When farmers Cynthia Beretta and her husband, Mike, lost everything in a tragic barn fire, starting over was a daunting and tough task. But with the help of a loving community, they were able to get back on their feet and since then, Beretta Farms has been thriving and supporting farmers all around the country. Recently, they finally moved their headquarters out of the city and closer to home. The problem is, they’ve sort of neglected the catering and online division of their company, which is still located in the city. In her first-ever commercial makeover, Alexandra puts it all on the line with a bold paint color, a barn door and a DIY desk. Will Cynthia like the epic transformation? Watch the episode and find out.

This is pure 100% Grade A prime real estate now. Good job and makes you cheer for the owners for starting over .
The red is so intense. I understand it’s their brand color, but being on all three of those walls was a lot. I thought it clashed with the yellow tones in the wood floor and made my eye go straight up to the ceiling. Sometimes less is more. That said, i loved the decorations you picked and the faux taxidermy was perfect.
Exactly what I was thinking, maybe a white wall or a black wall to contrast with the red walls would have been good.
Did you see $900 in that space though? That's what's getting to me
Exactly! She mentioned going with something that bold in your house would date quickly... why would it be any different in a retail space? It would’ve looked much nicer with most of the walls white and then that one short wall next to the barn door in the bright red. Also side note all of those plants are gonna die??
My thoughts exactly, I think the red on just the wall behind the counter and a nice white on the other two would have been 1000% better. Then get a nice wood sign laser cut of their brand name to put on the red wall.
She even painted the baseboards red 😭
I absolutely LOVE the red walls! It looks fabulous & I think everything goes great together!
Great job ! One suggestion : use a COW BELL at the front counter . Love your work.
Super cute idea!
Julie White I immediately thought this or use a bell that is older or more rustic looking but isn’t to loud or annoying sound
would’ve loved to add a little LED light strip into the island so the products are lit up!!
I was thinking the same. That would lighten the production.
I rarely comment on RUclips but I love bold colors so much I couldn't resist. When we updated our dark 70's style paneled basement that used to have one of those ugly DIY bars and yellowed lights for dingy poker games. We tore out the panel and other reminders of the previous owners poker night and painted everything ultra white and then painted the 24ft wall Giggle Green. Guests are always shocked when they first see the Giggle Green then about a 5 seconds later they always say that they would never be brave enough to paint something so bold it their own homes but it looks awesome with the rest of the space. Now it a bright friendly family space with tv, couch, table and chairs for games, crafts or pizza.
You nailed it Alexandra.. Love when you use such bold colours like red and black and make them work in the space perfectly.
Thanks Hiba!!! Using colour is my fave!
I love this space, it's a 1000 times better than before! And it perfectly reflects their brand, but also make it work for customers.. It looks very inviting! You did such a good job, you levelled up your game! I feel like (feminine) living spaces are your comfort zone but leaving that and slaying it is o bad ass ;)
Well, to go against the other opinions, I liked the dramatic red that this business uses for the entry, its bright and energetic and is a great backdrop for showing there products. Love the black cow on the red wall, its fun and dramatic. I saw the client as being very happy with the result.
As always you killed it. That sliding barn door was absolutely perfect! Fiyahhhhh
this was a tough one... it ended up waaaay better than before and was branded well so that is the positive. The not so cool bits were (for me) finishings - but you may have fixed them. The noticeable ones being: the water stain on the ceiling tile, the holes where the cow horns were and a hole in the wall behind the barn door. I know its picky but things like that take away from your professional finish. Again despite the negative, I think you did excellent and had clever ideas.
Love positive feedback like this. You are telling her what you think but not being rude like many other comments I see 😃👍🏻
At first I absolutely hated the colour of the walls and thought they looked like a "before picture". But seeing it all together in the end, I must say you definitely nailed it 👌🏼
I have a bright yellow hall. When its sunny outside and I open the front door, it's like stepping into the sun. It's my favourite thing about my apartment. I will defiantly paint some part of all my future homes in that same yellow colour☀️
I thought this was fabulous. Huge improvement, and works well for a commercial space.
