Thank you so so much Alexandra and team AG! It’s a rainy day today and Gili and I both spent most of the day snuggled up on the sofa in class or napping 🥰 The space has gone from under utilized to being the most used in the apartment! I’m thrilled with the way it turned out and am so excited to share it with people in person when it’s safe to do so! Much much love and gratitude ❤️

I am thinking about doing it too, but I realized that the lampshade "cage" or "frame" has to NOT touch the light bulb(s). You have to be able to wedge it beside the light bulb and fixture in general to get it close enough to the ceiling. Not as easy as it looks and wouldn't work for everyone. Plus I'd like to cover up the bottom of the hanging shade...this will take some thought.

That lampshade trick is amazing. I have so many ceiling lights with no covers. There just weren’t any when we moved in, but we aren’t ready to completely replace the lights yet so that’s so an amazing hack that I can make them look a little nicer for the time being

I really enjoyed this one, the green colour was definitely the right choice, and EVA is amazing to hear and watch, she could be part of AG team easily.

I agree about the color. Bland. The sage is much warmer. Especially liked the light shade, the chair & brass floor lamp. Love the hands holding necklaces. Love it!

And what's best,the dog feels good about it. After all,he is the star. Thank you. This room does justice for these two working out a room from a distance.

Loved this makeover! Probably because it included the client making the suggested changes. I loved how she was honest in the paint color choice and you went with her suggestion. Well done AG team!!!

The renter friendly pendant blew my mind 🤯 I have the ugliest boob lights in my town home, but they have weird LED hardwired lights that can’t be easily removed, so I haven’t been able to change them out. Now I can just cover them up! 😍

I haven’t used anything but a single piece of cardboard to set the paint tray on for years. However, I will say that Alexandra is a MUCH better designer … than she is a painter; So I can see her disbelief. 😉

Loved the new couch, light fixtures, and amazing art on the wall. It went from college dorm to stylish eclectic. She just needed some inspiration- YOU!!

Eva way to go! If you can do all that work by yourself I can reorganize my one office. It can seem overwhelming but you painted, repainted, built a sofa and rearranged furniture and created a pendant light and hung shelves! I know Team AG had your back however the physical execution was all you! Great job. 💖💖💖

Eva is brave to do all of this by herself... kudos to her

I like the sage better and Eva's painting got better the 2nd time around!! Eva I love ya girl, but I wanted to come paint for you. Also that pretty little dog looks fabulous on her new couch....way ta go Enjoy your new space You guys did good!

I love that she did it all herself!

Eva has such a great personality! What a fun episode, loved it Alexandra ❣️

Putting shelves up first, then using level and saying its broken, mood!!

I love Eva and her happy energy!

What a difference! I'm so impressed with your design and Eva's hard work. Love the sofa, love the rug, the bookshelf looks so much better where it is now, and the "tiled" entryway is genius! Great job, one and all!

I like this series because usually I think "wow look at what Alexandra and the crew can do" and when I see a video like this is "wow look at what I can do". And I'm happy to say that my last 3 days were almost entirelly dedicated to makeover my bedroom, something I never did and I live alone for almost 10 years. I have to tell that You were my inspiration and it was one of the best weekends of the entire quarentine so far ( yeah, it's still quarentine in Brasil, this beautiful but horribly governed country).

Was she working with the super glue on her new coach?? I LOVE how the living room space is now separate and enclosed. It really gives a feeling of a special living/studying/socializing zone.

I love everything about this so much. I totally would have kept the Opera color, but the sage is really nice too! And she's gotta live with it, so she should like it. :) I love the rug and having it round looks fabulous. Eva was a delight to watch, too!

I painted my bedroom in "opera" and I have dark and light grey bedding, etc. It looks so good on the walls, and so good with the grey. I absolutely love the combo. Where the sage color may be more her style, it does nothing for the couch and accessories. Nevertheless, the space turned out quite nice! I like it.

Gosh, this is by far my most favorite video...Eva is fabulous, such a good sport and coordinating/completing this project virtually during a difficult period of the pandemic was truly an awesome feat. So light hearted and joyful and inspiring even now that things are back to 'normal'...

I love that that smart doggy hesitated about jumping on The New sofa

OMG!!! I am totally going to use the idea to put a lampshade with 3 hooks on the ceiling xx 🤗

One of my favorites! I keep rewatching whenever I need small space inspiration. It would be fun to watch another Eva makeover!

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed watching Eva! So gorgeous. I really need some of those gallery shelves. Thank you for showing the lampshade hack, as well.

Excellent job. The lampshade for the horrible ceiling light is super cool and with the cup hook installation so easy. Beautiful, functional space!!!

Really appreciated this video! My apartment’s living/dining room is about the same size and I almost never see rooms this small represented in videos like these

Eva is great! 😍 So entertaining and natural. I love the second paint color more, too. It's a comfy nook on the sofa under the shelves 😊

I loved this video. I felt like it was filled with so many real world problems, yet the end result looks beautiful. I love the new colour and am glad to have seen 2 options on the world. I love the picture rails and how they were styled, but I especially love the lamp shade and the gold light. Stunning.

