New membership perk idea...."Graham's therapist, " where we get to hear all about how many color changes, custom impossible pieces of furniture, and curves he has to deal with every week...

Merch idea:
A tote bag with a raccoon wearing overalls and vans, holding something of your liking, and a speech bubble that says “I found it in the trash”.

James, you are the best! The way you edit makes me feel like we are friends watching a video together and commenting and making jokes. Thank you ❤

[thejcollectivv]

The basket/storage quotes though. Your editor is a true legend. 🤩

The color of the walls looks so nice with the stained glass window 💕

[janinegriffiths]

As a landscape designer, I sometimes find it difficult to decide about my own space while being quite decisive about my clients gardens.

[joeyhachtman]

As someone who spent over a quarter of a century in a similar line of work, I can tell you I know how much easier it is to tell the client what to do in their home, than to decide what to do in your own! Always delighted by you, your crew, and your solutions!

So this wall color is so good with the stained window… now the window feels more of an art piece… and everything is going great together.. ❤

Our house, built in '69, had all scalloped shelves. It's taken me years to get rid of them all! And now they are a thing again? Oh boy. great job on the makeover!

[freckles]

Team AG- time for a scallop ban! The shelves, the baskets, the lights, the other baskets 😂 I'm convinced scallops are going to be blase in a year (dare I say- the chevron of the 2020s?). Just a little too trendy to be everywhere!!

The sulking room pink makes that stain glass window look SO GOOD!

[vintagegrandma]

The blue is the color of my bedroom now and I’m 65 and LOVE it! 😍

[LieselBee_]

I feel like this whole paint debacle would have been solved much sooner if you had just taken inspiration from the colors that were already present in the space: the stained glass windows! The tulips brought such a lovely warm violet hue that matched the runners perfectly.

[teresabell]

I really liked the blue ....but it wasn't right in the space.
My house is painted that blue color...but I live in Houston Texas and it is hot ! The blue actually makes the house feel cooler and no I'm not crazy, my husband says the same thing.😊

[geraldineklatt]

Looks so you ! Your team is so patient we knew you wouldn’t choose blue !! Graham is such a wood artist .

[TheBeautifulTruthh]

i love the way the paint ties together the stained glass window and runners

1:46 looking at this angle, if it's possible flip the entrance door to a right hand entrance so when opening the door will be at the larger view opening towards the stairs and the coat and shoe storage will be behind the door. Have an awesome weekend!

I am only a few minutes into this video and I have to say before I continue on, that you switching to the red earthtones was a great idea. Right away I noticed that there is a stained glass window in the space and I don't know the exact color of the flower, but I think it pairs nicely with those colors. Can't wait to see the final product, so I will get back to watching your video. I enjoy them all. I hate it when I don't see them weekly.

[RocketChild]

I think the dusty pink was a good idea because it matches the pink in the window pannels, and it reflects back to pink you already used in the house making it more unified.

This darker, purple-ish color from one of the swatches could be very nice on the stairs as well (where it's black now)! Loving the makeover as always :)
