As a retired decorator I can say that you did a brilliant job. Everything in life is a learning curve and the more you decorate the more confident you become. There are lots of folk telling you to do it a certain way, but you're doing it the best way, your way, and the feeling of achievement at the end is all down to you.

All of the above is true 🤗 i only advice her to take better care of some safety . The way she was cutting the shelf and holding it in balance with her foot was a bit careless wasn’t it .

@@ilselauwers6009 I always think that you learn more from the mistakes you make far more that being told by others what to do. Watching this video I was more concerned for Alex over stretching on those small steps while filling the ceiling, a little later on she had taller steps. As a professional decorator I always paint a room ceiling first, then walls then woodwork, Alex did the walls first, doing it her way still achieved the same results.

That overhead shade makes the walls look like they are wallpapered. I love it. Great job!

What a cosy room! I'm sure your guests loved it 🙂

I have a feeling the guests are from Manchester 😍

Lovely job ladies. The colors and bedside lights give the room such a cozy glow. Black out curtains are perfect as they not only help insulate ,but provide no sunlight for those late sleepers.

I love how strong and able you both are. So creative, I am so jealous of your skills.

I love the top skirting boards! They shall be so named, hence forth. And I have a chatty cat, as well. It makes talking to them all that more satisfying, when they answer back. I love the color and the final result. Green and orange is such an underutilized color scheme. The colors give the room such warmth. Once the floor cornices are installed and the floor and door refinished, this will look like a room in a fancy spa retreat.

Great job, I loved the over bed lights and the antique vent over the window and the Vincent van Gogh chair🪑 very lovely room now❤️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Poor Alex, overcome with all that dust. You did an amazing job! I admire how calm you both are; you never rush about, but still everything gets done, and done very well.

What a lovely job you did of the room. A real transformation! Well done girls. Love Janice ❤ xxx Made my day seeing "Blue". Always a cat in my day and l'm happy.

What an amazing transformation. Its simply a delightful cosy warm room now. Excellent work.

I commend your dedication to getting this bed room sorted. You worked very hard in making the walls lovely and smooth, ready for painting. Filling in cracks all over the old walls of your home. What a lovely room it turned out to be. It really looked so comfortable and cosy. What a great job you did. Your visitors will love staying. ❤ xx

If you position the curtain hooks at the bottom edge of the top stiffened strip, then you will be able to cover the curtain rod mechanism with the top of the curtain.

Great stuff but why not unscrew the switches? Much easier to paint when they are not attach to the wall and less cleaning to do afterwards 😊

It’s lovely Alex. Well done.

Alex worked so hard on the room, I'm so impressed! It was worth it because the room came out beautiful and so cozy. I love all the extra touches of the plants, pictures, baskets and the beautiful color combinations. Your guests will feel so special.❤

What an AMAZING transformation ❤️❤️❤️ Alex you did an absolute awesome job. I love the light shade, it gives the bare walls texture. I hope your company appreciates all of the work you put into this room for them.

It’s amazing what you’ve done with that room. So cozy and inviting ♥️♥️♥️

The view is a key feature. Less curtain more window. Deep set window is fabulous. I personally wouldn’t hide that. All in all great colors and style !

It's amazing how much bigger it looks now, too. What a lovely guest room.

Your hard work on the renovation paid off! The room is so warm and inviting. I am partial to soft greens myself!! Wonderful job! Take care!

Beautiful job!!! You get my like and suscription!!! I’m Dusanka, have 65 years old and I see you from Chile!!!😘😘😘😘😘

Kitty complaining is the cutest thing ever 😻

Fresh, airy, and comfortable- everything you'd want for a guestroom. I think I'd give that orange blanket a shave to get off any pills or clinging fluff. Looking forward to seeing your craft room too.

Could I just mention... how much I love the fancy foot-work Alex uses to bring her chop-saw into submission..?

You are absolutely amazing Alex! A huge example.

Congratulations on the stunning room. Alex you have worked hard to create a great room. The finishing touch that you and Gail made added resulted in the perfect room ❤️🇦🇺❤️

The room is stunning. I hope your guests enjoy and appreciate all you have done. In the 1800's people hung their curtains so they "puddled" onto the floor. It was a show of wealth that spilled over. It is still found in many Southern mansions in the U.S. Just a bit of useless information. 😊 Have a great visit.

One suggestion, make sure that your door knob isn’t going to bash into your mirror when the door opens all the way. But great color and great job!

I can't believe how hard you work! It's a wonderful result. You can run your vacuum while you are sanding - it helps a little.