My leather sectional is candy apple red. My friends and family thought I was crazy. But now everybody loves it.
My father-in-law taught me, when holding a hammer, hold it by the grip. This way, the hammer is working by the weight of of the hammer. When a person is holding it at the top of the handle it is less effective. 🤓🤓🤓Just a little tip from Ervin the cabinet maker. Love your videos!!!!!! Karen
Great job! I love that you used their brand color on all three walls-perfect for their space. The wall with the Angus head, their name, and barn board underneath looks fantastic! I couldn’t tell where you put the blackboard... behind the counter? The only thing I didn’t care for was the plant wall. It seemed too modern/minimal to fit the theme. Normally, I love those wall planters, but in keeping with the “farm” theme, I would have asked Chico to whip up some little barn wood wall boxes, and put faux plants in them like grasses because, well, pasture. :-) Anyway, it’s a beautiful space as is!
I painted a small hallway red. It took 6 coats to get close to the intended red color and not be pink. I had primed over the previous color with white. After the fact, I learned that when you paint a room a dark color, particularly RED, you need to PRIME IN GREY. Ahhh...I took this advice when helping a friend paint her accent wall, and WOW! What a difference it made. One coat of grey primer and two coats of red...done!
I think you did a Wonderful job and the owner was Very happy! Sorry so many negative comments pop up but you are brave and talented. Keep it up and stay safe
I thoroughly enjoy my wall of floor to ceinling turquooise curtains. They are my constant brightness and stand in for the blue sky in winter.
Fantastic job! But my eye keeps going from “Angus” to the water spot right above him. Should have spray painted that one ceiling tile.
I was thinking the same thing, but you have to wonder if you could match the regular paint enough so it doesn't stick out like a big sore thumb?
Or bradite one can on the hole celing it will stick to the tiles and the metal frame they hang on and will seal in the damp stain and be a finish in 2 coates also re coate time is only an hour do you can have the hole thing finished really quickly
Maybe they could move it to a less noticeable place?
This is amazing! I was wondering just how you were going to pull this off - well done! Stylish, professional and welcoming.
Our living room is aquamarine with lime, olive and white. We live in the PNW with a northern exposure so we create our own light and happiness! You did a lovely job.
To go from something that looks like a storage room to a legitimate business is really amazing! What a transformation! Much love from California ❤❤❤
At first I really did not like the red walls. But once you did the reveal video I was pleasantly surprised!
I wish she would’ve stained the counter where the register sits. It just doesn’t look right to me but every thing is so great.
Destiny Purnell agreed!!!
Yes it annoyed me too that she didn’t stain the bench top to match the barn door. And I would’ve painted the side walls white or black to make the back wall pop rather than all red walls. I also would have cut the horns shorter for the bull and retouched the raw edges. And perhaps created a barnwood mount for the bull head. And I agree about the safety aspects. I worked as an OHS lecturer and consultant so the safety aspects are important to follow and demonstrate. Sorry for all the comments. I love what Alex does and enjoy following her.
You nailed it Alexandra 💕 i think this is the best episode of make my space work so far. More episodes to come 😊
Wow! What a big punch for an odd little space.
I was nervous for you with this one with, it being someone's business, but you worked your Alexandra magic as per usual🙌
Love this but I personally would have only painted the back wall, i think it gives it a more mature and classy look.
Or paint the sides but keep the back wall white or neutral. I feel like it makes the space feel too tight and uncomfortable having the colour everywhere...
@@anmmaj93 yeah, and it also makes it feel childish having it all painted
@@greyfoxchild I think my biggest problem is how claustrophobic it makes the space feel to me. Maybe it works irl but doesn't translate to camera well but for me, personally, it's too much
I live the entire space painted Berreta red. It encompasses the client in the space and while that may feel claustrophobic or not mature to some, clients will likely feel the energy it conveys, which is important for a farming operation.
