    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.

She also ‘framed’ gallery walls and massive frameless oil paintings to make them appear even larger (leave about 6” between painting and border). She made our humble homes absolutely fantastic works of art with wallpaper. ❤

    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. 💜

      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.

    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.

      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.

      @@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.
