You Can Do Beautiful Things

In this groundbreaking, step-by-step interior design book, the DIY social media star and host of HGTV's Home in a Heartbeat empowers you to create spaces that are visually stunning and emotionally fulfilling, no matter where you're at in life.

On Home in a Heartbeat, Galey Alix surprises and transforms families' homes in just a three-day window. Now she has created a high-level guide and road map readers can follow when (re)designing their own spaces.

Once a high-powered finance broker, Alix turned away from the finance world and started posting her home renovation videos to social media for family and friends. She stepped away for several months due to a bad breakup and when she logged back in to her accounts, she found that she had millions of views and requests from followers all over the world asking her to come and transform their spaces as she had transformed her own.

Entirely self-taught and naturally gifted in aesthetics, Alix uses the core principles of interior design to empower her to take bold risks, break the right rules, and deliver amazing results. Drawing from her experience, she knows how to make any space work, from tips that make a room feel bigger and ceilings look taller to choosing the perfect white paint for your walls. Alix knows where you can skip the full-on remodel and still make a big impact, freeing up your budget for great décor pieces instead.

With You Can Do Beautiful Things, Alix shares the road map she uses when remodeling a space, as well as her ride-or-die rules, how to renovate on a budget, how to start a design business, and more! By offering practical tips and guidelines, she gives readers a comprehensive resource to create aesthetically pleasing and emotionally fulfilling homes.

Galey Alix is the founder of Galey Alix Design, a home design and renovation company that surprises homeowners with full scale home renovations in a quick turnaround. After a decade as a Goldman Sachs Executive and a harrowing mental health battle, Alix left Wall Street to pursue her heart’s true passion; surprising deserving people with beautiful spaces they can be proud of. She is also the host and co-executive producer of HBO Max’s Home in a Heartbeat with Galey Alix.

The only thing Alix enjoys more than surprising deserving people is her love of animals. She is a devoted dog mom and founding Board Member of the Knuckle Bump Farms Foundation, a rescue and rehabilitation farm for injured and abandoned animals.

Alix learned the hard way that if you don’t design your life, your life will design you. Discovering you are the artist of your story is a beautiful thing, and we all know, you can do beautiful things.
