Your design style is not only highly artistic but uniquely masculine. I appreciate that spin. A lot of homes with vintage items can lean feminine/romantic (or eclectic/collector/neutral) so it's interesting to see an interior with an undercurrent of masculine energy.
this is so interesting. i've noticed that too but hadn't put words to it. i like this specific representation of masculine interiors. i've recently followed a couple other youtube channels b/c i want to see something different in the home decor space.
Very interesting perspective Laura! And I totally see what you mean! So many people that are creating vintage spaces really lean into the feminine… which is cool too. But I’m super inspired by vintage barber shops, wood shops, and lounges that carry that masculine edge
This is one of the channels that I always get very excited about every thime a new video is posted. There is more creativtiy and artistry in your work than on any other channel in this genre on RUclips. Even when I am not sure where you are going in your design, it is always unbelievebly impressive when you get to the end of the pieces that you are working on. The worktable is super and the fireplace is going to be gorgeous when you complete it. I love this channel.
The work table is gorgeous, and such a clever solution with the bed posts, and I absolutely LOVE that you're keeping the imperfect, raw look for the fireplace! I think things that are a little bit broken, aged, or have a difficult history add so much character to a space, and the fireplace really does that.
I really love how you follow your gut with things like the fireplace mantle. You didn't feel locked in just because you'd asked your boyfriend's opinion or even by a poll you placed online. When you were actually working on the project and felt drawn toward another direction you hadn't considered before, you went with it. Can't tell you how many projects of mine I've gone into with a very specific plan, only to end up detouring partway through when I saw a better path. The result is almost always so much better than what I'd aimed for at the beginning. Following your creative spirit is everything!
Yeah the balance of taking in feedback and going with my gut is a huge learning curve for me lately. I’ve spent so much of my life trusting my own instincts and not caring what anybody else thinks… and that’s served me well. But I don’t always know the right thing… and I’m human… and I want my boyfriend, my family, and my viewers to love my space too! So it’s definitely a balance
Love how much your parents help out! What wonderful memories you are creating! Also keep up the amazing work so exciting to see everything come together! ❤
All my curtains are dyed canvas drop cloths. Glad to see someone else using them too! It's the most fabric you get for the best price- I wanted to sew up my own fabric curtains but oy! the amount of fabric needed was way out of my price range. 100% cotton drop cloth dyes up great with an $8 bottle of Rit (and also looks great undyed). I have them just barely "kissing" the floor but I think it would look better in your space just to the sill. I love the raw wood look of the fireplace. Can't wait to see the room finished!
I agree with the curtains only going to the sill, mostly because I think it just looks better but also because I know if I were sitting and working there my feet/legs would end up getting tangled in the curtain. And most likely my little dog would try and sleep in it while I was working there 😆
18:23 I am so glad that you are leaving the wood of the mantel more raw! As you were showing the process of sanding and removing paint, I was so struck by the beauty of the wood as it is, and I’m happy to think of it staying close to that look!
@@REISSUED 😊👍 if I lived down there, I'd invite myself over to spitball creativity! Also to meet Queenie and tour your beautiful house. Ps. Think of all the people you'll inspire to be creative with headboards and their legs!(?) 😁
This is my very favorite room that you are renovating! I am also an artist with the very good fortune to have a studio to work in. I absolutely love your aesthetic. You have the two most important elements in place - plenty of work surfaces and plenty of storage. It is all looking beautiful. As for the curtains, I am suggesting something inside the window frame. Perhaps some kind of Roman shade. I can't wait to see the final reveal and more videos of you creating your fantastic works of art! ❤ from Prescott, AZ
This is your home, but THANK YOU for preserving the raw wood! It is gorgeous! Maybe some art with touches of green above the fireplace? Love the countertop extension over the table & filing cabinets. You have a heart of an artist.
Thank you for taking us through your thought process from inception to completion! I enjoyed a hearty cackle when your horrified reaction to the price tags on those legs was replaced by the triumphant grin of a creative and inveterate dumpster diver/thrifter. Sadly, my epic fist pump went unwitnessed. I was really hoping you wouldn't darken the fireplace, and you didn't let me down! Second fist pump in half an hour, which has to be some kind of record for me. The new desk looks great, and the drop cloth curtain is a perfect choice. Personally I'd keep the drape within the confines of the window frame. Terrific episode, Andrew! Loved every second of it!
Leaving it natural was a great choice! Making me thing I want to strip my fireplace down to the wood too! I’ve used the Howard Feed N Wax on wood finishes and I highly recommend it! Just makes the wood pop!
