Thank you so much to each and every one of you for your continued support. I get to make these videos for a living, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it.

Friends, can confirm there are lights on the beside tables. They are the round white things. Lindsay had them already. You can charge them and they give off a lovely glow at night. Please stop commenting about how there’s no lights because there is 😅
I’m sooo confused now, do you not have/use Mascarpone in Canada for cakes, creams? :))) it’s pretty common in Europe, as it is from Italy of course, but my friends from the USA also use it . Anyway, you were so cute struggling to say the word.
That was the first thing I thought at the reveal...where are the lamps? Lol 🤣🤣🤣
Wait so where are the lights
@@Oknightmare7 18.17, those cylinders on the nightstands are lights
@@nicole_w_s I was kidding but thank you!
Gorgeous room. What a difference. Years ago my father added moulding to the walls of my parents’ living and dining rooms. I wish he were still alive today to see how far ahead of the decor curve he was!
Hon this was around in the 1940s apartment my grandparents had. No offense to your dad. But its an old styling trick to upgrade your walls on the cheap
@@raquellambropoulos279 I have no doubt that’s exactly where he got the idea to do it. My own grandparents.
I absolutely loved the creamy white on the walls with the pops of color in the decor. Personally, I wish that the moulding would’ve had bottom pieces, whether it matched the top or was just a straight piece, because having it go into the baseboard feels unfinished. But overall, I think it’s a beautiful room! 😍
having had that molding in my pre-war apartment building in NYC, I can tell you that the bottom of molding like that is always a mirror image of the top; it doesn’t just go into the molding.
the moulding would be even better if it had the same pattern on the bottom
The details are beautiful and I love the wall with the floating books! Like Lindsay said, it looks like a hotel room
Agreed about the moulding. As she was nailing it in I said to myself No! Do the same as at the top!! Lol
Was thinking the same thing
Yes I agree, to me it looks a bit unfinished now.. but other than that I love it :)
It's really a pity that she didn't do the same on the bottom, this way the 'unfinished' design gives away that the faux stucco frames are not, in fact, original. The nightstands floating over the bottom edge wouldn't be a problem to the eye, in my opinion, as much as the uneven design is.
Oh god yes. If the bottom of the moulding matched the top, it would have looked so much better. My eyes would be drawn to this every single time I walked into the room
Whoo hoo! Both Gater AND diy Dani! The perfect Saturday!
Seriously!!! Love both videos also
love them both ❤️
Hi. Just a hint on making the corners of the miters tight. Take your pin nailer and nail the corners from the side. It will tighten the corners so they look seamless.
Lindsay nailed it when she used the term "sanctuary" --a calming, peaceful retreat!
I love the way the rug brings in so much colour that the rest of the accessories, prints and accents in the room don't need to follow a strict palette!! the boho/minimal/eclectic/calming vibe in here is amazing! great job team AG
But surely even if you love books you don't need more than 15 in your bedroom at one time.😂
Love that you're using a lot of small businesses for accent items.❤
The wallpaper panel of the palm leaves is upside down 🙃but otherwise, it's a beautiful room glow up!
i turned my phone upside down to verify the direction of the leaves. lol
I thought the same thing!!
Shoutout to James for his awesome editing!
I love that you used her old bed frame and dresser. Goes to show, sometimes a coat of paint and a few decorative elements can dramatically change a space!
I feel like the room needs a reading nook... I think it would make so much sense!! But it does look good
Yes! That little nook by the window was made for a reading chair or built-in bench (with space underneath for books), especially since there is a tree right outside the window AND the client likes to read. Sigh, missed opportunities. Maybe next time!
@@alittlebitofjessica it doesn't look to me like there is enough space for a reading nook there. Maybe a very narrow bench under the window, but a chair would not fit unless they eliminated the night table. It's a great idea, the room just isn't big enough. Although.....a little chair and a wall sconce beside the dresser might work if the dresser were moved a bit to the left and without the plant there. :D
@@jemma50 Yeah, it's kind of late now that the client is stuck with this layout for the rest of her life unless she removes the nightstands. But a chair/bench WOULD'VE fit if they had used different tables. I've noticed in a lot of AG's videos that the sponsors take precedence over the clients' needs :(
I agree. I’d overload those three int shelves in a second.
This is the most elegant serene boho room I've ever seen
Those floating “book” bookshelves brought a whole new meaning to the phrase. Blew my mind! ❤️ Gorgeous space overall!
I love this makeover! It is so perfect for a relaxing, calming bedroom. I love the book brackets from Umbra. I am going to order a set for myself and a friend, - our nightstands are so crowded with stacks of books. I love seeing what I'm going to read next. Iam, also going to try the moulding effect in an apt that we rent out. Our tenants are usually doctors doing their residency, or grad/ phd students. They don't like to invest alot of money or time furnishing their apt; so, we try to put some extra conveniences, style, and furniture in their apts. All of our tenants usually tell us that they appreciated the effort. Your makeovers have been giving us great ideas, and diy projects to help the budget. Thank- you!!