Alex, great restoration job on the guest room! The finished room looks beautiful. ❤

my house was built by a father for his daughter in 1911, and I have the same slanted ceilings and gables, but with wood frame, no stone, except for a fireplace. but each and every wall that is short like that has a walk (stooped over) closet, I had friends with a baby who moved in for a few months and they made a darling bedroom for their little girl , the closet runs half of the length of the room which is huge. it also has window seats, the front is over a porch, so it extends about 6 feet out from the main building, but the city calls it a 1 1/2 story building, although the bedrooms are huge. we have three bedrooms up and several down. Ihave the crown molding also, plus down stairs I have another window seat storage area, and a leaded glass pass through cupboard from the kitchen. the ceilings are 9 feet high. it is a wonderful old house with heating problems and all, but I love it. I bought it and ran my in home day care in it. so much room with a nice side garden of twocity lots.

Lovely result, Ladies! Your guests will feel welcome and comfortable.

So much dust you disappear in a haze, glad you were wearing the right equipment ❤

Great job....but oh how I wanted to straighten that orange blanket on the bed!!

We all want to come and visit now that the room is done. 🙂

Cozy and so inviting your guests will feel comfortable and relaxed in this room indeed!

The bedroom looks stunning...so calming & cosy.You both have worked your magic on it❤

Alex, you are the queen of video, sanding, filling and generally hard work,, such motivation is an inspiration to us all and the result is jaw-droppingly brilliant, what an amazing transformation, literally AWESOME, cheers girls!!!🥰🥰🤗

What an amazing job you have done Alex. Your ‘winging it’ produced a stunning room.

Watching you use the table saw holing the wood with your foot made me think of the shop teacher we had in College. He was great! He’d always have stories about things going wrong in the classes he taught or in the various workshops he’d worked in. They were always hilarious cautionary tales. The final exam we had in his class we knew that there would be a bonus question on it. I joked that it would be something like “Name three ways you can die while using a pencil in the shop”. It wasn’t, of course, but we were disappointed.

Sanctuary of peaceful tranquility 💜💫💫💫💫💫

Wow. I have your exact sander. I take my small shop vac hose and hook it to my sander and turn it on while I’m sanding. All the dust goes into the shop vac. No dust and no clean up. Much easier. You did a fantastic job it looked beautiful!❤

There was some orbs moving around when you shown the results, it was not just dust particules because they were actually moving around very fast... The room end result was very beautiful but im a bit disappointed that we didnt get to see Alex in that beautiful long dress as shown in the thumbnail...

Girl, you work your bum off. The room looks great, and I love the colors you choose. I always enjoy all your videos.

I love that old house it’s like a castle and those lights are really nice😊❤

It so warm and inviting now! Great job, ladies!!! You make us all proud!

Ladies, I have to tell you how much I love that room. Alex you have done an amazing job.

Cozy. The ceiliñg lamp brings wonderful life to the room. You made the redec look effortless.

You've done a great job. Love the special touches with the remote switches and the brass tone cover plate. Your guests will find the room very cozy. You will be very motivated to finish the pending projects. Great start!! 😊

It turned out nice and cozy. What a wonderful guest room for some lucky person.

I’ve been excited to see what you lovely and capable ladies would do with this room, and WOW! The aesthetic is so perfect. You both make me smile!

Such beautiful music! And the rain sounds so lush! Blue is so attentive and his little voice is so plaintive. Beautiful work Alex. You should feel so accomplished!

Ladies it looks brilliant and the work you put into it has reaped rewards! Well done and I mean well done bug Pat on the back I feel! Thanks for sharing!

That bedroom turned out gorgeous. I hope your guests love it as much as I do. Have a blessed week.

Friendly ,cozy and definately beautiful.

Fantastic job. Your hard work really paid off. Congratulations Alex and mom.

You made the room appear larger, and it's very inviting now.

Wonderful job! The room looks so inviting and comfy! I am loving your newest channel’s videos showing how you live in Scotland in your awesome old house! Thank you for sharing!

In America Up is On And Down is Off. That's funny , but right.❤😊 Like we drive on the right side of the rode and y'all drive on the Left. Such differences is what makes things intriguing and interesting.

Alex je te nomme meilleure bricoleuse de l' année 2023. Bravo pour tout le travail de rénovation que tu as réalisé.

Looks fab ladies, well done. You need to gather the string on the green curtains to give a proper heading to them. Tie up one end before you gather it or it will pull through. Your guests will love the room.

