Hey guys! I'm Alexandra Gater and I show you how to do rental-friendly upgrades and DIY projects on a budget. New videos every Saturday! In today's episode of the Team AG Office Project, I'm turning a tiny nook into a stylish workspace. I hope this gives you some ideas for how to transform your own WFH space, since I know so many of you are likely working with small spaces like this, too!

@NibblesOfficial 3 года назад

I was having a goddamn panic attack when she wanted to paint it gold or sage. In spaces where someone is editing with colours you want either white, 18% grey or black. Any colours introduced into a space mess with how your eyes perceive the colours on your screen. Also any lights should have a daylight bulb not a warm white... and curtains to block the light coming in through the window hahaha. But super cute space, love that print and the plants are really lovely.

@itsjonna5070 3 года назад

curtain is a must, especially that the desk were you will be talking is not far from the nook

You could try the scallop stencil alternating right side up and upside down to get a wavy line that's more precise!

He needs a little divider between the nook and the rest of the room. Or at least a mirror so he can tell when someone comes behind him.

The math teacher in me is sad that she’s not there to make you a perfect sine wave... or cosine (my personal fave) #nerdsunite

@rtd1791 3 года назад

Oh. I was thinking something similar. Her “squiggles” were off in terms of scale. Fewer repeats would have looked better. Longer wavelength and a variety of amplitudes. More akin to rolling hills than cute scallops. I also thought all three walls should have been painted.

@kimberlydickerson93 3 года назад

So glad someone else said it! Just using a circular stencil to make the crests and troughs would have made her pattern more uniform, like a sine wave (without being a true sine wave).

@TheSpectre223 3 года назад

I do think those 'squiggles' could have worked if they were even and you used a mug/glass/small paint tin to draw around, but at the same time I quite like the straight line because it matches the industrial vibe of the space generally so maybe happy accidents

James is a ray of sunshine! He always makes me smile 😊

@ripewickedplum 3 года назад

I thought it looks cute. Some sound proofing would have been ideal for someone who edits since it's in close proximity to the other desks. A divider that mufflers sound behind the chair and some panels on the wall would have been a nice touch!

EXACTLY what I am worried about myself. Nothing worse than a glare on the screen when editing, as well as having non-neutral colours behind the screen (best stick to white, dark grey, black)

@deathbanana888 3 года назад

I like that you tell us what you're NOT going to do, what you've decided against and what you're NOT going for. It really helps me to learn a lot more from your videos than I've found anywhere else. I've been following you since pretty much the beginning, and I like to watch this genre of video every morning which means I've watched everything you've done already, so I've had to look elsewhere for more content, and it's just unsatisfying and hard to learn from other people most of the time. They just don't let people in on the creative process like you do, which helps me to be aware of things to consider when working on my own space and projects. I really like that about your videos

@mzansime 3 года назад

I loove the decor in James's editing nook - especially the wall, that print and the planters. 😍 Regarding noise - trust them. He and Alex will have discussed that right at the start. James will probably wear headphones over his gorgeous locks. 🎧 My only concern is light reflection off the monitor. But that's easily fixed with a folding screen that can be opened behind him. 💕

@7sevendaysara 3 года назад

The painting set the vibe!!! Maybe I would add a rug for extra coziness. Well done alexandra. I was laughing so hard on how confident you were on the first attempt to paint the wall, ending up hating it. Making over is a process. Sara Nena DIY

@karenjp5848 3 года назад

As a person who worked in an office for many years, a rug would be a hinder. Bare floor or maybe a desk mat would be best depending on how much he moves around. I know a desk mat isn’t “cool vibe” but, I’m sure they will figure it out as time goes on.

Maybe you could paint the mustard yellow above the navy I think it would enhance the art since it has a light border around the image also the frame is a warm color and last the mustard will tie in with the couch in the other area

@amandavalpey1521 3 года назад

This office space is beyond beautiful and I absolutely love it. I have to be honest though, what I fail to understand is the comment, “the canvas is a great solution for a work space without a lot of storage”. If it’s an office built from scratch, I wonder why storage and function wasn’t the main focus. 🤷🏽‍♀️ But you know what, everyone works differently. What functions for me might be different than what functions for them. She did a great job!! I’m 41, so I guess the main focus of a work space being “Instagram worthy” in a generational thing that I am too old to understand. 👵🏽🤣
