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...
😂😂😂😂
Love your entry way love that the color goes with the stain flowers on your window 👍
I will pay for this
We would also get to hear all about his accomplishments, aka all the great things he rescued from the trash!
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”.
I would buy that in a heartbeat!
100% would buy 😂
Omg same!!!! Plz don’t make it super loudly “AG branded” 🥺I love merch that doesn’t look like merch.
I would definitely buy.
Would it be a bad look if the raccoon were holding a little Graham? 🤔😅
As a landscape designer, I sometimes find it difficult to decide about my own space while being quite decisive about my clients gardens.
I can organize someone else's life so easily. Mine? Not so much.🤷♀
@@user-bo1rj2xu2s i think the sentimentality and not objectively being able to detach yourself from your own stuff is definitely a thing. cleaners also say this often. running around cleaning somoene else's house is so much faster than cleaning your own.
Please feel free to repeat the same thing over and over again as long as it makes you happy. No need to go outside of your own comfort zone. Definitely only do what you like.
@@crunchevo8974 So true!
I have the same problem. Somebody else's home, no problem, 15 minutes done. My space, 5 years. Always waiting for the next great thing. 😂
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 ❤
Always my favorite pieces hahaha
Same! The basket quotes sent me 😂
Streaky McGee had me 😂😂😂😂
The basket/storage quotes though. Your editor is a true legend. 🤩
The color of the walls looks so nice with the stained glass window 💕
Yes. The color with the stained glass is what did it for me as well. Love how this turned out
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.. ❤
I was thinking the same thing! Also, the stained glass flowers go so well with the stair runner.❤❤❤
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.😊
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!
Ha ha I am the same! So decisive for others but agonise over paint colours for myself
Not in the biz, but choose perfection for people I know. But, I think it’s harder to do our own because we have so many ideas🤗
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!
The sulking room pink makes that stain glass window look SO GOOD!
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 thought this too!
I think she should def flip the door
I think that would block the entry to her neighbor’s home on the first level
@@michellehoehne when you open the door and walk in, it swings left and opens towards the coat storage. the og commenter is suggesting to put the hinges on the other side, so it swings right and opens towards the entry table with the mirror. it would make the space feel more open when you enter and block the visual clutter of the coat storage.
@@TheBeautifulTruthh my bad! I thought the door swung out into the first entry room, not into her home space. I see what y’all mean now
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.
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.
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!!
I agree, but considering Alexandra has the skills and the team to change it up whenever she likes I don't think it matters 😊
it's not scalops, it's waves,scallops look different
The blue is the color of my bedroom now and I’m 65 and LOVE it! 😍
Looks so you ! Your team is so patient we knew you wouldn’t choose blue !! Graham is such a wood artist .
i love the way the paint ties together the stained glass window and runners
That blue was giving early 2000s dolphin themed bedroom 🐬
YES!! I was cringing so hard 😂😅😂
i think it was the first time i have seen a entryway makeover that is spot on. it does look like it is to provide solutions for every day living and not a wow we took EVERYTHING out look how good it looks! and it is just beautiful, solution oriented and .. its everything! so so so good!
love this! congrats!
The end result was amazing! That first blue/lilac was giving me huge Friends vibes. Would be fun to see you guys do a movie/tv show inspired series! 🤩
LOVE this idea!
I feel like it would be nice to have some redemption for the periwinkle as well, it just needs the right space for it
Totally agree! Poor peri got a lot of hate :’)
GRAHAMS LITTLE PEARL NECKLACE i’m so in love with him in a platonic way
Yessss I love him too he is Awesome!!!❤
Graham needs an etsy shop!!
custom furniture business
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 :)
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.
Off topic but, Alexandra’s hair looks so beautiful. ♥
I was going to say the same thing. The sleek bun with the center part was so pretty and sophisticated.
I always have hair envy watching her videos x

Okay. I’m sure this is going to work for you and be functional and fit your aesthetic. When you started debating wall colors, I immediately thought “this is a lot of theater, she’s gonna go with some form of pink. If she does, I’m gonna skip the rest.” After two polls and all the rest, it felt a bit disingenuous. So minimal shade here-I’m sure you love it.
"The oil for the coatrack, I found in the garbage." 😂 I love finding stuff, too!
I’ve said it before, but I’m going to say it again m, Graham is a genius!!!
All his projects in this video are beautiful and functional! Great job!
