With this vanity, I decided to try something different from the usual style of splitting the two parts into nightstands. I thought tambour doors would look great in the middle, so that's what I attempted. It was actually trickier than I thought to figure out the design and the order in which to assemble the pieces, but it all worked out in the end. I think this may be the most functional thing I've ever built...

You create some beautiful pieces. I love seeing the end results. This was wonderful.
It's been a minute, we've missed you. Gorgeous piece as always🎉🎉
Как всегда отличная работа! Когда смотрю ваши ролики, мои глаза отдыхают. Умеете вы из ничего сделать конфетку!❤

People love to hack on Temu, but it's up to the individual consumer to shop intelligently and read descriptions before buying. I shop Temu for specific items and I'm never disappointed
Your videos have gotten so cinematic! Really relaxing to watch and inspiring.
You’ve become one of those creators where I automatically click the thumbs up when I start watching. You never fail to produce something amazing and your videos are artfully done.
Me too!!
ATrestorations, look him up and enjoy.
The videos themselves are a work of art. I love them!
Clever woodworking, clever filming and editing, clever man. Also love the puppies.
Me too 🇦🇺
The way my mouth dropped when you showed up on camera and started talking to us omg.
I know I was shocked too at first, then simply delighted.
Lol same
Same! Totally! 😂😂 I was so shocked! 😂❤
Same!
Same, was not expecting that. First time we truly seen him. 👍
"Wow you really watched till the very end" - of course. Because not only did we get a gorgeous restoration with improvements which match the original style, but we also got puppies! ♥🐶🐶
your videos calm me beyond words. No music, quiet dedication to your craft. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. Beautiful results every time.
Come for the wood work; stay for the phenomenal editing skills
He is really good.
I think the original designer would be more than pleased with the improvements you have made to this piece! And the finish is remarkable. You continue to amaze. 🇨🇦💕
You have a privileged imagination to not only restore but also resolve what is missing or left over in a piece and make it look like a unique and original piece of furniture. Seeing you working is hypnotic.
From a $20 piece of furniture, to a $1000 piece of furniture! BRAVO!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💖💋💖
Wow!!! Doesn't even look like the same piece. I like how you repurpose your woods and make them look like they were always a part of the piece that you worked on.
Glad to see you got your channel back 🎉🎉
Oh I understand. You are NOT “just” a furniture refinished, you are an ARTIST, a craftsman. ❤
When I saw this piece, I thought you would turn it into two nightstands. This is so much better, an entirely new piece. Beautiful!
Another masterpiece! Both the vanity and the filmmaking! Thank you Andy for sharing your brilliance (and humor)❤❤❤
Great to see you got all of your content back after the hack! ❤
Also great on the new format of you actually talking, explaining and all. Keep that up.
ok obviously your furniture restoration and woodworking skills are impressive but your editing skills are wild!! so much attention to detail, different interesting camera angles, storytelling, stop motion… we can tell that you really enjoy editing these videos as much as you enjoy restoring the furniture. amazing work!
Excellent Restoration. Anytime natural wood is re-exposed and not repainted, is a good thing to see.
May I say you have truly outdone yourself with this one. The bar has been raised, can’t wait to see what you do next…
Do you sell those?
Phenomenal job on this makeover. This guy understands woodworking, design, film editing, and puppies :)
Agreed. I love tambour doors and you really elevated this piece while keeping 100% true to the style.
Another AMAZING MAKEOVER! To make the doors coordinate with the trim on the drawers, was genius! It looks like it was always made that way!
Great job! I like the useful new rooftop doors, makes a very functional space there. Cute puppies! 😻
Loving the sliding doors addition to this piece. Your vision is excellent. So happy that you went with stain instead of colored paint. I have a 100-yr old drum table that is currently stained with black. I prefer a red mahogany, so I plan to sand and restain, but I am nervous I will mess it up LOL
nothing ventured nothing gained
I'm afraid his vision is not excellent 🤓 🙃 jk
Try out the stain on scrap pieces of wood until you feel more confident with it.
