I concur. He possesses a remarkably gentle and kind nature. I sincerely hope that he makes a full recovery in his new and pleasant surroundings! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
All these years of Alexandra “fake typing” on every desk surface she comes across, she FINALLY had a keyboard upon which to type. We’ve come full circle, folks! 😅
Can we take a moment to acknowledge Dave? That paint job is amazing for one person to do. I don’t think he gets enough recognition in the comments section. We always talk about the rest of team AG.
AG getting one of his fave youtubers to record that video really shows why they do what they do. You guys all seem to really love truly making people happy. The design and fun and creativity are all part of it for sure, but it really comes down to: changing someone's space really affects their life so positively
Omg, Thomas crying into his mom's shoulder at the end stoppppp 🥺🥺🥺What a deserving makeover client! I'm sending all the love and healing energy to Thomas. May he beat any health issues that come his way so he can enjoy that beautiful bedroom and family for many years to come. Great job, Team AG!!!
It's the entirely wrong shade of blue. All I see is painter's tape. A more royal plus or a borderline navy if you don't want to go to dark, but this shade.
What an inspiring make- over. My daughter has terminal cancer now and even though a make- over does not cure cancer , it sure lifts the spirits and helps one to think about other things. I pray that Thomas’s cancer will be cured with the treatment and I am sure this make over is helping him focus on other things besides the cancer. His reaction was precious. What a gift for him and his mom.🥰
I’m so sorry about your daughter’s prognosis, Grace. I hope your family’s getting some special time together right now that you’ll be able to cherish always, and that you’re looking after yourself as well. ❤
I'm so sorry about your daughter. There is nothing I can say that can make that better -- but I'm hoping that you both experience peace and love during this terrible time.
Thomas seems like such a sweet and chill kid! I love that Team AG was able to create such a restorative and relaxing place for him. The bedroom turned out utterly amazing - I wasn’t sure how that grey would turn out but I’m in love with it!
The look on Thomas' face was everything!!!! And the makeover was to the moon and back!!!! Excellent, excellent, excellent!!!! I cried a bit at the end when Thomas and his Mother seemed to be overtaken with the whole thing ~~~ you done good, Alexander and Team...
Welp, I sure did cry a whole bunch when that kid was hugging his mom at the end! What a nice thing that she nominated him and you all chose his room for a makeover so he can have a great space to rest and play in. Seems like a cool kid and a cool family. Wishing you the best, Thomas!
I think this is my favorite makeover you guys have ever done, because I love how much you listened to everything he wanted and delivered it to him in a way that he couldn’t have imagined. When he said grey was a color he liked, I thought your pink-loving heart would break! But no, you found a lovely green/grey and used those great contrasting colors to keep it sophisticated, but not depressing. He will spend so many hours playing video games at that desk, feeling comfortable and like a normal teenager, surrounded by a space that reminds him that he is loved and valued. And he absolutely deserves it! Amazing job! Congratulations to you and your team! 🎉
Team AG please, please, please show us how to style nerdy things into an adult space!! Things like anime figures, manga, gundams, im 25 and love my collection but can't help but feel like I'm in my teen bedroom
Totally! I have the same problem with my doll collection. I'd love to display my Bratz dolls, but I don't want to ruin my carefully styled studio either.
As soon as the mom spoke I thought she sounds South African. The room is beautiful! I am so happy you chose him. Hope his recovery will go very well ❤from South Africa.
This gamer loves your content!! Gamers do watch you! (Female gamers anyway, lol.) "I'm not the coolest youtuber" maybe not for a 14 year old boy true, it's so cute that you hunted down a youtube he loves to send him a message. Great makeover, as always! Those shelves are to die for!
I'm only about 6 minutes in but have to comment right away. The way Thomas constantly turns to look at his mom in the beginning of the video - she's clearly a very safe place for him and their relationship is making me so teary 🥹
As a teenage-cancer-survivor-now-adult, thank you so much @AlexandraGater and team for doing this for Tom, and not making it (video) or him feel weird 💕
As a South african, it's so good to hear the accent and excited that a South african gets the best you tuber makeover ever!!! The end made me tear up... praying for Tomas complete recovery ❤
Alexandra, just wanted to tell you that I was so impressed with how you handled interviewing him and his mum. You were so warm, welcoming and professional all at the same time. I could tell you made them both feel so incredibly safe and happy. ❤ this video made my day.
