He has some serious job security. I can't imagine telling any boss I've ever had that I lied to them just to get out of doing what they needed. That shelf would have looked so much better stained, too.
That's why you test oiling and staining on an offcut. Would have loved the textured, old wood in there. Maybe even with some light up the (diffused LED strip, uplight). Though totally understand him not repeating all the sanding 😇 And he already did so much with the window seat,that turned out great. Wish they would have made a custom top that follows the curves...
Has Graham ever considered selling his design sketches?? They’re beautiful visuals, I’m envisioning an eclectic space with his sketch in a matted frame 👌🏼 10/10 would endulge
@@karonmcgregor4753 Yes, I thought the same - and he could even do his own show if he wanted to, but he's having fun working with Alexandra and the team - they work so well together. You can tell she's wonderful to work with.
the art above the bed throws this off massivelyyyy. a nice vintage oil or scenery painting would’ve really tied the room together. however everything else is stunning. that light?! wow.
I agree. Also, having a painting or anything above the bed is bad feng shui. Feng shui aside, I don't want anything above my bed in case of earthquakes & it falls on me. (my area is quake prone)
Hi, Decorator here love your channel, but there one thing that your doing wrong pretty consistently your end tables are the wrong size way to short. I think it cheapens the look.
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 .
@@cfloster The art is probably going to go? It’s for styling and featuring and promote an artist. An oil painting of a landscape is really a good idea. Or a still life.
I'm glad I'm not alone I feel like the hues of the pink and blue clash. It feels very back to the future, /Flintstones versus the rest of the room 😂 otherwise I love it tho
I think the room NEEDED the cool blue to balance out the *chronic* earth tone, otherwise it would have been too much, especially considering they also painted the ceiling the same color as the walls. I love that they did that, since Hannah is a midwife. Very much a womb-y room!
Gorgeous room! I love everything - especially the ceiling light fixture. My only tweak would be to have the bedside lamp much higher to throw light onto the bedtime book. That window seat is stellar!!! Who else has always wanted a window seat?
I was thinking the exact same thing. That lamp is way too low. Then in the reveal it was elevated by books. I still think it is too low. Something was just off about it. Much better with the books though
The side table needs to be higher, which would then elevate the lamp. It's too low right now and doesn't provide the needed light for reading in bed, etc.
Graham’s cheeky confession about having more boards 😂 Also, you can’t just leave us hanging not knowing which actor! So great seeing all the character pieces being reused! ❤
@@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 😽)

Graham is GOLD ! He is a master carpenter with so much imagination and skill. He should have his own channel. The room is very nice. So glad to see you using some important family pieces. It doesn't look like you spent an afternoon at Home Goods and bought everything . However .... That bed side lamp is ridiculous . Way to small for anyone reading in bed. Over all I'd say it's an A+
Same, that paint color didn't show off her beautiful bedroom furniture at all, and just like the others have said, that bedside table and lamp are way too low, not functional at all.
Blue accents in pillows was enough blue for this room. The blue bench is a huge miss and a deep, rich green would have been a better choice. Not often AG gets a color wrong, so I wonder if the owner insisted on having something blue.
As a midwife in Ontario this was so exciting to watch! I’m long past graduation but there’s nobody more deserving for a makeover than someone who has just made it through the midwifery education program, after long 24 hour births and so much hard work. Congratulations Hannah! Good luck in your NR year.
I love how in the last couple makeovers you've used the individual's existing art collection -- it adds so much more character to the space and really lets their personality shine. Also, breathed a sigh of relief that you kept the Tiffany lamp in this one. That piece is so beautiful.
I’m shocked you didn’t put a cozy rug down! But at the same time, I loooove the rich wood floor being a focal point! Makes it feel a little more vintage too 😍
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 know you said this style is outside of your comfort zone, but I would love to see more of it from you! The darker, richer, classic vibes but still feminine and happy! Love your guys' art and craftsmanship :)
I love when the subjects own stuff is used in the space, it such a compliment that they already had beautiful things, they just need a bit of help. This is beautiful.
That “custom pad” could have been custom curved and is gonna slide all over. The side table is too short. I was waiting for a tall lamp to offset that. Didn’t happen. Graham’s a genius and you would seriously miss him if he ever gets his own show. Give him a raise immediately. Not kidding. Oh , the color is obviously one of your faves since we see it in your designs a lot.
