Yaay, welcome to the squad 🎉🎉
I like how you leaned into the warm wood tones already in the floor. As someone who lives in a place full of warm wood, it’s refreshing to see it embraced after over a decade of grim gray wood tones.
I love the Graham-cam 📷! I can’t wait to see what he makes in each makeover 😊👏👍
Don't worry AG we all GirlBoss too close to the sun sometimes. I think the age old expression goes, What matters isn't the size of your overhead spherical rice paper light but how it fits in the room as a whole.
My favorite thing about Alessandra’s designs is that they are never matchy matchy. All the colors and furniture come together beautifully.

Ok ok AG, heres my overdue subscription!! You deserve a million. I do love watching your work, personality, wonderful team, great videos, and Lottie is a beautie, too. Btw, just got Brooklinen, love love, and raved about not only the linens but you too. ❤😊❤😊

It's youtube's "fault", if you watch a few videos from a channel, the algorithm will then show you all the new videos from that channel, without you being subscribed to it, this happened to me with several channels (you don't even realize you're not subscribed ).

They’re a great couple! He affirms everything she says🥹
This channel is so great for discovering new shops and makers. I just love it. I have purchased many a piece from these shops after learning about them on this channel.
I was so happy to see Lottie in the background of the Cricut shot. I miss seeing her. Such a beautiful makeover.
That's a staggering amount of people watching your videos who haven't subscribed. I know I was always shocked that you hadn't surpassed one million subscribers.
PERFECT choice for the table centerpiece. Drama - but also, like - Chill. lol
this video just shows how insanely alexandras design skills improved. i remember an older mid century style video of yours where it wasquite good but not yet there... and now with this video you just NAILED IT. this is so gorgeous and on par with the moodboard! stunning!

IMO....she's losing it
As a Designer myself, the simplicity of the Scandinavian style has always been my favorite.The fact that the couple's living room had such bold colors, it would've been great if you'd carried more of that into the room in the wall art and curtains. And the wooden chairs were stunning, just wish all were in that design to make it more cohesive.
I love the wabisabi feel of the rounded shapes, natural tones and materials, and different shapes and textures. This is my dream living room!
I’ve been subscribed since you had 800 or so subscribers. I remember when I subscribed, KZread kept popping up your older vids that I hadn’t seen, which was great - more than one vid a week for awhile!😊 it’s been fantastic watching your business grow. Shout out to Graham for those fabulous shelves!
The ginormous light!! 😂 Great save, Alexandra!
Simply gorgeous dining room. I love that bar cabinet. The drapes turned out so pretty. So many beautiful touches. And those shelves that Graham made are perfect.
So cute- Alexandra is still grounded and humbled. Notice how she blushed when she is told that they trust her … and that he watches all her “ show and tell makeovers “ and start to finish diy projects that the team pulls off with aplomb. ❤
Best part of my Saturday!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩
Your channel deserves more recognition Your talent and your content is superb 💜
Love it ❤ I'm 60 years old and obsessed with your style. I am from Germany. I'm currently doing a make over of my kitchen. Started with new handles, I hadn't seen your videos yet. I've also built a small kitchen island. The worktops are also being replaced. Plus a new sink and tap. The kitchen will be completely different. And I'm already planning the transformation of the bedroom. I've seen a lot of good tips from you recently that will help me. I love the videos from Team AG. 😁❤️💪
I’m just waiting for the million views and followers. You are my favorite deco channel ! Such a great team !
It needs a floor lamp and maybe a couple of wall art posters and then it’s perfect ❤
I'm in love with Gram, his artistry, kindness and handsomeness!!! .... but I live in Australia 😁
I love this room. Such a clean look. So glad you hemmed the curtains. If it were my dining room, I'd try the bar cabinet under the open shelving. Where it is now, I don't think it can take advantage of the super wide opening doors.

