    • @gnarbeljo8980
      @gnarbeljo8980 3 роки тому +9

      @ it would totally work only one would have to construct rounded doorframes to cover with pole wrap and add hinges and a hidden clasp. The problem with that being it would be difficult to open them standing flush against a wall. The roll top desk style opening requires a whole different framing and hardware on the back of the shelf so it has somewhere to slide, I'm not familiar with pole wrap so not sure the material is suited for it. Loose oak slats with cable run through at the ends may work better. Definately a more expensive build.

    Leonard's was my favorite because it was very warm and dynamic - and stronger, so it can hold more/heavier books! Drew's was nice too. I think I could see it working in a variety of spaces in different colors, like a dusky blue to bring it out against the white room.

    • @partlyironic
      @partlyironic 2 роки тому +2

      It’s interesting that you think Leonards could hold more books, considering he literally cut away at the shelves? Whats the reasoning behind that?

  • @MAJewellery
    @MAJewellery 3 роки тому +26

    Loved both of these as they are so different. Drew's clean, simple and elegant and Leonard's has movement and is more organic.

    I love how their personalities reflect in their work. They both produced stunning pieces. I've always been a fan of Drew and I have watched him on his channel (Lone Fox) for a few years now. It's incredible how far he has come, and he deserves every bit of success. Drew's aesthetic is more of my style but both pieces are works of art. ✌️

    Leonard’s bookcase reminded me of a piece of furniture from HAY Design or DWR, while Drew’s looked like a piece from Cb2 or Crate and Barrel. Both put their flare on it! I’m really impressed!

    @andreaandrea6716 2 роки тому +6

    I LOVED this!!!!! Seriously. Best of all was the end part/reveal where each designer gets to see the other's project and they were so lovely with each other! THAT was heart warming (I am sick to death of stupidly competitive behaviour). This was wonderful!

    Both are stunning. I would buy Drew’s immediately as that is my kind of style. But I would also buy Leonard’s to place somewhere as a special statement piece. The creativity is out of this world.

  • @kariscreativequest1711
    @kariscreativequest1711 2 роки тому +1

    OMG!!! I love both of these. I love how both of them shared their design and reconstruction steps, including useful tips. I generally love Drew's projects. This one is certainly not an exception to that. The lines, and texture the wrapping material added are awesome. I also appreciated how he decided to change the overall shape of it. But Leonard's unit is so incredible. I love how he shared tips on how to deal with a material that can be a bit difficult. How he explained that some steps were adding structural value as well as contributing to his design ideas.

  • @holycheeseitssam
    @holycheeseitssam 3 роки тому +17

    I am obsessed with both! Leonard’s fits the vibe of my home perfectly with the funky lines and the incredible color but I could see Drew’s being sold on CB2 like Leonard said! I have rewatched Leonard’s reveal about five times it is SO COOL. I love this!!

  • @MARIOLANZO

    Most of all, my heart was smiling at the dialogue you and Steve had about each other's projects. With all the unsettling news we hear every day, it was refreshing to hear two artist complementing each other in a genuine way.

  • @rosehill1595
    @rosehill1595 2 роки тому +27

    Love them both, it just depends on whatever works in your space. That said, Leonards is my favorite for two reasons, it almost looks like it is in motion, he added strength to the connectors (I have lots of heavy books:) and he replaced the back by using one solid piece of masonite instead of foldable ~cardboard~. Since I am not afraid of color - Leonard's piece would match my walls... I'm a big fan of Drew's, love a lot of his DIY's and cool ideas - and yeah, not everyone has power tools, but I will try the Shellac on my kitchen cabinets - thanks for your inspiration boys - well done!

  • @Mitchisinlove1

    I love Drew's so much, definitely something I would put up in my home. It's easy on the eyes and easy to style too. I love it! As someone with a small space, I prefer neutral pieces with texture in order to brighten up my home and make it appear larger than it is.

  • @elizabethfisher1634

    @JuriLuvsU 3 роки тому +14

    I love the style and look of Drew's piece! Such a cool texture, and the classic color would fit in any home. I do wish you could open the sides though--if they could open and close magnetically, they'd make some great additional shelf storage. Leonard's piece is so fun and vibrant! A very risky choice to paint it a flat orange, but then it looks so classy after he styles it. It's walking a fine line between kid's playroom and eclectic, quirky adult. It could be quite the versatile piece! This was so fun to watch!!

  • @myeahonline
    @myeahonline 3 роки тому +1

    Drew in high production content is so satisfying. His normal production still is, but when someone else shoots him, he looks magical!
    Also, loved both book cases. The contrasts to their approach are great, really speaks to different audiences and visually interesting. This is my first time learning about Leonard, and I loved his practical and professional approach paired with his educational additions.

    Thanks to Drew for the tip about pole wrap, and to Leonard for the info about that use for shellac!
    Honestly, these are both wonderful, so it would depend on which room I needed the shelf for. Leonard's would work in my music room, and Drew's design would look great in the current living room.

    They're both so beautiful, would love something like this as a series with varied designers! I love that they're both appreciative of each others work, no need to compete, and how each described the process accessibly to the viewers (so jealous of Leonard's workshop) so that they can potentially achieve something similar if they wanted to at home.

I really love your bookcase and that column wrap? oh pole wrap - that stuff is awesome. I'm seeing faux shiplap or beaded panel on the bottom of my walls...
    and Leonard, wow, that design was awesome. I was looking at it at first thinking he cheated - he did not use the BILLY, lol. Kudos to you for creating something that literally defied its origins.
    Both of you guys created amazing projects!!!

    Wow...both shelfs are just beautiful. I sometimes DIY a little bit by myself (whenever it's necessary again to come up with a storage idea in my 2-room 41sqm. apartment) but in none of my dreams I would have such an idea. Both of them did just great though I prefer Drew's, because I like the clean-line design and the discreet color. I'm a huge Bauhaus fan and Drew's idea comes close to this concept.

  • @MarianneKornelius15
    @MarianneKornelius15 3 роки тому

    I am a huge fan of Drew’s and I loved his shelf but I have such a huge appreciation for Leonard’s craftsmanship and how he just took the shelf apart and put it back into something else😦 but both styles resonate much with who they are as creators.

  • @countrysister700
    @countrysister700 3 роки тому +9

    • @lsamoa
      @lsamoa 3 роки тому +1

      Shellac is amazing. It also seals bad smells so it's brilliant when you're renovating a place or object that smells of tobacco or had water damage.

    So the approtche is very different, how they see the same furniture is different but even more so the "i see this & going to end with that" is so different
    Yea really good episode this 1! Love both bookcases
    I would go for Drew's but in Leonard colorchoice
