  1. Love the makeover and your parents are adorable & so appreciative ❤ I got teary eyed myself ❤

  2. Oh my word!! I love it all, but the living room is my favorite. Do more like this over a few episodes but, whatever you do, I like. P.S. I took the plunge and just purchased F&B Pink Ground to use somewhere in my apartment. I haven't decided which room. Thanks Alexandra, for inspiring me and thanks for sharing your parents with us.

  3. ????????The Bestest reaction!!!! I’m crying too!
    Making over your local library children’s area….

  4. I feel like I’ve waited all these last weeks for her mum’s „Alexaaaandraaa“! This was lovely. So happy that Team AG got the praise they deserve! Yay!

  5. Sooooo beautiful!!!! What you did for your parents is amazing and their response was like lovely parents do. Love what their daughter did!!! Well done Alexandra and Team AG. Congratulations! Love it!

  6. your parents are the cutest thing ever omggg <3 you did such a good job with all the different spaces! well done team AG! <3

  7. What a wonderful transformation for your parents. You can tell they are so proud of you. Can't wait for the next series. Would you consider an outdoor space?

  8. The best episode your parents reaction. I could hear my parents talking through them. Hilarious but so rewarding to see how happy and proud they are ❤

  9. Her Moms reaction with the tears and the hugging and the „you are so clever!“ it made me cry ???? so cute

  10. I like all the details but I think the bed frame will be nicer if it runs along the whole back wall…. other than it was amazing

  11. Absolutely loved when your dad said "Holy Mackinac!" So Canadian, so sweet (as a Michigander, I am required to spell it with a c, lol)

  12. First off, stunning series, Alexandra. My favorite part (and there were many) may be just how tightly your parents were holding onto you.

    Secondly, don't think I've ever wanted a bedroom more.

  13. I had tears in my eyes when you showed your parents the house. Your mothers reactions were so sweet. I love your dad’s enthusiasm.
    I can definitely see where you get your genuine sweetness and kindness.
    I love your mother calling you clever. It’s not a common word used around here-Philadelphia.
    I’m so glad I purchased your book, I don’t have to take notes! I just read the book!
    You’re so very talented Alexandra, thank you for sharing your talent with us!!

  14. I really enjoy how you hold your parents in mind as you work with making changes in your family home. It is delightful and moving to see how receptive they both are to your influence and vision and how much pleasure they take in your efforts on their behalf. Beautiful all around!

  15. What an incredible difference! The whole place is so much lighter, brighter and airy. I also may have shed a tear at Alexandra getting emotional at her parents reaction – one of the sweetest reveals ever. ???? Great job AG and team! What a beautiful home to come back to.
    P.s. I would love to know where Alexandra's coveralls are from – comment if you know, please!