I think this is my favorite room you've ever done. I like that it looks roomy and bright but sedate. Love the moulding and the book wall with plant! And the framed wallpaper! Love the pops of color and floating nightstands. And those knobs behind the door are genious, I can see bathrobe or colored scarves or jewelry hanging there. Many opportunities for client to add themselves into the room.
Can we just say how cute Alexandra is looking! 😍😍 Great room as always! ❤
The colour of the walls is perfect. Love the rug, the moulding, the bedding, the drawer knobs, the mirror, the book shelves !
Anyone else think the molding looked really pretty in the natural wood colour? Very boho.
Have I never noticed this or do you & DIY Danie time your uploads same day/time ever since the collab? IT MAKES MY SATURDAY ✨
PSA: Safety rule no. 1. Do not reach across the blade of a mitre saw, the internal panic at 6:30
I don't even use those types of equipment, but also panicked when I saw that
Also--tie long hair back whenevr using power tools.
The energy in this room is relaxing, great job. I hope they find peace and some sweet zzzs in there new space.
I bought the article bed after seeing your videos as well I love it
This is SO BEAUTIFUL 😍😍
So are you!
This was just so nice! Some day I would love to see what Alexandra would do for a person like me who needs a cpap machine to sleep. I have yet to see a design channel tackle that challenge. Maybe a DIY Danie collab? Also love the throw- I have the pink version of it!
My nightstands have 3 drawers. My husband drilled a hole in the bottom drawer and we put the CPAP machine in the bottom drawer and put the electrical cord through the hole. The hose and everything fits in the drawer and is thus concealed during the day. At night we just open the drawer so air can circulate. We both have one so we have the same set up on each side of the bed. This is working well for us.
Lovely! I really love gently mixed styles. I think it looks more world traveled & unique to the owner.
Hands down, my favourite makeover. All elements just came together so so perfectly! Well done!
I love the plant stands/pots and was really impressed with the overall look.
The room looks amazing!! I love it! Just a thought is the print upside down because the underside of the leaf is showing upwards rather than down? 🤔🌿🍃
Beautiful transformation - what a peaceful retreat.
This amazing I love the balance of naturals and pops of color. It’s what I’ve been thinking about and it’s exciting to see how it’s possible.
super pretty and peaceful! the leaf wallpaper would have looked interesting on one wall too but the fully white room is very cohesive! I've also seen wallpaper inside the crown moulding design and that would have been cool too! :)
The room looks so beautiful!!! I love the soft calming feel. Although, the only obnoxious thing I have to say, is that the molding, which came out amazing btw, I think traditionally in all Parisian rooms I have seen, don’t end in the baseboards like that. They typically stop a little before the baseboard and return to make a full rectangle. That would have given it a traditional Paris Apt feel. This installation feels a little more Art Deco (maybe?). Beautiful none the less. Well done!!
You always have such cute background music, I wish there was like a lofi chill hop instrumental that goes on for like 20,30,40,1000 minutes that I can just throw on in the background while studying. That'd be soo cool and then on my breaks when I watch your videos it'd just blend smoothly in 😎
Looks really nice. Alexandra, just an FYI if you wanted a Canadian option for mattresses Silk and Snow now have an organic mattress and they are based in Toronto. Haven’t received mine yet so I can’t attest to the quality however I’m really happy to support a Canadian company.
Mascarpone is on my short list for out condo makeover in Parisian style. Looks beautiful in this room.
Such a relaxed space.
it's a peaceful, sparse room. very tranquil.
Oh wow the moulding the rug the side tables ..... I really loved this one!!!!!! Go Team AG!
Beautiful!
OMG those bookshelves! I'm obsessed
Is it me or that picture over the bed looks upside down... but the room looks so good. Just perfect. Thx fir the video. Virtual hug from Luxembourg.
It is upside down, noticed it too
Hahah came here looking for this!
Oh my gosh yes! It was bugging me too! Although the bananas looked like they were the correct way but the leaves didnt...confusing, lol
@@lottebaudert4526 me too lol
It's absolutely upside.
Marscapone is my favorite off white. I have used it as an exterior paint on my home as well as interiors. I am thinking of using on my kitchen cabinets. Beautiful makeover.
DIY danie will be so proud of you using the saw and nail gun!
Liked your "wallart" for once 🤣 Great transformation ! Very beautiful !
Lovely simple, clean-without-being-stark room. I love it! (Also she appears to have the same taste in literature as I do. I've read about half the titles I could catch here, and will now go back to check out the others.)
Framing a panel of wallpaper was a genius idea !
It looks like such a clean and calm sanctuary where your client will be able to curl up with her fave blanket and book. Well done!
very very veryyyyy nice! so calm and those subtile pop of colors are great too 😩🩵🩵
Lovely, and maybe sometime future try the framed leafy piece in the middle panel and that same wallpaper in each side panel?
I want that bedroom too! Lovely!!!
