I agree with the other comments! As a long time viewer I’ve also seen the insane creativity, design, and just Heart Graham puts into the projects! He’s a total backbone of the team, for new viewers especially the title of just “handyman” seems to downplay just how sick he is! As cute as the nickname Handyman Graham is 💖💖
It was the bird lampshade that made me subscribe years ago. But the one thing that always bothered me was how do you keep the birds clean? They must be a real dust magnet, especially the felting and I am housework challenged! 😂
@@wilmaknickersfit Maybe you could try 'canned air'? A lot of people use it to dust computers and stuff like that so it would just blow the dust off :)
Lovely! The colors! The carpets! Alexandra did you know that cats don’t like their water source next to their food. It’s because they’re carnivores. Also, if they eat kitty biscuits they’ll need at least 2 water sources. And (last one she whispered), cats don’t like deep bowls for food, because of ‘whisker burn’. Their whiskers are very sensitive. In our home we converted to beautiful antique (not cracked but totally intact and functional) saucers when our vet told us this, and the kits are so happy with them. The first few days of the change they purred while eating. 🥰🐈🌸
But it's the teamwork of Alexander & Graham that is working and pushing each others creative juices that's so marvelous productive that we're enjoying the fruits of their great brains syncing together ❤️
I love Alexandra styling, designing, cool ideas for her homes and her team are all wonderful they all work hard as a great team. But it would be also great of Graham as his own channel like doing most of the "behind-the-scenes" of all the craftsmen that he had done in AG's channel, would love to know more details on how he makes them 😅
100% agree. I love AG and the team. But would love to get more time with Graham, his brain just has such a fun and creative way of thinking. His problem solving, creativity and ingenuity is a joy to watch. Even if he doesn't post much, doesn't want to talk in the videos or do voice overs, only posts shorter videos, does little or no editing, etc etc etc I'd still subscribe and still watch them all. PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN GRAHAM AND TEAM AG!!! I really want to see more found object/street trash projects and builds. Raccoon found upcycle art and furniture projects are totally my jam!
Every time we get to see the apartment again, I see something I hadn't noticed before that inspires me. So this full house tour is a real treasure trove of inspiration.
I love your channel, the crew and the constant giggles, your brilliant ideas, Graham's incredible talent, your lovely home, and those adorbs cats. Watching is pure fun!!
Your home is just so lovely. So many beautiful and functional details. That bird cage light is a keeper; I love it. The three oriental rugs going up the stairway is such a genius idea. I love the way you think outside the box. Your colour scheme is perfect.
I swear, more than half of the things would not exist if he wasn't there . The production value that he brings to the table is by far the most! I hate when he's just the handyman when most of the times he's the one who designs it from scratch and then builds it
He's incredibly good and is a lovely person. But the vision for the spaces comes from Alexandra -- she's so smart to communicate that vision and then let Graham take off with it to create unique features.
That was a fun video. Thanks for sharing your home with us and it’s completion. Thanks for what you said sometimes you had to redo a room work on it till you got it the way you really liked. I need it to be reminded of that I’m still working on my bedroom trying to get a chest right. You all are amazing, thank you for a such great Contant.
BEAUTIFUL! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! I think I've seen every vid on the reno and all the DIY's - it was fun to have an actual tour and see the entire layout. Your aesthetics and style have grown, Alexandra; sophistication with a touch of whimsy! YES! That way, nothing is overly formal or too serious. Love Team AG!!! Have a blessed day and a fab weekend! xxoo
You have a wonderful home. You're lucky that Graham is able to put into reality your visions and he helps you do this awesome makeovers. I love your wonderful job, go AG team!
I think she said he’s the handyman cause he calls himself handyman Graham. And I kinda like handyman over carpenter or something similar because he’s more a Jack of all trades, not just focused on one thing
@@sarahwenger4479 Love Graham, the ultimate Handyguy. Alexandra, Your apartment is beautiful. So glad I'm not the only one who does things over and over, but your process has helped me.
What a wonderful opportunity for both the landlords and Alexandra! She has permission to create her own environment and the landlords get the benefits of these remos! It's an upgrade for them, so I hope she doesn't have to remove anything if they move.
I think for some of us how our home looks feels like a reflection of our self respect and if you’re artistic like Alexandra it goes into overdrive! If you have that vision of how a space could be AND you live there, it’s really hard to ignore it. Before I bought my house I lived in 10 different rental places. Everywhere I went, I always fixed up the garden and entrance and made the whole interior as clean and as nice as I could - with my limited skills and money! I see lots of rental houses where the gardens are trashed and the outsides look dirty, cluttered and uncared for. Possibly the tenants keep the insides nice, I dunno. But I just couldn’t come home to a place that looked trashed. I just have to fix it up.
