Alexandra, having grown up in and around less than orderly homes, you taught me how a clean home can be made cozy and warm. I always thought clean homes had to be sterile and austere and /definitely/ without fun. I’ve been taking your lessons to heart for the 4 years I’ve been watching you. I’m a forever fan, and forever grateful. Thank you!

P.S. please also never change your theme music. It makes me so happy 🥰

So cool! Anyone else think the decorative beads looked like giant grapes?

[reginaceragioli]

The guy saying "this is so cute". How precious. SUCH a success, y'all!!

[ElianaChinea]

I love when the men are super into the decor! This guy looked super happy, more so than the girl. And the decoration in this one was much more gender inclusive than others. Not too “girly” and flowery. Loved it!

Graham finding pearls on the side of the road and rocking em is probably the most attractive thing I've ever witnessed lol

[shelleydenison]

"Graham found x in the garbage" will never not be my favorite thing.

[SuperFierro]

Can I just say- GREEN FLAG for the guy asking for Parisian style and knowing what it is 😩👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 good for that couple lol goals

[RP-udeg]

I would love to see longer videos of the makeovers, with the thrifting of furnitures that you find and put in these videos. It would be great to see the process that you guys went through to find these thrifted furniture (aside from graham’s amazing contribution), rather than just showing the furniture in the video. That said, love your content, and want to see more behind the scenes and the efforts made when making these amazing makeovers. Guess what I’m saying is that I cant get enough of you guys! Haha. ❤

Ok, I haven't even gotten to the end of the video yet, but I have to say ALEXANDRA THAT LEMON-PATTERENED DRESS IS SO GORGEOUS ON YOU!!! The puff sleeves, the cinching at the waist, the color, all just chef's kiss. Omg and with the gold hoop earrings!! You nailed a perfect fit with this Parisian makeover <3

[keyshlanarvaez]

Amazing makeover, as always!! But the reason I keep coming back each time it's because of the amazing team. I love how it's not just Alexandra's channel, but the whole team's. Everyone's personality shines through their role in the makeover, even James's living away shines through with his hilarious commentary through his editing. Y'all bring a smile to my face and make my Saturdays so cozy.

When I see white walls in the beginning, I say hmmm, cold looking. Then a white couch, hmmm. But by the time you are finished adding all the touches and features, I say, "yes! it's lovely, warm cozy and eclectic. Another great makeover.

Beautiful room! I know the more modern side table and coffee table are in right now but I would’ve went with some thrifted warm wood tables to make it even more cozy. Total preference though!

[saraw]

Love it all. Only thing I would do different….brass/glass coffee table and a pretty landscape painting over dining table. The molding is everything.

[xingcat]

I totally thought the white furniture was going to read far too contemporary for the lovely French Provincial-inspired dining corner, but that mirror and the gold touches and frilly bits pulled it all together. That peel and stick molding really does such a great job in making a space look grand. I love this one!!

Graham just casually fixing that dodgy landlord special of a door hole in a wall. Hey landlords - just hire Graham.

[mglouise]

Changing the color of lightbulbs absolutely transforms a room! Down with blue light!

[valarya]

I love seeing the recipients walk in to the space and make so many comments!! He's noticing ALL the details and I'm so here for it. 🎉

[michelepaccione]

Just a suggestion. If you hung the curtains from curtain clips, it would make the curtains much easier to operate, reduce the space they take up when open so you get more light, make the curtains look more luxe, and you could have the two curtains in the corners hung half on the end rods and half on the center rod, so the “elbows” would pretty much disappear because they’d be covered by the curtain clips and the fabric. ;)

[NehaMalhotra]

Love the addition of the credits at the end. Love that youre so inclusive and celebrate the whole village that puts these out. Its been so exciting to see your crew and design style evolve over time.

First of all, Matthew is adorable!! I mean they both are - but I really appreciated how into the whole project he was & how observant he was of all of the details & changes around the room! The room turned out beautiful! I wasn't sure I was on board w/the number of picture frame moldings you guys installed - I was thinking larger & fewer - but in the end it looked good. That mirror is a beauty! And what a pretty radiator they have! The AG team brought this space to a whole new level & gave your clients just what they were hoping for!