Gina Kay Landis yeah but there are basic design principles that help make spaces feel open and comfortable for people. This makes it feel very closed-in and intense. Doesn’t matter if it’s their brand color. If people associate that space and color with discomfort, it’s not ideal for a brand. Idk. The way it clashes with the yellow in the floors makes it feel super primary to me. It may have been better if the trim was painted white or black to create a visual break from the red and yellow.
Girl this is A-mazing. You really can make everything beautiful ( and more importantly not boring) i love that you give each space something unique of its own.
I LOVED this transformation! I've been binge-watching Alexandras videos the past few days as I just moved and found her channel at the perfect time. My favorite transformation before this had the lingerie store makeover - I just loved that diy & thrifting was incorporated - but now I just can't choose between these two as they are both SO AWESOME! The red color was perfect & the barn door was so gorgeous.
I love the paint but omg the trim, too??? I'd do white or black on the trim for sure
The trim would have poped so nicely in white
Black trim would have been great too!
I had my bathroom painted BRIGHT yellow. Black cabinets, white tile, tub, counter & sink. Black & white print shower curtain. It was a VERY bold step for soft color loving me but it turned out great.
Whoa, that's a really hard space to tackle! It's very on brand now though, much much better than before!
The only thing missing is a couple of chairs for people to sit while they're waiting. That would have been a great finishing touch.
Loving this new channel of yours! Wish you could make a medical reception!!! There isn’t many videos here with this theme
The makeover was so well suited to the business! Loved it!
When you asked about bold coloured walls I had a flashback to when I was a child, my parents made my brothers and I a “play room” with a black board and all our toys etc. and each wall was painted in the colour of the wiggles so one red wall, one deep purple wall, one yellow wall and one blue wall! It was insane lol but as a kid I thought it was amazing XD
The boldest color in my space is crayola red. I *love* it - although some people get irritable around bright red, I find it balancing for myself. Yes, I'm weird! I have lots of other colors, too. Something wasn't right, though, and I saw a designer's comment on a video that about 70% of a room should be low saturation, so I looked up what low saturation meant. Boy, did I change some things in my living room! I added a low saturation creamy area rug - that included some muted red - and a cornflower throw blanket, and decided not to paint some decor items that I found in colors that I previously didn't love, but now appreciate. Now I get nourished by the bright red pops of color, and soothed/grounded by the low saturation surround.
of course she loved it, it was amazing girl, you nailed it
anyone else peep the moldy ceiling?
Amanda Yeah they need to spray paint it white.
Christ yes
@@GinKirk7256 or properly get rid of the mold
Especially around food products...yuck!
It's a water stain. Not mould.
When I was a little girl for some reason my dad had my room painted real red and the walls were cork board. Anything I ever brought home from school was push pinned into that wall. - - This entire time I thought Make My Space Work was based out of NY. After I heard "a boot" a few times I surmised these ladies are in Canada.
I had my doubts (especially the paint....) but Alexandra, you never disappoint!! Loved this space!
Our kitchen walls are aqua/turquoise. It works though because it contrasts nicely with the warm wood cabinets. We also have a cork board, almost the size of one wall, that's vintage and came from a school that closed. It's the color of the cabinets. I use it as a command center for the house. The kitchen windows are big with white, cafe curtains. Accent colors are mostly white with pops of orange, red, and yellow. There's a vintage formica top table that was my grandmother's. I use it instead of an island for prep. We have a few orange, mid-century style chairs around it that came from a school too. It seems like it wouldn't work, but it does. It's bold, a little mid-century, and has lots of fun touches like vintage plates on the wall (that were all my mother's and grandmothers' /great-grandmothers'.)
Love It! I feel you should never be afraid of colour. Paint can be redone so easily. I had a antique red kitchen for years; the rest of the house was more calm a beige with green tones. Anyway love colour so much it just does things for you mood. Oh and my kitchen is now turquoise 😊! Love you ideas.
Wow- great changes. I had ny bedroom walls painted a true blue- nots watered down sky blue oradark blue. And because I live with light sensitivity, I bought a blus lightbulb for one of my lamps. I'm in the process of designing a gallery wall- Alexandra, ypu inspered me here. Anyway, all that blue- ie. the walls, the bulb, work in tandem to create a very cosy vibe. In fact, I like it SO m
Congrats on your first commercial space design! Initially the red freaked me out because it’s a meat business and it just made me think blood 🤢 but of course your vision totally worked out! End result: Well Done! 😉. (Had to. Sorry 😆)
ME TOO! Also there was "dog" on the menu at 11:10!!!
