Years ago I used my hall closet as a sewing room. My husband built a table top, it was great because I could sew anytime I wanted. If company came I just shut the door.

So great! It's really nice to be able to close the door at the end of the work day!

I really admire how you are handling the pandemic. This is such a safe space and I appreciate it so much.

RocketSinc that means so much to me, thank you!

I feel like everyone needs their own space (no matter how small) in these times so this is a great video!

Yes I agree! And thank you for watching!

Looks great! I'm glad you went with the pink, the dark gray might have felt oppressive in such a small space.

I love how you said if you feel like doing stuff do it but if you feel like laying on the couch then lay on the couch !!! I do a little of both 🥰 I absolutely love the office it’s fresh and very cheerful I’m so glad that you did that !! One tiny thing I would move that basket on the floor to the left side instead of the right because you can see it from the left better in your pictures and because the door is on the left it would give you more foot room on the right side if that makes any sense to you 😬 keep ‘em coming Alexandra !!😎

i love the closet office idea for someone who works at home and wants to separate their professional space from their personal. when they're all done they can just close it up and it's out of sight!

Love pegboards, so neat and tidy. I can’t believe how much Lottie has grown! ❤️

I suggested turning our closet into a lil work space for him and he just laughed at the idea! Don't feel that silly now haha

Living vicariously through you. We had to move during this pandemic (didn’t want to!) and ikea’s shipping is so delayed in our area we are having to wait weeks and weeks. There are many more problems in the world, so I’m not complaining, but I’m glad to be able to watch someone else organize while I can’t!

Omg same! We ordered the “self collection” delivery option, regret it because we will probably only be able to do that in a month or even two :(

Alexandra Gater Thanks!

Alexandra Gator, I love you and your channel. You not only have such inspirational and do-able creative ideas, your calming voice and positive attitude are helping me and more than 100,000 viewers of just this segment alone to stay calm, learn new skills, and feel good about staying home in our homes you have helped to make warm safe havens during this time of social distancing to help flatten the curve of Covid-19. You are one of my sheroes. Be safe, be well, and take care. With love and hugs from South Carolina, US.

Mirror tiles surrounding peg board to reflect natural light!

It turned out so pretty! If you feel extra bored you could project the pattern of the wallpaper onto the wall and line it very lightly with a pencil and paint over the lines with white wall paint :) then you would have the exact pattern but diy-ed it ;)

Awesome idea!

Thank you for the skill share 2 months FREE😍! I’ve been binge watching you today while staying inside sewing with the AC on. It’s so hot and humid out today. Thank you sweet girl. You are fun and creative to watch. Much 💕

I know I'm a while late to finally watching this but thank you so much for this, I'm giving a mini-makeover to my boss's office and I love the ikea pegboard system! My lovely boss is a counselor who works with a lot of kids and teens and continues to work hard during the pandemic. She works out of an older building that came furnished with some dated pieces - desk, table, shelves, etc - and I work in her office opposite days of her during this time so I'm going to give her a lil surprise makeover =) It won't be as big a change as this but it'll certainly add some much-needed organization to her life (one of the main reasons she hired me!) and brighten up her desk. Thank you Alexandra!!! Your videos are a highlight of my week.

Good idea using a closet as a workspace! 💛 I’m always making a mess when I’m filming because I have no dedicated space yet! Maybe once I see some more growth I’ll set something up! Thanks for the inspiration! 🙌🏼

So happy I found you! I’m in Texas, bought my first house 2 years ago, and have a craft/office that needs you! I just love watching your videos.

You are giving me so much inspo to make a closet office for my jewellery making 🙌 😍❤️

Awww yay! I say do it!

Peachy pink is lovely! Small space done right! Stay safe!

Dark and mooooody, I loved the charcoal grey!

OMG! You had me at pom pom push pins! Sooo totally you and I had no idea they even existed! Major Smiling! I really loved the change the paint made in your space. Great color choice. Passionate about that peg board! Thanks for the inspiration! Stay healthy and safe! Keep the videos coming!

Looks great! That is a really good pink. It makes the whole room look more cohesive.

Love! Those decals would be cute on the side walls in your office

Love your update. I would have removed the door and hung a curtain to maximize opening AND give impression of being a window!

The color choice was perfect.

I loved this version better than last one. Simple, cute, efficient.

I was rooting for the peachy wallpaper as well as the one on the bottom right, so happy you chose the peachy one looks so good ! I agree with you on the green, your green pieces are a muted green ! Love it 🌟🦋💖

That birch frame around the TV got me! This is the first time it's made sense to me why someone would want it. I just thought you had a beautiful piece of art on the wall.

