In this makeover, I transform an old vanity to a pair of MCM nightstands, featuring custom made handles and legs, and a lot of Bondo repairs.
My initial plan for this makeover was to stain one of the drawers on each piece; however, I also really wanted to try out the shown leg design for a long time, and I decided that a stained drawer would add one too many design elements to the overall look.
Let me know what you think!

"This is a fork."
I'm glad you made sure to include that information - Ariel would've been VERY confused otherwise. Now mermaids everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief. 🙏
😅🤣😂 you`re cute
Time stamp: 3:21
Awesome!!

Why mermaids?
Those legs are incredible. They make these nightstands what they are…a piece of real design work.
Not only are you great at transforming furniture, you are also a great videographer/video editor. The amount of skill here is wild
100% this comment. I'm ASTOUNDED at the all-around amazing talent from start to finish, in all aspects.
Skill? This guy is a hack! He’s Martha Stewart’s wet dream!
I just said this on a separate video! I restore furniture too and have recorded them but I just don’t have the patience for editing. I just dumped them all onto a flash drive where I’m sure they will remain forever 😂
Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included ruclips.net/user/postUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.
I Love that you don't have annoying music on your channel. Thank you.
Very nice work. Great photography and editing, too. No annoying music to distract or detract from the video. I become totally engrossed. Thanks.
Those take me back to the 1950’s when they were really in style.
Why am I always smiling at the end of your projects? Because...they are amazing. The process and the finish, you young man are a master at refinishing.
The legs have set the style to it, plus the color choice very tasteful too! You are an artist before anything 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼👊🏼😜
VERY IMPRESSIVE...specially building the legs!!!! WOW they are absolutely perfect...I would take a lifetime if I had to make them🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...AND the handles...bravo!!!!
Absolutely love the legs and drawer pulls. Spot on styling.
Love the legs. You are very talented.
Andy…you always blow it out of the park. So detailed oriented, I could watch you work all day!
Ok, so this has to be my favourite project of all of yours so far. The production of your videos is absolutely superb and your craftsmanship is second to none. Hats off to you, Andy, once again. 👌👏
So glad I found your channel right at the very beginning. Watching your projects evolve over time has been amazing 🙌 Bright blessings as ever, from me on the Somerset coast 🇬🇧
❤️❤️
beautiful, love the legs and the handles
It's funny, because your video has just everything that makes me happy, everything! 🥰
this is a guy that reinvests in himself he has all the gear and when he mentions he got this or that piece from the roadside pickup that's brilliant it brings in another type of viewer great videos close to perfect
You are a magician! Beautiful. Please make something from the center of the original vanity. PS you are quite the gardener, too.
In the US Bondo has a product specifically for wood, I wish it was available here. Spectacular as usual.
Vanity, vanity,all is vanity. Not when Andy gets ahold of it. Beautifully designed and thoughtfully executed.
Not only are your woodworking skills and creativity off the charts, but your video editing is amazing as well! Enjoyed so much. Beautiful work!!!
I’m so obsessed with how you did the legs; they look spectacular!
A fantastic metamorphose (for Not saying Transformation as the comment bellow). And the most enviable is how you keep your hands delightfully manicured while making that work.
Somehow didn't see the legs coming and they took my breath away. STUNNING.
You're house must look like a museum with all those beautiful pieces you produce !
Yea! Give us a house tour!
The legs and handles are pieces of art! Amazing color! Awesome nightstands! Thanks so much for sharing
Unbelievable! You make miracles with a table belt sander! Your creations elevated this piece to an object of desire.
I am always thrilled to see you've posted a video. For such a young man, your pride in your craftsmanship is wonderful to see. It makes me proud for you at the same time. Great job on this transformation. I was sad to see so much painted but the wood grain accents you added really gave them a classic appeal. ❤
I'm impressed with your creativity and artistry, and I love that you save scraps of wood and use them in your pieces. I look forward to seeing your future projects.
I just love how the legs give the body of the nightstand more depth and shape. The blue paint and dark stain wood completed the puzzle to this project. I love your eye of imagination and creativity. It definitely shows that you plan beforehand and the results are out of this world.
🙏🏻❤️
Those legs are a thing of beauty. Beautifully hand crafted!
It's always amazing. But this time I just wanted to make a point to say so. Also, you are the ONLY place on RUclips that I want to hear/watch every SECOND
😍😍👍👍
The legs and handles you made are beautiful. They bring the nightstands to a whole new level literally and figuratively.
Felicidades muy bien.
As hecho 4 proyectos majestuosos
1 as rescatado una joya de la basura
2 as disfrutado haciendolo
3 nos as regalado un tutorial muy bueno.
4..y e disfrutado viendolo.
Muchas gracias y bendicipnes para ti.
Te lo dice una forofa de la restauracion..