If you mess it up, sand it again
Your videos are so original without useless music, this dresser is a beauty ! I love everything about it !
You are definitely are an artisan. This work was beautifully done. Thank you for sharing.
I missed this yesterday because I "SOMEHOW" was unsubscribed!!! NEVER did I do that! Everyone should check and make sure that you are still subbed.
If the individual who sold this, ever saw this, I believe they may never stop crying! ♥️
So glad you’re back!! 20:51 gave me a fright 😅😅😅
This puts the Art in Art Deco. Love the repurposing - instead of cutting up the piece, you've found another way to keep it functional than simply turning it into nightstands. Great consideration for details, this is one of my favourites of yours!
To see what you see when you look at a piece must truly be magical 😊it is such a treat to see the treasures you create!
simply BEAUTIFUL.......................so is your fur baby. You are so talented.
Everything is perfect, from the tambour doors, interior light, the stain and the knobs. And the fact that it’s all recycled is wonderful. A brilliant idea and a beautiful job. Carol from California, USA
Another masterpiece. You always go above and beyond, it's a pleasure to watch and see the outcome. Beautiful. 😳👍
I am again blown away by your stash of lumber. Nice work on the vanity, a great way to repurpose the piece and still keep the original design. Well done !
Beautiful job. The natural wood is always better than the paint. I love how you created the new sliding doors. Outstanding!
It's always amazing watching you create a silk purse out of a sow's ear (if you haven't heard of that before, it's an old adage). Mind you, this piece wasn't that bad to start with, but it's fabulous and much more practical and useful now.
Brilliant addition to the piece, and period appropriate. Lovely work!
Great restoration & renovation and video!...as always. But in this one you show more face your voice and your dog! Good for you Andy👍💕
Wow. You took that from "Cool, that's going to look really nice..." to "Holy crap that's gorgeous!" As usual. Always a good day when you post a new video.
More furniture flipper slash woodworking people need to see your work. I know so many of these beauties come up but people don't quite know how to make them fit into a today home. ❤
At first i didn't think the piece would need an additional storage area, but it turned out amazing!! Welcome back!
Love the process- restoration, renovation, Innovation. ❤ I will show your videos to my son hence he can take inspiration to be creative as a young lad.
Ooooo! Speaking to camera! I'm glad you took that step :) Your videos are great and it's good to see more of you in them. This was a gorgeous restoration. And your dogs are very cute.
Great job! I love the doors you added. Also, I really like the camera work in your videos. The various angles provide Interesting perspectives.
Your attention to detail is wonderful. I thoughky enjoyed this, and what a good eye for colour matching.
What a beautiful piece of furniture was hidden beneath all tjhat chalk paint! Fantastic job ❤
Good to see you talking to us. Love your humor, filming,editing and most of all seeing what you create. You are thee best craftsman I watch on UA-cam and I watch about 20. Hope all is well and safe now. Glad you’re back 🇺🇸👍🏼
Breathtakingly beautiful I so so enjoyed your video congratulations to an absolutely wonderful lesson on restoration perfection.
Eva from Scotland
Well Andy you trapped me into hours of enjoyable videos !! I am probably not one of your usual viewers as i am a 79 year old woman but i love your work ethics and how you save all your scraps for future projects. You see the beauty in old discarded furniture and make stunning things out of them. Kudoos to you and your site on UA-cam....and now back to my viewing since I have lots to catch up on.
Very tastefully done. Your additional cabinet looks exactly like it was part of the original design. Thank you for sharing this with us.
12:30 Never ever in my life has the piece of wood I want been on top of the stack!😂 Love your work! Fellow P.Eng. Woodworker here…
Cute sleepy pup at the end!! Impressed with how the piece came together as well, I was feeling skeptical until we broke out the stain.
What a Genius restoration. I love your ingenuity. Job well done.😃
What a phenomenol restoration! The doors look like they've been there all along.
Happy to see a new project!
The attention to detail. ❤ once again a beautiful refurbishment.
Excellent as always. Next time try Goldman's Wood Balm when you need a beeswax finish. I've been using it on some projects and it works very well.