I have totally been in an Alexandra Gater marathon. I love Everything you make over!!!

Completely loved the transition, it even gave me some inspiration on what to do with my daughters space in her room and how to make more efficient 😍🤍

Beautiful!! I suggest you to paint the door knob a metallic color like gold or rose gold ❤️

Looks great, as soon as you add also bright lighting, it will be perfect!

Love the office remake. Like the color you chose

During this time this particular video is so useful even without a business at home, we, which means me, need to handle business in a small separated orderly space. Thank you. And your sponsors.Keep well

So cute! I would give that monstera plant a mosspole for it to climb as it is kinda floppy the way it is now. I think the extra height would fill in that blank space beside the TV nicely. Love your videos.

I don't think I ever said thank you for your first video about your closet office inspiring me to do the same with mine. It's doing double time as a closet and an office, but I realized it was such a ridiculously BIG space for clothes for one person and I hated having an office corner in my bedroom. Rethought my organization, reduced my amount of clothes Marie Kondo style (haven't regretted it, realized I had way too many clothes), and moved my desk right on in. It's like I just made another room, plus I can shut the door on my work when I'm done. This has been particularly useful now that I'm working from home. I love it.

I’m so glad you swayed away from the green. Totally agree with you and the color came out amazing!!!! Love the new space. Feels so tidy and organized ❤️

Love this! So so glad you went with that colour, and painted it beautifully. I would love an office like this...need to MAJORLY declutter the spare room!

This was a huge success! I love that you kept it neutral as well💕 I think a closet office is such a cute idea. Great job👌👍💯

Great video! You always make everything look so easy and beautiful. I have been thinking of redecorating my whole house (30+ years old). There are 2 things that I have meaning to ask you and your friend DIY Danie about. First I think you both need to get together and create a book on what you both do best. I think that would make a great coffee table book and I would never be able to put it down. 2nd, how can I hire you and Danie come to my home and redo my original 80's style kitchen? Thanks and have an awesome day.

Loved!! Painting the door was lovely! Never would have thought of that. Very subtle but makes a statement of that makes sense. Motivating!

so much better with the paint background, the color is great and without a pattern so your board and office things are the decor, which is so pretty. love how everything ties together. if you feel you need more task light, i found these new generation led pop lights that go under a shelf, and it can either be attached with a screw, included or command strips also included. bright light in a small, movable, and rent friendly package.

I miss your black wall light 😍😭 I love it, definitely loving the pink wall. X

Hi Alexandra, You are a REAL bright ray of sunshine to so many of us during these dark days. Please keep up your FANTASTIC work. Best regards, David

Thank you for your kind opening words regarding our current new normal; it was super encouraging. Your closet/office turned out so well! Love it and love your videos.

Thank you so much for posting US LINKS!!!! 😍😍😍🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 game changer!!!

Another “win”! Thank you for sharing. Your office nook is charming.

Cutteee!! I LOVE THAT PAINT COLOR!!

I love Lottie and Harriet....oh yeah the closet office space too

Absolutely love the paint color! The whole makeover is soooooo well done. I wish you could do a bazillion makeovers for us to watch! I completely changed my living room around today. Gives me a whole new perspective on everything for awhile. Karen Florida

What a great addition to your living room! Beautiful job!

So cute, adorable and practical. Love the pink color.

Wow what a great transformation! This might be my new favorite!

This was such a great video! I really loved how it turned out...it's cute but also very practical. And I love that paint color!

Alexandra!!! You're so awesome!! Girl power 💪. I admire how you can mount everything on the wall. ✨☺️ I understand and think it was the best idea to keep the same colour palette in your closet as well. It works much better than the wallpaper before. 😘 Lots of hugs from Germany

Wow, I love what you did!! I always look forward to Wed & Sat to see what you are up to in your space. Thank you for making my day!!!

So much creativity in such a small space - fantastic!

So well timed! Last night I rewatched your original home office makeover, as I'm beginning to convert one of my closets into an office and storage area. Brilliant!!

Loved every single thing. Color is beautiful.

I am getting super inspired to makeover my office space at home, since now I have been using it full time preparing lessons and grading assignments! I want to make it cute and peaceful for when I have live instruction time with my students. Your style really resonates with what I think it will make it very nice to share through the screen with my little ones, and still enjoy it while working on my own. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas!! You are awesome!!