Love the stool finishing touch yes
Can't get over that moulding 😍
This white is the color of a perfect vanilla ice cream 😋
Or am i just hungry 🤔
Little bit of both
I've painted 3 of my bedrooms in "Vanilla Ice Cream" from Benjamin Moore for the past 17 years :D
Alexandra, you are so creative! Beautiful transformation.
❤ Shirley
Hi, the boho bedroom is FAB. Take a look between day 1 and 2 video. You look so much prettier when you use a "shear" foundation. On the positive side of this subject, I am very impressed with your skin care routine.
Omg I looooooove this. The floating bookshelves and the molding are everything 😳
I love those floating bookshelves.
Knocked it out of the ball park again.Alexandra you are blessed with talent.
Wow that wall color is everything! What a beautiful room!
as a person who actually reads I gotta say those shelves seem very impractical especially with decor/plants on top but this room turned out beautiful
yep. I ALWAYS cringe when I see someone putting a plant on a book, as someone who actually keeps plants and reads books.
I think the plant is fake, so it wouldn't damage the books. I love these type of shelves aesthetically, but, if you actually have "alot" of books, as Alexandra claimed her client did, there's just not enough storage here. There was totally enough room on that wall for a shallow bookcase or proper shelves.
She has another larger bookshelf in the dining room, you see it in the next makeover. She doesn't need to keep all the books she owns in her bedroom
I think it's a cute way to display books you've already read and don't re-read often. Clears up space in other storage areas and adds a bit of visual interest.
I've never heard anyone pronounce the l in caulk before, and I love it.
Is it a Canadian thing? Here in the Midwestern US we say it like the word for rooster, which leads to some awkwardness...
In California we also say... That. Lol.
I can confirm it’s definitely not a Canadian thing. We say it just like you folks! The exception being this video of course haha.
This is excellent scientific confirmation the she is precious and fantastic.
I'm a southern girl and I've never heard it pronounced without the L... Interesting!
Simple but just elegant!
You’re so handy. You go girl. Good job.
Alexandra - So very airy and light. Beautiful job. Blessings - Judith 🎵🎭
That rug though 😍 Love the floating book shelves too! This is one of my all time fave makeovers!
Nailed it!
The room looks so much bigger and airier . Even in a winters day it will be warm and inviting . Love the wall moulding and the pops of colour 😊
Books can also be stylishly stacked under the floating nightstands.
Love this room! It is a perfect calming sanctuary which is exactly what I want for my own. Thank you for the inspiration!!
you turned a meh bedroom into a tranquil retreat....congratulations. nice job!
Moulding looks great but you definitely should of added a piece on the bottom instead of making it go directly into the baseboard. Looks a bit off and unfinished like that
AL-EX-AN-DRUHHHHH!!! Amazing. Chefs kiss good
Wow, I love that wall colour!
If your molding is pine, it would be smart to prime it with a stain-blocking primer to keep the oil from the knots from bleeding through. And paint sticks better with primer (though you maybe used a paint with primer incorporated?)
Love what you did with this space Alexandra! I love watching you transform different places!!!
I love this room!!
That was amazing. I may try out the molding!
That light is so cute,
Love it.
I have watched all your videos, sometimes over and over, I find your channel so entertaining and informative. and so I have become a fan, I am an elderly lady from Brisbane Australia, I decided to comment on this video because its your best one yet. I see you doing something other than just painting an accent wall, and the floating theme you use to transform the room and adding the moulding to the wall is as I am sure you know, a lovely idea, the rug you chose created such a warm vibe also, congratulations Alexandra and your team.
Loved her reaction. The room feels absolutely calm and looks beautiful.
The floating books are my absolute favorite! What a cool design 😭😭🤍🤍🤍
Nice to see you do your own DIY....what happened to Chico!! Love the room. Great morning watching you and DIY Danni!!!
Wow! You keep knocking it out of the park
Lovin the side tables!
Stunning!
Loove the moulding!!!!
Hands down 🙌 this is your best room makeover so far! Finally!!! I love every single pieces you used. Good job! Keep up the good work Alexandra 😊
Very nice, good inspiration.
Details: That beautiful flush mount light! Right, all lights do not have to swing!! Also, the wicker or bamboo plant stand is a great addition!!
Love, love, love it🥰
So calming. Love it.
It's just so endearing and smart how you incorporated the palm tree wallpaper. Just a serene bedroom, a happy place 😊.
Absolutely gorgeous
So beautiful
ITS SO BEAUTIFUL!!! !The bookshelves 😍😍
I love molding on walls. I lived in a pre WW2 building for many years and the rooms had moldings on plaster walls. In this room I would have made two narrow ones outlining the floating bed tables and a wider one in the middle.
I really wanna see you makeover someone's room who is plus sized, I love your channel and love your design ideas, and as much as I would love to purchase some of the beds you choose for people's room I'm kind of worried about damaging the bed because of my size. It would also be nice if you check in with people like after a month to see how everything is working because I loved the time that people had to call you back to do a different part of their home and the space was still the same as you decorated it just nice to know how you benefited their lives sometimes.