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!

I love it when you do a moody style, it's just so cozy and warm. I was never allowed to consider any dark paints growing up because we had a small house and my parents didn't want it to feel smaller. Now that I've moved out of course they are considering it finally. I showed them your videos and they've been converted.
Growing up, I was only allowed white walls. The reasoning was always that I could change the colour with curtains and accents. My dad changed his mindset as he got a new wife, and my mom still thinks like that (she is an artist, however, and her walls are full of paintings). And after a lot of unlearning and many AG videos, I finally live in a green walled oasis :D If I ever own my own space, I will for sure do some moody styles, too. They are just so pretty! Team AG is really killing it
Hannah's so happy! Good job IMO the bedside table and lamp are too low but I absolutely love the ceiling light! Looks very cozy to come home to and relax, read or fall asleep. I like that you worked with family pieces she already had and loves, really fits the atmosphere of the room and proves they stand the test of time.
Graham's addition to the AG team really makes everything tv worthy, no offense to Chico, though I love the mam,, but Graham being a regular AG team is just something else 😂😂😂.
Incredible bench/window seat. Can't figure out why you would use such a low table and lamp? Everything else wonderful as always. Someone said great way to start your Saturday and I couldn't agree more. Love your videos.
Really enjoying the more traditional styling in this room. So warm and cozy. I wasn’t sure about the paint color at first but I think it adds the perfect ambiance needed here. 👍
I actually think that the shelf looks good painted and I would prefer it over having left it natural. It lets all of the other things - like the bed frame and the lighting fixture - stand out and yet still serves a functional role.
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.
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!
Outside of the reveal, the Graham Cam is one of my favorite parts of these videos. I am inspired by the application of his creativity - making your amazing ideas into real life!
A custom sized cushion that curved with the bookshelf-seat would have looked so much better than the smaller custom choice which makes the bench look cheap
Such a beautiful change for her. Now instead of walking into her study and sleep place, she is entering a warm, comforting space in which to really relax.
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!
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.
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 😊
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.
..."returning week after week"? I sit and watch show after show every night! Everything about your show is bright and fresh and new and inspiring. Often I would not make the same purchases as you do and at the finish I recognize gleefully the miracle you have just created! Thank you and don't ever go away! (from an 84 year old. Am I your oldest fan?)
Even though you have a certain recognizable style, the makeovers are so diverse and still surprising! Over all these years! And y'all are just lovely entertainers. - Oh, and Hannah's dress in her new room was so on point. Much love, Team AG!
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. ❤
Graham really is a master carpenter. His talents know no boundaries, imo. I know you hear this every other comment, lol, but he truly is such an amazing addition to your team. Great job on this makeover. I love everything about it! Thanks Team AG!! 🫶
I love that you leaned into the vintage style / I feel like we can learn so much when we go outside of our comfort zone. And that reading bench is AMAZING
Absolutely beautiful! Hands down my favorite bedroom makeover! 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. I just wish you lived near Philadelphia! Great video!
I don't understand why people watch yet don't subscribe; this is one of the best channels! I'm not on Instagram much, but I'll subscribe anyway. You've been a huge influence; I'm currently working on my bedroom but I'm stuck because I need a PhD to put together my bedframe 😂 I seriously need help! Oh, BrookLinen! I'm currently saving up to buy the hardcore bundle. I just purchased two down pillows elsewhere; I can't sleep on any other type of pillows. I'll probably have more to comment on because I'm not done watching this video and it's something that is speaking to me so much!
I agree with her- This space- “Is *_stunning!_* Holy cow! Wow. This is _*gorgeous! Oh my God, wow…love this color! This light is _so beautiful._ Oh my gosh, wow! This is gonna be a game changer for me to be able to actually sleep. This is _so good!_ It’s so beautiful! I’m so excited!” _end quote_ 😍😍😍
You (all) won't be able to pat yourselves on the back for this genius make-over because hands are already there, patting away! Great, fabulous work! You & your team are such a treat!❤
I like the ceiling lamp in her bedroom. (Towards the very end of this vid, when Graham mentions about the barnwood from an actor that worked and appeared on the tv show, 'Suits'. He doesn't know who he is because he said he never watched the show. Alexandra's expression was priceless. 😅🤣😂)
Everything is so pretty. Graham did a nice job on the window bench. Can I suggest going one more small step and be creative with the light switch plates and outlet socket plates. There is so much you can do with them.
