I love all of Gina-Stephanie’s video’s. They are so beautiful and make me want to makeover all of my rooms every six months!!

@olioliwoo 2 года назад

Can this please be an annual Christmas episode? It would be so fun to see the evolution. I loved this so much!! This is definitely one of my top 3 favorite AG video!

@juisjuis551 2 года назад

yes me too!

@Violet.18 2 года назад

You know that Alexandra's self-esteem is solid and healthy by how much she can genuinely laugh at herself. LOVE this girl💞!!!! I wish we could all take ourselves just a little less seriously... 😂😂😂

@lueear1 2 года назад

Oh, Gina, I am only 12 minutes in and already I am laughing so hard I'm crying. This is the best. I am glad you are able to poke fun at yourself. Best Wishes and Happy Holidays to you and your wonderful crew.

The amount of joy and laughter between the three of you is wonderful. The way you get along is squad goals. So sweet. One of my favorite videos of all time. So happy that you’ve had the success you deserve.

@alexzandriablanche3370 2 года назад

I love Carla. I am Carla. She tells you how it is, never holds back, with her sarcastic clap-backs. But all with the best intentions. I wish she was in the videos more.

Yes, but at the same time she’s so incredibly supportive!

@Maplediary2022 2 года назад

Truee I love her personality

@isabelj3029 2 года назад

True!! Her comments are so on point and hilarious. “How were you going to fix that [cabinet gap], you just learned how to spackle like 10 seconds ago”

@fpeer 2 года назад

I have never commented on your content . This was hysterical. Mostly because you could laugh at yourself. I was literally laughing in my living room and I think I scared my cats. I like to see the colors that you choose and the world from your view even if the process is a little shaky at times. Much love to you Gina ❤️

@AlexandraGater 2 года назад

Oh this makes me so happy

@fabienneroure9995 2 года назад

It was such a hilarious 🤪video to watch absolutely loved it! Gina and her team are amazing!🤗😘

@alisonhaywood8715 2 года назад

Best video ever Brenda. I was crying laughing at some of James's comments and the spackling, you could have iced a cake with the amount you put on the wall. Loved it. I also love your makeovers, even if they're not always what I would choose. I appreciate your hard work.

@angieemm 2 года назад

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see an update video where you revisit your older makeovers and chat with the residents to talk about practicality, what worked, what didn't, did they get bored of stuff too quickly, what they changed, etc.!

@DIYDanie 2 года назад

ok... GATER, I'M DYING!!!! I'm so late to watch this video but literally on the floor laughing. Remind me to NEVER give you a putty knife. LOL 😂

Love these 3 characters. Wholesome, Sassy and Serious. I think it would be a great idea to include the 3 character dynamic in future videos. It works

@lindsayschmidt9536 2 года назад

We need more Gina, Stephanie, and Jason 😜 episodes. I have never laughed so hard. 😂 I absolutely loved this episode you all vibe so well together!!! ❤️

@janedarre 2 года назад

Absolutely hysterical to watch-was having a stressful morning and this just made me laugh it off!!! You have a talented team and you have definitely been honest to show the growth of your talent over the years-Congratulations!!! Merry Christmas

@benpohl7186 2 года назад

Can I say that even though they joke about Alexandra's construction skills, she gave me the confidence to try to do some of these things in my home. She simplifies things and breaks it down nicely in a way that most other home improvement channels do not. She is also not afraid to tackle new challenges.

@courtneytesh9234 2 года назад

I laughed through this whole thing. Immaculate vibes of three friends lovingly roasting each other (but mainly Alexandra). AG is SUCH a good sport and much better at laughing at herself with them than I would be!

@katherinewill2704 2 года назад

I love the way the three of you work together. Thank you for putting James and Carla on camera!

@marybethlongstreth186 2 года назад

I just want to say, I used the heart decal in my granddaughter's nursery. It was so sweet! Looking back on your growth was so fun. We all should grow so much!

@sydneexo 2 года назад

I was actually howling during this video - James's commentary killed me. I loved this and agree with some of the other comments, it needs to be an annual review!!

@carinacarvalheiro141 2 года назад

I had so much fun watching this, and yeah, growth is the magic word here. I keep coming back every week because I love the makeovers and the tips, but also the vibe. The whole team is awesome. Enjoy your break.

@maddalena5708 2 года назад

My favorite makeover is Carla's loft, that's so effective, the position of the sofa is genious, the records are cozy, you achieved a lot within such a small space, that's a really satysfing makeover.

@Madame0variesNYC 2 года назад

I really appreciate how wholesome and sweet your content is. Especially with the state of the news and all the negativity online. You always put a smile on my face. So endearing. Keep up the good work ❤️❤️

@kathyhitt8319 2 года назад

I edited short form promos for years. My best friend and I decided it was time to build our reels when there was a management change. This video took me right back to her office, looking at our old stuff and laugh so hard we couldn’t breath. Thank you for posting this. It absolutely made my day! And BTW, James is right, you are all really good at your jobs!!

