Drew, I've noticed you've been acquiring a lot of brown furnishings lately. Years ago, like 30 years ago, I read an article that said colors pertain to your mood, how you are feeling about life. Counter to what I would have thought, I remember the writer said brown was popular or trending when one is feeling satisfied with life. Happy. I guess it's true, because you seem so happy since finding your house.
@@lonefox As I recall, they said we add bright colors to our decor or attire when we need an uplift. (I worked for Target 🎯 Marketing and we were always considerate of trends.)
@@yve5659 Hmm. I posted a response earlier with a link to an article that may help answer your question and it's not here. I think I Googled something like: trends in color reflect mood or emotions.
The horizontal "jug" you found (6:50) with the cork screw plug is actually an old fashioned bed warmer. Put hot water in it and place it under the covers at the foot of the bed to warm your feet on cold nights. I actually have one! Great find! 💙
The pot before them is marked “Stone” because it is “ STONEWARE” type of clay. Highly fired and rugged. The black pot is probably “Raku” or pit- fired in an ember- filled pit, often with straw, which gives the burnt orangey touches. All great finds.
The rug that britney found was a prayer mat and the uneven design is for pointing in the direction for prayer. It's pretty thou and could be used as a rug
Yes the rug is beautiful. Personally I would rather use it as wall hanging instead of stepping on it like a regular floor rug. Simply out of respect And I'm a Catholic not a Muslim.
Thank you Krispy. I thought it was too. But there are so many ignorant trolls out there who are giving us a hard time about this. It comes down to the simple phrase (respect others as you wish to be respected). And as I said . As soon as Drew knows what he has. He will rise to the occasion. And not step on it. Thanks again for the answer.
OMG. Please do not cut up that table runner!!!! When I saw that hand stitching and you said you could cut them up my heart hurt! Please use it in one piece ; a wall hanging in a two story foyer, or a table runner, a mock canopy over a bed or at the end of a bed. The possibilities are endless!!! Love all your finds!!!!
I love all of your finds-the birthing chairs are incredible! I especially enjoy reading the comments to see the history and significance of the items. It’s always great to keep learning!
I actually love the African chairs in your home. It's an unexpected element that still totally goes with everything else because of the dark wood. I appreciate that you are trying to be respectful of the history of the home but feel free to add your own history. It's not like you are knocking everything down and making it a contemporary, minimalist home. I am loving this process!
I'm seriously addicted to all your videos with your new home. I love that you are sharing your journey with us, your thought processes. Just love it all! TY
I love that you find things that are not only beautiful, but also authentic, period appropriate and high quality pieces with a story. So many people just go buy a bunch of junk from RH and call it design… lol Keep up the great work!
I love how much you have changed - but even more so, I feel like you have so much respect for every home you encounter and you lean into their history and architectural style and that shapes your choices in such a natural way. Love the chairs. And Olive Ateliers has so inspiring colours, I might do a painting inspired by it soon.
Hi Drew, I am Turkish and I think your sink isn't a sink but the stone traditionally laid in front of manual water pumps, to get water from wells. That's why the hole is on the side, they laid those on the ground
Loved virtually going with you on this flea market thrift quest vlog, Drew! ❤️ You have a hella keen eye and such great taste in the items you've selected. Thank you for taking us along!
Drew - you and Brittany were very lucky for an overcast morning for Long Beach Flee Market. You are attracted to tribal, Moroccan and 1930's vintage- and that represents a wonderful exciting moment in history - 1930's with PAN AMERICAN airlines people start traveling the globe, National Geographic Magazine is published, the traditional handcrafts of Africa, Arabia, Morocco and Spain ( carpets, leather, glass) start to show-up in America, UK, Paris and FILM NOIR is all about this decor. You could call this decorative vibe ' global safari' because it's about travel: choosing the unusual and may be even the dangerous path to travel hunting for treasure. DO some virtual time travel with Humphrey Bogart and Peter Lorre in the 'Maltese Falcon'( the yacht !) and 'Casablanca' for the sets
Good Morning Drew!! Those fabrics you bought are Kuba cloths and I have them in my home. I love them!! You got some great finds.A lot of your finds from the flea market are of African origin. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Drew! If might add they are artisanal cloths made by the Kuba tribe in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuba_textiles). I suggest you do not cut what you call the table runner, you might take the risk of causing damage to it. You can't treat it like it's wax or kinte print fabric. Please preserve that piece of African tradition.
