    That arch, and the dusty blue is magic ❤ this is inspiring me to see what I can try with our tiny old apartment. We won’t be here long but I want it to feel like a home while we are here
    thank you AG team for the inspo and laughs ❤❤

  2. Lily Raymond on July 22, 2023 at 4:02 pm

    I love this space so much!! I have a critique but it’s not to diss AG at ALL because they are the best!!! I feel like there was a missed opportunity here to add major drama. Seyna’s pinterest board was gorgeous and bold and AG’s style choices felt very subtle for me. The wallpaper was almost beachy or cottagey but Senya totally would’ve loved something bolder and moodier! Like a dark navy limewash with a rope/fishnet hanging. I also think it’s a shame that her books weren’t displayed in the way she very obviously wanted. I would’ve added a tall black metal bookshelf to the left of the bed that went to the ceiling. On the right, I would’ve used a metal bookshelf that stopped at the bed’s height with a nautical lantern pendant lamp above. I would’ve chosen a sandy jute rug instead of the oriental pink and added rope decor to give her alllll of her ocean dreams. I think black and white lighthouse art prints would be perfect as well.

    Simply beautiful!! ❤

  4. K. jones on July 22, 2023 at 4:03 pm

    Paint the electrical cord the same as the shelves and wall.

  5. N. Carey on July 22, 2023 at 4:04 pm

    It’s super cute! I like the original bed more though. A fabric headboard is so much more stylish and comfortable when lounging in bed. 🙂

  6. Jaydia Simmons on July 22, 2023 at 4:04 pm

    You guys are a team of interior design superheroes. You kick butt!

  7. robin peterlick on July 22, 2023 at 4:09 pm

    Love the mahogany book case toppers, bed area and desk nook, very nice

  8. Calida on July 22, 2023 at 4:09 pm

    Sooo beautiful! Perfect for a school librarian feel 😍

  9. alice austin on July 22, 2023 at 4:11 pm

    I love watching you! I just found your channel. You are so down-to-earth and love your sense of humor. I am a retired married person living in northern Vermont, but you make me wish I had a studio apt. to have you come decorate for me. Love your ideas and you rock!

  10. Catalina Rodriguez on July 22, 2023 at 4:11 pm

    LOVE the blue wall!

  11. Leslee Watson on July 22, 2023 at 4:13 pm

    I usually don’t like the changes designers make but you are an exception, you did a great job!

  14. Tc Henn on July 22, 2023 at 4:22 pm

    Your makeovers are always perfect, just perfect. I’d trust you to go into any space of mine and say just do you, I know I’ll love it.

  15. Zashara Douglas on July 22, 2023 at 4:25 pm

    Graham is freaking talented!

  16. Lissa on July 22, 2023 at 4:25 pm

    I might be too late, but I love the wallpaper! I clicked on the link and it says that it does not exist. Is there a name or Vin number I can search with?

  17. FistFightCupcake on July 22, 2023 at 4:26 pm

    I absolutely adore your studio fix series!!! I would love to see more of these, especially of couples occupying that small space together! My partner and I are going to be moving into a studio from a 1000 sq ft apartment and we would love tips and tricks and inspiration!!!

  18. Melissa Myers on July 22, 2023 at 4:26 pm

    I could see myself living happily in this space. I’m in love with that mustard colored chair; never thought mustard and blue would go together so well.

  19. Shida Subri on July 22, 2023 at 4:27 pm

    Wallpaper is too dark.

  26. debi lindsey on July 22, 2023 at 4:33 pm

    Your style is so cute and I wish I could afford it but I look at the pieces that I could incorporate in my home and they’re just out of my price range

  27. Eleanor Eagly on July 22, 2023 at 4:34 pm

    First of all they experience the sheer beauty of elegant mathematical patterns that surround elegant computational procedures.