I love how you took her inspiration pics and brought it to life. Makes things very accessible for the rest of us. One thing: So where does she store her sweaters that used to be in the blanket box?
Wow,love your just "go ahead new and not yet done before" attitude....that turns out beautifully. Well done!! You've done the old vintage wooden pieces such justice but kept the atmosphere dreamy and warm and light. You guys are so talented....adore watching your mood uplifting and inspo videos. Thank you Alexandra G and team❤🎉😂
This room looks so warm and cozy. Walking into this room probably feels like stepping into a.warm bath. Great work team AG!! Oh and obsessed with the flower pendant!
'It's so beautiful' - I agree whole-heartedly with Hannah. You really are growing as an interior designer, at high speed. Congratulations on a fantastic room❤
I feel as though every person really fits into the room that has just been made over - that shows what talent AG has! She has a special talent of truly suiting each space to the individual. I wish she could do my kitchen!
Wow! I was worried about the lamp being to low, but of course, you already knew that and propped it up on some books. Someone with that many books needs to be able to read in bed!
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.
It's hard to pick my favorite part of the room....the new ceiling fixture, the window seat, the artwork above the bed. I'm just going to say everything:))
Wow, I never tough dark colours can make such difference to make sleeping space more hommy and better for sleeping😮 That is one of the best makeovers I saw on this channel. Great choice of colours combination.
Her space was cute to begin with, and you elevated it to its full potential! Absolutely gorgeous and in my top 5 favorite make overs from you. The bench is absolutely beautiful!
As soon as i saw the inspo i thought of the color "sulking room pink" and i am a bit sad they didn't use that. One of my favourite paint color names and a deliciously moody pink. The antique furniture is so beautiful and i love hiw the makeover was centered around it. Graham always does such a fantastic job, the bench is amazing
Someone needs to give this team a legit television show. You guys consistently produce better quality makeovers than 95% of what is on tv. The best!
This is the highest of praise, thank you!
I keep expecting to see them on HGTV! So much better than most of the stuff I watch there!
They'd lose their lives to the show. I love the videos just the way they are 😊
AG team is Architectural Digest material. AG on AD - it even sounds right.
this is better than a TV show, because Alexandra can make all the decisions v.s doing what some other executive producer wants them to do ^_^
Graham has really taken this show to a whole new level and I feel like his skills grow with every project, too.
He has some serious job security. I can't imagine telling any boss I've ever had that I lied to them just to get out of doing what they needed. That shelf would have looked so much better stained, too.
Concur! Cheers to Graham!
That's why you test oiling and staining on an offcut.
Would have loved the textured, old wood in there.
Maybe even with some light up the (diffused LED strip, uplight).
Though totally understand him not repeating all the sanding 😇
And he already did so much with the window seat,that turned out great. Wish they would have made a custom top that follows the curves...
Tip: To keep a seat cushion from sliding I used a piece of non slip rug pad and cut it smaller than the cushion so it did not peek out.
yes i did this for my outdoor furniture since it has the weather proofing, the cushions were slipping everywhere and this hack WORKS
Like the terra-cotta, but not so much. Room looks cavernous. LOVE the light and use of heirloom furniture.❤
Has Graham ever considered selling his design sketches?? They’re beautiful visuals, I’m envisioning an eclectic space with his sketch in a matted frame 👌🏼 10/10 would endulge
Okay I was so impressed by his sketching too! I think it'd be so cool to put them in each space they finish as a little souvenir!
I've been pushing the suggestion for ages for Graham to publish his own diy book, from beginners to experts!! I know I'd buy it for a start ...

I love it when you do a moody style, it's just so cozy and warm. I was never allowed to consider any dark paints growing up because we had a small house and my parents didn't want it to feel smaller. Now that I've moved out of course they are considering it finally. I showed them your videos and they've been converted.
Growing up, I was only allowed white walls. The reasoning was always that I could change the colour with curtains and accents. My dad changed his mindset as he got a new wife, and my mom still thinks like that (she is an artist, however, and her walls are full of paintings). And after a lot of unlearning and many AG videos, I finally live in a green walled oasis :D If I ever own my own space, I will for sure do some moody styles, too. They are just so pretty! Team AG is really killing it
Hannah's so happy! Good job
IMO the bedside table and lamp are too low but I absolutely love the ceiling light! Looks very cozy to come home to and relax, read or fall asleep. I like that you worked with family pieces she already had and loves, really fits the atmosphere of the room and proves they stand the test of time.