Fun video! Great call fireplace it's GEORGOUS😲! Fantastic deal on the tile. Love the chunky turned legs for $ .0 !! This weird coincidence blew my mind. My own dad had done a similar project for me 10 years ago. He converted a large butcherblock turned leg kitchen table into a counter height Art room island for me! He made some turned wood extensions and then added them too the turned legs to make them longer/taller, I love it.
Your creativity is awesome. I love the free legs. I think your mantle is beautiful raw and your art above it is a perfect match. I think your curtain should hang inside your window. It’s all unique and stunning.
I love that you were able to save at least the footboard of that so beautiful (imo) bed frame. This might be my favorite of all your projects thus far. Good job!
Brilliant re-use of the the bedposts, & I was hoping you'd recognize the honesty of the fireplace's raw wood look. Are dropcloths the best thing since chocolate & peanut butter? Yes! I have a wall of 10-foot windows in my house & I'd have spent a fortune getting custom draperies & the sun (despite double-pane glass) would have eaten any normal fabric alive. They have hung for 7 years, look like expensive linen fabric, are indestructible, & I put them in my very window-ed living room, too. Love the room.
Trim the curtain to fit the window. I think the green color mentioned would look incredible on the floor, and would help ground the space as they eye tends to go up and out due to the tall ceilings. The space feels like it needs plants, or a few soft touches like larger pillows or an exotic printed bean bag.
Wow! Genius using the bed columns! The fireplace is spot on even tho I adore green lol something about that amazing couch and wonderful tripod lamp creation that adds glass! Your finish decor is a welcoming gesture for anyone to enter and turn on their creative juices! ❤❤❤ 💯
The universe delivered on your table legs! Brilliant!! I am so impressed not only with the unique aesthetic of your home but its singular functionality which suits your needs. It’s so perfect for you. I’m watching how hands on your parents are with this process and how one day you’ll look at the features of your home and remember this time together and how much they were involved in the creation of this reno. It’s priceless in so many ways. What a gem.
WHAT A SCORE on the fireplace tiles...love em. Using the bedposts as table legs is just another example of your witchcraft, Andrew, and I am here for it. The curtain: use a tie-back to create a bit of a swag witchcraft will enhance the bit of softness you wanted for that area and echo the curves in the legs.
I’m so glad you went with your gut on the fire. It’s beautiful and, I think, my favourite part of the room. I really enjoy watching you explain your thought processes.
I love how you highlighted the height in the room with that tall ladder, the large picture frame that goes up high and the desk. Such a wonderful space to create in.
You're on a roll! Fun to watch you trouble shoot and parents working alongside you. This episode highlighted your dad's mad carpentry skills. Watching him measure, mark and cut materials so confidently reminded me of my late father. Thanks for sharing. Layers of unbleached cheesecloth within the window frame would add some soft curves to all the linear in the room. Or swag the dropcloth up and to one side.
Love the table by the window, maybe have the curtain length just below the window sill. Fireplace looks great so far, can’t wait for the reveal. Your grandfathers tripod turned into a lamp is amazing, I enjoy pieces like that
oh Andrew, leave it to you to make anything poetic and get me teary eyed. (re: the fireplace). i love the drop cloth curtain and the desk, so beautiful in its utility and functionality. i say hem the curtains just above the floor so you don't accidentally catch them on anything while you're working. PS- the transition from panning up on the fireplace to panning down on the curtain/desk was *chef's kiss*
Haha I’m so glad you enjoyed that transition! I was proud of that one 😂 And yeah the natural wood felt poetic and emotional for me too… so I’m glad that was conveyed! I love your comments! ❤️
You made the right decision on your fireplace finish. It looks really nice with the wax. I love the curtain but it needs to be hemmed at the sill. Your hair looks particularly gorgeous this episode!
The fireplace is exquisite! The tile is a wonderful choice. I applaud your decision to keep the mantel natural. While it may not be perfect, the character of the wood deserves to shine. The work table is a true trash-to-treasure moment and you made it blend in your eclectic studio space.
I am so impressed with you realizing you could use that bed frame for the legs. Bravo. I like the bare wood on the fireplace, good choice. You have such wonderful and talented parents.
aw, sweet! I love the engineering aspect of that window-front work counter, plus cutting out the window moulding to fit the countertop! Very nice all 'round!
The fireplace looks fabulous! You def made the right call on leaving the wood raw, it fits the vibe so well. The use of the headboard legs for the work space was inspired and really helped soften the room. I vote you stick with the drop cloth curtain but hem to fit inside the window. Big shout out to Dad for the clean cuts on the fireplace tile, looks beautiful!
I really look forward to your vlogs Andrew. You are creating such a unique home full of your own personality. Filling your home with things you love and have created is so much more interesting to watch than someone who redecorates every 6 months to be on trend. Fill your home with things you love and it will never go out of fashion.