Loved Thomas’s vibe and the final result really captures their inspo photos! I kept thinking the blue trim was painters tape the entire time watching - it’s a perfect color match haha
Was not expecting to cry on Saturday morning...but here we are. What an awesome space for Thomas. I am sure it will be such a retreat for him. Great job Team AG!! Love those shelves Graham (Graeme).
This was such a kind and lovely thing to do. Made me cry at the end (I had a son who became very ill and disabled and I totally empathize with Thomas's mother). He kept saying the room didn't feel like his but I think he meant it felt almost too good to be true. He clearly loved it. You all did something you often do and somehow magically expanded the space -- by the time you finished, the room looked far bigger than it did before. It's exactly what Thomas asked for -- cozy but not *too* cozy. It's restful and warm.
I have suffered from depression since I was a teen (I'm 67 now). Tomorrow, September 28, is the hardest day every year. On that date in 2005, my older son was KIA in Iraq from an IED destroying the Bradley Fighting Vehicle he was a gunner. All 5 aboard were killed. Thank you for making your mental health issues a part of your show. I really enjoy your show. Living in Pennsylvania, I'm too far to do a makeover a room in my house.😊
My favorite of all your videos. Not necessarily the decor (clearly his favorite, though) but the spirit of giving and his humble thanks, way to go team AG. Blessings to Thomas and his family.
I have an employee who had cancer as a teen. He overcame it, has worked for me for ten yrs and I just promoted him - he won’t know until Monday 😉 I just wanted to share a hopeful story. He still gets checked yearly but he’s cancer free, a homeowner, a great employee and much appreciated brother, son, and team member!
From a South African living in the Netherlands: thanks Team AG for doing this-what an amazing transformation! Thomas: wish you and family all the best in Toronto!
As a mom to two littles, I 100% teared up when he was hugging his mom at the end for getting him this makeover. AG and team, you knocked it out of the park and made this boy feel so special! Plus the end scene of singing Grease out the window, pure gold 👌🏻😂
I hope you do something for the sisters. I had a daughter who was in several hospitals for 10 months. At the same time my mother was dying in another hospital. My other two children were constantly being shuffled around. This boy's sisters are agonizing too. Maybe you could add them to your schedule for a future makeover. I think your subscribers would appreciate your thoughtfulness. No matter what you decide, you are all awesome.
I was thinking the same thing. One if my twin sons is special needs and has had many surgeries. We are aware of the extra time his care takes so we make special days with one kiddo at a time to do what they want. They never complained but we wanted to reward them for their understanding
Haven't even made it to the design brief call and i'm weeping 😣 good luck and keep fighting Thomas!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼 sending you love, strength and prayers from Malaysia
Immediately recognised the South African accent ❤🇿🇦 . What a brilliantly appropriate teen boytjie room. Thomas, sending you best wishes for health, strength, and great things still to come.
As a south african who has been watching Alexandra for years I never thought I’d see the day where she does a makeover for fellow citizens/ex-citizens! So cool! ❤
This makeover was very touching. I loved the whole room I mean everything. The young teenager was so happy with his new hangout space. The tears at the end really said it all. Good job guys
It’s 1:15am in Melbourne, Australia right now. Was I about to sleep? Yes. Did I see the AG notification pop up? Yes. Am I suddenly not tired anymore? Also yes! AG just uploaded a new vid and now I’ve seen the notification, I’ll get fomo 😅 What a deserving young man who deserves his own sanctuary! Thank you AG for doing videos like these for people who deserve it❤
All South Africans lets all gather here and wish our boy good health and good old Mzanzi vibes.❤️🇿🇦❤️ Alexandra for me this was a feel good episode. As a South African living in British Columbia, as soon as I heared Jill speak I knew she was South African❤ It made me homesick The room came out perfect. You are amazing👌🏾 Dear Thomas, get well soon Boikie. We are all rooting for you. 🇿🇦❤️🇨🇦
Thank you for doing this for this sweet child! I’m bawling. As a grandma of a very sick special needs child, this act of kindness means more than you know.