I was just in South Africa and saw those very chairs!! If I could have brought them home I would have. But now I have hope I might be able to find some in the States. Problem is I doubt that anyone in Colorado will be selling them. :(
I love that you go to flea markets. So many other people would just buy new things (or get new furniture through partnerships), but you actually inspire people to incorporate great flea market deals. Not everyone can afford new designer things, so this is a great idea.
In LOOOOOVE with your Kuba Cloth table runner! Pleeeeease don’t chop it up into separate pieces! It’s laboriously handmade from the Kuba tribe in Africa! I absolutely love everything you bought! Wish I still lived in LA!!
I bought a Helix mattress this spring and found it didn't work for me (I love my "Big Fig" mattress - as in big figure). Helix made it so easy to return their mattress. A local person (by day he's a nurse) came to pick it up. He spread a sheet of plastic on my driveway, placed the twin mattress in it, folded it in half and "gift wrapped" it, then took it to a Habitat for Humanity charity. I was refunded my money quickly. Turns out big figures prefer a much firmer mattress. So fun to watch the bed in a box expand. Helix let me keep the two free pillows. They're very lofty.
Hi Drew, My mum has the same beautiful fabric which you refer to as the African mud cloth. She has two large pieces hanging either side of her curtains in her bedroom, in Nambucca Heads NSW in Australia. Her name is Ang and is 89 years old and still loving her life. She spends many hours weaving. We love you Drew. Happy hunting for many more treasures.
Loved this! The bottle you found with the stopper is actually an old fashioned bed warmer. It would have been filled with hot water and put into the bed (usually where your feet would lie) to warm the bed for you in winter xx
Worried about how heavy the sink would be - can the vanity support it easily when filled with water? Those carved chairs were epic AF! I wish to hell I lived on the other side of the country and was rich so you could do a house for me!!!! That long runner might do nicely as a wall-to-wall wall hanging.
@@katewade9992 'solid wood' is misnomer - the buffet console that Drew is considering using as a vanity to hold a sink is actually constructed of lighter weight mixed pieces of soft wood- it is not 'hard wood ' which is heavy and dense. If Drew wants to place the sink on the top if the vanity ( photos he showed) he will have to build a re-enforced support to hold the sink
Hello. Lone Fox focus, focus, focus. Don’t spend money to spend money. You still have to finish the rest of your GORGEOUS house. I do mean GORGEOUS home.
AMAZING finds!! The birthing chairs are meant to be sat on facing the REAR, with legs separated to assist in delivery. My friend from South Africa framed her mudcloth, converting it into a huge wall art! Love your talent!!
Great video - loved the bits of you waking up and checking out your sunburn. Very viewer friendly. You found so many amazing pieces - the birthing chairs could become your place for dreaming up new ideas and designs.
I wanted to say that. You can recognize it by the asymmetry on one end. The end with the asymmetry is the end you point towards Mekka. Just a little bit of information for anyone who is curious.
The prayer mat is stunning and as soon as Drew realizes what he has I'm sure he will do the right thing and put it in a place of respect and not step on it. I've seen Muslims take them out. Use them in prayer then carefully roll them up and put them away.
Love your videos. You are adorable. Love your designs, and your sense of humor. Pumpkin candle drink. Your reaction to your sunburn. Lol I'm so excited to see your renovations.
I’m loving these new home videos. It’s going to be so much fun to follow along with you while you renovate and decorate your new home! When everything is done you should have a contest for your followers. Pick one person to come see the house when everything is completed. My favorite from this video was the Long Beach Flea Market.
Long Beach flea seems like a treasure trove! With so many antique vintage items you are perfectly set up to go modern contemporary for art work…would create tremendous personality for your rooms. Fun!
I CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE IT ! However I can feel the Journey ! Those chairs and that long fabric pieces are to live for !!! I moved 17 years ago to my place which is Spanish Eclectic + style too - I am enjoying your first home decoration process vicariously !! It is so wonderful when someone loves and enjoys what they do !! #keepthemagic
Drew, Drew, Drew!! I cannot be the only mother of a redheaded son that is nearly nauseous after seeing your sunburn!! EVERYDAY, wake up, brush your teeth, wash your face, and PUT SUNSCREEN on your face, throat, neck and arms!!! EVERYDAY!! Or you will not be so handsome at 40, 50 and older. Trust me.
Drew your video made my Saturday morning! Wow, so much fun hanging out with you both and getting to see so many awesome treasures! Thank you so much for getting out of bed 🤣and sharing your energy, enthusiasm, and exciting shopping experience. It was all HEAVENLY... Big Hugs! 🥰
My therapist suggested me to go back home for some rest because of my years long insecurity for not having a stable place to stay, lacking the sense to really call a place home. Maybe she’ll be surprised that I learn more in your recent videos than just trying to tackle my own reality. Love to see how you treasure the stuff and your house, it’s more than material in life. As a designer I can also relate very much to the appreciation for the textures, qualities and craftsmanship of the pieces. Also you’re funny. Thanks for brightening up my days Drew :)
The chairs are awesome as well as the african cloths. You can make a very eclectic and interesting home with all that. In France people mix a lot styles provinçal et chabi chic. What is great about all your finds is that they are priced incredibly below market. Et voilà. A bientôt!
Wow, I used to go to all these things in my 20s, which was the late 70s into 80s when many were just swap meets, old car parts. But lucky to sometimes find those hippie artists and makers or old wicker etc. Some were antiques, like Hollywood Bowl has been forever! It picked up more to real vintage with the HGTV shows. I love when you show all the stores too. We retired to where we fished and camped 3 hours north of LA county. Sometimes I miss the big stores but dont miss the traffic!
I’m jealous! All those Senufo stools to chose from! I have to get them on eBay. How much were they? Large ones are $550 and up. I love the appreciation of African decorative arts. Modern before their time!
About your driving skills, Right after I said, "you better knock on wood, buddy," you said "there's no wood to knock on. ". You are so cute !! Drive safe !
Your content, voice, and just positive bubbly personality always feels like a nice big warm hug (idk if that’s weird lol) but I just feel all good and fuzzy when I watch your videos. I am in awe at all the antique stores pieces and hearing/reading about its origin and history of it all.
Kudos to you for doing your research and properly naming your chairs as African birthing chairs. Also, I think you're smart to be incorporating other African motifs into your home through the fabrics and textiles.
I love the personal moments you’ve been adding like bringing us along for car rides and seeing you hilarious sunburn reaction. 😆 Your pieces are stunning and I’m so excited for the unique direction you’re heading in (and that sink!)
Oh my ! You have great taste! I'm Spanish myself I felt as if I was shopping with you as you were looking at the amazing finds. You are a wonderful designer and have the perfect eye for things. You're Awesome! Love your channel my friend. Blessed Day 💓
@@lonefox Drew, I drove around for weeks with my black enameled cast iron kitchen sink in the back of my car because it was sooooo heavy. Good luck getting yours upstairs.
Hi Drew, I just come back from a trip from LA visiting my family, my sister just got a two story stunning farmhouse home, she doesn’t know much about decor , and allow me do help her without any restrictions we went thrift shopping, I keep your style suggestions and colors in mind , we found so many amazing items , she was so happy with the ideas, I will keeping helping from distance on how to decorate on a budget, Thank you for being an inspiration, be blessed ❤️💜💙
Wauw, what a haul! I have two big antique Chinese ginger pots, converted into lamp bases. So stunning and timeless. Every day I enjoy looking at them. And they fit in any interior. Oh and I also just bought a new house. So now I'm following you and Mckenna extra closely for inspiration!
I hope the weight of the sink isn't too much for your beautiful vanity. Loved what you got at the flea market. You probably know this, but many cultures make an intentional flaw in their rugs and tapestries to show that we mortals aren't perfect, only God.