Beautiful and so you! Love that you still have your things from 5+yrs ago that you have always had in your appartements and we also associate with you eg the bird light shade.
have been watching you for about 5 to 6 years with my daughter and you really helped me to find my happy place and space and be unapologetically myself and I want to thank you for that. I love your new changes to your space. the cat bed? did you make that or buy it? I love it , it's beautiful and really fits in the space in the bedroom and compliments it.
I was beginning to wonder if Noah was still around because ... well, more and more pink has crept in & Noahs name was mentioned less. But, I guess he's just finally relented and gone to the pink side ❤
There are shades of "pink" that are gender neutral and the choices Alexander has chosen are most diffinately liked by both ..love how the entranceway came out absolutely 💯 gorgeous and makes everything so welcoming and the stained glass window has become a star with the color on the wall...I'd would LoVe living there.. Since last seeing Noah's office, there has really been a huge change and I've watched your Ikea hacks in there as well.. furniture has evolved many times.. but what you get now is beyond words with your artistry and space skills &, Graham carpentry expertise perfection in creating those ideas has become mind blowing wow what a team you make.
In my opinion ... colours have no gender, I was commenting on the fact that initially, Noah wasn't fond of the colour pink. In the 1700s European men wore pink, as a sign of wealth and power.
OMG, a "Home" out of Architecture Digest Magazine. Just at Awe, so Charming, Calm, and Serene. Just Beautiful. Definably has changed since the Treehouse Apt. That was Fun, Cute and Dreamy. You have such talent. Love seeing your style evolve through the years. Still a fan of Are you going to "Buy it or Diy It" Do a reboot. You and Danie are an awesome duo. Who knows who would win now. It would be so much fun to watch. Let's bring it back you guys....
I love seeing your solves to the practical and functional parts of your home like the pet food area, the laundry room, bathroom, and etc. So so gorgeous and functional!
Love your place, Alexandra!! ❤ So pretty, light and airy!! Comfy cozy ✨️! You're so talented 💖! And your cats 🐈 😻 are beautiful! Always look forward to your videos.
A home that looks so cosy, like a big hug. I like your recommendation of the material black out blinds in your bedroom. My husband and I moved to a new house over a year ago and we bought metal/plastic venetian blinds for most of the windows, however, I have tried dusting all the slats once and I haven't tried since. I wondered if the material ones you have can be washed, because this would be sooooooo much easier to freshen them up than having to wash hundreds of slats to get the dust off? Thank you.
This is an inviting home for guests, or for Alexandra and Noah at the end of a working day, complete with welcoming cats. There are so many beautiful details, but my favorite is the cats' baignoire. I am now on the hunt for a similar facility for my felids.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I LOVE OLD HOMES! I live in a building that has three apartment units and I'm on the bottom floor (one of my best friends is on the second floor) it's pretty awesome! My building was built in 1895!
Great to see that your landlords allow you freedom to redecorate. Bonus for them for sure! Do they pay, or help pay for any of the materials? Does it all stay behind if you decide to move?
There a lots of people who are saying things about Graham, but he is not even in the video! This video is about Alexandra's home which is so beautiful. I wish I could live there! I love watching always your team on my TV, Graham is very nice and does very nice work but all the other people do very nice work too! The team is all females, and the one man can't be all the attention! My favorite is Carla, you and her make jokes like sisters! And Amanda is like the mother of team AG with the tough love but still love. And Alanna too she is so quiet like a mouse but I think she is the secret funny one. The quiet mouse is always the most funny! I always want to see the people working hard in the office too but I know that they are not in peoples home for the makeover so I understand. Team AG is like a big family that is always being nice and laughing with each other and I think all of the family together is why us watching in our homes love the show so much. All of you are stars like in Hollywood and I wish for you more and more success. You deserve it so much!!! Love from Lisboa
This comment makes me SO HAPPY (and not because you said I'm your favourite 😜) but because this is so very accurate to what we all feel on this team... and I'm just so happy that it translates this way to you @maria_fatima1965 🥰 You get the vibe perfectly!
Thank you for this comment. I'm new to AG, but I feel like some people must come to her channel to knock her down a peg, but they clearly follow her. She appears to be the leader. Her name is on this channel, so I'm sure she wears a lot of hats and does work we will never see. It's sad to see someone so talented be picked apart so much. Fortunately, she gets lots of love as well. I've learned so much in just a few days. I'm glad they work so well as a team. It's evident in their work.
Your home is so beautiful love your style I was here for every makeover including the living room space if you know u know!! it all came together really nice!!
