Hi Make My Space Work fam 👋
We have a REAL LIFE makeover for you today 🎉 but please note that this episode was filmed PRIOR to physical distancing regulations. We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we loved filming it! 🎥
What if you were a young beauty CEO 💄 with who has just moved into your FIRST office and it's...less than beautiful? This is exactly the predicament that 24-year-old CEO Bili finds herself in. She began her subscription beauty box business, Tribe Beauty Box, two weeks after graduating college and with only a $200 initial investment 🤯. A few years later and she's so successful she needs an office for herself and her staff! However, her space is very uninspiring and not at all a reflection of her colourful brand and personality. In this episode, Alexandra goes for pretty and pink 🌺 and uses a simple-yet-effective DIY technique to create an accent wall fit for Bili's dreams. Will Alexandra be able to pull off a beautiful makeover that satisfies this young go-getter? Watch to find out!

    The paper flowers were a super cute idea especially with the pompom push pins! Loved that. I would’ve appreciated showing some organization and general styling of the other side of her office even if you weren’t bringing anything new in over there. I was left worrying that her office was less functional bc of the makeover

    I wish you would have shown the rst of the room, even if it's not so pretty, it's still her office and she needs to do all that work.. It always seems a bit off that all of a sudden all her " work stuff" is gone. All the supplys, products, packing station.. Even if the functional things are not so picture perfect I would love to see them as well even if you just reorganized them in a more practical way. seeing you gave them a FUNCTIONING office/space rather than just the cute makeover. :) otherwise it sometims feels like you want/have to hide things from the viewer by not showing the rest of the room.. I really don't mean it in a bad way, I loved this makeover, it swas such a big change!! It looks so great and fits her company and style!!! ❤️ Just thought I'd leave some honest feedback as I'm sure you want to improve constantly 😘😘 Never miss a video on both of your channels by the way, absolute fan of your work ❤️

    I love Alexandra but I feel like there was missed opportunities here I guess. She may have painted the accent circle in black which is also the brand’s color and affixed the brand logo in neon lighting (pink) to make it pop. She mentioned they already had the logo sign done but it looks a bit too small in proportion to the wall maybe? Also if the circle was painted in black the gold lamp in front would have popped more but maybe the client didn’t want a high contrast accent, who knows? the flowers while beautiful look a bit too craftsy to me like they belong more in a bridal shower or wedding. They would look absolutely stunning in a festive event. Since it is a beauty subscription box, instead of the florals Alexandra may have doodled or framed some minimalistic cosmetic/skincare illustrations or silhouettes in black which might have looked more polished and stayed on theme. But I do think there is a part 2 to the video since she mentioned she’s tackling that side of the room first

    Miracle Spyer I hope you’re right about a part two because this really isn’t it. And she does just so many small spaces and rental spaces so it’s not like those were limitations for her. It’s just undone and the more I watch her other videos the more this one sticks out

They would say something like the client lost money, they could ve done a lot more with $900 instead of splurging on something specific ... then Alexandra clarified that the money is not coming out of the client's pocket, but it's actually a gift from shopify, and then stopped the counter.

    Such a cute result, love the black and pink, such a young but on trend vibe. And what an inspiration the young boss babe is! Wish we had tribe beauty in Australia x
