Every time I think you're not going to do better than your last time you kill it love this ❤️
Hi Alexandra you and your friends always impress your clients with your beautiful interior apartment makeovers 👍❤️
I love most of what you did, but the white table looks cheap and the pillows are too bulky for the space.
Yes, nice storage as part of the diivider but you can't pull those cabinet drawers out .very far before they bump into a wall.. So I guess you have to drag the cabinet out whenever you need to access. And do you want to stand on the banquette to reach the cabinets on the wall? Their bar stuff is scattered all around. Oh, and all those cushions that have to be moved when several people come over for dinner. This area is pretty, for sure, but practicality took a hit.
Wow you guys nailed this one. I love it! ❤
Alexandra! GIRL you are wearing my favourite things: ANIMAL PRINT AND LAVENDAR. I LOVE that you love animal print!
That is so beautiful and cozy comfortable.nI just love it
Please learn the name of alcohol. It is isopropanol or isopropyl alcohol.
❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂 I love the game
Looks so good! Graham is a treasure!
Smart and beautiful makeover. I love the wallpaper, the carpet, and OMG that wall divider is simply amazing!!! ❤
Hi. I do follow you & I am a fan. Always something in the segment to take away & make useful in one's space. I don't want to be the "Debbie Downer" in the room, but a few things….1. Wall storage cabinet: I appreciate the need for extra storage, but wall art would have been more appropriate & prettier. You have the storage aspect taken care of with the credenza. 2. Waaaay too many cushions. Perhaps you feel the need for staging purposes, but less is more…truly. 3. I have viewed the other comments as well, & there is some genuine concern & upset re: this segment's sponsors. Why? Why are you promoting a service that is clearly American & not of use to anyone Canadian, especially given the very volatile relationship with the USA right now? Very poor choice. Apart from that, great job! Super great job to handyman Graham…that divider…gorgeous!!
Teamwork makes the dream work. ❤
Not everything has to be called a hack. Sometimes it’s just a thing you do.
LOVE IT!
Wow this is sooooo good! Well done to the entire team 🥹🥹🥹🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
The divider is stunning. It looks like a designer divider.
Love the "wild" hair I see in the intro. So pretty.
DO NOT USE ZOCDOC!!!

Great job, you guys!
The blue shades was a choice
Beautiful ! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
🤣🤣🤣 9:14 video lagged 🤣“… so we like to throw up…”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤️
To help I wanna share my favorite bible scripture that conquers anxiety.
Favorite version: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
II Timothy 1:7 NKJV
Version that expands deeper: “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.”
2 Timothy 1:7 AMPC
I hope this helps❤
The wallpaper looks like pillow ticking. I like it. You extended the space by using the cabinet on other side of divider! Very cool. Calming too. They should have been more exited. Maybe when they comfortably fit 7 or 8 ppl in there, lol.
Hello Alexandra can you explain why you didn't paper the overhang? The thought process is part of the design too!
I love this makeover … one of my favorites!! 😍❤️
I don't know how you do it, but this one has to be one of the best small area dining rooms I have ever seen! Total A+
The cushions are beautiful but for the messy reason I don’t like them for me but I really love the way they look. ❤❤❤❤
This just goes to show that your space doesn't have to be huge to be impactful- this is one of my favourite makeovers that you have done 😍 you nailed the brief
