Yes! Art should be personal and meaningful, not just match in style and color. That's my one gripe with all the DIY/Home Decor people I follow (Alexandra is one of my two favorites). They put art on the walls of other people's homes that is not meaningful to the person. I understand why they do it (they need to do a complete job), but I wish they would talk to their client and ask them to collect art themselves that can be used in the space.

@@TamarLitvotI agree. I have started to imagine that all these recipients of the makeovers start to switch out the generic art for their own style one piece at a time as soon as they find something that speaks to them in their price range. On the other hand, I would _never_ allow someone to come into my house and start removing and changing what I've done and what speaks to me, because it's my style and I gather what I like together, and I think it has cohesion and makes me happy and works great together because of all that. It's nobody's style but my own. And I am independent and don't need anyone else telling me that it works together and oohing and ahhing over it to make me feel good about it. I trust my judgement. And I'm guessing a lot of people that watch shows like these feel the same way. But then there are those who like a certain "feel" in their houses but have no sense of how to create it and pull the whole thing together. Those are primarily the people that I imagine are signing up for these makeovers, and maybe they don't care one iota whether the art is meaningful to them or not.

It looks like Graham wisely left the Barbie artwork at the store but it was sweet of him to think of getting something for James. I love that Team AG is such a little family. This is a beautiful bedroom and your thrifted finds - artwork, free-standing mirror and the green dresser fit this decor style perfectly. I’m not sure that using all new pieces would work for granny chic. I literally laughed out loud when Graham suggested getting “lots of soaps” for a granny-inspired room! He’s actually not wrong! My Nan’s bedroom always carried the scent of Jergen’s hand cream and lavender. I love that you included “Little Women” on the marble ledge. 🥰

It's a very pretty room -- love the wallpaper and the bed and especially the chest of drawers -- perfection! The overhead light is gorgeous. Once you changed the shade on the taller lamp, those two different lamps are a good touch. My only gripe is the bedside tables. They're very nice but a vintage set would have worked better and also, they don't provide the kind of organized space that Niamh made clear is important to her. But that's so much less important than how lovely the room is in general.

This makeover is magical and I’m obsessed with how it turned out, but I would love to see y’all thrift more. Of all the rooms you’ve done, this one would have been PERFECT for thrifted things and I think the second hand piece would have added to the cozy nature, pieces that have history and stories. Home Sense has great pieces and I understand the need for it, when you’re looking for specific things, but the knick knacks and styling pieces especially I would love to see more thrifting. The adventure of the hunt and the treasures you can find, plus giving things a new life. Like, the thrifted mirror at the end was one of my favorite pieces of the whole room.
Graham finding pieces to gift everyone in HomeSense is so me 😂 P.S. Love how Niamh can now grab ✨AeSTheTiC✨bedside tables in an emergency Edit: It's only been 42 minutes guys. 10 likes is more than I've ever had 🥳

Our pelmets have that same swooped detailing but are wood. They work as room darkeners. When you have darkening curtains without pelmets, the light from outside still shines up on the ceiling. I didn't know they had a name though, so cool!

😊Sounds sweet. FYI that shape is called "scalloped." Some small cabin/cottage style houses in LA built in 1950s had wood scalloped accents in the kitchen🤍. Thought it was charming, but later homeowners were quick to tear them out😂. Liked the pelmet in the woven basket material here. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
Pelmets traditionally seal the gaps around the top of the curtain rail, saving on heating and cooling. I am always surprised by the flimsy curtains and rails in the cool climate you live in. Here in my semi tropics we have dispensed with pelmets by running a track on the ceiling and the fittings on the curtains face upwards with a disguising pleating. We have two tracks per window one curtain is a fine linen for light but heat protection and the next is more heavily lined to block the light and keep the cool inside. Glad to see a pelmet. Love a great fan !!

I love everything about the makeover except that the side tables are very obviously not sufficient for her needs. They barely fit the lamps and have one small hard to reach through storage space rather than actual drawers. This style of side table is more suited to a living room or guest bedroom, not for storing all of your most important things as she said she needed.

Your design senses really kicked in with the window treatment, marble shelf, lamps and shades. Very French without compromising function. She looked so happy with the results! A million years ago, with 0 budget I made pelmuts out of cardboard and Waverly wallpaper scraps for my windows. Cheap and lightweight and covered the mess of previous tenants nails and screws.
I liked this makeover very much. The wallpaper and artwork go so well with the bed frame and tables. The only thing that I thought needed some change were the closet doors. Maybe a different color.

While the OP doesn’t specify the exact situation they are in that prevents wallpaper, a trick I’ve used in situations where I cannot paint or wallpaper is to use foam core. Foam core can be attached to the wall with Command Strips. You can paint, wallpaper, and glue fabric to the foam core. It’s great for dorm rooms which often come with rules preventing any alteration of the walls.