Drew, just an FYI that the first small asymmetrical rug you showed looks to be an Islamic prayer rug. The user would point it (the narrow part of the design) towards Mecca when rolling it out to pray. I have a few prayers rugs that my father brought over from Iran. If you don’t know Spain’s Moorish history, it might fun for you to research that and its design influence on the country. A lot of the pieces you are picking would go well with it.
I'm glad to go shopping with you!!! My kids won't take me to the antique and Thrift shops.... I haven't been to a flea market for over 20 yrs.. So, keep on shopping and I'll just imagine that I'm just tagging along!!! ❤️
The sink you bought was originally for outdoor use. Bc it is not used for black water (kitchen or bathroom)water freely goes to gardens from side drainage without showering to your feet, simplest water recycle.
I’ve been to the Long Beach Antique Market and it is amazing and overwhelming! But yeah, stuff can be a bit expensive there. You had some great picks! Now you need to take us to the huge Rose Bowl Market!
Loved everything! It is SO fun to watch because you are buying some eclectic, different pieces and not just furniture etc from Goodwill. Can’t wait to see it all styled!
I love the fabric. It goes so well with the rug you already picked out. I’m not sure if the piece of furniture you have to put the sink on can handle that much weight. Might need to reinforce it. I am going to use a buffet for double sinks , too. I looked for months for one I loved. You got such a great price. Mine was $400, which compared to the price of a new vanity is still fabulous.
You look like your having so much fun. I Love you personality, love how excited you get when you find a great piece. My 🙏 Prayers to you for your new house. I just know it's going to be fantastic.
The sink is to die for!! Love it and can not wait to see it installed! Can you imagine some of that beautiful stone for a water feature!! Interested to see how you get that out of your car, safely!!
Oh my gosh Drew you have to keep the chairs. They are absolutely stunning. And I think they would look beautiful in your home. Still not sure how anybody could give birth in it however the firm reminds me of an Adirondack chair which are really comfortable. Again the chairs are everything.
A lot of great shopping. I thought you could have taken that whole pile of fabrics and none would been wrong. Can't wait to see what you do with your new items. 😁😁👋👋💖💖
✨💖✨I can’t wait to see all this styled! It’s been so much fun watching Drew from his early inspired thrift shop finds and diys to this beautiful new home. This next leg of the journey is going to be so much fun!
I’m a midwife and LOVE those birthing chairs! Wish you could come and help me sort out my home decor. Love all your ideas and cannot wait to see what you do in your new home!
-central Wisconsin: I think that stool would be good to put a plant on, but omg, how many of those little stools did you get? I saw a bunch on your floor.
What a fantastic haul. I love tagging along on your shopping excursions. I believe the bottle with the stopper in the top is an antique hot water bottle. If I'd seen it I would have bought it too.
Hi Drew - I so enjoyed shopping with you! Especially got a kick out of the stoneware jug you bought. Very popular in the Southeast where I grew up, they’re called moonshine jugs or moonshine whiskey jugs.
This was so fun. I loved all the things. If I went to this flee market I would definitely have to budget and leave my cards at home, because I could see me doing some serious damage to my account. I can hardly wait to see the full house tour 🤗🤗
Super gorgeous finds today at the flea market and at Olive atelier. Absolutely looooved the sink/basin. Though I do have my concerns if the console is strong enough for it. But as usual, you’ll find your path. I’m so excited to see the house done up with all these precious finds.
You both have such a great eye, what beautiful finds...I would be overwhelmed and give up as I have the attention span of a golden retriever, lol...also loving Brittany's look...please, please, what brand are her reading glasses and where can I buy?
The slow zoom ins are very reminiscent of my father in the 90s who fancied himself an amateur cinematographer. Also, your style is impeccable. I’m literally in love with every piece you acquired!
Hope you loved coming along with me today! We found some amazing items for the home 💕 Thank you Helix for sponsoring! Visit www.helixsleep.com/drewscott to get up to $200 off your Helix mattress, plus two free pillows. #helixsleep
We all had almost as much Fun!!!
Please tell me you bought the blue rug
Go to your local high school and grab a couple of football players to move the sink.
