    The plant ledge is gorgeous

  14. Michele Harper on October 17, 2022 at 8:32 pm

    Ratan is supposed to be able to breathe and take in water, when you paint it, it will not be able to and then it breaks.

  15. I Love Today Coaching on October 17, 2022 at 8:33 pm

  26. Kay Phillips on October 17, 2022 at 8:42 pm

    This is intense! I think I would have grouped the plants in groups of 3’s

  27. Amy Gray on October 17, 2022 at 8:43 pm

    Gorgeous! I want this space!

  28. mindyourbizok on October 17, 2022 at 8:46 pm

    The woman should not have been standing on the sofa with her shoes on.

    That’s very disrespectful.

    The woman should have use a step ladder to hang the picture.

  29. theresa keeling on October 17, 2022 at 8:47 pm

    What did you lite the candle with?

  30. Corallie on October 17, 2022 at 8:47 pm

    The problem you had with the palm, I have the same problem with those ikea pots as none of them have even bottoms.

  31. Deb Briggs on October 17, 2022 at 8:50 pm

    I have loved all of your work. Keep it going; love your videos.

  32. DBguat. on October 17, 2022 at 8:50 pm

  36. Michele Harper on October 17, 2022 at 8:53 pm

    That is a lot of plants to take care of.

  37. Karen on October 17, 2022 at 8:53 pm

    I think this is now officially my favorite makeover from you. I love everything about it, but I know that if I ever tried to replicate it, those beautiful plants would all be dead within a month (or maybe less!). I’ll just keep coming back to watch this video and live vicariously through it.

  38. Sincere I am on October 17, 2022 at 8:53 pm

    Great job! Her joy made me cry.

  39. T W J on October 17, 2022 at 8:54 pm

  42. SOSEXYMAGAZINE RobinWatkins on October 17, 2022 at 9:02 pm

    Please, please… what was the name of that large plant that you brought in near the end of the video that was placed right by the sofa. Gorgeous! This room really speaks to me. Alexandra you did a beautiful job.

  43. Debra Bell on October 17, 2022 at 9:04 pm

    Beautiful space the plants make it perfect. Great job!

  44. Nancy Robinson on October 17, 2022 at 9:06 pm

    Can we have the link for the incense holder please?

  45. Lenora Berendt on October 17, 2022 at 9:06 pm

    A truly stunning makeover. I love it! 💕

  46. Athena on October 17, 2022 at 9:06 pm

    Beautiful space and the plants look good but that window seating both levels begging for lounging, pillows, reading nook etc. 🙂 Magical little area by those gorgeous windows.

  47. Tiffany Tien on October 17, 2022 at 9:07 pm

    This is my goal for my entire place 😍

  48. Donna Serret on October 17, 2022 at 9:10 pm

    That was a gorgeous makeover

  49. Donna Leonard on October 17, 2022 at 9:12 pm

    Luv luv luv ur decorating ideas, totally awesome. If I had money to pay for a makeover I certainly would. While hanging the large walk art over the sofa. Ur employee had her shoes on the customer sofa 😲. That wonderful Hugh! Plant was fabulous and went well. 💜 🌺

  50. Heather Orrick on October 17, 2022 at 9:13 pm