Wow, too cute. Amazing shelves as side tables, entryway definition, light fixture, shelf divider, all great Alexandra.

The light shade is totally amazing!! I totally, totally love it!!! Totally!!

I’m always impressed with the small spaces that people live in…you always do a great job at making them more functional. The light hack was 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.

Love the results and yes, the green is much more appropriate - nice background for the plants too. Really nice space division made the entire space more functional as well as making it feel more open and spacious.

Love the make over and Eva's personality is so awesome!

That drum light cover idea as GENIUS!!!

I loved the lampshade, the stick on floor mat, and the round rug! 🌷

This was a fun makeover!! Eva was so entertaining & her pup so adorable!! Love the couch, rug, & sage paint 💚 Great job to all!! 👍💐🤠

Wow! So purposeful, thoughtful, relaxing, and cozy and such an amazing, impressive transformation in such a tiny space! Love the light diy ~ what a great solve! Eva's pup adores it too! Go Team AG!

As always, a brilliant transformation, including the change of paint color! That cane-wrapped lampshade is genius - the original shade becomes the lining. Also, my favorite word trinket: "... figger out the configgeration." So adorable!

Very cute apartment! I also liked the green paint. The artwork goes very well together. The cutest thing is the dog!

Love this! You “empowered” Eva! What a gift! You taught her SO much! This transformation will positively impact Eva everyday!

I LOVE this makeover so much. I'm always impressed by tiny space makeovers, but this one blew me away from start to finish. It's so, so cute with the colors, the patterns of the tiles and the rug, the full sofa, the mixture of function and aesthetic with all of the shelves. The pendant is GENIUS. I feel like it could work for any renter ceiling light, too, if you found a large enough lamp shade - extra exciting for me since I have a hideous boob light, haha. Eva was an awesome guest, too! So fun and casual.

Love it. Not sure about that piece of vinyl though. I think she would have been better off either leaving it bare or using a black long, slim rug. That’s just me still :). It’s very cool that you could help her from a distance. Such fun. 🥳.

Alexandra, First off I need to start off with how much I love to watch your videos. I'm totally addicted and you help me smile more and feel more creative. With your videos you and your team add sunshine to my life. So thanks for being you and doing what you all do!! I'm curious what your process is as far as which wall to paint as an accent wall?

Eva did an amazing job! It doesn’t even look like the same room. Great job as always. 💕

Alexandra, you two are a hoot together, and the makeover was definitely a more polished and attractive version of the living room. I felt the pattern on designated entry space was too busy (for me) next to that pretty rug. On the bookshelf, it's hilarious that the book entitled "My Name is Malala" is placed next to one called "Tell Me Who You Are." Eva's humor is delightful. Love love love the pup!

That light shade hack is exactly what I needed! Thanks a million! 👌

I love her apartment, I love the colors, the Pillow texture and design are beautiful, everything looks overall great! Thank you for sharing this video, have an awesome Christmas and new year, God bless!🦋😇

I have been really struggling with my living space in the attic of my house. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the shelves that you used in this video. I think they would be perfect. Plus I love how you fixed the lamp shade. I have the in ceiling pot lights and I hate them but putting a shade like that over them would add some character and I do love that idea. This is a great video and I am taking notes. Thanks again.

Loved this because it shows you can do it yourself. I also loved it because it inspired me to go and purchase a round rug for my dining set. I think it will totally tie the space in much better now. I"m loving my small apartment more and more now that i've designed it to be more function and tranquil.

I absolutely love your videos sooo much it makes me want to redecorate everything all day every day!

Love this makeover. Space appears more comfortable. Thanks so much for your videos. You and your team are my getaway ☺

Fantastically done, truly.!!! And I'm drooling over Eva's art collection

I loved the 2nd color in that space. It made it brighter. The 1st color was pretty also but it was a bit dark in that area. Loved the couch, rug, shelving, Ooo and that in that chair in the corner was gorgeous. You both did a great job.

Alexandra. You were SO patient & kind. I’m sure this whole thing wasn’t the easiest. You both ended up happy & ok. You can be proud! :) :)

Love this video Alexandra, and Eva was so much fun, I am a purple lover, it is my birthstone, so I have a lot of purple in my home, my bathroom has the walls painted purple with a darker color for the trim on the doors and a shelf in the center of the room, but I totally understand that Eva wanted a different color for her one wall and the color she chose was so beautiful and really fit her style. This was another makeover that was so awesome and gave me a lot of inspiration. Thanks again Alexandra, looking forward to your next video, sending love and hugs, bye for now.

How did I never see this one before. What a wonderful change to beautiful and comfy and useful. I am going to use three of these ideas right away. Thank you very much...
