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!

Love to see young people, especially young black women, going against the normal of working for someone and creating their own businesses. Great job with the design Alexandra it looks amazing
The way you "framed" her in the backdrop is very creative. Well done, young lady. And thank you for not saying "girl boss." Just BOSS.
Love this, and I especially love that this young black woman is chasing her dream and making things happen for herself.
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
Fantastic job. But where did you put the functional part of her business? ie printer, products, boxes, postal label maker, shipping???

@@drei5573 ha home office minus all the office stuff. Basically a showroom for feelings
Like others have commented, I wish we could see the other side where all the printers, shipping labels and supply storage goes. Trying to incorporate those elements is always a challenge and I really want to see your take on it to help get ideas on how to deal with my own lol. Love the flowers here though
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 know right, i was asking myself the same questions. What about the boxes that were there, or even the printer? Where did it all go? I would love to do something similar with my office, but i have a printer and so much paper, it's not all cute :/

Nika I redid my entire office and I got a bookcase used and placed my printers at the bottom of the bookcase so u don’t see them and they’re all plugged in so u can use them. Hopefully that helps u. I think function is important and if ur creative u can combine the two more effectively
Thank you for helping Tribe Beauty Box with this make over. So refreshing you are working with people of color. Great job.
As a brown person, I just want to say thank you for being an ally. I love that you’re highlighting minority owned business like the First Nations’ sisters store (I actually bought one of their scarves because of your video!), and Tribe Beauty. I’ll definitely be checking out her beauty boxes!

KimmyD89 yes her happiness really shone through! I loved the reaction part of this video the most ❤️❤️❤️
It felt a little bit empty to me. Alexandra said it herself that there's really not much going on. It feels like this time she played it a bit too safe. However, I was excited to see this episode. So keep up the good work Alexandra!

Thank you for saying that! I was thinking the same especially with how they both described the company. It’s really bare considering how much we know Alexandra loves to play with patterns/ textures. It’s a Black Owned beauty company too so I really expected more vibrancy

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
This one is the most empowering makeover so far!!! Really moved by how Alexandra just changed the place.
Bili is gorgeous!!! Stunning bone structure and hair and wow what a boss babe!!! Congrats to her!
Shout out to Xico! He seems like a great guy!
I almost cry seeing this girl so empowered by your job. Amazing ! Every time you surprise me !

I mean "your work" , sorry !
I ❤ what she said about her space! I know that feeling of "This is me?" and "This is ME!"
My favorite transformation so far! Thus young lady is as inspirational as her space!
More black businesses!! This was so good!
Beautiful space! Bili is a badass 😊. So glad she gets to have that visual reminder everyday of what she has done and continues to do. I think this is more important than where the printer ended up. Great job, both of you!!
i think alexandra did a fantastic job! the printer and all those other details can just go against another wall, sheesh. and hopefully there is a part two cause i love bili's energy (and skin; drop the routine, please)!
One of my favorite makeovers! Gorgeous! Billie looks beautiful and powerful behind her desk! Go Billie CEO! Thanks, Alexandra for this inspiring makeover! ❤️
She should use the picture with her feet up on her wall captioned, 'The Boss' or as her you tube picture.

I think because people used to comment on that!! 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.

Love Bili and her whole business and personality. Wish her office makeover had a little more to it. She deserved more for being so awesome!
really love your stuff alexandra! but i've gotta say this one seems empty? keeping the rest of the walls white, no artwork on the other walls, she mentioned she loves color and you brought in a very muted pink. for an office makeover that is supposed to give us ideas for our own office it would be helpful to see how you styled her printer as well as all of her shipping supplies. just felt a bit underwhelmed with this one!

Agreed. I would have floated the shelves (with more styling), added a rug, and maybe even a mirror, as well..
Bili's reaction = priceless!! Love the simple clean style, and how on brand it is for her!
So inspiring and her work place is now absolutely BEAUTIFUL! It does look like a CEO office. Great Job and I pray that her business flourish!!!
No rug on the floor??? What??? What happened to the printer!!! The corner looks good but what about the rest of the room???
Alexandra you are so inspiring and an example to people like us who want to chase our dreams. Pls pls pls do a video capturing your daily routine just so that we also understand the hardworking you put behind the beautiful work and we know the success doesn't come easily. Pls let us know about the initial struggles and confusions and how you overcame all that. This will help us not leave what we start and keep chasing.
absolutely love her! this space is so beautiful,suits her perfectly :)
Love it!! She looks so beautiful behind her desk! So proud of both of you!!
Her head fits perfectly in the circle when at the desk lol! Super cute!
This is by far my favorite office makeover. I love the simple decor. It has such a BIG impact.
Beautiful, simple, lovely workspace! I especially like the white shelving unit. Good job!
Yesss I love make my space work! Her reaction was so genuine, the makeover was simple yet stunning and Alexandra is so professional!what more could you want? 🤣