I was wondering about those doors too😂
As a owner of the Hay Paper Latern - the large is massive! The medium is always the way to go!
I love how you combine your design knowledge with exactly what the person wants and create beautiful rooms ❤
I love the makeovers you do, and the videos are made better by having the little bloopers 🤣 great job! X
Not related to the makeover, but i want to say I dig their living room rug! They seem like a sweet couple. Having a dining room is really lovely - enjoy it!
Cute bar cart! Only $2200! What a steal! Going to thrift today.
Every single time I watch one of your videos, my day is brighter and more productive. Amazing and inspiring design. Absolutely love it. Have a great weekend! 👍👍👍👍👍
That portable pillar drill jig 👀👀👀 Something that made me think of you, you can get the components to make a multi gang extension lead using pretty braided flex cable, they come in all sorts of colours, styles and can be made to a custom length. Someone competent in electrics like Graham will have no trouble at that DIY. Just a cute way of getting power from an outlet to say a lamp or to have on hand as a pretty alternative to your bog standard white multi gang. I saw it done in a fancy millionaires house working as an electrician.
Love seeing your videos I especially like that you take time to make over your co-workers spaces .
Congratulations on 700,000 Subscribers. I've really grown to like Alexandra and the Team. I think I had the wrong impression of Alexandra at first. Truthfully, I and really see a lot of my self in Alexandra... from the semi-bougieness to the obession with reading and Homesense and cute but functional design. I love this channel.
I am addicted to this channel. ❤ hello from the Netherlands
Time out. You just said “I really want to get to A MILLION followers.” Whoa. That’s so impressive! I’m so proud of you and Team AG for getting to the point where you can actually say such a thing and it’s realistic!! 🎉
When they said they like how big the lamp is 😂 like they didnt even know what they couldve had

