Wow great job. I wouldn’t have thought to lay out the room that way. It makes a huge difference!
Been planning to do a makeover in my studio apartments and this is beautiful. Got some great ideas. Lots of ❤from Kenya
Your work is just amazing! I love to see how you transform even the most difficult spaces!
Oh, my gorgeous!
This is one of my favorite makeovers you’ve done. Wow. ❤
Very effortlessly functional warm soothing colors. I love it.😢
You and your team are AMAZING!!!! I LOVE your work!!
This is my favorite one
Just amazing 👏
Wow! Awesome!
My tiny home I’m building out of my moms 16×22 ft barn is the same Sq footage as these little apartments so this will be so helpful when I’m designing and decorating my space this summer.
Such a cute space!
This is the best one.
Stunning! ❤
This is my new favorite channel. You do interior design in such a fun and functional way while taking into account your client’s preferences. This makeover has been really nice to watch. I’m also moving in two months and as someone who likes minimalism, I would be using the tips you’ve given here to make sure I don’t live in a monochromatic boring space, which tends to be what I lean into 😅 Thank you for making these videos. Hope your channel becomes even bigger.
You’re amazing!!!! ❤
Super duper awesome!! 😍❤️❤️❤️
Just fab & inventive!
Just woww……….💙💙💙💙
New subscriber here Alexandra! WOW i love your works! How i wish you can help us with our new house. But i know you can’t bec im here in the Philippines. Love you!! 💖🤗
I like the layout of stuff and divider. But the design is very bland like ikea.
Amazing
I like your channel except for the exhausting adds which makes me Not want to click on your channel so sorry
The transformation is amazing. It definitely looks like a cozy home now!
This is by FAR my favorite makeover you’ve done. I’ve watched it so many times to get inspo for my small space. Great job!
I’ve been binge watching your channel over the past 2wks. There are so many epic transformations that I couldn’t possibly pick just one. This one is top 5 for sure. You and your team are so incredibly talented!
Wow, amazing makeover. The place looks sooo much bigger.
Absolutely blew my mind!! I cant believe its the same space!❤️☺️
Amazing work, am at this stage 😊 of life in how to make my studio better. @Alexander you did a great job.
*Mind blown* 🤯
I love it great job
Do you ever use Murphy or hideabed?
Hey, just a tip that if you’re covering a modem and it’s a wifi capable modem you’re most likely going to dampen the signal. Although radio waves can travel through wood (any glass or metal covering will absolutely disrupt the signal) it’s still not best to disturb or block a signal as ugly as the devices are. If it’s just a regular modem that is not capable of routing in itself then it’s a non issue to cover it in a ventilated space.
Beautifully designed!
Such an amazing transformation!
The coffee table legs are wobly and unsafe. Good job though on what is a difficult layout.
Nicely done. 🎉💕👏🏾
This is my fav make over 😘
So good!
I love watching how Alexandra and the team turn these studios into livable spaces but I’m constantly shocked that developers are allowed to build like this. Truly a miracle makeover.
Very nice!!!
I’m about to downgrade to 225 sq ft
I’m new to this channel and absolutely love it. Love how you transform the space.
Should have painted the angled wall where bed is same color as accent wall in living room ❤
What an amazing transformation!
Recently came across your channel and have been binge watching all your videos❤. I am convinced that there is nothing Graham can’t do!
super impressive stuff!!!
This is hands down the BEST studio makeover I’ve ever seen!!! OUTSTANDING job!
Absolutely stunning x
The Vintage Art TV suggestion is a game changer for me. Love this makeover too!!