The best compliment anyone could give, “I wouldn’t change one thing in your home. It’s all so gorgeous, and perfect and livable.” I’ve never even thought this in 70 years, until I saw what you’ve achieved here. 🎉🎉🎉❤
Your home is decidedly feminine, and I love the color pink in its many hues. I love design and decorating myself - it must be hard to compromise - does Noah feel that he is part of the process, or does it not matter that much to him? If you're anything like me, that pole between your kitchen and living room would bug me - have you come to accept it and love it - or do you secretly wish it could be taken down and replaced with a thick chunky light wood beam?! Thanks for your home tour, I always love to see everything - especially love your kitchen. I don't mind the bathroom tile in and of itself, but I see how with your tastes it's not your favorite. What about lightening the grout lines - that may be easier than switching out the tile. Your patio - I would love to see a 'refresh' on that area this Spring - I have a few ideas!!!
Loved watching your AG home tour! I've been watching since the pink couch made it's debut in the treehouse and have love watching your style and talent evolve!
The apartment looks great! Your landlord really lucked out having you as a tenant! Having Graham to bring your visions and ideas to fruition is so fortunate! I would call Graham a very well rounded, very talented artisan/craftsman. He is also so humble which is
I live in an apartment with a hall way from the entrance and that ikea shoe holder would be perfect . You are always so inspiring and I needed this reminder cause we got a line up of shoes in the hall .
Please do some small stairway areas from garage to basement. I thought it interesting you had a rail/balister on the wall of your entrance stairs; it works. Is that code acceptable too?
The bathroom tile is really nice imo. The fake tile in my rental is a dark green that is starting to peel up. A nice white neutral must be really lovely in the winter. Also, I think you could fit a second litter box in that bathroom. Less Litter Earth makes really nice ones. Love how much storage you have!!!!
I love your home guys! I’m glad Noah is ok with all the pink accents and lets you do your thing. It’s so serene and comfy looking and after a long day that’s what you need; a sanctuary! Great job as always Team AG 🩷
Thanks for the tour! 💚 I've seriously thought through the years, that you guys just move a lot. I never thought all these rooms belonged into the same house 😂
I love how every space of your house is happy like you!!! My husband and I are buying our first youse, and I wish we have some “Alexandra” close to us in Boston! 😰 we love to watch your YT videos, you make look so easy(but it is not, it’s and amazing talent that you guys have) 🥰🥰
I think handyman is a perfect title, it's an actual job title! It means he's competent in SEVERAL trades, and can accomplish an entire renovation start to finish with his knowledge and tools. I think you have a negative connotation of the word, but it's a positive word. 🤷🏼♀️🥰 She's CONSTANTLY hyping up Graham and talking about how creative he is, and how much he sources from up cycling! LET'S BE POSITIVE QUEENS! 💜🎉✨
Titles are important these days why else do we struggle and educate ourselves to achieve them & the mandatory income & benefits thal recognition brings if titles don't bring rewards.. they pave the way to a better future with more recognition and protégé. That's my perspective and if one achieves a great talent don't they want to be recognized for it.. Doctors don't want to be called nurses after achieving that title do they? Your a designer and recognized as one but do you want to be called less than that ? That's my point ...
I just went to check his social media to see HIS personal preferred title. His literal username is HandymanGraham. Maybe just hype people up, instead of creating a negative false narrative. 🤷🏼♀️💜
Your house looks lovely, enjoyed watching each of your videos. I just watched an old one where you were trying to cut the plain edges off of wallpaper and have a helpful hint. Get a rotary cutter and cutter board. Use a rotary ruler and you will get a lovely smooth and straight cut. I use it to cut wallpaper and anything else I am going to do. You can get the cutting boards in all sorts of sizes and a 24 x 18 should be big enough. You can also cut your wallpaper to the required length. Rotary cutters revolutionised home sewing and even beginners can cut fabric nice and smooth without the choppiness scissors often give.
Haha reading the comments and said YES! We all see the amazing talent of Graham! I have said it before and will repeat it again “ WHATEVER would you do without Graham?” The man is a genius.. patient and kind come across too. Your home is beautiful! I will forward to my sister who lives in Toronto in a fabulous old apartment on Avenue Rd. Her landlords are pretty easy going about her painting stuff. She uses bold colours and has very interesting furniture choices. Wonder if she might qualify for one of your makeovers… except it’s a bit bigger than your usual spaces. I am in Houston and love to open the windows during our winter, 😂😂 and really enjoy every episode I find, see bits of Canada and hear “owt” instead of “aut”. ( love the southern Texas accent too such fun). You have incredible talent and soothing style. Love it! And I WANT that bird lamp! Hmmm a DIY for Graham for the channel perhaps????? ❤❤❤ Great 🎉cats too!
I think that you’re getting a lot for your money, particularly in the Toronto region (I’m in Mississauga). I also understand that you’ve made a lot of improvements to the space, so it’s win-win for you and your landlords. There are units the size of mine in my condo building (759 sq ft) for $3000+, which I think is nuts. I’m glad that you have such a lovely, comfortable place to live.👍🏻😘🇨🇦
Looooooove your entire apartment! 😍 I’m dying to know how you keep your cats from destroying your furniture and plants. Both of my cats will not stoooooop!