💞
I like the Helix mattress where can one purchase. Enjoyed shopping with you great items.

Interesting.
That is what I was going to point out. Here in Canada, it was called a "pig"!
Hi from the UK. They are bed warmers I owned two some years ago, they were made in different sizes, baby warmers also.
The rug that britney found was a prayer mat and the uneven design is for pointing in the direction for prayer. It's pretty thou and could be used as a rug
I was going to say that! Right on point! Beautiful prayer mat ♥️
Yes the rug is beautiful. Personally I would rather use it as wall hanging instead of stepping on it like a regular floor rug. Simply out of respect
And I'm a Catholic not a Muslim.
Yes a prayer mat for sure
I asked my bf about this because he is Muslim. He said a prayer mat is only for praying and using it as a regular rug is disrespectful.

That sink is absolutely gorgeous! Just a caution - make sure that the furniture piece you use underneath it can carry the weight. ❤️
Find out the exactly what you would use to clean your stone! Use nothing else.
I also thought the sinks would make a gorgeous outdoor garden water piece.

@@primateleah1 Yes, common in Europe...works well as well on cold nights!
@@primateleah1 I live in Edinburgh, Scotland, so we definitely appreciate a hot water bottle in winter 😁❄️❄️
Yes, that’s what they called a hot water bottle. My granny used to fill it with hot water in the winter when I stayed with her.
Yes it is a hot water bottle for sure!! I use one as a door stop in the kitchen ❤️
Those two fabric pieces would be really interesting as framed art.
Custom frame the table runner! It would make a stunning piece of art.
FANTASTIC Rug !!! & the stone sink !!! Thanks for including the bathroom pics. AMAZING finds on the textiles, chairs WOW Loved Everything !!!
Worried about how heavy the sink would be - can the vanity support it easily when filled with water? Those carved chairs were epic AF! I wish to hell I lived on the other side of the country and was rich so you could do a house for me!!!! That long runner might do nicely as a wall-to-wall wall hanging.
Water will add 8.3 pounds per gallon. After a 250 pound sink, that old vanity is solid wood, so I wouldn't worry about water in sink. Lol
the african koba cloth- wow is it 10 or 12 feet long? - yes frame it and use as 'gallery' piece
I had the same thought. I bet the variety could be reinforced from the inside to carry the extra weight.

That rug you found is actually a prayer mat and its so funny how many people are using prayer mats as rugs nowadays.

My therapist suggested me to go back home for some rest because of my years long insecurity for not having a stable place to stay, lacking the sense to really call a place home. Maybe she’ll be surprised that I learn more in your recent videos than just trying to tackle my own reality. Love to see how you treasure the stuff and your house, it’s more than material in life. As a designer I can also relate very much to the appreciation for the textures, qualities and craftsmanship of the pieces. Also you’re funny. Thanks for brightening up my days Drew :)
The chairs are awesome as well as the african cloths. You can make a very eclectic and interesting home with all that. In France people mix a lot styles provinçal et chabi chic. What is great about all your finds is that they are priced incredibly below market. Et voilà. A bientôt!
Wow, I used to go to all these things in my 20s, which was the late 70s into 80s when many were just swap meets, old car parts. But lucky to sometimes find those hippie artists and makers or old wicker etc. Some were antiques, like Hollywood Bowl has been forever! It picked up more to real vintage with the HGTV shows. I love when you show all the stores too. We retired to where we fished and camped 3 hours north of LA county. Sometimes I miss the big stores but dont miss the traffic!
Yeah, and now at our age we're looking to purge our homes of stuff we acquired in our youth. 😆
🤯The chairs and mud clothes had me SOLD Drew! The chairs i'd keep for a lifetime. 🙌🏾
please show how you get the basin out of your car. great finds. lastly....how much were the basin and the birthing chairs?
I’m jealous! All those Senufo stools to chose from! I have to get them on eBay. How much were they? Large ones are $550 and up. I love the appreciation of African decorative arts.
Modern before their time!