The end look is great (as usual), but I was actually digging the blue 👀
I’d love to see it in another makeover
This “episode” *is AMAZING!*
The [or James’] _editing_ is top-notch, all the funny quips from the crew, combined with Alexandra’s excellent style is _seriously_ #chefskiss 😍 Another great makeover vid, Team AG! 👍🏻👍🏻
I noticed in one of your last videos, and your ThredUp haul in this one confirmed it - tops that fit like the red and white checked one are the most flattering cut and fit I’ve ever seen on you! They just seem to work so well with your body type. I’m not a fashion person, so I don’t know what they’re called, but they are absolutely perfect on you.
Look at you at 712k subscribers!! So proud and happy, I've been here since it was less than 200k of us. Always loved this channel 🌼
So much sass from James in this one, love it!! 💅
Yay ❤ I’m going to make my morning coffee and enjoy this video. Her videos make me so happy.
I always watch them with my breakfast on Sunday
Old lady in The Netherlands loves your work and show. Is good to watch serious and fun young ppl get their groove on. Working for yourselves.
Living small, not wasteful is smart. Right on!
Every one of you are great characters but I do love Graham. 😂
This makeover was extraordinary! But then again, all your makeovers blow me away!!!! And I loved the process of finding the right color! Thank you for another great video!!
always love the bloopers at the end! pls never get rid of them
I’m binge-watching all your makeover videos right now and it was so nice to see a new one pop up! So good and fun (as always).
This channel is such a beautiful find. I just can’t get over how high-quality and creative the makeovers, DIYs, and the editing are and how well you work as a team. Team AG is the sweetest and funniest and just so freaking talented!
Well to each their own. I think color is definitely a personal thing. I really didn’t like this color. Maybe something a little bit lighter??? The rest was so functional & I’m glad you thought of all these ideas to make it your own!!😜👍🏻
Omg agree!!
Great job!! Love that you at least *tried* to do something new with colour, even though you weren't feeling it. The end result is beautiful and totally YOU.
What a difference it made! ❤ wow. Shoutout to Graham as always, for the little custom made touches. He’s simply the best.
The multiple runner staircase is so fun! And I wish I had a Graham!
The way I gasped when you selected that original color- very happy you changed your mind it looks great!
Love the runner. The new paint colour complements the stained window perfectly.
You have Captured the atmosphere of days gone by. Excellent lighting effect with the green shade
Omg Gram walking up the stairs with the sun hat! When he dropped something I laughed and woke up my husband! You needed a lighter colour on the wall the real dark closes in the space- that pink is perfect! I liked the purple but it was on my bedroom walls in junior high…😢
Your hair is SO complimented by the final color!!!
Once again, Graham is your MVP. I really like your basket choices.
The new stair runner is the most beautiful thing ever seen! Especially the middle color! A dream 🩷
A fabulous transformation
I'm glad that you have placed all of your tote bags in one bag. It looks neater.😊
James was feeling FEISTY this week
The entryway is just beautiful. Love all of the colour choices, the rugs going up the stairs and Graham did such a great job on the little shelves. They are so practical. Everything was so well thought out. Good job Alexandra and Team Gator.
The paint that was finally decided on is so neat. It looked so much more bricky when you were working in the space, but in the end shots was so much softer and rosy. Love it for your space!
Thank you! When you enter the home, you set the tone. Only one other change. I would change the door (if you can) to have more light in the entryway, but the makeover looks good.
The word that came to my mind when you show j us the finished hallway was” very sweet “ I also thought like your paint choice fit the time period of your home.
I thought every choice was just wrong, until I saw the final result! Who would have thought that that stair runner would such a delightful impact! You instincts are so strong and you know when it’s wrong! Great team!
So nice but I couldn't stop thinking about Noah and the 'pink' again.
I'm like you I use China Doll pink (half) I've used this paint colour for over 20 years and don't think I could walk into my home with any other colour and feel as good as I do.
Seriously, just wow! I am blown away! Those final photos are STUNNING!!!
Thank you so much for sharing the struggle around the colour choice! It's so good to hear that even the experts find the decision making hard and that there's no problem to it and it's part of the journey❤ love the result! It's like a cuddle for everyone entering your home❤
I’m obsessed with the runners on the stairs!
Gives you a hug when you walk through the front door & Its beautiful
Paint the door! Paint the door! Paint the door!
For God's sake! Pink what a surprise! 😢. 🐥
I love that everything ties back to petal shapes. Really good practical use of the space 👏🏻
The best thing about this entryway is that the area when you open the door looks exactly like mine so I can use this same design! 😊
Beautiful colours, instantly welcoming. I love the runners.
The skis look like art on the wall. Very good solve.
