TINY OFFICE MAKEOVER from a CLOSET *DIY Desk & Handmade Decor*

You should call this series "Repeat Remake" 😍 I love seeing how you make the same spaces look totally new

[@ourwildflowerhaus]

I love this!!!

[@connied6630]

Great idea!

[@natalienicolechetty1870]

We all do this. We have to live with the space so our styles change and it's so normal. I love this.

[@SamiLoft]

I laughed so much when you revealed the tape paint thing and then removed it immediately 😭

[@kareenlicop2062]

yaaaaahhh!!! 😆 but it looked nice though

[@lonefox]

HAHA!!

[@user-ze1dh1rx2u]

😭😂 plus i wonder how it would looked if it was painted dark/navy blue 😍

[@kcanded]

@@lonefox I think if you had used a different color it would have worked better? If you decide to do that again, just keep putting the tape all the way around, then remove every other piece. Might go faster.

[@Premchik]

Yes, it made me laugh so much too! A brilliant moment!

[@mistyduke880]

Drew walking home carrying the desk was so adorable. ❤ Such a cool find!

[@ForeverEclectic]

That desk belongs to a bedroom set. It actually came with a bookcase that attached to the top. We had the entire set growing up. My parents bought it from Sears:) Great job👍

[@airhutt]

Yes, My grandparents had the same set! When you said the bookcase on top it unlocked a memory for me lol.

[@kaylamyers11]

I have the desk and hutch! I use it as a bar.

[@RareRosebud]

@@kaylamyers11 I like your style lol

[@lonefox]

OMG!! That is so nice to know :)

[@foxymama2003]

I am sitting in my parents’ guest room looking at the same bedroom set 😂

[@buildergradetocustommade]

The absolute childlike delight at finding the desk is very charming!

[@MicheleWalkerWebb]

I know huh? "I'm dead"

[@IshikawaLuv]

“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” I grew up watching my mom take furniture people through out and bring home then make it lovely ☺️ I do the same now 😁

[@jjbee11]

Omg that desk (when you first found it) looks EXACTLY like the desk that my mom had when she was growing up, and that we just re-found in my grandma’s house in VA! It was a French Provincial desk from Sears, circa 70s/80s!

[@lonefox]

OMG Everyone is commenting about it being from Sears and I just googled and it 100% is the exact same one!

[@lestranged]

@@lonefox that is probably why the legs and hardware looks so similar as your dresser. They had to be mass produced and used on multiple furniture coordinating pieces.

[@michaelfrancistan]

I met you in LA at the Rose Bowl Flea Market and just wanted to say that he is genuinely the sweetest guy! Literally so kind and engaging for entertaining my question about what's his next project, unforgetable!

[@SeaTurtle515]

My mother, who passed away last year at 99, had the exact same dresser and desk as you have. The dresser is still gorgeous natural wood, but the desk she redid in antique white about 40 years ago. I have her desk in my room and my daughter has her dresser in her living room. These pieces have a timelessness about them and can be incorporated into many different types of decor style.

[@luluchidolue486]

I’ve always loved a supportive your parents are. And the fact that they run your online shop and ship everything speaks to how sweet they are. 💕💕💕

[@faithjohnson1020]

At first I was not convinced the chair would look good with the black desk. I thought immediately no.. but seeing the final look altogether it looks amazing. You always continue to amaze me with how you design. I wish I had even half the amount of talent/vision that you have.

[@JuriLuvsU]

I love that you are not afraid to try something, decide it's not right, and make a change. The ability to edit goes beyond tech, and it's such an important skill!

[@luckygirl1939]

OMG...I love it! The desk was a lucky find, and it looks a thousand times better painted black. That lamp is everything! I love all the Etsy items. Fantastic job! Also, you have such beautiful eyes.

[@lonefox]

Thank you so much!

[@rebeccaa2433]

I love how you incorporate the vintage wall art. People pass it by because it looks dated, but you totally refresh these old pieces. Great job!

[@EssenceAlexis]

Your excitement when you had the desk in your hands and how you walked away with it was SO CUTE. you’re adorable. Okay back to the video!