Wow! the room that love built. Spectacular job. Really enjoyed watching you create the look. Thank you for sharing with us all. God Bless you both! N.C. USA.

Well done girls, you did a wonderful job, it looks so nice after, and with all the bits and bobs you put in there, it looks very inviting and pretty.

Impressive work. I heard the cat. I had to see what was going on with my cats. I wandered through the house and found them both resting contentedly. When I returned to the video, I discovered it was your cat calling out!

O I meant to say it looks so restful wwith the soft green and the wardrobe is a good colour with the blanket and the chair and under pillow slips, it all ties in very nicely.

Alex, you are such a skilled individual with so many talents! It will serve you well in life. You’re very impressive!

Wow, just wonderful! Tackling all aspects of this project you're amazing, you can be very proud of yourself!

WOW Alex! You did an EXCELLENT job! Love the music too!

The room turned out lovely. I would sleep in it. That green is my favorite color.

A very cozy room! Will be a very comfy bedroom for anyone.

Lovely job ladies. A little tip on the curtains that you are supposed to do, is to pull the cords on the heading tapes at the back and it gathers the curtains up to fit your windows and gets rid of all the gapeing between each ring/hooks. Hope you don't mind the tip. I had the tip myself many years ago from someone who made curtains for a living.

Your bedroom looks lovely now! You chose calming colors and did a great job!

Wow, what a great job! I Love the colors too. All you need is a cushion at the base of the window for a reading nook.

Alex you did a BEAUTIFUL job! The looks AMAZING. You ladies are absolutely amazing. I so look forward to whatever comes next. I'm sure your company thoroughly enjoyed staying in this fantastic room. Or will if they haven't come to visit yet. Beautiful job. ❤

Nice job...never saw anybody use their foot to hold the wood, with a skill saw...lol

I really do like you guys. I love watching you every day doing everything you do. You help me get off my but and do things that need to be done here. I love it. I really need the motivation, so thank you so very much. I love your personalities at well. You don't complain about every nlittle thing. You just get the job done. Thank you so very much. 7/13/ 24 Panama City, Florida

I just love the beautiful music you use with your videos. Your room looks great! 😊

Your kitty was definitely complaining about being ignored while both you and your mom were busy. It was finally too much and it was time to “Complain to the Management”! 😤😤😤🤭🤭😊😊

Now that's a beautiful room! Serene and welcoming. Your guests are going to sleep in heavenly peace. 🤗❤️🌈🙏🕊️

Hello Gail and Alex! Wow, Alex you did an amazing job...the room looks so comfy and cozy. I absolutely love the ceiling light shade, it truly gives the room dimension and movement from the design it throws off. Your company is going to be very comfortable in the room. Looking forward to see the next projects. Big ((Hugs)) from Texas!🤗💙😊💚

That came together so cozy and warm. I would feel very comfortable there. Wonderful job ladies. Donna Michigan

Beautiful room..Love the textures and the wicker shadows...you did good, Alex.

What a lovely tranquil space you have created - well done girls. Your hard work really has paid off. Beautiful x

Gorgeous, ladies!! It's turned out just lovely! So peaceful! 😍🕊️🪴

Everything looks great. You did good. Awesome

Such a lovely room, I love everything about it... So homely and elegant!

Absolutely brilliant! Cosy and very inviting! Great job, Alex!! 💖💖💖

❤ Beautiful my sweet across the pond friends.

It's great to see that Alex knows her stuff! I use a bigger version of that chop saw and it's so handy (if heavy). I put an old vintage spatter glass flycatcher light shade up in my bedroom and I'd love a house full of them 😂 wall and skirting prep before painting is one of the most tedious jobs 😭

Love the music at 21.25, beautiful! And love what you did with the room ❤

Wow’ 🎉 Alex!!!you are such a star 🌟 and bring so much joy’ you and your mum and are amazing! 😊

That room is very lovely . You ladies did a great job.Give yourself a pat on the back❤😊

I have a ladder like that and love it. It stores easily too ♥️♥️♥️

There's a really decent filler that comes ready mixed in a white tub and is white in colour. Don't recall it's name, but it saves the time of mixing and keeps well, unlike the stuff in tubes. I believe this is probably the only video channel where a viewer can watch someone caulking accompanied by a madrigal(?). The room looks warm. Good job.

That's lovely. You have both done a beautiful job on the redecoration.

My, you have been busy. The room looks lovely and peaceful Alex.

Hi lovely ladies, what a difference, looks amazing so much warmer and inviting ❤️ ❤❤ much love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
