I think we all can agree an accurate description of Graham is, a renegade artist posing as your friendly neighborhood handyman.
Justice for Graham please 😂 He is truly an artist and way more than a handyman.
I totally agree. I know Alexandra value him more than the label “handyman.” He is an artist.
I don’t think handyman is anything negative!
@@SemesterAtSeaHopeful the comment is meant in good fun. He is the Graham-of-all-trades and being a handyman is truly a gift.
@@mariapajamas Not all are created equal tho..haha. But he is truly one of the best I've seen!!!
Graham is the Picasso of wood works.... He deserves a well honoured title
Graham is a ~craftsman~ like in prestigious guilds of yore
Though, let’s be real: AG > AD any day of the week. 🙌
It's the only architectural/interior design show I wait impatiently for.
Is your dine table oval?
Graham is an extraordinary woodworker, artist and Jack of all trades.
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 💖💖
Lovely home and cats!!! What a win/win for you and your landlord!
Also, petition to call Graham "Craftman Graham", he's way over a handyman at this point. Most of the renos wouldn't be as amzing without him.
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.
Graham needs his own channel, he is so talented.
My thoughts exactly! I would immediately subscribe!
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!
Handyman is great but it seems wrong description/title for this talented young man. 😊
Graham isn't a handy man, he's the "Handiest Man".
*Gentle table flip* Alexandra, Graham is an ARTISAN!
I still love the bird light. Wish it was mine.
She did a diy video three years ago. You could try and make it!
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! 😂
I got a vintage birdcage and made one for my daughters nursery at the time... but it's more floor lampshade size it was so easy and fun
@@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 :)
@@michelleweird That's a good idea - thanks! 👍
Graham is most definitely a craftsperson.
And a very cute one!!!!😅😅
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. 🥰🐈🌸
Well, i didnt know that...explains why one water bowl empties faster than the other. 😊
Glad to find this comment! Also two cats should have at least 2 litter boxes, ideally 3.
You and Graham are awesome! Graham is worth his weight in gold. Wish you were here.
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 also so fortunate! I would call Graham a very well rounded artisan/craftsman.
the Architectural Digest esque home tour we’ve all been waiting for!
Omg that emoji!
Without the name dropping 🎉❤
Only if you looovvvveeee pink.
@@lauriebriggs9705
Lol, which I don't. Poor Noah
Nice to see a walkthrough of so much effort-hope you and Noah are enjoying the calm the home affords you 🤍🩵🩷
Graham is your super cool calm genius!
Graham is a treasure.
“I live here with my two cats and my partner” is exactly how I say it too 😅 #priorities ❤
*four, but yeah ....... 😄😄😄😄
She has her priorities exactly right!! The cats, the partner.
@@jamiejoygatto oops, how did I miss four?! Even better!!! 🤭
@@dianebeattieee hehee i have four 🎉 yay!!!
@@katbar6066 💯
So many beautiful things in your home. The IKEA hacks are so good. I have to say though one of my favorites is the carpeting on your stairs. Beautiful. But, everything is just lovely.
Graham needs and deserves a better, stronger title. Carpentry director? Idk but something of importance. Love you and the team, and your home❤
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
Director of creative operations
Director of Design Implementation!!!
@@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.
You just increased the value of that home for the landlord.
I was thinking, why would you do that for something not yours and pay that much rent.
@@cajbaf She literally makes money off every reno bc they are posted on youtube and usually have sponsors. It's a win win.
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 wonder if she does renovations in other apartments in the building or her landlords 🤔
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.
The look on that cats face at the end was priceless.
Yes, at the very very end, you see the kitty cat very shocked with lipstick on his furry pout!! :) hee hee
I second 🙋🏼♀️all the commenters who have been saying that Graham’s artistic craftsmanship deserves a better title than Handyman to reflect his genius.
Craftsman
Master carpenter is what Graham is
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 and exceptional artisan/craftsman.
To describe Graham as a “handyman“ is the biggest understatement I’ve ever heard! I’ll call him more of a designer and master carpenter…
It says a lot. Alana is her architect (?), Amanda (is it Amanda?) is the office manager, the guy that edits the videos is the video editor, and Graham is the handyman??? The handyman??? 😱 That's not a title you obtain at school... It's rather something an immigrant might end up doing when he cannot find a job in his true profession. Is this his title in the contract he has with Alexandra? Yes, it's her creativity and ideas that Graham brings to life. But handyman? I wonder if Alex is an Enneagram type 3... this is something type 3s might do when they are operating at an average state. I might be wrong but she does come across as a type 3. If she is a type 3, calling Graham her "handyman" makes total sense especially given the amount of love we all give him. Still like the channel and will keep watching. Don't bother come for me. I said what I said. Love them both.
Graham is a game changer.
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.
If the bird 🦜 lamp had gone, I don’t think I could forgive you. 😂 It’s amazing! The whole place is gorgeous.
