    The room colour is stunning & her furniture is gorgeous. I personally don't think the cool blue on the bench worked with the warmth of the room but the bench itself is very clever. Don't love the modern art above the bed as it fights with the antique feel of the room - that's only my personal taste though. Overall its a lovely room with a warm, cosy feel .

      ⁠@@lindarahmeyer2668Thank you for filling in the blanks! I love him, and I love that this wood has a backstory 😍
      I’d somehow never watched any of Suits, despite being super into legal dramas and suchlike… then when all the news came out about Prince Harry marrying Meghan Markle and I was like, “who even is that?”, I educated myself by binge watching all 9 seasons in pretty short order, and falling in love with both the series and so many of the characters and actors! 😍
      I got two kittens last May and one is called Harvey*, and when I’m not calling him some combination of Harvey/Harv/Harveycat/[baby/babycat - these apply equally to both of my cats 😄]/gingerlion/babylion/etc, his “long names” are “Harvey Specter” and “Harvey Danger” 😺 Also since he’s a Maine Coon and huge, the name “Harvey” is also kind of a reference to the 6-foot-something human-sized invisible-rabbit-friend named Harvey in the movie/play of the same name, as well as the Farscape character (though he’s definitely not invisible/imaginary like both of these characters, so I’m not sure where my inspiration came from!)
      (My other cat is called Nikita, which is a name I just liked for a cat with no particular personal attachment… but the shortened name “Nika” suits her very well, and now I get to call her Nika/Kita/Tikka/Nika-tikka/Nika-tiq and every possible combination of these sounds, which also all seem to fit her! 😸)
      * (I feel like maybe I should have a better and more personally-meaningful story behind how I picked their names, other than going through lists of people-names and cat-names and name-meanings, narrowing them down to ones I liked and that might fit them, and just sitting with both the cats and the names and trying them on for size to see which ones resonated with me.. but I don’t, and these are just their names now, and that’ll have to do 😽)

    Love the room. The only change I would make is the nightstand. It's too low; a general rule of thumb is a nightstand should be at the same level as the top of the mattress or a couple of inches taller; it makes it easier to place something on or off it and the lamp at the right height to read in bed. Otherwise, what a great transformation!

    I see that others have also commented on the lack of height for the bedside table and lamp. If both were taller, it would also allow for light when reading on the beautiful bench. The window does offer light for that function but the ability to have a useful reading lamp will just extend the use at times when it's not sunny. Other than that one thing, I think the room is absolutely beautiful! I love the ceiling light and the use of the gorgeous bed and dresser. That lamp that ended up on the dresser is amazing!

    That bench is perfect! Such a thoughtful and useful design. I was so glad to see the storage cubbies as well as book shelves - this is very single room living.
    However, the bedside table lamp is not. I can picture the arm contortion necessary to roll over, reach down then up to turn off the light from bed!

    It's a *very* pretty room -- I usually don't like ceilings and walls all in a darker color, but it works well in this room and the color is beautiful! And the mahogany posts in the shelf/window seat are perfect with her lovely bed and dresser. (Alexandra's plan and Graham's design and production of the window seat are wonderful).
    My only criticism is the height of the bedside table. People who read books (actual books like she has, not ebooks) in bed need a lamp that's much higher than this one is, even with the stack of books under it. The lamp is lovely, but a far taller end table would be better. But that's the smallest, least important and easiest fixed part of the makeover.

    I love everything! Only thing I would change is the height of the bedside table. I saw that you tweaked it by putting some books under the lamp. I actually did something similar with a short lamp that’s on my dresser. And I am now completely obsessed with that ceiling light fixture! It is stunning!

    I love this. Agree light/table too low. I felt a curved cushion would do justice to the custom made bench, but can appreciate the time constraints and cost may have influenced your choice. Love the color combo of painting, paint and ceiling light. She should hire Graham or another cabinet maker to retrofit the height of her headboard, it is kinda lost behind her pillows. Love the tall shelf above the bed as well. Prefer it same color as wall, instead of heavy feeling dark wood. Good lesson for us there to test a small piece of old wood to check out stain color. Love the Roman shade. Might have to find a tutorial on sewing them. TFS.

    It went from nice but somewhat nondescript to strong and warm, and vibrant. The colors are gorgeous and the art above the bed just draws the eyes in. The flower lamp gives the ceiling a charming ambiance and the book shelves are stellar. Another decor success for Alexandra, Graham and the team.

    The colors, the bench- oh my goodness the bench!, the ceiling light and that you kept all her family heirlooms- everything is perfect.
    I’m sending this to my daughter so when I go to do my bedroom, she knows exactly how I want it to feel!
    Alexandra, you’re so very talented and you have a great team that is also so talented. I’ve learned so much about finding my own personal style.

    The color of the walls is stunning. So interesting, unusual, and surprising. It looks perfect with her antique pieces. The black out shades are lovely and functional. I definitely think she will have well deserved restful sleep in her bedroom now. The ceiling light is a showstopper. I wish I had a place for it in my home. The bedding in color and pattern is perfect. So pretty. So inviting. That painting is breathtaking and really suits the design. Once again I wish I could use it in my home.
    Now the bench. As always Graham hit it out of the park. The craftmanship is perfection. I wish there was closed storage for the books because the sheer amount of them and the diverse colors adds visual clutter to the room. That's not restful. I don't like the color. It doesn't look cohesive with the rest of the room. But most of all that beautiful cushion is impractical as is. I know because I had a similar situation. I guarantee you that cushion is going to slide off once you sit on it for awhile. There is nothing anchoring it to the bench. I got really tired of picking mine up off the floor and it was uncomfortable sitting on it as it slide around. Finally I velcroed it to the bench with large strong velcro. Now the bench is useable and comfortable. That's what needed to be done with her bench.
    You are a talented designer. You would take your talent to another level if you would consider the practical functional elements of your designs more carefully. ❤

  • @rehowse1290

    Californian turned Southerner here, the wall color and color tones mentioned in the beginning sparked an immediate “comfort feeling” from me when I thought, “that’s the color of red beans”. Just like in Red beans and Rice on Mondays immediately connecting Southerners to feeling of comfort and homeyness. While it’s not a color that you’re not used to incorporating, maybe now you can adapt our way of feeling about it. I’ve been watching since your little apartment before the treehouse and I AM subscribed 😊

    I’m really glad Graham put his foot down about the shelf. Tbh I really want to see Team AG use more second hand stuff, especially when it comes to styling items. Like I watched one where they got a bunch of styling items at Home Sense that they *absolutely* could’ve found at a second hand charity shop and it was just a little disappointing.
