color of the headboard looks really good with the parquet flooring. Reclaimed coffeehouse furniture? Yes, please! Going to add this one to my faves!

[@nanalynne]

I can’t believe how amazing Graham is. You and your whole team are great. Lovely job!

[@vickytimmerman1365]

"You need to consult a Gram".. I love it ! I wish we all had a Gram!

[@violetmartha916]

I'm 3:22 in and I already love that lady....she's so concerned that her dog still has a cosy place to sleep. What a lovely lady. 💕💕💕

[@lisaann9614]

Although I am not a millennial, I have become rather addicted to your makeovers. I can't believe how you are able to take a small room and make it seem so much larger.

[@meerabiftikhar6225]

i think everyone can agree that we all need a Graham in our lives👏

[@angelaglaros]

I originally thought that the only solution to that off-center window would be wall-to-wall curtains and curtain rod. However, you really balanced that wall very well with a soft window treatment, the picture, and the plant. Love it!

[@JL11775]

Beautiful makeover! Addition of the ceiling fan is a game changer. Surprised they didn’t mention it. Loved the bench and the dog bed too. Graham is a skilled genius!

[@juliahatt7741]

May I tell you this. You are not Joanna Gaines and you dont have to be. You are Alexandra Gater! I love your style. It is younger, more international, more practical and so much cooler! Just wanted to tell you that I've been watching your videos since the beginning and it is so cool to see how your style evolves. Greetings from Switzerland.

[@theebajanqueen6599]

This is absolutely beautiful and Graham is pure gold.

[@carolepeck3829]

Calm and livable, The asymmetry works beautifully.

[@LadyGamerLoon]

I LOVE seeing how far you've come. followed you for a while and enjoyed seeing your growth and get out of your comfort zone and trying new things that don't involve pom poms (;P LOL). This room looks incredible. keep up the great work!

[@michelletomasello1164]

Graham the MVP for this makeover!!!

[@RebeccaTreeseed]

Awwww Sprout's bed is darling. My old pupper needed a "cave" to sleep comfortably.

[@pattibearup344]

The whole room is a stunner! And, Sprout's bed is absolutely amazing down to his little sign! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@anitarobbins6414]

Nice to hear a “ thank you “ from the recipients for a change!

[@lifewithoutstress2684]

Love the makeover…..hate the lamps. Everything else is simply perfect.

[@kellisolomon-mattox76]

That bench is a true work of art.

[@ShaySunshyne]

She’s done it again! It looked sooo good! & What can’t Graham make? 😭😭

[@chandaharkins4418]

I hate to admit it, but I really didn't think this was going to amount to much given the size of the room. Y'all surprised me again - in a good way! Graham is so good; the bench and dog bed are great. I also really like how you styled the asymmetrical window wall.

[@gradyvandenbosch5772]

Very well done. You can turn the smallest space into style and beauty (and function). Only, the wooden beads. You are much more talented than to turn to such a less inspiring object. Why don't thrift a beautiful bowl or something. So I hope to see you grow even more. And Graham...no words.

[@_JanetLouise]

that headboard! wow! beautiful bench! good save on the wonky window!

[@jengus1951]

Absolutely beautiful! Everything is just awesome!That bench is the bomb. Love Graham...he does great work. Ok but lose the wooden beads, so over them, lol.

[@ursulamelia7136]

Great stuff!!! As always!!! But the dog house was the icing on the cake! Thank you for making an effort for Sprout!!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@patchouleigh_]

Love. 10/10. I am convinced: there is no space that Alexandra can't transform into something beautiful and so livable.

[@nikkiep23]

My home is very similar. Joanna Gaines moved away from traditional farmhouse years ago. Its more organic, modern farmhouse. I visited Magnolia Farms a couple years ago and l fell in love with all of their stores, eateries and overall space. Graham is super talented and skilled.

[@bwhite8333]

Alexandra, everybody needs a Grahm! He is just awesome. Love your make over as usual.

[@carolwood9270]

Yes, yes, yes……….another Alexandra creation of perfection…..

[@rosemarydoran9907]

A really beautiful bedroom! Very well done! Just like me, my dogs rule The roost. It probably comes as no surprise that my favorite part of the makeover is Sprout's house. The bedding and decor are all beautiful but the custom bed frame made just for Sprout really touched my heart.

[@mowattlavern62]

I love it, I also love Joanna Gaines

[@Rebelhomeland]

That bench & dog house are amazing! The whole thing really such a small space with such a pop!

[@gigik6334]

I just love this space, what a great makeover! Graham is so very talented! Tiffany reacted the way I would have and I love that.

[@tynaedwards8452]

Definitely cozy and warm. Great makeover. I actually like the window off center. You were right not to choose more curtain because it would overwhelm that beautiful bed. I like the wall art and that little pop of blue in the one picture is just right.

[@ax12m]

I love everything Graham added, he's so talented! However, I think the wall color and the headboard didn't quite match. In the video, the wall looked more green than beige, but maybe its different in person.

[@kaylaleiann]

Amazing transformation!!! Love how versatile you guys are when a client asks for something outside your signature boho style. I also love that you didn’t just give the client cookie cutter farmhouse. You guys are just phenomenal! Can’t wait to see what y’all tackle next!