Team AG DID IT AGAIN! 🎉
The paint color was wise because it goes so well with the stained glass! Love this space!
🤔 Didn't you used to have a Boho runner on the stairs? I loved that. It was light and airy, but also gave the area a classic, old world look.
The entry gives the first impression into a home it is an important space. Yours flows so well now and looks inviting and beautiful.
The color of the wall at 24:44 looks so different than up in your bedroom. Lighting changes colors so much! Fascinating.
On another note... those runners on the stairs are sublime!
The entryway looks great and the stairs are stunning. Great ideas everywhere.
We all need a Graham #Merlin The Magician! You’ve once again created a warm and beautifully functional space!❤
Her hair did look lovely, plus I loved the beautiful new entry way!
Love it!! So glad you changed the blue color to one of your favorites, goes so well with the window! Really like the way you mixed the colors of the stair runner, love the bright colors in kind of in the middle. Great work to you, Graham and James!!
Absolutely always change a colour that does not lift your spirit. I love the F&B sulking pink, your so much fun 🙏🏼😊💖
This makeover is Amazing. One of my favorite things is the runner on the stairs. Love the 3 coordinating pieces.
Very nice! I love how a number of the items share a scalloped edging. Another decor success story.
I love how the fuschia carpet runner halfway up linked to the stained glass 💓
SO pretty...love the colors and the stair runner?? Next level gorgeousl!
I love the different runners going up the staiway❤❤❤😊
I’m dying over the Moroccan runner! I wish I could afford the rugs to do that on my stairs! I love your style. The sulking room pink with the rugs! Beautiful!
This is such a cute and functional space! One tip for those future awkwardly placed switches, Caseta has a “remote” switch that can be paired with a wired switch so you can place the remote switch wherever you want one. And with that in mind, I can’t stop wondering how it would feel if the door swing was reversed so that beautiful window is the first glimmer that greets you.
So glad you went with the pink color. It's very warm! And it really compliments the stained glass window.
You hit it out of the park. I'm very impressed!
This space is so gorgeous, warm and inviting ❤
I am in awe of your functional design ideas. Such an inspiration that “i can see your light” in my moodboard😅
~love from India
Love the ikea shoe storage. The revamped storage “closet” area looks great with addition of custom shelves and beautiful baskets!!
Super fun video! There are a zillion colors I love so sometimes narrowing it down is a struggle. Love how relatable you are!
You've already chosen a colour by now, but at minute eight I'm excited about Reddened Earth with the flowers on the window!
Yay ❤ I’m going to make my morning coffee and enjoy this video. Her videos make me so happy
Same!! My favorite channel.
I love it...the only thing I would change is that I would have painted the sage cabinet...the same shade of white as the window trim, baseboards and stair railing. Great job!
And how cute is it that your kitty on the rugs looks absolutely stunning 😍
At first, I wasn't a fan of the different stairs runners. Now, I'm pleasantly surprised at how much i really like the idea!
LOVE how the items you choose have similar patterns like the scallop lamp+baskets, even the cute little hooks! Btw having a letter holder is a neat idea 💅
The blue was more periwinkle with purple vibes to me. James your editing is always ON POINT!! ❤😂
Your entryway has been 'Alexanderized' - and I love it. I SO understand your paint dilemma - sometimes you know exactly what color you want - you don't second guess yourself, etc. Then other times, the vision isn't quite there - you try to wait for the inspo to come to you - but nothing seems like the right fit. So glad you chose the Sulking Room Pink - I had the feeling you were going to go back to one of your favorites, and why not!! The wavy edge designs on your coat/storage rack area really gives a unique and personalized touch (yeah Graham!). When designs come together it really does give your such a sense of satisfaction!
Oh gosh Alexandra, this entry way looks so cozy and beautiful, love the stairs and all of those different rugs put on them it is a beautiful combination. I have to be honest I love purple and have a lot of purple colors and things in my home, I love dark purple and light colored purple, it is my birth color which is amethist because I was born in February and funny I am called the Purple Lady alot, Lol!! Oh also so many great shelves and decorative hooks and those cute custom shelves Graham made for the side of that cute shelf. I also love those light socket covers that you can paint any color you love. Also love those storage baskets on that shelf. Oh this entryway really has such a beautiful vibe so much better than the before, it has so many awesome things on the walls and shelves I am so happy to see this makeover and once again you always inspire me to get busy on making over my livingroom, and that will happen this springtime. thanks so much again for this great video that was super fun to watch, have a beautiful and blessed rest of your day, sending love and hugs to all of your great crew, bye!! 😄😍🤗👋👍🙏💜💜💜