[@susiestokely3528]

Drew you are such a gentle, kind, happy person that inspires your audience with your creativity and humanity. I am grieving the passing of my kind, gentle, happy, and loving MIL, this video provided me some comfort. Thank you.

[@anannyanath9143]

I cannot thank you enough for these videos. My place do not have such shops as Target or IKEA, but everytime you do a DIY or a room makeover, you inspire me to utilise all the resources at hand. They've helped me get through a very difficult phase in my life, infusing in me the zeal to create things out of almost nothing, and I'm so glad I came across your channel. Thanks for existing, Drew.

[@unikreations2258]

You’re amazing! I love how enthusiastic about each project you engage in. Your bubbly personality is really contagious. I enjoy watching your makeovers, truly!

[@lisaneal4465]

Drew, once again you have taken a space and made it sing. Chef's Kiss!!! But more importantly in this video you look so happy. There is true joy that resonates on the screen in your smile. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. It looks great -- and the fact that it was Free!?! You go boy 😀

[@bohomom4439]

I had that desk growing up in the 70's! I had the entire bedroom set and I loved it. My daughter used it during the 90's.

[@eileenrohan3295]

You are such a beautiful old soul, Drew, and easily the best designer on KZbin. Loved how you pulled this all together.

[@blackcatproductions3]

I love it when you get excited and your voice gets super high pitched, you are too cute! What a beautiful office, it's so YOU. My favorite is the marble pieces...they give me cool early 80's vibes...LOVE.

[@jenniferdesmarais619]

I had the whole set growing up “twin bed, tall dresser, desk, chair and side table” in the early 70’s so that desk is Definitely vintage

[@Hethwen]

I love everything you did. Drew, you scored when you found the desk... and your talent and eye for design is FAR beyond your years. BRILLIANT !!!

[@DIYbri]

It’s a joy to see a new upload from you, Drew!!

[@katafrncz1262]

The thing about your videos is that usually there is one element during the process where I’m like ‘no, that’s not going to work’ and by the end you always manage to pull the space together that it is just perfect! (This time it was the chair for me, which by the end looked great there) amazing job!

[@kalidavis8443]

My daughter absolutely adores you drew! She loves watching your videos with me .

[@berlinorama]

The desk is so cool and the whole alcove looks lovely. I also love finding stuff other people have discarded! A few weeks ago I found a great vintage teardrop mirror just a block from my house, propped against a box of giveaway stuff on some steps.

[@lonefox]

It's so fun when you find a gem!

[@sharonlamarche6468]

Absolutely love Drew. His eyes are amazing! And his ideas and attention to detail, are beyond compare.

[@lakegirl3834]

[@deniseborchardt4491]

Yes! Especially the scene in the car with the baseball cap on!

[@AMT_823]

Drew I swear you be killing 'em...every.single.time. I LOVE the direction your style has turned to lately...so cozy and classy and warm. That desk makeover...wowsers...what a difference a little paint can make! Love you, and your upbeat spirit just makes my day!! 👏🏽🤗

[@lonefox]

Thank you so so much! I’m so happy you can see a change in my style. I’ve really been experimenting with a more eclectic look with all my spaces :)

[@michelez715]

Beautiful. You have magical taste, Drew, but what I love most is that you're hands on, and can do all the practical things, too. I'm glad you took the stripes off the arch, as simple is better in a small space, imo.

[@juliegramse5317]

I absolutely love the dark color of your desk and what you did to the pulls!! I'm wondering what you'd think about adding a rug to your office space, just to ground it. Your videos are always so inspiring! Love watching your channel Drew!!

[@dianel958]

J'adore your enthusiasm when you find the dresser! Love all your content! Thank you for all you do. every single time after I watch a reno video I then want to reno another part of my home..we're in end part of painting inside and outside of our 110 year old house. So fun!!

[@cmitchell7347]

Always enjoy the evolution you envision for your spaces. You could do a series of still shots featuring the beautiful architectural elements of your place. Was pleasantly distracted by the amazing, dappled sunlight through your windows. Lovely space courtesy of you AND Mother Nature.