*Table Legs, Mantle, Window Dressing* . I have neither the tools or carpentry skill set to create what you and Pops created, but it's Gosh Darn Great Inspo! I can definitely envision the mantle in an olive green. That was a lot of work to strip it back and I appreciate and applaud your choice to keep it natural. For the window, I would go with an inside mount roman shade, bide your time for that "perfect" fabric. The drop cloth serves it's function, trim it to the bottom of the sill.
Hi Andrew! I love how the fireplace is looking! You have such a great imagination, I love to see everything coming together. Those legs you and your parents made for the table is perfect! You have a good eye to make something totally different out of something else! Love the curtains too! Your parents are great! Thanks for sharing! House is looking good!❤
Absolutely brilliant! The table is gorgeous. I didn’t vote on your instagram pole about the fireplace because I couldn’t choose. I think leaving it the raw wood is the perfect decision. I love the dropcloth as a curtain for that space.
Andrew, great decision on simply waxing the fireplace surround, it looks fantastic. I think you would be happier with the curtain on the window if you keep it to sill length. Too long and it will be a dust and debris collector. Great job as always.
Love the progress ❤. My suggestion for the curtain is to fit it to the window sill. Since it is inset and behind the counter it makes sense. It'll make it much easier to sweep / keep clean since that amazing counter doesn't move. Great job as always!
I love your decision for leaving the mantel natural with dark wax. Everything is really coming together. I love your creativity and leaning in to what you love and do best!
Hey Andrew. The countertop looks like it was always meant to be there, love the legs though little bit chunk. For curtains how about some kind of roll up shades (maybe you could DIY them - Lone fox channel) or Café Curtains (like Macenna has in her home). Love the fireplace and what you did with it! Cannot wait for the full reveal including the floors. Appreciate how you designed the space for functionality and budget as well not just aesthetics 💜
Love what you did in the Studio, the combination of material, color and accessoires and make it a complete ! What you did with fireplace is the best choice by waxing and keep the place original. I am a bit jealous on your creativity but you are getting all the credit !!!!
I really love your vision with all of the pieces shown here. I am so glad you stick to your gut feeling of how the materials all work together. As for the curtain length, it looks great as is and putting anymore effort isn't a fair trade in my book. ( And high water curtains just don't swag nice for me) But as always, you do as you feel finishes the window best. Studio space coming along brilliantly!😻
Good choice with the fireplace finish! There are enough natural wood items in the space for them to play off each other really nicely. The industrial finish works well, too. You probably already know this, but leave lots of fabric on the drop-cloth window cover hem to give it weight and help it hang well. Living with it unhemmed for a while will help you decide what length to finish it.
You really did well with the dumpster find! Love how you share your thought process, it really translates right through. Having a “moment of clarity” makes everything feel just right. Creating this unique and beautiful space is your natural talent. Looking forward to the next video.
Your creativity amazes me!😊keep the curtain inside the casing all the way down. I love the way the studio looks like it has always been there, eclectic but perfect for the studio work space. Well done😊
Great job. The counter is a great idea. For the window treatment, I’m really liking the drop cloth, seems appropriate. I would definitely keep the curtain contained in the window. Puddled drapes are a mess from a maintenance point of view and always look sloppy to me. My two cents. Have a great week!
While I am not personally attracted to the spool/bobbin spindle leg trend, it certainly works in your application. I would custom fit the curtain to fit inside the window frame (in this instance) to avoid any possible interference with air flow from the HVAC floor register. I may have mentioned this before, but you have a great touch when it comes to your fireplace surround/mantle revisions. Cheers Andrew.
As you were sanding and getting rid of bits of paint off the fireplace, I was hoping you'd leave it natural, and to my surprise you did! I love the way it looks, the juxtaposition between the natural wood and modern tile is chef's kiss. The workspace table turned out awesome as well! I have a large 8ft workspace in my studio we made from a cheap craigslist dresser, laminate top and 2x4 legs we cut to shape. The dresser half holds supplies and the other half is open for seating. Nothing better than having a large workspace to spread out in! Also, I have salvaged spindle/spool legs from a old bed sitting in my trunk of my car, waiting to reincarnated into something new 😉 Love seeing the process, great episode!
Love that fireplace in the natural wood and great idea to enhance the features with the darker wax. That bobbin desk is fabulous. I had no idea Alexandra had spent that much dosh on the legs. Her island did look amazing though. I bet you love working at your new desk.
Your design style is not only highly artistic but uniquely masculine. I appreciate that spin. A lot of homes with vintage items can lean feminine/romantic (or eclectic/collector/neutral) so it's interesting to see an interior with an undercurrent of masculine energy.