I love your whole team but Graham is the BEST addition to this team - he works MAGIC every single time!
Graham's addition to the AG team really makes everything tv worthy, no offense to Chico, though I love the mam,, but Graham being a regular AG team is just something else 😂😂😂.
Incredible bench/window seat. Can't figure out why you would use such a low table and lamp? Everything else wonderful as always. Someone said great way to start your Saturday and I couldn't agree more. Love your videos.
Really enjoying the more traditional styling in this room. So warm and cozy. I wasn’t sure about the paint color at first but I think it adds the perfect ambiance needed here. 👍
OMG, Graham deserves an award for that bench!! ❤
I actually think that the shelf looks good painted and I would prefer it over having left it natural. It lets all of the other things - like the bed frame and the lighting fixture - stand out and yet still serves a functional role.
Agreed. A Happy accident. 😊👍
The reds and pinks and browns are really giving womb vibes - which might not have been the intention, but works great thematically given her job, lol!
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.
Agree, that Roman shade was inspired! It's exactly what the room needs.
The flower light pendant is everything 🌸
This may be my favorite episode yet! Plus, Graham doesn't get nearly enough credit! He is a genius!
I like the cozy feel and eclectic, vintage vibe. The flower art and light shade make this feminine and youthful.
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!
Outside of the reveal, the Graham Cam is one of my favorite parts of these videos. I am inspired by the application of his creativity - making your amazing ideas into real life!
A custom sized cushion that curved with the bookshelf-seat would have looked so much better than the smaller custom choice which makes the bench look cheap
Such a beautiful change for her. Now instead of walking into her study and sleep place, she is entering a warm, comforting space in which to really relax.
The bedroom is now like being in a getaway place. Such beautiful atmosphere 😍
It's the perfect room to read something like The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe!
so glad they kept the lamp! all of the unique vintage pieces really make this makeover so special. it's like a modern take on tradition!
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!
Chocolate banana bread perfectly reflects this design ❤ A timeless classic with a modern twist!
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.
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 😊
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.
AG is a big reason I love Saturdays! I live vicariously through all her clients :)
everyone needs a Graham
..."returning week after week"? I sit and watch show after show every night! Everything about your show is bright and fresh and new and inspiring. Often I would not make the same purchases as you do and at the finish I recognize gleefully the miracle you have just created! Thank you and don't ever go away! (from an 84 year old. Am I your oldest fan?)
Even though you have a certain recognizable style, the makeovers are so diverse and still surprising! Over all these years! And y'all are just lovely entertainers. - Oh, and Hannah's dress in her new room was so on point. Much love, Team AG!
I love that wall color! Like a blend of a tea brown and rose. ❤
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. ❤
Graham really is a master carpenter. His talents know no boundaries, imo. I know you hear this every other comment, lol, but he truly is such an amazing addition to your team. Great job on this makeover. I love everything about it! Thanks Team AG!! 🫶
I love that you leaned into the vintage style / I feel like we can learn so much when we go outside of our comfort zone. And that reading bench is AMAZING
This is one of my favorite room makeovers. Love that color
Absolutely beautiful! Hands down my favorite bedroom makeover!
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.
I just wish you lived near Philadelphia!
Great video!
Such a lovely comment thank you!!!
It's lovely to see your clients' happiness at the end of the makeover. 😀
This is one of my favourites! The warm earthy autumn colours, the dark wood, just so calming :)
So beautiful, I hope you do more moody rooms! You deserve a tv show for sure!
I don't understand why people watch yet don't subscribe; this is one of the best channels! I'm not on Instagram much, but I'll subscribe anyway.
You've been a huge influence; I'm currently working on my bedroom but I'm stuck because I need a PhD to put together my bedframe 😂 I seriously need help!
Oh, BrookLinen! I'm currently saving up to buy the hardcore bundle. I just purchased two down pillows elsewhere; I can't sleep on any other type of pillows.
I'll probably have more to comment on because I'm not done watching this video and it's something that is speaking to me so much!
