The shower curtain is wonderful. I especially love the ducks. Good Lord that rug, I want it so much. It is the best. I very much liked the focus on just one project with all its bits and pieces. Looking forward to what you share next.

THE THE BATHTUBS!!!! THE BATHMAT!!! You're iconic!! Also it's always so fun when your sister can be in a vid lol!

I enjoy your weekly vlogs but I thought this style of seeing a design through from building ideas to the finished product (literally!) was so interesting. Love everything you created for this!

[karenradcliff]

This was just delightful! I really think the green paper was a key moment--it felt iconically true to the period, having that pastel-avocado shade to work onto. I loved this format, following a creative idea through, not instead of your regular vlogs but almost as a natural continuation--we now have a backdrop of what your school life is like, and it's great to follow along a project's process with that knowledge as a base. Thank you! (Also: the rug! The rug!)

I think this may be my most favorite design collection yet! Love it!❤

[PaganTaylor]

While I have missed the weekly updates of your goings on in classes, I really enjoyed seeing a project from beginning to end. It's sometimes been frustrating enjoying a project you've done then not knowing what happened next or getting an idea of how your grade or evaluation went. This was a great insight to your process. Thanks so much for taking the extra time to show us all.

Bravo Alexandra, what a Cute and Colorful Design you created. I bet your fellow students and instructor were blown away by your design and that adorable rug. Hope you sell a lot of products. 😊❤

This was such a fun video! I love that you were able to get your stuff printed, so cool 🎉

Hi from New Zealand. Wow you are so creative. I’ve started a whole new journey with art weaving thanks to watching your vlgs. Just made my first jacket

[redpandaerin]

This is ridiculously cute! I love the Atomic Age style and you really managed to stay true to it and yourself ❤

[tracys.]

Andrea, you are amazing! What fun bathroom accessories! If i lived in the States, I'd definitely be buying a set. Thanks for sharing this step of your journey.
Best wishes, Tracy

Shut Up that rug is amazing! I love it so much

[janiceneudegg]

OMG! l absolutely love that shower curtain.❤❤❤

[greeneileen]

You bring such fantastic energy to each of your projects. It's very fun to watch. It was probably just a slip of the tongue but I'm calling it out just in case so it doesn't bite you in a future presentatoin of your cool stuff...tenants occupy rented property, you meant to say tenets. I am forever an English teacher and you are a rockstar designer! Keep up the good work.

I loved watching your process from start to finish. We live in a quirky little 1948 prefab Lustron home - it's mid-century modern and all porcelain covered steel from roof to siding panels to interior walls to ceiling to built-ins. Unique and very funky, and we love it! You are such an inspiration! I've wanted to create a shower curtain for our one and only bathroom in the MCM motif on a clear plastic shower curtain. Now to put on my thinking cap inspired by your creations to make it happen! Thank you! ... & the rubber duckys are fantastic! #quirkylittlelustronhome😀

[bluewolfwalking]

What a clever and whimsical collection! You outdid yourself.

[KackyMuse]

There is so much joy in your process, even though it is demanding learning so many new things. Thanks for sharing all of it.

I ADORE the Atomic style Andrea! I love this so much, and the bathtubs are genius! 👏❤