I love that bird chandelier
We all need a Graham in our lives. Lucky you!
what a serene, warm, friendly space.. great tour, thank you! and thank you to Carla for capturing this vibe so beautifully.. and Lottie's umbrage at being cuddled at the end 🙂
🥰
You are so lucky to have the landlord you have. Bryan is truly a keeper. And it is thrilling to know that he recognizes the value you have added to his property. ❤
When they eventually move out, the landlords will benefit from the improvements that were made.
I went back to check, I see you got new stainless steel appliances in your kitchen now. They go better with your decor than the old black appliances.
Your apartment is beautifully decorated, I think Graham is very artistic and creative in his own way. I love his work.
I’m OBSESSED with your place ❤ screams Alexandra from all corners and I feel it reflects your personality a lot. It’s simply lovely.
I remember when you moved in and it was a blank slate. It has been fun to watch you transform into these rooms. You have created such a beautiful home! It is so unique, cozy and welcoming. Good job!
You have a beautiful home full of charming details. I think I have watched most of the videos you made during the renovations, lots of great ideas. And I have to agree, Graham is much too talented to be called a handyman. He's a woodworking virtuoso!
Alexandra - You have an absolutely gorgeous home! Have a lovely day. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎤
So nice to get the complete tour having seen all your home projects over the years. That bird light will be with you forever; you’ll always find a place for it.
I used your laundry curtain hack in our AZ condo. The stacked washer dryer seemed "front and center" when you entered the bathroom (plus a view from the hall). A black and white mini striped curtain there is 100% improved!
The home that Graham built 😂
FYI - slumber masks are an awful lot cheaper than getting blackout shades and curtains - and work every bit as well! 🙂
Graham probably doesn’t mind being called a handyman 🤷♀️ he knows he’s a valuable part of the team and gets a lot of appreciation. It takes the entire team to makes these videos possible so shoutout to the entire team for all their amazing work.
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!!
I second this perfect comment!
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!
Agreed, but don't forget James, video editor extraordinaire!
this is the perfect take!!!
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.
Love the birdcage lamp. And rugs up the stairs.
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.
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.
You didn't mention that your friend DIY Danie made the cat-cushion side table in your bedroom. 😕😉
Riiiight! Now I remember! I even watched that vid!
I have really enjoyed watching the complete transformation of your home. It truly is beautiful.
I love the way your home has evolved and come together. So stylish and fresh.
Your home looks so comfortable and welcoming. Beautiful!
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!
You home is ADORABLE. I love all of the unique touches. The AG, AD opener was the best. Keep up the good work.
Your apartment is adorable. So much personality! Lucky cats get to live there!
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.
Isn't it funny how you see someone decorating a room and you think it looks OK then you go n
Back weeks/months later, and it looks so great. And you fall in love with it. Thankyou Alexander ❤
Thanks for the tour!
You didn't say the therapist you went to was from the betterhelp service, wonder why that is 🤔
Enjoyed the tour; thanks for sharing ♥️
Loved this! It’s so bright and cheerful!
The IKEA wardrobes in the storage room are my favorite. It's so sleek and sophisticated
Fun video! So nice to see a complete recap of all the projects you’ve done & shared in past.
Absolutely love your color palette and am obsessed with the multi runner on your entryway stairs.
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!
Thank you for sharing your home with your viewers. It is so nice to see how it has changed over the years.
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. 🎉🎉🎉❤
I just love your space, great job
Every room looks great and they flow together so well!
Love your light and airy but warm and inviting designs. ❤
Absolutely beautiful! What a calm, serene home you have created.
Love it as usual. Thank you so much for all this valuable info.
Your home is gorgeous and calming!!! Thanks for the tour! 😊❤
It all looks great. Very much your own style too.
Sending happy thoughts to everyone.
It’s all so beautiful. You did an amazing job. I’ve loved seeing all the pieces, but seeing the full impact here is incredible.
I’ve been here since your apartment days!! Love seeing your finished home again!! It is lovely!!🥰
I’m so excited love to see new content from Alexandra! ❤
The closet you opened is well organized ❤
Thank you and the AG team for the tour of your lovely apartment. So filled with character! Love your videos. Keep up the wonderful work!
So excited for this oneeee
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
Love your apartment & how it has evolved!!!!
What a joyful home! You balanced it out beautifully in your own style. It looks like a lovely place to live.
Beautiful home! You and your team are extremely talented.
Absolutely Gorgeous!!!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!!!
Wow! I need the pink yellow though. I like the squiggles lol. Love all the available storage.
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!
It’s so pretty without feeling like a display area where you can’t touch anything
Having been a member of your AG family forever, I have seen all the things, good and not so good, I really LOVE this space! You have made it such a beautiful place to live.
Love your work, so talented!
Thank you for showing your home. Love it!
Love, love, love your home!❤Cheers from Ottawa.❤❤❤🌷
Wow!!! Love what you've done. Your color choices are amazing and wonderful.
Well done! 👏🏻. It’s a beautiful, calm and inviting home you created. Love it!!!
the bathroom mirror is GORGEOUS
Just such a great home! I have loved seeing each of these transformations in their videos, but it’s truly a gift to see the whole home at once! Than you!
so beautiful - I could live there!
