@TheBeautifulTruthh 3 жыл бұрын

do you mean like an L shape across both walls like the little condo office nook she recently uploaded?? that would be a really cool adaptation!

@AlexandraGater 3 жыл бұрын

I wanted all the shelves to be hung at varying lengths to add some style!

@charlottemclean6130 3 жыл бұрын

Totally agree. The gap between the end of the middle shelf and the one below it was really bothering me. I did wonder if Alexandra was going to put a lamp or something taller than the gap in the shelves to fill in the vertical space but without something like that my eye is just drawn to that empty space. Also if the middle shelf were longer his book collection would have space to grow, which is definitely needed if you love books!

@pamelap.123 3 жыл бұрын

Agree, there is wasted space. I think a table next to the bed would be more practical than the curved bookshelf, so a glass of water and a lamp could be placed there, but the hanging light may be enough.

@tracygarrett3952 3 жыл бұрын

I know I'd be banging my hand on the shelf every time I switched the light on and off. Hopefully, he's more coordinated!

Just wanted to tell you - been spending every second on politics (election here in U.S.), and while I was happy with the outcome of the presidential election, my tension level and anxiety were extremely high. Saw you had a new video up, started watching and 2 minutes in I could feel the tension draining away. Thank you for doing these fun, happy, cheery and peaceful videos. Not only do I learn from them but also they soothe my tired soul. Give Lottie (Lotty?) a hug from me.

Beautifully made-over and I love that you used a lot of their own pieces rather than buying everything new. I'd love to see these makeovers become cruelty-free and using something like plant-based leather or another material instead of someone's skin.