Hey, this was a great little quarantine makeover! Love it! I liked it with the banana leaf wallpaper too, but now it’s like office closet improved version 2.0, simple, tidy, and elegant. Great job! I would like to see you use it more though... Also, I know you have doors there, but I would suggest putting those cables out of the cats’ reach. You never know when they are going to decide to bite through those... believe me, it happened to me out of the blue, so now I am always careful where I put them. ❤️

Love it!! I especially love the fact you painted the door. That pink color is gorgeous! Take care💕

Did the same thing a few weeks ago. However, I 86ed my doors, added some fairy lights, and a curtain for an ergonomics chair. That back support is important!

Amazing makeover! Loved it! Love the paint colour! Good choice!!!

I love the ikea peg boards, it opens more counter space! ❤️ I have the white one for my office and I love it.

It looks so pretty and functional. Love it! Great job!

I turned an old entertainment center (very small with 2 small doors on front ) and took doors off and added a small curtain and now my cat uses that and no1 ever knows where it is because its in our coat closet.. love how you added a little kitty door!

Also love the color in the office!!!!!

I absolutely love your closet make over!! The pink is so pretty!

Thank you for all your video content. In a time like this, your videos makes me so happy. Love you 😊

Nicely done. I love the pink on the walls and the closet door, it makes the door stand out from the wall. I have been doing some major spring cleaning and re-organizing on and off. (So I don't get too tired all at once). I have also taken time to just relax, watch some TV and online videos. I have started clearing some shelves in my closet. (Did the kitchen and bathroom).

Love the painted door!!!

What a cute make over, Alexandra. I have the IKEA pegboard over my sewing machine and love it! So many little organizers for it to keep what you need within arms reach.

Love your refreshed cloffice!!

Great redo of that space Alexandra, I'm loving that soft peachy pink, so girly yet not too girly. I love how it is simple and so organized with that peg board, super cool. Thanks for this video, since I am an essential worker I have not been isolated like so many people, so when I do get time I have been organizing and getting rid of things I no longer need or want. It's very liberating to get things organized and make the space look better. Most of my space is small since I live in a house that is less than 800 square feet, but lately I have been having a great time cleaning and organizing things, I will be painting my walls which should really change the look of things and for sure brighten the room. Thanks again Alexandra, stay safe and I will see you soon, sending love and hugs, bye for now.

Thank you so much for the free 2 months of Skill Share Alexandra!! Soooo excited to explore it 😀 Love your micro office too. Stay well !!

Hey Alexandra! Please could you make a video about how to add personality to a space that you cant change the furniture of, for example university dorms. Thank you and keep the amazing videos! 💛💛

I love the color you went with and how you painted the door as well. It looks lovely!

Really good way we all can cope in this situation, really helpful.

You have some great ideas I want to tryout in my mini office space.

👏👏👏👏 Lovely! Looks pretty AND functional.

Yusssssssssss! This office is sooooooo stinkin' cute! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you decided to paint the door! 😀

Saw this posted and thought, she did this already with the fab leaf wallpaper. Now I get it. Looks great. Love the Ikea cat litter box hack. What a fantastic idea.

Love this video! Going to be making me an office space for my business now

Wow, amazing job! So satisfying to see the end result!!

Loved this makeover. I never thought a peg board could look so good!

OMG I LOVE THE ARC system!! I got one this year for school and I freaking love it so much

Lovely! Can't wait for Wednesday's video!

It turned out so cute! Such a cozy workspace💓

Love skill share! So many classes for everything. It's been awesome this last month

It looks so good! I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with our bedroom closet since it’s open and I’m so tempted to paint it all pink like this! 🤩

OMG Love the color. It turned out sooooooo cute and organized. I love the idea of the basket. I am going to use that idea to hide all of my printer and computer cords. Thanks for the great video!

Thank you for the free two months of skill share! I am excited to try it now that I'm home with my kids. I have been slowly renovating our house while my husband is at work and hopefully this will give me more ideas! Love your channel and I love your face!

Simple yet excellent! Often we reach excellence by just trying a little harder!

Love love love it!!

I truly ❤️ your cloffice!!!

I love that pegboard, so versatile! Also, definitely think you were right to go for the pink rather than the green, keeps the spacd lovely and bright ☺

Good choice on the color, like the stool too.👍👍

That stool is bomb. Good job alexandra, I love that you keep yourself active

Thank you for such a good inspiration! I am about to redo my small walk in closet to my home office and this video gave me some ideas!

Great job done! It looks really calm and organised!!!👍👍👍👍👍
