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’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.
  • @pretty.odd.
    The way my mouth dropped when you showed up on camera and started talking to us omg.
  • @vintagelvr4381
    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.
  • "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! ♥🐶🐶
  • @lynnjasen9727
    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. 🇨🇦💕
  • @GataIsabel
    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.
  • @c.treuil4092
    From a $20 piece of furniture, to a $1000 piece of furniture! BRAVO!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💖💋💖
  • @doudou53d44
    Your videos are so original without useless music, this dresser is a beauty ! I love everything about it !
  • 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.
  • @marthab1875
    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.
  • @zormier2002
    Oh I understand. You are NOT “just” a furniture refinished, you are an ARTIST, a craftsman. ❤
  • @sheridawnhayden
    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…
  • @lollygee172
    Another masterpiece! Both the vanity and the filmmaking! Thank you Andy for sharing your brilliance (and humor)❤❤❤
  • @user-elliseuji
    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!
  • 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!
  • @carguy4658
    Excellent Restoration. Anytime natural wood is re-exposed and not repainted, is a good thing to see.
  • @TuckerSP2011
    Great job! I like the useful new rooftop doors, makes a very functional space there. Cute puppies! 😻