Goodness growing up with typewriters and the early keyboards the clicking was perfectly normal and I guess I just took it for granted. Its funny to see someone get so excited about it. :) beautiful job and for such a wonderful young man.
Girl ! I always give your videos a 👍🏼up before even watching because I know it’s gonna be beautiful ! And you did not disappoint ! The young boy was overwhelmed & so happy !
Omg, the way Thomas looked at his mom throughout. I was a grownup & a mother myself before I looked at my mom with that kind of appreciation & warmth. Thomas is wise beyond his years.
Watching this from South Africa and my heart just breaks for Thomas. Wishing him speedy recovery and what an amazing job you guys did with his room. He genuinely loves it. Keep it up team AG!
first I was scared he wouldn't like the bringt blue trim and closet door because he told you first he liked dark colors but it ended up amazing as always and he seems to really love it! would love to see you do more of these kind of make overs for someone really deserving. sending my prayers to this young man and wishing him all the best for his (health) journey. 💛🇿🇦
I am so happy seeing Thomas in his new room. Both my parents got cancer last year so I know the pain that they're going through. I wish them nothing but the best. Thank you AG team for making their life a little bit easier.
His face said it all at reveal ! Amazement! You really knocked this one out of the park, Alexandra! This is def one of the most important rooms you've done! Reveal day is always exciting, but I don't usually have tears!
I know that this is supposed to be a happy video, but the tears are streaming down my face. I will never even begin to understand how illnesses can affect children like this. He is so strong, and I wish him all the happy years that he can possibly squeeze out of this life. You did an amazing thing for him Alex. Also going out of the way to get one of his favorite youtubers to send him a video is phenomenal. My favorite episode thus, far!
So happy for you Thomas. Yay. 🎉🎉 It is real and yours to chill, rest, and rejuvinate in. Sending you great big healing hugs. Janine from South Africa. Living in Germany. I know how much you miss home. 🌍🤗🦓🦏🐘🦁🇿🇦
Alexandra, I always say this, and I always mean it, you nailed it. What a wonderful gift to give this young man. There is nothing like feeling at home and having your own personal space while healing. Well done!! ❤👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
team AG...LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE. a major pat on the back for your team. just looking at his response to his new room...how much joy and awe in his face...made my day. the room is stunning. what you made him and his mom feel...it's what makes the world a better place. thank you!!!!
To Thomas and Gill, sending loads of love and healing to you both, from a fellow South African. To Alexandra, thank you for the beauty and comfort that you brought to Thomas and to all the lives that you touch 🎉❤
I used to teach middle school. I LOVE teens! He very much loved this room. They’re pretty subtle when they like things, but he very clearly loved what you did in this room. Made my heart happy ❤
I never would have thought to add that electric blue color to the baseboards but it brings such a jolt of youthful energy to the room! Great job everyone! Plus each episode must now end with a sing-a-long moment.
You know Alexandra is a good designer when she can put herself in anyone's shoes to develop something they would love-- I've seen some makeover youtubers scoff at people who had preferences that didnt match their own, then get surprised when the resident is disapponted..but in every vid I've seen, Alexandra always truly wants to make each individual find home in their space & I love to see it💖
Wow! That is seamlessly fabulous. He's right. It's like a fantasy world. Yet is is still warm, enveloping and cozy. It reflects his history and personality, and it incorporates his interests and hobbies.
Suggest game desk/desk to be facing the wall to the right of the window to prevent any glare on the screen AND so the window can still remain open to allow natural light in!
Wow what great timing to turn my tv on and say to myself “ok you can watch for a little bit, but you’ve got things to do so you can’t spend all day watching AG videos”! 😂😂😂
Ok crying at a makeover doesn’t happen often but this one hit very close to home! Mom is an absolute rock star for everything she’s done for him and for setting this up. I love that you were able to do this for him. What a sweet young guy! Wishing all the best in health and happiness for their family. 🥲 🎗️💛
Thomas was so closed up during the initial call, barely speaking, looking at his mom for reassurance maybe. Happy to see his genuine surprised reaction to the makeover. Also happy to see a caring loving mother in Gill. Not all mothers are caring, nor loving. Despite this current challenge, Thomas is a lucky boy to have her and to get a room makeover. Speedy recovery to Thomas and congrats Team AG for doing GOOD in various forms. Cheers!
