I was hoping the bookshelves went up the wall utilizing all of that air space… either floating shelves or something to give her that beauty and the beast large bookshelf feel.

@msdestinoble Год назад

I always wonder if they keep it up the same way

@HereIAm247 14 часов назад

This would be super interesting actually! :) I think people who have a minimal amount of items tend to keep it nicer - and a lot of these seem like they are fairly minimal with their belongings. But having a beautiful space also tend to motivate you to keep it that way - because of the pure joy you feel in the space. So my guess is that most will keep it nice, and maybe make a few minor adjustments over time. Edit: a lot of them was very impractical before the makeover - the after will often have added storage and better layout. Making it easier to keep up. :)

@daniebelle23 7 месяцев назад

Love the space! For a book lover, I think it would've been really cool if those bookcases extended to the ceiling in the design.

Looks beautiful, love the arched wallpapered nook, but wished they had gone with taller bookcases on both sides of bed considering her inspiration pictures had library vibes with ladders and mentioned a beauty and the beast moment of floor to ceiling bookshelves. brass sconses attached to sides for bedside lamps.

@teresacarle294 Год назад

😊Yes! Two tall Billy bookcases with a bridge built across the top to give that cosy library 📚 impression. 😉Bet clever Graham could've 🔨repeated the arches too. Next, added wall💡sconces to the sides of bookcases for reading while in bed. Also a petite ledge (or cube) mounted on each side to stow your phone📱, a pretty trinket dish for jewelry you'd rather not sleep-in, &/or a glass of water💧. 🥺Seems a tragic waste of potential merchandising space from my perspective〰️but I'm also a🏺collector 🖼 as well as an 📖 avid reader 👀. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

@MsPinkston Год назад

You all have to consider the budget. These patrons are paying customers. A designer can only go as far as the budget allows. 😒 the room was totally transformed and renter friendly. Imagine how hard it would be to get larger piece transfixed to one another, broken down, snd ready for transport to another apartment?? I’m jussayin. 😩

@wyogrl11 Год назад

At first I didn’t like the new headboard compared to the old one. But I immediately saw how it diminished the presence of the bed in a lovely way. The bed still has its own presence, but it no longer dominates the space, it blends in with the space.

@victorialove9104 Год назад

Very beautiful. Love that you used the top of an old and broken mahogany piece and made the tops for the sidetables/bookcases. The wallpapered and arched nook is gorgeous and clever. My only criticism, and it's based on personal preference, is replacing the padded upholstered bed with an iron bed. I read in bed a lot and I bet she does too. From experience I can tell you an upholstered headboard is much much more comfortable to rest against while reading in bed. You still have a tendency to prioritize looks over practically and comfort. Design needs to have both. When you master this principle you will really level up your already good work.

@reginaflynn2622 Год назад

I agree!

@heyitsjustme3088 Год назад

I read a lot in bed and have the same ikea bed frame, it’s actually very comfortable with my over size pillows… I use to have a upholstered headboard and it was a pain to clean/ dust I love this one ‘cause I can just wipe it down in a minute no need to hauled out my vacuum 😊

@faithm9284 Год назад

Love the arch, and the top of the bookcases Graham repurposed look beautiful. Graham Rocks! I was hoping the bookcases were going to be floor to ceiling on each side of the bed, or the desk would be moved there for more space she asked for on the call. The after bed looks like a 'before' shot. Her style was so good there wasn't much to improve on. I'll take the 'old' stunning headboard!

@@Misskittenfish71 I interpreted her tone in her reaction comment about clutter as being surprised and PLEASED by how much she liked it even though by her (prior?) standards she would have thought it was cluttered.

@bellaluce7088 Год назад

I totally agree about Seyna having fantastic style to start with! And that arch! Swoon! 😍Even though I love her original cushioned headboard (which would definitely have looked great with tall bookcases on either side), I totally see why bringing in a metal one that's similar to one on her inspiration board made sense, especially given the mirror she also liked and the new black light fixture so the eye travels throughout the space. And having a see-through bed frame and lower shelves allows the blue of her newly painted wall to remain a dominant feature. Given how much the space already had going for it, I actually think they did a great job of incorporating designs she was attracted to and the coziness she specifically mentioned without pushing things too far for a minimalist. And from her delighted comments about it being beautiful and really loving it, I'm guessing she agrees! ; - ) If you look at the before and after of the bedroom, it's actually a pretty major transformation. And the great thing is, if there's anything she decides doesn't like, she can just switch it back (or take it to her school's library). ; - D