About your driving skills, Right after I said, "you better knock on wood, buddy," you said "there's no wood to knock on. ". You are so cute !! Drive safe !
dont forget you have a great courtyard out front and some of those pots would be lovely. 🌸
Your content, voice, and just positive bubbly personality always feels like a nice big warm hug (idk if that’s weird lol) but I just feel all good and fuzzy when I watch your videos. I am in awe at all the antique stores pieces and hearing/reading about its origin and history of it all.
I came to say the same thing. He's so wholesome and sweet.
Kudos to you for doing your research and properly naming your chairs as African birthing chairs. Also, I think you're smart to be incorporating other African motifs into your home through the fabrics and textiles.
I love the personal moments you’ve been adding like bringing us along for car rides and seeing you hilarious sunburn reaction. 😆
Your pieces are stunning and I’m so excited for the unique direction you’re heading in (and that sink!)
I love everything you bought! I can start to imagine how this home will look and it’s going to be amazing.
PS. PLEASE KEEP THOSE CHAIRS FOR YOUR HOME!
Oh my !
You have great taste!
I'm Spanish myself I felt as if I was shopping with you as you were looking at the amazing finds.
You are a wonderful designer and have the perfect eye for things.
You're Awesome!
Love your channel my friend.
Blessed Day 💓
Everything was so beautiful at oliveateliers😍. Can’t wait to see what you do with your new home !
Wasn’t it all so beautiful!! 😍 I couldn’t believe it when I walked around the corner

Drew, I drove around for weeks with my black enameled cast iron kitchen sink in the back of my car because it was sooooo heavy.
Good luck getting yours upstairs.
Hi Drew, I just come back from a trip from LA visiting my family, my sister just got a two story stunning farmhouse home, she doesn’t know much about decor , and allow me do help her without any restrictions we went thrift shopping, I keep your style suggestions and colors in mind , we found so many amazing items , she was so happy with the ideas, I will keeping helping from distance on how to decorate on a budget, Thank you for being an inspiration, be blessed ❤️💜💙
Wauw, what a haul! I have two big antique Chinese ginger pots, converted into lamp bases. So stunning and timeless. Every day I enjoy looking at them. And they fit in any interior. Oh and I also just bought a new house. So now I'm following you and Mckenna extra closely for inspiration!
Trends come and go,but uniqueness and quality of what you bought,timeless. Enjoyed your trip..
I hope the weight of the sink isn't too much for your beautiful vanity. Loved what you got at the flea market. You probably know this, but many cultures make an intentional flaw in their rugs and tapestries to show that we mortals aren't perfect, only God.
Absolutely beautiful finds and those chairs are aaaaamazing😍
Drew, just an FYI that the first small asymmetrical rug you showed looks to be an Islamic prayer rug. The user would point it (the narrow part of the design) towards Mecca when rolling it out to pray. I have a few prayers rugs that my father brought over from Iran. If you don’t know Spain’s Moorish history, it might fun for you to research that and its design influence on the country. A lot of the pieces you are picking would go well with it.
I think those chairs are going to look fantastic in your home. You will bring everything together in harmony, everything was beautiful
I'm glad to go shopping with you!!! My kids won't take me to the antique and Thrift shops.... I haven't been to a flea market for over 20 yrs..
So, keep on shopping and I'll just imagine that I'm just tagging along!!! ❤️
I'm so sorry you don't get to visit shops/markets you'd like to. ❤
I've been house bound for years. I know what that feels like😘
Those textile rugs would make great table mats and pillow covers. Or even just wall displays.
They are beautiful and fun.
WOW! You weren't kidding, that place is heaven! I want to go so badly!
I just love the energy you put out, Drew! Thanks for including us in your new house journey!
the house is coming together and its gorgeous!!! I cant wait for the end result!!!
The sink you bought was originally for outdoor use. Bc it is not used for black water (kitchen or bathroom)water freely goes to gardens from side drainage without showering to your feet, simplest water recycle.
I’ve been to the Long Beach Antique Market and it is amazing and overwhelming! But yeah, stuff can be a bit expensive there. You had some great picks! Now you need to take us to the huge Rose Bowl Market!
Yes and Brittany is a great partner on this Flee Market and antiquing adventure
Loved everything! It is SO fun to watch because you are buying some eclectic, different pieces and not just furniture etc from Goodwill. Can’t wait to see it all styled!