When he hugged his mother at the end, I started crying. What an amazing job you all did for this teenager.
Yes! That part made me fall apart too.
Same! Such a beautiful moment!!!
Me too 😂
I cried too....😢
I concur. He possesses a remarkably gentle and kind nature.
I sincerely hope that he makes a full recovery in his new and pleasant surroundings! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
All these years of Alexandra “fake typing” on every desk surface she comes across, she FINALLY had a keyboard upon which to type. We’ve come full circle, folks! 😅
Finally the moment has come! I was rooting for her for so long 🤣

I agree! Go Dave!
Dave, is that you?
Good form carrying the dresser too!

I cried in the first two minutes, and again at the end reveal when I realized Thomas’ hair is growing back 🥲 well done, guys!
Same!! 🥹🥲
You cried in the beginning. I cried in the ending during the review😢

That's great news! I am so happy for your remission ❤❤❤
So encouraging!
I am so glad to hear that!! For both and all of you fighting it!! ❤❤
Me too!!! ❤🎉 go Thomas!
I love the blue color, but every time I see it, it makes me think of painters tape 😅
Omg me too. I was scrolling through the comments to see if anyone else felt the same. It doesn’t belong in this room. It needed to be a darker blue.
The blue I hate it! I am so confused it’s such a pretty room! I wish more South African flairs were apart of it too
It's the entirely wrong shade of blue. All I see is painter's tape. A more royal plus or a borderline navy if you don't want to go to dark, but this shade.
YES. It’s painters tape blue. 100%.
I hated it. There's playful pops of color and then there's color that doesn't make sense in the space.

So sorry to hear about your daughter’s diagnosis 🙏
When a quiet, grumpy 14-year-old in the middle of puberty shows this much genuine surprise and happiness - you just cannot help but cry. How sweet.
Exactly!! Not an easy task and not for the faint of heart. Team AG did a fantastic job.
Not too mention sick!
Thomas seems like such a sweet and chill kid! I love that Team AG was able to create such a restorative and relaxing place for him. The bedroom turned out utterly amazing - I wasn’t sure how that grey would turn out but I’m in love with it!
the famous Michael Beck!
His face when he first saw it 🥰
As a young cancer survivor, thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this. It's more than a makeover❤
My heart seized up a bit seeing this brave lad so quietly thrilled with his new bedroom. Bless you, Team AG, for helping him and his family!
My son has that gaming keyboard, and that is EXACTLY the noise I hear coming from his room every day 😂
The look on Thomas' face was everything!!!! And the makeover was to the moon and back!!!! Excellent, excellent, excellent!!!! I cried a bit at the end when Thomas and his Mother seemed to be overtaken with the whole thing ~~~ you done good, Alexander and Team...
Oh wow! Definitely teary-eyed at the end of this one. Team AG you all knocked out of the park with this on❤e
Gamer & regular viewer here (and also a girl who loves reno and home decor content lol). You did good. That kid has a SWEET racing sim setup! 💪
just got to the end. i'm definitely not sobbing 😭
Fellow gamer and decor girlie! Same here, bless his heart. ❤

He looked so happy with his new room! Loved the Alexandra and Alana moment with the keyboard too.
Yes! Alana's got some real ASMR skills on that keyboard!
I felt those same chills. Why does that sound have such an amazing effect?
Team AG please, please, please show us how to style nerdy things into an adult space!! Things like anime figures, manga, gundams, im 25 and love my collection but can't help but feel like I'm in my teen bedroom
Please do that. My daughter has the manga and anime along with a medieval sword collection. Love to see how you would style a bedroom space.
Totally! I have the same problem with my doll collection. I'd love to display my Bratz dolls, but I don't want to ruin my carefully styled studio either.
@@inebyine How about in a glass cabinet? Behind the glass...
As soon as the mom spoke I thought she sounds South African. The room is beautiful! I am so happy you chose him. Hope his recovery will go very well ❤from South Africa.
Me too! When I heard the mom talk, I was like, "I hear my people."