@joannesaliani2258 7 месяцев назад

I have been working my way from this year backwards because I just found your channel. Watching this video was hysterical. I laughed so hard I cried. What I admire most though is the will to keep going , growing and learning. Kudos for you.

@JL11775 2 года назад

Fun trip down memory lane! I remember Katie’s studio makeover as the one that got me interested to watch more from your channel and I’ve been following ever since. Thanks Alexandra and Team AG!

@rulu3345 2 года назад

The plastic trowel LOADED with drywall compound had me DYING!!! Look how far you have come team AG!!! Well done. Also, the esthetics and styling were always quite good in my humble opinion, nothing to be embarrassed about here :) Thanks for sharing!

@jacquelinecasey1361 2 года назад

I really needed a close up of James shoes…the slight glance made me want more!!! Fun video, glad you could laugh at yourselves.

@j.amberpetree5032 2 года назад

I want to know more about James’ shoes, too!!

@sylviathoma532 2 года назад

This is the best. Wasn't expecting to laugh so hard on a Saturday morning! I give it 10 heart decals out of 10!

@nancytatz5254 2 года назад

OMG... James... I started screaming when he poked his head around in front of the camera. He is so warm and friendly. Keep up the great work Team AG!

@savagebeautystudio 2 года назад

This is such a fun video! 😍I love the interaction between you, Carla and James. Would love to have a part II to this!! 🙌

This wasn't about the make-overs for me but how much it was fun looking at you guys being honest and laughing. Loved it. Good job!

@karencarecadapan-cruz3620 2 года назад

I'm happy to see this channel grow in what it is right now. I remember when I first discover home primp I was searching for some budget friendly ideas for my studio apartment in RU-vid and I came across to your videos and watch all of them.

@osmtirmi 2 года назад

@brontesaurusrex7235 2 года назад

I really like your kitchen makeover for your current apartment. The space came out beautifully, and something about you working together with your dad was just really nice.

@mechel203 2 года назад

This was so funny Alexandra! I just left the hospital yesterday and this video had tears running down my face over the curtains and the stove comments. You must do more of these reviews. James keeps it so real, but is very kind and hilarious with his constructive criticism. I love seeing all three of you laughing together, it seriously made my day!! Thank you for this happy gift today.

@DanikaBasista 2 года назад

pretty sure you three have the most amazing banter chemistry. Love seeing James and Carla! Really fun video

@susanlaude8969 2 года назад

My favorite makeover is James's. I really liked how it turned out, and James had the best reveal EVER!! I still go back and rewatch it, because it makes me happy!

@dianeandbrad529 2 года назад

This was so fun to watch and is such a great reminder that everyone starts somewhere (usually not naturally immediately perfect) but we so easily forget that. We think oh, I can’t do that because I am not as good as ___. But we need reminders of where other people started and also the reminder of dedication and consistency really makes a huge difference over time! 💕

@sarahdiana1081 2 года назад

My favourite makeover is by far the beige/ brownisch studio makeover. I was so thinking it would look horrible anyways but you really made it beautiful. Only thing I hated there was the overheadboard of the bed. It was beautiful on it's own but too over the top in that specifiek situation. Can't wait for more to see in 2022!!

@susannem6192 2 года назад

That was amazing, Gina! And what a blessing in disguise being let go proved to be for you three. Thank you for another year of great content and Happy Holidays!

@rebeccadurston2973 2 года назад

The first one that you reacted to is still one of my favorites you've ever done 💜 Also if you put "it looks really really amazing Gina" on a shirt I will buy it!

@PromisedJubilee 2 года назад

And also, I really loved watching how you've grown as a designer, Alexandra. So good. Funny AND inspiring.

@KasSommers 2 года назад

I've been watching you since the home primp days and remember all of those makeovers. I'm so glad you three are still together and can have a good chuckle at the early days.

@clsaloha1100 2 года назад

Watching the three of you laughing so hard was such a joy! Thank you for sharing this. Freaking wonderful and LOVE James and Carla!

@artxlife7236 2 года назад

my fav makeovers are your kitchen makeover, both at the treehouse and at the new place. they always inspire me and I just think you have a special knack for making kitchens really homey, elevated, and functional. Thanks for all the laughs this episode! My dad is visiting and he kept asking what I was laughing at 😂

@SivanIlan 2 года назад

This was SO FUN to watch ❤️ especially since I’ve been following since home primp days! Here’s to growth and learning as you go by DOING 🙌🏼

@itsMeeeeeh 2 года назад

Love any AG video with James in it. Like he is such a mood!😊 Also, I think those “failed” makeovers deserve a redo, especially that one with a few extra curtains. Seriously, Gina! What were you thinking?!🤣 Those spaces were kind of her “guinea pig”, test subjects so to speak at the start of her career. Think of it as redemption, AG! Redemption!😄

@annaryan4803 2 года назад

It was fun to laugh along with you. I remembered every video you shared. It's been so rewarding to watch you grow in your craft, over the last few years.