I love this series! Good on her for starting her own business. At that age I would never have done that! Lovely lovely makeover.
I love how adorably happy Alexandra looks when she hears she's a badass :-). Great job!
I have enjoyed many of your makeovers for young entrepreneurs but this one has to be the best one yet. Bili is pretty amazing too. It is a hard slog to set up a business. I hope she continues to do well.
Aw I love it when their reactions are like this! Sometimes I’m yelling at the screen like “be more excited and happy!!” 😂
Beautiful job for a beautiful and deserving client.
I love a color lipstick you have on and what a great job you did! Love your videos!
her reaction was so moving. What a wonderful feeling that must be for you. Nice job!
That circle idea is so cool! It would be so fun to make it and paint it to look like the moon.
CONGRATULATIONS on making your dreams come true. The office came out beautiful, love it.
Literally was binge watching since yesterday and a new video pop up. What a miracle 😅
Very cute but there’s no function. Again I feel you put cuteness first. I’m hoping there’s more we didn’t see for fax/printer and general office equipment.
Omgoodness 😝BADASS?!?!?!!!! This is just fantastic, Bili Gods Blessings, Alex Gods Blessings to you as well! Y’all keep up the good work ❤️😀
My favorite office space transformation so far! Beautiful!!!
This came out so good. I love it. And those pom pom push pins, OMG, were perfect for the flowers. 🌺
I love what you do. I see that you are not worried about the budget anymore. I wish I didn't have to worry about it.
I love how you transformed the space.
She seemed so thrilled!
And Xico's jumper matches the walls again! :D
Really good Alexandra! You made a powerful space for her.
So beautifully!! Love the wall with circle with flowers
I thought it would have more pink Like a area rug or chairs or something.I still liked it.

Wow! Phenomenal job! I think this space is so inspiring and will be so great for her to work in and create awesome new products. Better than I thought it would have turned out for a relatively simple makeover!!
Awesome transformation :) simple and effective
Planning on doing the circle behind my desk in my office/gaming room!
Oh my gosh, I am so happy for her. You go gurl!! Love it Alexandra. 💜
Omg the flowers in the wall, the circle, wow. Amazing makeover Alexandra!
Love how the simplicity of the room. Always love your designs Alexandra.😘
LOVE everything!!!
Best reaction I’ve seen of your makeovers!
Thanks, Alexandria! I’m glad you’re sharing your pre-pandemic footage. It makes for a little piece of normal during the day.
Ohhh so fun to see how it all turned out after seeing some of the process in the vlog! I have to say I just love Bili, she seems like such a boss!
Such a sweet reaction. You did great, so beautiful and clever, perfect for a beauty company.
Absolutely Wonderful !!
Her reaction is the best part of the video! Alexandra agrees 😁
What a lovely reaction 😍
Soooooo pretty. Alexandra your work is growing day by day.
Love this makeover!
I JUST LOVE CHICO!!!!
Her reaction got me so emotional!
It's absolutely gorgeous !! Love the pink circle & the shelves soooo pretty !! Great job girl ! & by the way you look so cute in those overalls !!
Hiiii! I love you so much and your makeovers inspire me so much💕❤️
Love the flowers! So pretty! -Lindsay
So beautiful!
I love the designs, but I am tired of seeing pink/pale pink/soft pink/blush pink, etc. I REALY look forward to seeing more home and office spaces with DIFFERENT colors. I've been rocking with this channel for years now. But glad she loved it! And keep working! BlackGirlMagic sequence.
wow...loved that pink circle & the flowers 😍🥰
FAB makeover - best of luck Bili!!!!
Best one in forever! Sooooo cute
I feel so happy for her success. I hope that during this Pandemic she could stay in business. You did a lovely entrance to show her products. Thank you. As I am inventing my own spot at home alone it gives me confidence.
So great. She can use the back for pictures too, like her calling card. Really cool. :-)
Omg she's so sweet
Great! You did it again. Good luck! Thanks.
Love this! YASSSSSS to EVERYTHING
How beautiful!!!
I love this!
Love it! Great job!
Obsessed with the flowers 😍
Alexandra and Bili are sooo sweet!
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
This is amazing 👏 !