The lovely calm palette and the proportions and layout were beautiful to me, especially the way her white upholstered headboard gave a strong color block contrast to the blue wall yet still looked so soft and inviting; how the sideways bookshelf gave a pop of color while subtly unifying the space with that strong horizontal line; and the eye-candy sculptural effect of her lamps and globe backlit by the window. Just gorgeous! She has an artist's eye and talent as an interior designer herself!!! 🎨❤🖌 I love that the makeover found a way to let her live with the dark-painted bookshelves she'd been admiring (with more functional horizontal shelves! ; - ) while adding a TON of new storage space with the sideboard under the window. Too many makeovers REMOVE storage, which is bananas. Putting all the books by the bed struck me as a bit too intense for a bedroom space when I first saw it (even as a book lover!), but they actually really unify the bedroom and living room spaces, and once you're in bed what you're actually looking at is the gorgeous arch nook with soothing blue wallpaper and calming arch. Fabulous! Props for a lovely makeover, and I hope Seyna is enjoying her new home!

Your explanation told us why you always use linen curtains, however, the question was concerning the COLOUR. Linen fabric comes in other colours besides white.

I’m definitely loving this and I haven’t even seen the result yet. You’re team is always doing amazing ❤

@trudysenglishvictorianhome3244 Год назад

WOW!!! What a STUNNING makeover!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩 It looks so rich in the Color Palette!! And that Arch is such a GORGEOUS Statement!!! Well done Team AG!! 🙌. Merry Christmas from Our House to Yours 🏡🎄❄️☃️❄️!!

Lovely job as usual. I would recommend two things regarding the outlet under the desk. I always paint my outlets to make them disappear. (Just use a dry brush and a few coats.) Second, always cut the tags off of any cords. They are unsightly and unneeded. (Who ever reads them? If someone is obsessive about it put them in a ziplock bag, labeled and stored.)

🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍It’s beautiful! 😬lowkey feel she loved it but was kinda expecting the first thing she mentioned during her meeting with Alexandria, the shelves with the latter 😅

@meshiawriter Год назад

Yay! I look forward to new videos so much. This makeover was so awesome, and I love how you guys keep giving these makeovers to teachers after the pandemic.

The book shelf combo is incredible!!! I love the arch, bed, and the color scheme as well. The bed area looks great. I am not a fan of the brown dresser and the mustard green chair. They seem out of place and throw off the color scheme. A black dresser would’ve been better or one of the undertones from the rug or painting above the bed for the chair.

Absolutely people do have opinions and the look is fabulous but if the Renter didn't LoVe it Alexander Would Have Changed it !! ...Then it would have been Different, However She did Love it and That's All that Matters and Either Furniture Pieces Looked Great but that Nook, the Rug the ways She integrated the old to the new and that papered work nook are to me a perfect mix with that Arch added in But Thankfully Our Perceptions Aren't the Renters Because those Mood Boards Sent to this Designer Before it's implications are what Alexander Goes By and I Think She's Upgraded The Space and Fulfilled the Renter's Wishes Esthetically Well 💝 Chef's 💋 Kiss...and so much more storage was added 😘🥰

@flohfantasy560 Год назад

I think this is one of my favourite spaces you have ever done! I especially love the bookshelves and all the blue with the brown woodtones ^^

@evequinterosvargas3296 Год назад

I've been watching AG for over 2 years and this is by far one of my favorite makeovers! Classic & modern; the colors and furnishings look fabulous! See ya in 2023!!!

@heidibee501 Год назад

Wonderful makeover. It took the potential that already existed and enhanced it greatly. It's elegant but warm and cozy. I learned a lot. One of the things l want to try from the old incarnation is tipping my bookshelves so that l can stack my books. I love the cozy nook and many of the individual items are amazing. It all comes together perfectly.

So stunning! Way to go Team AG! I’ve enjoyed your work for going on 3 years now ….wait…has it been almost THREE YEARS?? 🤔 I am constantly inspired and in awe of what magic you do in small spaces, using and repurposing items found or already on hand are some of my favorites. Congratulations on making our world a more beautiful place ❤

I really appreciate Alexandra’s warmth and happy spirit, living her purpose and brining joy into our lives.

@simonemorgenstern6653 Год назад

This makeover genuinely made such a difference - your client will really love living here. LOVE IT!!!