@GardenerPhyl 2 года назад

I love you and your crew. Thanks for the opportunity to laugh along with you. I love your transformations, especially when there are cringe worthy moments while looking back.

@GradKat 2 года назад

So many great makeovers! You have influenced my interior decor a lot.

@alyssapappas3445 2 года назад

I am CRYING. The spackle part had me 💀💀. It’s so hard to pick a favorite video! I love your bedroom and for sure the studio makeovers.

@laurendao4467 2 года назад

This was fantastic! So good to see so much more of Carla and James, too, and to watch you interact more as friends! It’s good yo reflect on where you started and where you’ve grown to be now. ❤️ Have a great holidays, Team AG!

@svenja7308 2 года назад

Loved it! Was like watching this with my friends and laughing so hard like I never did in the last months. Awesome.

@kyliecarver5492 2 года назад

PLEASE do more of these! This was hilarious!! I’ve been watching you since you were on Chatelaine and I remember thinking all of these were 10/10 as they came out. It’s so cool to look back and see how much you’ve grown!

@cindykhrisbarriosbs8148 2 года назад

I have been watching your content since 4-ever and have loved everyone of them. I think we do understand that you are multitasking and the first videos are low budget - but truly - that’s what keeps it relatable. Not everyone has the money to purchase nice items nor do we know how to use tools. Love the reflection. Keep up the great work. 🎀

@dianeangelo2227 2 года назад

So much fun to watch! The laughter was contagious, I caught myself laughing outloud with you and James.🤣 You have an awesome team to work with and James you are so freaking funny.. Happy holidays to all of you, stay humble and stay safe!

@threemusketeers4109 2 года назад

As Alexandra would say, “You guys”! Such a fun video. Love to see the growth. And I think it is wonderful to see real vulnerability of looking back and seeing how you have grown! 5 Pom Poms out of 5! ♥️

I had fun watching this and kept thinking how far you've come and honestly admire how you persevered to make your dreams come true. It's so good when we can laugh at ourselves and keep moving forward and learn from the past. Thanks for making my day.

@mamalovesthebeach437 2 года назад

So much fun to see this from the beginning again! It would be great for everyone to visually see where you started. 1/2 a can of putty for two holes...I died! 🤣Gawd...I remember the gap in the cabinets.😖 but the apartment turned out beautiful! 🤩What a great team you have Alexandra! LOVE Carla's haircut! Thanks for a fabulous year of ideas and inspo! xxoo

@juliatj6022 2 года назад

i was laughing so hysterically that my husband came to check whether am ok)))) James is so much fun ))

@kriscox4019 2 года назад

Ok I was hesitant of watching this only because often reaction videos can bash the wrong things and sometimes make people feel worse about tackling their own DIYs. HOWEVER, this was a gem to watch. It was a great trio to watch. Thanks James, Carla and Gina!

@cartwheelsinthezendo 2 года назад

Thanks for the very funny video. Whoever suggested doing it gets a bonus and a pay raise! It was great to hear about the history of the three of you working together before there was an official Team AG. More of this kind of content please!

@twilde3754 2 года назад

Alexandria, I love this studio video! Yep, I became addicted after that one. And, per normalcy, your tastes have changed as you've been more immersed in the world of decor, and aged a bit. No longer Urban Outfitters-ish, but definitely Alexandra! Love it!

@lifeofaimee6259 2 года назад

wow, I'm in giggles watching this - do another one sometime! I remember all these videos. I loved to see more of Carla's personality on camera. Team AG, you deserve your well earned holiday - see you in 2022

@djsutherland877 11 месяцев назад

Now that I'm an empty nester, I wanted to makeover my rental apartment too. I have never watched these earlers videos before. I just wanted to give you 10 points for putting up these videos and reviewing them critically. You have such a good spirit to be able to laugh at your older makeovers and handle constructive criticism is healthy. My daughter's name is Katie. Now that she's moved out, I love anything good that uses the same name. It makes me so happy. Hope to meet you someday.

@ryleesinclair8767 2 года назад

This was fun to watch. I do remember the awesome small studio and how lovely you made the lighting. Also I remember thinking the spackling was funny too, but I just think it in wonderful to be fearless like that so the rest of us have courage! Makeovers should be fun and you def. make it fun! Thanks for showing the people who helped to make it!