Genius - more practical as a sideboard than a vanity in this day and age❤🎉
Very nice end product. Love the doggy too.
Welcome back! I have missed your videos. Beautiful work as usual. I love the stain that you used. Not too dark and with just a touch of the red tones to give it warmth. So much work to make those rolltop doors but so worth it. they make the piece unique.
Ugh I love a good art deco piece. I'd buy this in a heartbeat if I were local. Great work.
You’re editing skills are as astounding as your work❣️
Great job, just beautiful!!
😍 I love it.
You outdid yourself! You took a beautiful piece(without the paint!) and made it even more gorgeous! Plus, you made it fun to watch. Well done, well done!
That’s gorgeous! Well thought out and perfectly executed. The brass sets off that beautiful wood grain perfectly.❤️🐝🤗
Another cinematic masterpiece. The dresser is amazing too 😊
What a gorgeous result! Gave it a very good beautiful, useful piece! So much fun to watch this come to life!
I'm so glad you got your channel back! I'm commenting before watching because I already know it will be an amazing transformation with brilliant editing. Seeing a new Modern Makeovers video always make my day!
Thank you very much for getting rid of the paint and letting the woods beauty shine. Amazing job!!!
This video is an absolute gem! The camera positioning is superb. All your effort doesn’t go unnoticed
What a fantastic eye you have. Great result.
It's stunning, I love it. Love your videos. And I know, you gotta take sponsorships that work for you and a place you can get woodworking tools makes sense. But I would caution you to do some research into the ethics and implications of Temu. I know I know, all our faves are problematic, and no judgement because I know you gotta get paid for this beautiful artistry. The doors were a great idea and flow really seamlessly with the piece. I honestly can rewatch your videos multiple times too because I feel like they're so interesting.
yes! i commented about the issues with promoting temu as well-- but you phrased it so much better haha. hope he sees our comments!
@@lindarileyart thanks. I didn't wanna be too heavy handed because I frequently hear ppl say "oh but I didn't know." So I assume he doesn't know, especially if he's not already locked in to ethical vs fast fashion discourse, since I feel like that's the fastest way to immediately recognize these companies when they pop up. Anyway I do hope he sees it, but the caution can also then stand for his viewers as well even if he doesn't. Perhaps he's at a point to start a patreon.
Wanted to say the same. I dont like the sponsorship of a company like Temu.
Hello from Chicago! Just last night I was rewatching some of your videos and thought to myself “man it’s been awhile, hope he posts a new video soon.” Love your work, very meticulous clean and good techniques. Love the subtle passive humor and awesome videography. I’m an amateur and beginner to restoring furniture but your channel has been a huge inspiration. Keep going you have supporters!
Chicago represent 🤝
Yep, til the very end 👍🏻. You’re amazing Andy, everything you did to this is perfect, and you’ve created a perfect piece.
WoW!! Those doors are so cool!! Came out beautiful and I am so glad you stained instead of painting!!
Oh my goodness, absolutely gorgeous! Extra cute fur baby 😍! Stunning job! 😊❤
This vanity turned out simply amazing and it looks natural too. Great job. Have a wonderful day and be safe
It's so well filmed and edited we don't need much talking - I think what's here is enough. Great renovation, great video.
Out standing job I love that it looks old and not new
Your vision, what you can see in your head and then making it a reality, is truly a gift.
I had a dresser very similar to this growing up in the 60’s, I would have loved those sliding doors.
Sadly mine was painted. I love the look and feel of natural wood grain, I agree nothing smoother than freshly waxed wood. Seriously from my POV your videos are calming and therapeutic watching you work, bringing another wounded piece of furniture back to life. Subscribed. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
Wow you are an amazing visionary for old furniture whose destiny is the local dump.. well done!!!