I am so in love with the contrast between the common space and the bedroom. At some point in my lifetime, I want to re-create Lady Mary Crawley's red bedroom with a more modern eclectic, (read minimalist being a maximalist) and colorful living room. Love this makeover!💃🏻
That wall paper is everything! Love William Morris prints!
My god it's sooo refereshing seeing a decoration with this theme and vibe...i persinally am sick of seeing the same white 'aesthetic' bedroom with the same vine/leaves hanging some where and calling it a day This was sooo amazing!❤❤❤
Oh, I'm so envious of Niamh! I love the vibes and now I need to do my bedroom! I've got oil paintings that my paternal G'ma painted sitting on my floor because I thought I needed to hang everything a "certain" way. I've got some ideas for a gallery wall now in my livingroom and bedroom.
Also, Carla demonstrates her genius again with closing shots. You too, James 🎉
I don't understand why anyone would say bad negative things to or about you. I think you are amazing, to be so young! ❤
Yes!!!Love the William Morris inspired wallpaper...so perfect for the theme of this makeover.
So much right with this room, just a few adjustments that could have improved it ... 1. The difference in the closet door and its trim from the rest of the room is distracting and somewhat jarring, not cozy or calming. The door should have been painted to match the walls and the trim muted to match the pink in the wallpaper or the throw on the bed. 2. The wicker pieces sticking out of the lampshade should be trimmed. 3. Something subtle should be placed over the closet door to add interest and bring the eye up.
i feel like you guys have mastered the wallpapering technique by this point! it's so satisfying to watch!
I love this makeover! When I moved into my house there was a wooden pelmet with trim detail over a sliding door. The door was moved and altered to be hinged and used on a newly created powder room and I wanted to repurpose the pelmet. I realised it was just a little wider than the kitchen window and as I was going for a 50’s style kitchen with curtains I put up the pelmet to cover the curtain track and it looks great.
Graham is such a gem. ❤
Shopping with Graham! 😂 I love this space ❤ It is so fun and cozy.
Something about this makeover is so satisfying, like getting a soothing sweet tea time! While the picture wall was appropriate I personally wound have picked lighter colors except for the tree painting, which I loved! The wallpaper was Devine!
Fabulous! If anything, maybe attach the marble to the radiator or wall somehow? Marble can crack if it is bumped off. You could use l-brackets upside down to hold the marble in place without drilling in it. Or maybe use classy metal ties? They come in brass, silver and gold looks and literally are cut to the length you need at the hardware store. You can make cute bowes in the front of the marble or on top, or hide the twist/bows underneath - Heat won’t bother them.
Yes, William Morris EVERYTHING, even rugs.
This is my FAVORITE bedroom makeover to date. Love love love it!!!!!!!
Tears! Every. Single. Time!! Very nice! Love the mirror - gorgeous!! Her dad's art - sweet! Still getting used to the 2 different lamps; it doesn't work with OCD!!! Graham - needs more trips to HomeSense! Probably a good distraction from all the detailing work he does - need a break once-in-a-while. Have a blessed day!! xxoo
I have a pelmet in my bedroom from a CARDBOARD KIT my mom got in the 90s, folded and covered by fabric from the headboard we made ourselves 12 years ago. Not having light leakage out the top of the curtains? AWESOME.
Huge Williams Morris fan. Really love the more modern color ways in addition to the more traditional ones.
I love everything about this makeover. Her inspiration photos is exactly what she her room looks like. Its beautiful unique and cozy. Great job guys thanks Alexandra
Looks great! Another team AG success. Graham's first trip to Homesense 🤣 loved it! I know you thrifted but I'm wondering why you didn't paint and reuse her original dresser?
Love William Morris! Great job team AG. I am getting small country manor vibes from this. Love it.
Beautiful!I would've changed the light switch cap too just for added detail...you found so many thrifted vintage looking things,the side table lamps/lamp shades,the mirrors..the art...and you changed the door knobs on the dresser and revived the actuall door knob on the room door...a light switch cap in the same style would've 100% completed the look.But beautiful none the less.You guys started 2024 with a Bang.👏
I am going to take so many notes from this video to decorate my new apartment!! This bedroom is so lovely it is everything I've been wanting for myself, thank you team ag for a great makeover as always
Adding that marble to the radiator was a stroke of genius. Love this style so much!
My favorite makeover ever. Raised on the coast in California, maximalist, grandmother here loving how you captured my heart. Love your work. Hated the non matching lights UNTIL you changed the shade. You nailed it.
Great makeover!!!❤️❤️ I want to do this style also and I'm searching for inspo and you uploaded this, thanks 😍😍 the only thing I would do is to wallpaper all the walls and wallpaper the closet door to look like wood or something because they seem too modern compared to the rest of the space 😊 all in all great makeover, cant wait to see more!!❤❤❤