Your videos is so calm and aesthetic that's what every one wants ♥️🥰💖🍓😍🍓
I love the fabric. It goes so well with the rug you already picked out. I’m not sure if the piece of furniture you have to put the sink on can handle that much weight. Might need to reinforce it. I am going to use a buffet for double sinks , too. I looked for months for one I loved. You got such a great price. Mine was $400, which compared to the price of a new vanity is still fabulous.
You look like your having so much fun. I Love you personality, love how excited you get when you find a great piece. My 🙏 Prayers to you for your new house. I just know it's going to be fantastic.
The sink is to die for!! Love it and can not wait to see it installed! Can you imagine some of that beautiful stone for a water feature!! Interested to see how you get that out of your car, safely!!
Oh my gosh Drew you have to keep the chairs. They are absolutely stunning. And I think they would look beautiful in your home. Still not sure how anybody could give birth in it however the firm reminds me of an Adirondack chair which are really comfortable. Again the chairs are everything.
Love love the chair's!
You always just “Make My Day”.
What a fun shopping trip! Thanks for taking us along!
A lot of great shopping. I thought you could have taken that whole pile of fabrics and none would been wrong. Can't wait to see what you do with your new items. 😁😁👋👋💖💖
I am so excited to see what you doing your new home. You are so unique.
✨💖✨I can’t wait to see all this styled! It’s been so much fun watching Drew from his early inspired thrift shop finds and diys to this beautiful new home. This next leg of the journey is going to be so much fun!
Perfect timing as I can see MaCenna's house reno project is nearing completion.
This junkie needs her fix!
Your excitement is contagious!
Omg, that cutting board! 💕
I’m green with envy! It will look stunning in your house. I cannot wait to see what you do with it!
It was too good to pass up! Under $100 as well which I thought was pretty fair for how large it was 😍😍😍
Wow...glad your smile is back...alot of great finds. Take care...
I’m a midwife and LOVE those birthing chairs! Wish you could come and help me sort out my home decor. Love all your ideas and cannot wait to see what you do in your new home!
Drew, I love this video. I love reading all the comments. I'm learning so much from you and the viewers.
-central Wisconsin: I think that stool would be good to put a plant on, but omg, how many of those little stools did you get? I saw a bunch on your floor.
Love the narrow wood bench for a small space at the front door . Great for getting your shoes on and off .
What an adventure 😇 those African chairs are still being made by artisans in Madagascar and Africa in general.
What a fantastic haul. I love tagging along on your shopping excursions. I believe the bottle with the stopper in the top is an antique hot water bottle. If I'd seen it I would have bought it too.
Hi Drew - I so enjoyed shopping with you! Especially got a kick out of the stoneware jug you bought. Very popular in the Southeast where I grew up, they’re called moonshine jugs or moonshine whiskey jugs.
I was wondering if they knew moonshine jug .
The fabric you found is called Kuba cloth. Amazing - look up the meaning and how they are made.
Thank you Ky!
This was so fun.
I loved all the things. If I went to this flee market I would definitely have to budget and leave my cards at home, because I could see me doing some serious damage to my account. I can hardly wait to see the full house tour 🤗🤗
Super gorgeous finds today at the flea market and at Olive atelier. Absolutely looooved the sink/basin. Though I do have my concerns if the console is strong enough for it. But as usual, you’ll find your path. I’m so excited to see the house done up with all these precious finds.
You both have such a great eye, what beautiful finds...I would be overwhelmed and give up as I have the attention span of a golden retriever, lol...also loving Brittany's look...please, please, what brand are her reading glasses and where can I buy?
OMG Drew, how fabulous are the finds you got!!! Dude your new home is going to be stunning! Fun!!!
Your new house is amazing can’t wait to see what u do with it and how you decorate it
The slow zoom ins are very reminiscent of my father in the 90s who fancied himself an amateur cinematographer. Also, your style is impeccable. I’m literally in love with every piece you acquired!
Sorry, I had a red neck situation myself and couldn't stop laughing.
Keep up the good you do, love your style.