Andy, once again a job well done. You are such a detail oriented young man and I love how you work on your projects. I love this idea for this vanity. Very clever and so much more useful. I'm always happy to see you pop up on my feed. 🥰❤️
Andy, it’s so good to see you back. Thanks for the brilliant additions to this piece, especially when mid-mod is your favorite style. You even kept the original fringe bling. The tambour doors you created threw shadows thanks to your carving and your staining/waxing. The partition walls classed it up. Each step proved your status as a master crafter/carpenter. Play with your new toys whenever you want because you figure out ways to innovate with them. We should figure out a way to promote your willingness to repurpose. 0:04
Temu is one of the least environmentally friendly shops in the entire world, not to mention one whose workers live and work under appalling conditions. As a creator whose videos are all about reusing the old and increasing the life of already excisting items, I would encourage you to think twice before accepting them as a sponsor again. I understand you need sponsors, but I hope in the future you’ll choose ones that are better both environmentally and when it comes to basic human rights.
Everything you buy is made in china, by the same factories temu gets their products. Temu is alibaba but the surplus items that arent sold. Every market on etsy every big box store in the US gets all their products from the same manufacturers alibaba and temu get their goods.
No one has the money right now to buy exclusively made in usa items, and its classist af to demand people do that in this economy.
Phenomenal transformation to beautiful cabinetry.
Your work is top notch. The restoration and repurpose of this piece is inspired!!! I imagine using it as my fancy liquor display and storage piece.
This peice is the best makeover I’ve seen on UA-cam for a long time it’s smart and a brilliant upcycle😊
Love how you made this kind of a sideboard... or a "bar" even. Toning down the different woods worked very well - they still provide contrast but don't SCREAM. Well done!
Stunning restoration! I personally liked the look of the mismatched wood, but i love the finished product more. Your vision is remarkable!
I know I’ve said it before, but you are a master craftsman! You absolutely amaze me, you are so young and have so much talent. It’s good to see you don’t waste your talent. This piece turned out, absolutely astounding. I appreciate you taking the time to share the beauty of what you create with all of us. Take care, stay safe.
Y’all I was shocked and baffled when he was in the camera and talking. I’m glad you are becoming more comfortable in the camera. Makes it more direct and personal 🫶🏼 keep up the amazing work
Andy, I have to say you never disappoint. Your creativity is simply remarkable. The end result was stunning, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
As always, your videos are a pleasure to watch. Nicely done.
It is nice to see you taking. You have a beautiful voice. May I suggest you do a video about all the wood pieces you have saved. It seems that you have the right one for every restoration you have made. 🤩🤩🤩
I am stunned!!! You are a furniture artist with vision and skill. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful job, Andy, as always. You are clever, creative, and skilled!
This piece was done _beautifully._ Outstanding creation.
Your videography is fantastic, your idea of the sliding door makes the piece that much special. Thank you for sharing
Dude you are the best film and edit of all these refin shows…. And your work is equally as good!! We need more!!
Beautiful. Nothing is better that wood looking like wood instead of painted.
21:28 I have the same knobs. Instead of Brasso I use a mix of lemmon juice, liquid dish soap and a bit of water for bronze cleaning. Clean with a cloth and then clear water and a then a dry cloth. The shine lasts longer
I have no words to say how beautiful your work was. As we say here in Brazil: YOU KILLED IT! Congratulations .
Always a pleasure to watch a master at his craft, loved your ideas on this one, your impeccable workmanship, your filming and editing, your "speaking" on camera, and the puppies. What a treat!
Thank you for making your video. Thank you UA-cam algorithm for bringing me here. Your work is so admirable, entertaining, and inspiring. You make woodworking seem so seamless and easy peasy. I would purchase your renovated furniture because you do such an excellent job.
Yes, I watched to the very end! LOL!
One of the things that I love about watching your videos is that they're not just the record of a highly skilled craftsman, but they're actually works of art -- "they" meaning your restorations/creations. I feel like you're telling a story with every piece you share with us. It's so cool.
the vanity turned out to be massive but still elegant ♥️
Absolutely stunning, as always.
I also like that you included yourself in the video. It’s like we finally get to see and hear you at the same time ❤
If yours were the only videos out there, I'd be okay with that! I am in awe of the magic you do to pieces you come across. A true artisan. Beautiful result.