How quickly we pick up the south african accent ❤
She also has a particularly good South African accent too. Absolutely beautiful

Alexandra, I always say this, and I always mean it, you nailed it. What a wonderful gift to give this young man. There is nothing like feeling at home and having your own personal space while healing. Well done!! ❤👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Never cried at a room reveal before but this young man was so appreciative and honest. I wish him nothing but good things
Sending love from South Africa to wonderful Thomas and his amazing mamma ❤❤ liefde vir julle
team AG...LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE. a major pat on the back for your team. just looking at his response to his new room...how much joy and awe in his face...made my day. the room is stunning. what you made him and his mom feel...it's what makes the world a better place. thank you!!!!
I cried when Thomas was hugging his mother. Such a sweet moment and you guys made it happen! ❤️
That keyboard solo was so cute haha I know how it is when the tired silliness takes over
To Thomas and Gill, sending loads of love and healing to you both, from a fellow South African. To Alexandra, thank you for the beauty and comfort that you brought to Thomas and to all the lives that you touch 🎉❤
Omg .. first time I cried after a reveal when mom and son hugged each other! I have a 15 yr old , boys are amazing!!
I used to teach middle school. I LOVE teens! He very much loved this room. They’re pretty subtle when they like things, but he very clearly loved what you did in this room. Made my heart happy ❤
I never would have thought to add that electric blue color to the baseboards but it brings such a jolt of youthful energy to the room! Great job everyone! Plus each episode must now end with a sing-a-long moment.
From a South African follower, thank you 😊
You know Alexandra is a good designer when she can put herself in anyone's shoes to develop something they would love-- I've seen some makeover youtubers scoff at people who had preferences that didnt match their own, then get surprised when the resident is disapponted..but in every vid I've seen, Alexandra always truly wants to make each individual find home in their space & I love to see it💖
This video had me in tears. I said lots of prayers for Thomas. Thank you for doing such a beautiful makeover. 💚
Sending love to Thomas and his family!! 🥰🥰🥰 What a gorgeous room! 👏👏👏
Wow! That is seamlessly fabulous. He's right. It's like a fantasy world. Yet is is still warm, enveloping and cozy. It reflects his history and personality, and it incorporates his interests and hobbies.
ok personally that blue trim is feeling out of place but i really love how it all came together. this was so sweet.
You knocked it out of the park with this one Team AG! Sending love and strength to Thomas and his family (from a fellow South African living abroad) 🤗
Wonderful to see them both so happy during such a difficult time. The room looks amazing. Great job, everyone.
Good job, Team AG. All the best to Thomas and his lovely mom.
I cried. I wish this young man all the best.
So great seeing some fellow SAFFA’s on your show! Super make over! Well done team. Sending lots of love from Cape Town.🇿🇦
A mechanical keyboard was such a cool bonus for his gaming setup. I was excited to see Austin Evans as one of the probably few crossover viewers
So awesome to hear our 🇿🇦accent again and to meet the lovely family. Julle is in my hart 💜💜💜
Suggest game desk/desk to be facing the wall to the right of the window to prevent any glare on the screen AND so the window can still remain open to allow natural light in!
Wow what great timing to turn my tv on and say to myself “ok you can watch for a little bit, but you’ve got things to do so you can’t spend all day watching AG videos”! 😂😂😂
Ok crying at a makeover doesn’t happen often but this one hit very close to home! Mom is an absolute rock star for everything she’s done for him and for setting this up. I love that you were able to do this for him. What a sweet young guy! Wishing all the best in health and happiness for their family. 🥲 🎗️💛
Let me reassure you: you ABSOLUTELY can spend all day watching AG makeover videos. 😉
@@michaelbeck4236Absolutely!!!
Same 😂 Followed by watching the entire video
Thomas was so closed up during the initial call, barely speaking, looking at his mom for reassurance maybe. Happy to see his genuine surprised reaction to the makeover. Also happy to see a caring loving mother in Gill. Not all mothers are caring, nor loving. Despite this current challenge, Thomas is a lucky boy to have her and to get a room makeover. Speedy recovery to Thomas and congrats Team AG for doing GOOD in various forms. Cheers!
I'm not crying, you're crying. So awesome to see how happy he was. ❤