[@lonefox]

One of my favorite features of this home is the nature and sunlight surrounding!

That checkerboard material in the glass STROKE OF GENIUS!!!

[@LouiseT2405]

Frame! I mean 😂

[@joanneketch5103]

That is a beautiful space. I agree that the striped archway would detract from the vibe of the space. More than a refresh, less than a remodel. It's gorge.

[@charliecat654]

Love this new refresh. You are right. It blends in with what you have recently done with your bedroom. That desk... What a great find... Literally! 👍

[@mariacabrera2850]

I had that desk!!! In the late 70's I had the matching bedroom set with a canopy bed. I believe my mom got it from Sears; she called it French Provincial. This is like a blast from my past!!🖤🧑‍🎤🖤

[@ceciledupuy2943]

I’m French, living in provence, I swear, that’s not a French provincial style ! 😇not a big deal… have a nice day 🤗

Super result! Desk is 1000% improved. Art terms: a bust is head, upper chest and shoulders. What you have is a torso. Amphorae have a specific form used for shipping wine, with pointy bottoms. Love the little Cezanne print, very inspirational.

Your joy is a vibe! And that desk ... your karma for being such a good human. Well done. ✌🏼

[@BoojiePanda]

The desk you found, I had that when I was a little girl. It was part of a canopy bed furniture set. I grew up in the 70's, so that dates the desk somewhat (and me, oops lol). Love how you made over your cute office space!

[@marycook1644]

I was thinking the exact same thing !! I always loved those sets !! But my mom is an antiquer and garage saler. So I never would have been able to have a set !! I am a bit jealous of you. Blessings from California. 🏰

[@TEN_acity]

This is such a beautifully cohesive and eclectic space! Honestly, I feel so inspired for my current house-hunting. The idea of turning a large closet into an office space is so neat, but yours is especially wonderful having a window and a uniquely shaped door frame. I am so obsessed with your revamp of that desk I could cry over it.

Drew, you have almost the exact same lamp that XO MaCenna has in her dining room in her Texas cottage! The shade is slightly different - hers has a bit of a pattern on it. Plus, I think you got the same print, only hers is larger! I think you guys must have shopped the same Etsy store. 😊 Great job on your makeover. Looks really good! ♥ So important to have a beautiful space where you spend most of your time. ♥ (Glad you painted over the stripes on the arch. They were kind of a bit much. 😉)

[@GoogleUser-wx8mw]

Wow! I wasn't sure about that chair at first, but then you did the shelves and it all came together. The little picture on the easel looks great there, as does the one above your desk. Very cool idea to spray the baskets (look great) and add a velvet textured piece of cloth to a frame without the glass. Wish I could pull a place together this well. Fab as always.

[@elisabethhopson5639]

[@lindakleiner5734]

Love seeing your enthusiasm and genuine happiness while doing and then when you finished.

[@KimberlyInSoCal310]

The refresh looks fantastic, Drew! Love so much the new elements you added, and agree that the walnut shelf liner helps balance the black desk. When I was a little girl I had that dresser and desk (and nightstands, bed, and tall dresser) which were family pieces my mom bought in the 1960s, so they are definitely vintage. They were made in the U.S. and were heavy, well-made, solid-wood pieces in the French Provincial/Queen Anne style. You got so lucky to find your matching desk on the street like that!

[@daneekaplan4284]

My husband brought some of his late grandparents' furniture to our marriage and the bedroom furniture looked a lot like your desk and dresser. We married in 1994 and the newest thing in mid 90's was sponge painting and white furniture. I painted some version of white and sponged on an off-white At the time it looked great but it didn't age well. I LOVE the black. It definitely updates the outdated design and makes it look cool.

[@katiemount8701]

Literally every single space you make over I love! You are so good at what you do, I love watching all your videos!

[@darlaburnett8666]

Love it Drew!! The treasure and all of that space is the vanity that you used as your desk and that turned out gorgeous I wish you would’ve done like a pic of your dresser and this desk side-by-side since you were modeling after it because they almost look like they’re meant to be together or maybe they are meant to be together now that you have time with him.