[@RocketChild]

Gram was the MVP of todays episode!!

[@lelaitcestlavie4504]

OMG, that bench is gorgeous ! Great job Graham

[@andrezadantas2983]

The last minute picture next tô the plant was a game changer! Great work!🌻

[@SuperrDee03]

Graham is such an MVP and also Amanda is a harry stan yass

[@delisthomas8521]

Finally I’ve found someone that caters to small studio apartment living. Now hopefully I can get some ideas.

[@renee9318]

I LOVE the AG team. And Graham is SO HANDSOME!!!

[@user-ed7et3pb4o]

Yet again, Graham is the MVP!

[@dovilegurskyte2764]

You really deserve 10 times more subscribers, how is everyone missing this 'Gem' of a channel..

[@katieamey3286]

I absolutely loved this. Their bedroom previously looked more like a crash pad, and you brought it ahead decades to be a grownups’ bedroom. I also love that you made it a room that a guy would feel included in - the warm camel tones and black accents are really lovely.

[@Katfada]

I don't know you but I'm falling for Graham hahaha he's super talented.

[@wendylbranchfield7959]

Sprout’s bed was Fab, Graham!

[@kellycoco33]

Alexandra never disappoints!

[@MCM1965]

Wow, the difference is night and day!!! Gorgeous!!! Love both beds!!! Sprout is a lucky little dog!!! ❤😊

[@juliecaron7569]

It's beautiful, but I would have run double curtains across the whole window wall to make the space appear wider, with black out curtains so that the window light doesn't disrupt sleep. But the dog bed is adorable and well thought.

[@sarahpearlemily]

the editing in this video is impeccable

[@tessysins9142]

Graham is such a genius! 😮🎉 this bench and dog bed WOOOW! i absolutely love this bedroom! One of the best one’s you did!😊

[@gwendavis9655]

Hello! I am adult deaf. I am an inspiration. This brought tears to my eyes. I am so proud of u all were working so hard on the job. It’s BEAUTIFUL professionally building bedroom etc. You are very brave and strong. Great Job! I know you two are inspiring and deserve every success etc. Yes, Indeed, That bench & dog bed looks so amazing stunning. GORGEOUS!!! Tell your boyfriend Hello! God Bless you all. Take Care! 👍🏻🤟🏻🤩❤️

[@oscarwinston1159]

Leather and lamps seemed a dash of art deco. Nice!

[@socalgal7830]

Beautiful with cozy vibes. This is one of my favorite makeovers that you've designed.

[@akwillhoft]

I think this at every AG video but the editing is just *chefs kiss* - laughed out loud so many times and especially at the Devil Wears Prada “that’s all” bit 😂😂

[@aviajarehema7393]

Really loved this bedroom makeover. Highlights IMO: Bedframe, Underbed storage, Ceiling fan, Black accent cushions, Lumbar cushion, Side tables, Table lamps, Baskets, and Sprout's house!

[@Sanflo78]

Stunning makeover! Graham is very talented, great woodworking skills. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@sharonbuffett]

That bench - love it!!! And the dog bed! Beautiful!

[@CorpseBride64]

Very classy Gater & team, plus Graham rocked his projects!!

[@debbierosa9572]

🤯 this room is stunning !!! Go ahead Graham that bench and bed is perfection 🤌🏼

[@ghostgirl6970]

I normally hate the Gaines aesthetic but this is lovely. You add your warmth to it, something I feel like her stuff lacks.

[@meganharper6566]

This is A👏ma👏zing👏!! What a gorgeous bedroom. Also, special mention to Graham - he is truly skilled at what he does! Great job, team A.G.!!! ❤️‍🔥

[@juliaowens4566]

I like how you narrate everything, so we know exactly what’s going on, but would love to see Graham narrate the Graham Cam parts, or explain the thing with the ceiling fan! It’d be cool to get more insight into his thought process and sharing his knowledge himself even if it’s recorded after he actually does it 😊

[@ephphathaoracle]

Graham is SO TALENTED!! Omg!

[@myriaschwitzgebel743]

Watching your videos inspires me but also gives me a warm feeling EVERY TIME. Thanks Alexandra for the joy you and your team bring to us viewers and especially to the owners. This needs to be said: the way you evolve in your styling capabilities while also transparently reflecting your choices and not being too much influenced by criticism is such a good example for healthy growth! Be blessed

[@TamarLitvot]

Well done! I was skeptical about the headboard blocking the window, but understood that there wasn’t any choice about where the bed would go. And somehow you made it work. The room is just lovely. Your design taste, your delightful team and Graham’s eclectic skills are all winners.

[@dianegoss7181]

So glad you guys are better. Another great room! Plus. I love Joanna Gaines !

[@lafinitryder]

Wow! How the heck did you make the room look bigger? I think this is my favorite make over yet! The room is a combination of feminine and masculine, which I always love for a bedroom.

[@lyric8529]

Awww Sprout!! Sprout's House is SWEET!!! Way to go Graham!

[@ayseyilmaz3910]

Oh, the original black and white rug was so cute.