@le_th_ Год назад

Nicely done. Her place was cute and tidy before, but you really took it to a chic, liveable, and comfortable space. You can *never* have enough covered/hidden storage in a studio apartment, so nice job with the few extra pieces you added. Her floors and windows were gorgeous, and the space was very nice, which really helped you guys amp it up in the best way possible.

@CK_1144 Год назад

Love everything in there but that Article piece, which is overpowering. Thanks for these videos -- always enjoy them.

@hennahannnah Месяц назад

It also looks like it’s blocking ventilation.

@jaelpenn8296 Год назад

It was a good beginning layout, and the designer just elevated it so well. The colors, textures, patterns were all so beautiful. This is my favorite makeover so far!

@brittneymccarthy Год назад

Seyna was just so sweet! This is a gorgeous makeover, again Graham has just leveled up these videos with his ingenious and creative creations.

@kymlove2006 Год назад

You never let me down. I am so glad that your show stays true to making decorating, DIYs accessible. I literally have you on my TV list of shows I must watch.

@hayleedavine9822 Год назад

Ohhh I haven’t been so early before! Currently 2.48am here in Aus unable to sleep and finally one of my favourite RU-vidrs uploaded 🎉

@beitheleaf8221 Год назад

That arch, and the dusty blue is magic ❤ this is inspiring me to see what I can try with our tiny old apartment. We won’t be here long but I want it to feel like a home while we are here thank you AG team for the inspo and laughs ❤❤

@SniKenna Год назад

Omgosh. The way the light fixture completely changed the space! Love love love! ❤

@jaimeaugustine9487 Год назад

Good morning Alexandra. My Saturday mornings always start with you, Danie and a cup of coffee. I'm so excited to get my hands on your book! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

@glorial1569 Год назад

Me too !!

@thechellenator 9 месяцев назад

This is a great makeover, but it's a shame you didn't allow her to have full-height bookshelves on either side of the bed. You could have replaced one of the shelves with that same mahogany insert and left enough space open above it to give her a "side table" and then continued with regular book-filled shelves above. Or given her floating shelves above each side table. Librarian's gotta have her books!! (I'm a former librarian, now a book editor, so I get it.)

@anamriaz8895 18 дней назад

I totally agree with you

@anamriaz8895 18 дней назад

I was thinking the same thing

@aliciacatherineegan Год назад

The arch is stunning! Love how you gave her side tables and added that gorgeous sideboard. Such a cool way to level up the space!

@lindawarden-burglund9603 Год назад

Love this space. It was pretty to begin with but lacked coziness and was too sterile. Love the blue, so I was glad you were able to work with it, and the wallpaper was perfect. And that arch!!! Love the bed, the sofa, and the rug! A wonderful job, and this beautiful apartment is truly a place Seyna can call home. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year to Team AG!

Omg the editing in this one is soo awesome!! 😂❤

@claredunn757 6 часов назад

Oh my goodness I just found you on RU-vid. I am moving into a very small apt. Everything is new, I have a small bedroom and then a kitchen that will be my living room and or office space.. Your videos are giving me great ideas. I want nothing more than to make it a special cozy space. Thank you!

@childofdestiny2811 Год назад

Watch your channel all the time and always enjoy it but, this is your best room today! So elegant so balanced. Full of rhythm, but maintaining serenity! Well done!

@rocelymontilla7733 Год назад

Love your channel and the studio fix series. I'm getting so many renter friendly ideas from you, your videos are so fun to watch too. Thank you for your hard work! Merry Christmas and Happy new year!!❤

@jackiedecoma4637 Год назад

Great job as usual! Love how you repurposed old desk top and used to top off bookshelves; the stain is beautiful! Merry Christmas to team AG! Can't wait to see what you guys have planned for 2023. Enjoy your holidays!

@joeb4142 2 месяца назад

I gotta admit that when I saw the beginning sneak peeks of the finished designed and furnished apt I really wasn’t feeling it. But during the final reveal I really loved it. It’s amazing to me how all the disparate elements seem to magically combine to make a very clean, uncluttered, super comfortable studio apt. Another home run!

@marquepoolejewer9427 Год назад

With all the serious stuff I've been watching lately, this was just so refreshingly light and playful and I'm so happy I found this tonight 😁!

@tabbbb15 Год назад

Literally the editing in this video has me crying!!! 😂 Love what all you guys do! You and the whole team are just GREAT!!! 💜

@deborahlundy6892 Год назад

I love the arch and how you cut the book case in two pieces I would have never thought to do that. Team AG you are so good at your job. Happy Holidays to you as well.