Always enjoy watching. A plate channel along the back of shelves would have been great too. Alessandra, please don't light the candle on the bottom shelf, and save that nice bar cabinet Alexandra picked for you by putting a tray under the bottles! Enjoy your space!
I want to like this video more than once! Is there a cool cat cafe or sanctuary in your area that you could treat to a makeover? Feels like a purrrrfect collab! I just want more cat saloon doors.
I have recently stumbled across your channel again, after watching your very first studio fix years ago when you did your friend Katie’s apartment. I’ve been binging your latest videos trying to catch up on everything you’ve done in the last three years and I have to say an ‘Alessandra video’ without you tapping on a table.😂
I’M SO EXCITED FOR THE DARK ACADEMIA VIDEO
Hi Alexandra, I am a French single mother with a teenage son. I'm watching you from Normandy. I really appreciate your videos because I find that you listen very closely to the people you help and you really take their tastes and desires into account. I hope you will come to France soon: I will apply for a makeover of my little house ! ❤❤❤
Very pretty room! I love the rounded shelves and bar cabinet! The misses, in my opinion, are the walls by the bar cabinet. I think the wall above the cabinet could have used something to help ground it, like a shelf. That would also be the perfect place to display glassware and would give them more room on the bigger shelves for their books/decor as they unpack. Also, the piece of art is lovely, but completely disappers on the large, light wall. Maybe that looks better in-person?
Alexandra hi!Your videos helped me with my new 28scrft apartment at the center of Athens Greece.And i mean a lot 😊 THANKS A LOT 🎉
Loved this so much! At the start of the video my boyfriend (who never watched this kind of content on YT but does sit down to watch Team AG with me) asked "you've been subscribed for years now, right? She's your KZread bestie" and that made me laugh. Can't understand why this channel doesn't have more subscribers, to be honest! I'm sure you guys will get to one million soon. Keep on being awesome!
The tablecloth curtains are ridiculous 😂.
This is the first day I found your site. I'm definitely hooked. You are wonderful.
Beautiful shelves. Oh I laughed out loud when I saw that ball light! That is HUGE!! Sorry but it was so funny ! Love your channel!
I love their existing coffee table. Such a beautiful piece
I get your videos on Sunday mornings in Australia and I love my morning relaxing time with you on Sundays. Thanks. Also wow. This gorgeos decorating of this room is perfect.
Oh gosh this makeover turned out so incredible, it really does look so great. so many beautiful things all around. I also really love those shelves that Graham created those are so pretty. I also really love using a cricut to create so many gorgeous things and those napkins are so beautiful. I just wish sometimes that you were close to where I am living and then you could come to my house and redesign my livingroom, but I love all of the inspiration that you and your wonderful team are capable of. I really love how great Graham is at making and creating so many beautiful things. Thanks so much Alexandra for another awesome video that was again so much fun to watch. I am wishing you a beautiful and blessed day, sending love and lots of hugs, bye! 😄🥰🤗👋👍👍🙏🙏🙏💕💜
My fave Saturday morning activity is watching a new video from Team AG 🙌🏼🥹🫶🏼
I remember when anything Parisian was put in decor. Now it's everything Morocco!
I really didn't think the bar cabinet looked right where you put it until I saw the finished room. Looking through into the sitting room with the cabinet on one side and the mirror on the other side of the opening looked just perfect. Really clever design.
You can see your light with the original light shade. 😢absolutely stunning design and beautiful space. Lesley England x
Honestly the best product ad I've seen on You Tube! The best argument to my "why do I need one?" And of course, killer design. Thanks!
Nice, simple room that let's the wood speak. Nothing overly cutesy. Great job!
really missed your KZread video. It's like a ritual to see you every day after work... but haven't seen many videos uploads on youtube
The space ended up looking a bit more spacious too. Beautiful.
what a lovely couple...they are so going to enjoy the lovely space you created for them!!!!
I've been meaning to comment, I LOVE Graham, but the content has become hard to imagine how a regular person can get the same or similar effect. I would so appreciate an alternate product mentioned (something similar or a way a non-Graham-accessible person might be able to replicate). Your videos used to be so accessible to all of us who actually don't really have any advanced skills. I love you and your team and your videos, I want to make that part clear.
One of my favorite makeovers thus far. Those shelves & bar cabinet are lovely.
Fabulous Makeover!!!👌🏻 Dining area flows into the living area! Very nice!🫶🏻
Oh wow! Such a different style than the team normally does but it all came together so beautifully. It really suited the rest of the home also.
So nice! The table, chairs and benches - such a pretty wood tone. The bar cabinet! I need! So way cool! And the floating shelves?!! WOW! Have a blessed day! Enjoy your week!! xxoo
It looks so great and I really love the rug!
Oooo makeover video PRE workshop makeover!!
Scandi is hands down my favorite style I'm so excited to see the results!!
“We girlbossed too close to the sun” im gonna steal that one
One of my favorite things to hear is some variation of, "this is your best work." or "you outdid yourself." Because it means she hit their style and their tastes PERFECTLY. It's exactly what they love, and I love that for them. And it shows her talent in flexing for the client, instead of just working with what she's comfortable with over and over.
Hi Team AG! I’m always so excited to watch the new videos at the weekend, thanks for all your hard work. I especially love watching the diy/built-in aspects of your designs come together. The products you use are usually out of my price range, so I’m looking forward to seeing more of this in you future videos. xx
Your videos are such a comfort watch. Thank you for the lovely content!
It’ll be fun to play short straw for the bench that all 3 guests have to move at once to get in and out and can’t lean back to relax on. A bench even with a back is a pain. Just words from experience to consider.
Awwe I’m so sad I woke up this Saturday and last Saturday so excited for an AG video, super miss them. This one was amazing!!
You may want to put a tray on top of the bar cabinet to protect the wood surface from wet bottles and spills.
Cha-Ching! Another fantastic job by Team AG…it looks beautiful!
I can't believe you don't have a million subscribers yet just seems crazy I Thought you already had a million
Beautiful, elegant dining room! I love it!.
Thank you for your videos/work! This design was beautiful as all of them are. I feel like watching these videos also gives me a better idea of what ideas look like turned into reality. It is hard to picture sometimes what a mood board looks like in action but seeing so many of these feels like it has trained my mind somehow...? lol
Great dining room and I love the bar CABINET! Also a great save on the light fixture. My question is, who made their coffee table! A coffee table made for books!
Not me stopping work on a website proposal to watch my next favorite room design on a Saturday morning. ❤