It looks great. I don't have any bold colors in my home but in my first home, my daughter wanted a pink bedroom. She was 5 and I let her pick the color. She picked this magenta pink. It was beautiful but it was so bright that I would often walk by her room and hit the light switch because I thought she left the light on...she didn't.
The living room in my house is coffee brown. Like really dark. But its right opposite a full window wall, its still very well light. And at night time, during parties and guests it gives a really cool vibe.
I used to have a white ceramic stag head on my wall. It was so unique, it had the cool knitted pattern on it... I broke last week and that cow brought back all the pain 😭
OK, I'm going to sound like a real nag, but I mean this with the best possible intentions. Power tools, ladders, and those little backless, slip-in shoes don't mix. At all. Neither do floppy shirt tails. Please look out for your own safety and set a good example for your subscribers -- some of them are young, like you, and don't understand that devastating injuries can and do happen.
I saw her moving that island in the rain in those shoes. Cringe. Safety third!
I agree. Your subscribers don't care if your outfit is cute while you work. Please take safe measures.
If someone is tackling a business project, hopefully they are savey enough to know safety precautions. The concept is spot on.
I always flinch when I see those shoes!
Cassy K haha. I know. She was climbing a stool in one episode I thought she was going down for sure.
I enjoy her work so much I feel bad for pointing this one pet peeve out.
You gave this place an amazing makeover. I love barn doors, you nailed!!
Your absolute best makeover so far, every detail was excelent👏👏👏👏
This was a little “on the nose” for me, BUT it’s definitely better than before and that’s what counts.
Hi Alexandra,
That space looks great!!! The red really works for them.
The boldest color so far that I have used in a redo of my kitchen space. I wanted a non-traditional kitchen color ... purple. I used a Behr Paint color called Epiphany (P100.3 ), which I absolutely love. It gives my kitchen a warm, modern yet tranquil vibe. It looks gorgeous on the wall. I've gotten so any compliments on it.
@@makemyspacework 😊So true Alexandra. Purple is my favorite color. So I am using it in every room of my apt reno along with other complimentary colors in each room. I want each room to be warm, inviting but have it's own vibe. Sometimes you've got to think outsude the box. Color means life! Love your channel and looking forward to your next makeover. 😊
OBSESSED WITH YOUR MAKEOVERS OMG 😍😍😍😍
This makeover is awesome. My hallway wall is royal blue with a contrasting mustard wall
Love your videos. Don’t shake wood stain. It adds bubbles. Stir it. ❤
Loved this one! Everything is perfect.
Bright orange accent wall in my kitchen. I get a lot of light and this orange wall really makes my kitchen look crisp with the white cabinets and natural wood furniture.
My last house I painted my focal wall a deep Aubergine and the other walls were a lovely golden yellow, it was very regal looking.
When ppl have $900 budget does that include your fee? Or $900 total.
I’m trying to budget for a budget makeover!
The people don't pay anything. The channel finances the makeover.
That budget is for the materials she used.
Alexandra never charges her clients.
I might have chosen the Beretta/Angus wall to be the red accent wall but then done something different with the other walls... I like it but it's just different than what I had pictured in my head. (I had a red dining room with white accents in a Victorian century home years ago... It was very crimson red though. I'm Canadian so I referred to it as Mountie uniform red. That place was a rental so the landlord offered to paint it "pecan" (read: light tan/ecru) and I turned him down! I liked it that way! Heather xo
Loved everything about the makeover!!!! I have loved all the makeovers you’ve done.
Wow, you have a real talent for this type of assignment!
that bell.... must get a big black dinner bell to ring!
You always do such a great job!!! Thank you for being so inspirational 😋🤗
I have a red leather sectional in my living room. And red leather chair and red rug in my family room. The brightest paint I have is a pumpkin (thing canned, not whole) colored accent wall in the family room. Great makeover! Love this new series.