Your imagination in using otherwise junk furniture to get a high end one of a kind piece, is the reason I love your volgs. Beautiful ❤

The spool legs are genius .....love the fireplace natural and raw and love the floor lamp !!!! Good job!!!

Thanks Katie! I think you’re right about the curtain
I was thinking natural when you first asked. I love how wax breathes life back into the wood while displaying the age and story
Exactly! 🙌🏻
SO GOOD!!! I love hearing about the rationale behind your choices.
Love the update and genius creativity on the desk legs!❤

I love your decision for leaving the mantel natural with dark wax. Everything is really coming together. I love your creativity and leaning in to what you love and do best!
Thanks Amber! ❤️
Fantastic job everyone!!
L-O-V-E your decision with the mantle. I also love how warm it feels next to a super elegant geometric tile.
Congrats! The room looks really good and it will be a creative haven for you!🎉
The mantle is gorgeous! I’m glad you left the wood in its most beautiful state. I hope to see more of your paintings, they look amazing ❤️
I love how you think out of the box!
I vote for trimming the curtain to the windowsill height. That will prevent it from ever inadvertently blocking the heating register.
Totally 👍🏻
Stunning work!
Loving it can't wait for the final result!❤❤❤
Hey Andrew. The countertop looks like it was always meant to be there, love the legs though little bit chunk. For curtains how about some kind of roll up shades (maybe you could DIY them - Lone fox channel) or Café Curtains (like Macenna has in her home). Love the fireplace and what you did with it!
Cannot wait for the full reveal including the floors.
Appreciate how you designed the space for functionality and budget as well not just aesthetics 💜
Love what you did in the Studio, the combination of material, color and accessoires and make it a complete ! What you did with fireplace is the best choice by waxing and keep the place original. I am a bit jealous on your creativity but you are getting all the credit !!!!
I really love your vision with all of the pieces shown here. I am so glad you stick to your gut feeling of how the materials all work together. As for the curtain length, it looks great as is and putting anymore effort isn't a fair trade in my book. ( And high water curtains just don't swag nice for me) But as always, you do as you feel finishes the window best. Studio space coming along brilliantly!😻
Good choice with the fireplace finish! There are enough natural wood items in the space for them to play off each other really nicely. The industrial finish works well, too. You probably already know this, but leave lots of fabric on the drop-cloth window cover hem to give it weight and help it hang well. Living with it unhemmed for a while will help you decide what length to finish it.
Great tip!
You really did well with the dumpster find! Love how you share your thought process, it really translates right through. Having a “moment of clarity” makes everything feel just right.
Creating this unique and beautiful space is your natural talent. Looking forward to the next video.
Your creativity amazes me!😊keep the curtain inside the casing all the way down. I love the way the studio looks like it has always been there, eclectic but perfect for the studio work space. Well done😊
True
Great job. The counter is a great idea. For the window treatment, I’m really liking the drop cloth, seems appropriate. I would definitely keep the curtain contained in the window. Puddled drapes are a mess from a maintenance point of view and always look sloppy to me. My two cents. Have a great week!
You already know it: ❤!
😊
Curtain within the window imo.
While I am not personally attracted to the spool/bobbin spindle leg trend, it certainly works in your application. I would custom fit the curtain to fit inside the window frame (in this instance) to avoid any possible interference with air flow from the HVAC floor register. I may have mentioned this before, but you have a great touch when it comes to your fireplace surround/mantle revisions. Cheers Andrew.
Wow. Just love this space. The fireplace looks great, you were right to wax and the tiles look beautiful. Big thumbs up 👍 from me
this space is just so endlessly cool with every update. great work Andrew!
What a dream come true space.
As you were sanding and getting rid of bits of paint off the fireplace, I was hoping you'd leave it natural, and to my surprise you did! I love the way it looks, the juxtaposition between the natural wood and modern tile is chef's kiss. The workspace table turned out awesome as well! I have a large 8ft workspace in my studio we made from a cheap craigslist dresser, laminate top and 2x4 legs we cut to shape. The dresser half holds supplies and the other half is open for seating. Nothing better than having a large workspace to spread out in!
Also, I have salvaged spindle/spool legs from a old bed sitting in my trunk of my car, waiting to reincarnated into something new 😉 Love seeing the process, great episode!
Your workspace sounds amazing!
I’m sooooo in love with everything about that workstation table! So cleverly done.
The curtain looks wonderful at the length it is now, and serves as a backdrop for your curvy desk legs!
I like the drop cloth curtains long like they are. Gives artist atelier vibes
Love that fireplace in the natural wood and great idea to enhance the features with the darker wax. That bobbin desk is fabulous. I had no idea Alexandra had spent that much dosh on the legs. Her island did look amazing though. I bet you love working at your new desk.
