Thanks for the warning. Also i dont get the concept of online psychology because if someone really needs help for real then they need to see a live person. and if it is something not that serious you might as well check free youtube testimonials and talk to a friend or neighbor. But i never checked so i wouldnt know except that many years ago i did a minor in psychology at university and they said online psychology doesnt work for many reasons.

@TheLoveweaver Күн бұрын

@@addhoc256 that isn't true. I live in NYC and the commute from work, school to home for many is time-consuming and grueling, also many do still work from home now. Where I live I'd have to travel 40 mins to get to the therapist of my choice, so I really appreciate online therapy. Also my partner was able to work from home all through his chemotherapy. By helping others it kept his spirits up as he focused out and was still able to be a productive member of society and still help his 22 clients per week, so I guess I've experienced another side of online therapy and understand why it's so popular now. I don't use Better Help but on a whole I'm not against it at all.

As a 61-year-old grandmother, I marvel at how styles cycle through. I see so many references to the decor of the late 80’s-90’s in this space and I’m blown away that anyone could revel in it. But that’s just how it goes from generation to generation. I’m sure that my mother would have been surprised by the amount of love that’s been recently shown for the midcentury modern aesthetic. She was glad to see that style leave but I think it’s great. I think Alexandra accurately recreated the look and it’s lovely to see such a delighted homeowner! I love James’ funny editing touches!!

I'm cracking up, too, because as a 41 year old this was basically what my bedroom looked like between the ages of 7-12. LOL! I was all about those florals, lace, ruffles, and frills. Somehow this space looks amazing, though! It's definitely not exactly my aesthetic but I'm more maximalist than minimalist so a little is totally ok with me.

Seriously, watching this reveal again, I just don’t understand how you do it. This is such an art. You could have a television show, product line and coffee table books. You are absolutely one of the most talented designers out there. Particularly considering that you have to work within tight constraints of time, space, and money. There are lots of wonderful designers who make similarly beautiful spaces, but that’s when the sky’s the limit in all categories.

Hi Alexandra & Team! I’m 60 years old and fascinated by your Studio and Tiny Space makeovers! Next year I’ll be downsizing from a 2 bed/2 bath apartment to a basement studio and I’m both excited and NERVOUS! I’ve never lived in a studio before and I’ve already started to declutter ruthlessly. Your videos have given me so many ideas as well as laughs-you and your team have such team spirit and authenticity. 💜

@justtanja7327 13 күн бұрын

I've lived in studio apartments most of my adult life. And it is so much fun creating spaces in such a small space. Remember you can use tall bookshelves as walls. You can paint or use peel and stick paper on the back side and use it as a divider, and hang pictures on i. t Bookshelves in general are great dividers. So are dressers. That is just one idea. There is so much you can do in a small space. I am always surprised at how much i never need a couch. We always end up at the round dining table. Somehow food is always involved. Good luck to you.

Alexandra, This room make over is beautiful! In the 1980s my favorite color was Dusty Rose so that tells you my age and this beautiful paint color is the new dusty rose for our current era. For the last 30 years I am into Jefferson Blue and Patriotic by Ralph Lauren but, it may be because I live in VA and history is at my door step. About 5 years ago my nephew who works and lives in NYC (graphic designer) has me interested in turquoise for clothes and jewelry but as for decor, drapes, etc I love the darker tones of blue and I love sage green. I have an Amish oak fire place on wheels but if I am in my own condo (goal by this Fall) I would love to beef up the fire box surround with a beautiful tile and a higher mantle top. Since I was a child at my grandmother's 1800 built house I have always loved bookshelves on each side of the mantle and my Dad lives in a 1929 built bungalow and they have bookcases on each side too. Right now I am currently renting a 1940 flat that is 610 square foot and even though I am hoping not to live here for a long time I really want to make it look nice. Since I moved in I haven't invited anyone over but my new goal is for a surprise party for my Dad for his bday June 15th. I have so much to do as I am still full of boxes and my storage unit is packed. I may go and by some nice fabric and nice wood and stain the boards as make shift shelves on top of all my packed boxes. I am greatly overwhelmed and the organizing companies will only come if I had a 2 bedroom. Working 11 hour days at my job leaves me pooped by the time I drive home which is a 45 min job. Every video of yours is wonderful and you ALWAYS give me inspiration. On another note, I wonder if these trolls have a KZfaq channel close to a mill subscribers and a wonderful published book? I bet not! I think if you wore a flour sack dress and ribbons in your hair made out of toilet paper you would still be beautiful. I loved Instagram when I first set up my account. It was a wonderful outlet for me as I have always been a loner. I have never had a nice female friend to hang out with. My Mom passed away from cancer in 2021 she was my flee market, yard sale, coffee cafe , church buddie. The last 4 months I have so many negative people giving me their 2 cents on Instagram. I am not rich but I am a saver, I am not a bragger. I still wear Kasper suits from college days to my job and church. My favorite store is Home Depot to raid the free wood pile and I love hardware stores. I have been beading since I was 9 sewing since I was 5. I like to fix my own cars if it's something I am able to do. I made a cool necklace a couple years ago out of engine oil seals because they are copper. I am interested in things others are not. We live in a free land thank God. I wanted to tell one troll one day that when they point a finger at someone, they have 3 coming back at them. For now I have left Instagram. I guess I have let the trolls win. I will just enjoy KZfaq channels such as your's and craft videos and get going on my little place. Have a wonderful evening, Rebekah

What did you do with the cool painting that was there in the beginning?! I loved that so much!! Great transformation though 👍

I LOVE the ford bronco shirt!!! The scallop wallpaper trim was the perfect finishing touch to round off the Grandma chic vibe - it makes me think of gingerbread houses. I’d imagine it’s a bit challenging to install, but it was totally worth the effort here. Finally, some Dave appreciation. His painting skills are superb and it really adds another level of professionalism to the AG makeover. The blue toned pink paint was really lovely in this makeover.

Graham is a genius! That fireplace! ❤ I love what y’all did with the walls. The scalloped wall paper is such a cute touch. The colors, rug, furniture, decor, curtains-nailed it! 🩷

Disappointed in the continuous Better Help sponsorship and covering the gorgeous green marble. The rest of the room is super cute! I think trying to do an inherently collected and curated style in 2-3 days will always be an uphill battle. Of the eclectic and grandmillennial chic rooms you've done, this has been the best by far. I am definitely thinking of ways to use that pink color in every room!

This makeover is amazing with so many things to look at. Young people like the vinage style and older generation want modern. Styles will mix and match thanks to designers like you. Great job Alexander.

I agree. This look was popular in the late 19th century and early 20th century. It was popular again in the early 80’s and has been popular again a few years now. I’m 70 and really like modern decor.-Susan

@ginacrusco234 12 күн бұрын

Love: fireplace, thrifted chair, gold sofa, wallpaper, TV art, framed print, wall color, mantle lamp. Work fine: coffee table, rug, floor lamp, bookshelves. Would have chosen differently: curtains, pillows, Bambi ceramic. Overall -- a delicious confection, and the client seems thrilled.

Great makeover but I don't like those pink striped shower curtains looks cheap. The ironing board seats upholstery or the bathroom tile looking fireplace. I'm inspired every time I see your makeover. Inspired both of great and not so great ideas. Keep em coming ❤

What grandmother has all these patterns & colors, pink walls, & pink striped curtains?

Mine did, although not necessarily all at the same time. She was born in England in the 1930s. Lots of florals, patterns, and rich colors. Stuff that takes half a century to collect.