My master is hale navy, one guest room has a deep hunter green accent wall, the other has dark charcoal accent wall. I moved away from all my grayed down light blues and greens, and decided if it’s a color, it needed to BE that color! Fully committed! Lol
I love what you did! Bravo!!!!! I love the bold red. It really brings everything work together and adds warmth to the place. I love bold colours. My entrance is a magenta colour with white ceiling . Where I lived before I had a narrow wall in the hallway that was purple and it looked great with the Chinese embroidery I had hanging on it.
'Carlos Scarpa' red is my thing.
Nice job. You "nailed" it.
I think ins perfect! Love it so mutch❤ Now its look professional🤗 I love this red
I love this commercial space! You get to try completely different things than you would in a home. I wish the butcher block matched the rest of the barn wood and stained wood, but that's just me. Well done Alexandra!
The boldest color in my house is the accent wall in my bedroom. It’s a warm golden yellow and when we first opened the can it was like a dark mustard yellow so we were scared! But it turned out perfect!
Looks AMAZING!!!
Love i had a red wall in my master once so pretty. Great job
I don’t do intense colors but I’m loving a SW shade called on the rocks in my bedroom combined with grown up pink spread, rug, and curtains. I’m contemplating an accent wall in the color Mesa Peach by Benjamin Moore in this room though
Can’t imagine how you came up with paint that looks pink?!?!?
This looks amazing!!!
I had 1 teal and 1 lime green wall with 2 teal/lime green/eggplant purple striped walls in middle school. It took FOREVER to paint and to paint over when I was tired of it......
The barn door covers the thermostat! Other than that, you absolutely nailed it! Now I want a tee with big bold Beretta on the front!
it slides though?
Oh good! I know it slides, but not enough to uncover the thermostat, so yay for moving it elsewhere!
Amazing and successful!
You have your very own Chico!!!!!! How awesome.
Awesome makeover!
Moved into my house last year and the living room walls are a bright royal.blue 😂
As others have mentioned, it’s so easy and inexpensive to replace a dropped ceiling tile, it’s a shame that didn’t get done here.
I used that same IKEA kitchen island as the front desk for my business for years and love it so much - I’m just confused why you nailed wood over the bottom shelf when you could have left it functional for more product. Building crates or doors instead would have given the same look while giving the client storage for overstock or packaging, etc.
So far your best makeover. Good job Alexandra !
You nailed it!
Loved this - congrats on this new venture and the first commercial client success!!! Also, my living room is a deep, saturated red and my bedroom is a saturated orange. On purpose.
Love how it turned out!
Alexandra, you are so talented!! Fantastic job on a space that is quite different from your lovely apartment makeovers! Your style is evident, but totally appropriate for the use of this store.
LOVE! excellent job with a small budget!!!
Wow!! You did an Amazing job. You’re so talented. I love watching all your videos.
Wow this is so nice...u did a great job!!
Great job!
So cool! I do have a question. I’ve noticed you’ve been painting trim the same color as the walls in some of your videos. Is this a growing trend? Personal preference? Just wondering your thought process behind it.
Andrea Smith It’s been super trendy in Europe/Scandinavia for a couple years, it’s probably starting to reach North America now.
I live in a 100 year old apartment building and we ALWAYS paint the trim and walls the same color because there are moldings and pictures rails and baseboards and all of them have 100 years of paint on them, which means NO crisp edges! It looks more sleek that way, but still has the texture of the trim.
Studio for massage is painted tourquoise . Everyone feels like they are floating in the Caribbean.
Orange in my Mudroom,, its so cool ! Love the red girl,, you nailed it for sure .
You are a genius, I love it!❤️
The boldest color I've ever used in a space is a deep forest green that was a shade or two lighter than a black. lol I know it sounds grave, but, it was amazing & I loved it for years!
I'm so impressed! You nailed it and it was so different from the work and styles you normally do. Great job!
It looks fantastic (red is my favorite color)!!!