I agree with her- This space-
“Is *_stunning!_* Holy cow! Wow. This is _*gorgeous! Oh my God, wow…love this color! This light is _so beautiful._ Oh my gosh, wow! This is gonna be a game changer for me to be able to actually sleep. This is _so good!_ It’s so beautiful! I’m so excited!” _end quote_
😍😍😍
Love love love that flower light and the pic above the bed! The bench is goals too!
I think Hannah said it best.... Amazing. Fantastic makeover. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Alexandra, you look fabulous.
The wall colour. ❤ The light. ❤ The bench. ❤ Love it all. Great job Alexandra 😊
You (all) won't be able to pat yourselves on the back for this genius make-over because hands are already there, patting away!
Great, fabulous work! You & your team are such a treat!❤
I freaking love that light fixture and all the earthy colors
I like the ceiling lamp in her bedroom. (Towards the very end of this vid, when Graham mentions about the barnwood from an actor that worked and appeared on the tv show, 'Suits'. He doesn't know who he is because he said he never watched the show. Alexandra's expression was priceless. 😅🤣😂)
Everything is so pretty. Graham did a nice job on the window bench. Can I suggest going one more small step and be creative with the light switch plates and outlet socket plates. There is so much you can do with them.
Graham is so fire he can bring that drill over any time.
I love how you took her inspiration pics and brought it to life. Makes things very accessible for the rest of us. One thing: So where does she store her sweaters that used to be in the blanket box?
Wow,love your just "go ahead new and not yet done before" attitude....that turns out beautifully. Well done!!
You've done the old vintage wooden pieces such justice but kept the atmosphere dreamy and warm and light.
You guys are so talented....adore watching your mood uplifting and inspo videos. Thank you Alexandra G and team❤🎉😂
This room looks so warm and cozy. Walking into this room probably feels like stepping into a.warm bath. Great work team AG!! Oh and obsessed with the flower pendant!
What I like about this channel is its dealing with real spaces with issues that are improved. Super good work!
'It's so beautiful' - I agree whole-heartedly with Hannah.
You really are growing as an interior designer, at high speed. Congratulations on a fantastic room❤
I feel as though every person really fits into the room that has just been made over - that shows what talent AG has! She has a special talent of truly suiting each space to the individual. I wish she could do my kitchen!
I’ll try to make the same book shelf for my daughters but for toys/house for little dolls! the idea is amazing and I have a window just like that
Ok I cried when I saw your mood board. You listen and hear what the person wants and add your brilliance! You are amazing. Wonderful
Wow! I was worried about the lamp being to low, but of course, you already knew that and propped it up on some books. Someone with that many books needs to be able to read in bed!
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.
Love the canvas art, the awesome light fixture and of course, Graham's custom bench/bookcase.
So warm and cozy yet fresh….I love the color of the walls. The window seat is so welcoming. 🥰
It's hard to pick my favorite part of the room....the new ceiling fixture, the window seat, the artwork above the bed. I'm just going to say everything:))
Alex, of course, your ideas are so great, but Gram, YOU rock in making the ideas come to life...Gorgeous! Final...Oh, love Brooklinen.
The room's like a warm hug. Beautiful.
Wow, I never tough dark colours can make such difference to make sleeping space more hommy and better for sleeping😮 That is one of the best makeovers I saw on this channel. Great choice of colours combination.
Her space was cute to begin with, and you elevated it to its full potential! Absolutely gorgeous and in my top 5 favorite make overs from you. The bench is absolutely beautiful!
Everything about this show is as close to perfection as it gets. And I come from this tv production world. It’s really impressive. Bravo AG team.
I love the wall colour with the antique furniture, that ceiling light works so well too! the window seat is sooo good. amazing job team AG!!!
loved everything, the color, the fact that the bed and dresser work, that lamp, but THAT BENCH is a masterpiece.
I really love how the space turned out, but some of those plants are not gonna be very happy on that shelf for very long 🥲
Much labor of love. Fun to watch and get ideas
That light is so beautiful and so perfect for the space. Fabulous makeover, and a fabulous reveal. Great job, Team AG!
As soon as i saw the inspo i thought of the color "sulking room pink" and i am a bit sad they didn't use that. One of my favourite paint color names and a deliciously moody pink. The antique furniture is so beautiful and i love hiw the makeover was centered around it. Graham always does such a fantastic job, the bench is amazing
A warm nest for sure. Love the ceiling light and the painting you chose.
The wall colour made all the difference! Wow! So cozy ♡