These are seriously elegant pieces of well crafted furniture now. Such a great job again, Andy. I can tell you love doing this work, through the thinking you put into it and no doubt an enormous amount of patience. I wonder if this is a kind of meditation for you.
I am blown away by how this units turned out from what it used to be....your creativeness is beyond comprehension. Well done. The "green/blue" colour is beautiful. Well done👌👌👌👌👌💯🏅
Incredible ~ !
So much new life & attitude, I think they'll just "walk" out of any room they don't like ~
Great end pieces, but I'd love to see you do something like a writing desk with a fold down lid. My great-grandfather's desk is a converted church organ with felt and leather lining, and it's a spectacular piece of furniture I'm excited to have passed on to me one day. These furniture remodel videos are always so soothing to watch, or even just have them on in the background while I work. They may be power tool sounds, but for some reason, the way you film these videos very zen. Love it!
Вы -музыкант,поэт,художник! Детали поют в Ваших руках!💯💯💯 БРАВО!!!👏👏👏👏👏 ТВОРЧЕСКИХ УСПЕХОВ в реставрации,чего-бы то ни было!😊❤ Очень красиво,опрятно, МАСТЕРСКИ!!!❤
The videogrpahy, the transitions, the framing the editing AND the transformation of this piece are all amazing!!! Every video is art 👏👏
7:32 I really miss the rain!! it wasn't rain for over 5 months, where I live. Great work!!
sigh,,,, same here in London Ontario
It’s actually been super dry here in Mississauga as well, the rain in this video was a very rare occurrence for these past few months!
Great talent for restoring furniture but also for filming and editing ! 👍
honestly watching these videos is just incredibly helpful for people (such as myself) that like to take on furniture or home makeovers. I feel like im learning a lot just watching you work and how careful you are to conserve what can be preserved.
Graceful. Lovely. Thoughtfully designed. You are masterful.
What a masterpiece 😍.
The craftsmanship and the videography here is awesome! You need your own show on hgtv! Great job!
Growing up my parents had heavy, light-colored wood (oak?) nightstands. Years later my mother told me they had been part of a vanity that was taken apart. She didn't say why that was done but I think she did say she regretted doing it. Not sure. Yours, on the other hand was the absolute right thing to do and you did a beautiful job with the nightstands.
I laughed when a giant putty knife appeared to squish woodfiller all over a lovely room full of furniture - funny juxtaposition. Good job on the night stands, too...
Love it. I learn so much from your videos!
I'm astounded at your hand accuracy on that sander. So good 👍
I’m becoming addicted to your videos. The quality of your editing is awesome.
Wow, those are just STUNNING ! Congratulations on another beautiful restauration !
I love the mid-century modern take on this piece of furniture and the mix of paint and wooden elements are beautiful together. The teal paint is gorgeous and works really well with the wooden pieces. I would buy these bedside tables.
Perfect combo. I love MSM furniture!!
As always-amazing! Love the way you utilise scraps and upcycle. And those legs😍.
The whole time you were making the legs I couldn't picture what you intended to do. On the finished nightstands, they look as though they have always been there, and any other design would ruin the perch effect. Simple, clean, elegant, and beautiful. Thank you!
They look amazing 😻
Beautiful proportions, the legs are like a dream, I have never seen legs like those. Was it as hard as it looks to get all 8 to match? Guess you didn't have enough of that oak tabletop to do these top? Looks like maybe it would have been too thick anyway. Like how you matched the sheen of the wood with the paint as well. ❤❤❤
That’s what amazed me, the perfect symmetry; all eight legs matching! Dynamite!
Wow. Those are gorgeous. I particularly love the legs, and how they go up a little on the sides. Beautiful.
Just one thing to say: wow! What a transformation. The handles and legs are so beautiful.
I love your sense of humour... And your tastes. I think your work is looking great, hope you enjoy it as much as we do !
Thank you for the inspiration ideas, bisous
in love with your furniture (and you)
Wow! I couldn't see your vision at first, but those are beautiful! I love the legs you built on them, they stand out. Good job!!!
Young artisans such as yourself, make me feel good about the world.
All I can say is WOW! Stunning. 👏👏👏👏
I really admire you skill in designing and then building the legs and drawer handles. A 5 degree angle is simply beautiful.
Not only your wood skills are phenomenal, but also you video skills. Taking the moment to highlight some of your exteriors is really a balm for the soul... 🌹🌹 It must be a nice place to work. Peace and quiet.
You are really a true artist. Keep those videos rolling!
PD: You have a beautiful voice. 🥰🥰
Absolutely stunning. The legs are everything!
The legs are everything. 😍 Thank you for sharing such a stunning creation.
Every time I watch one of your videos my jaw just drops. Like I can't even- WOW you are so talented
I really love the fact that you work outside and show bits of nature. Your videos are the best!
So very professional. Love the hand-made oak handles and legs Andy!!
Andy -- not only are you talented and skilled at furniture rehab, you -- or someone in your circle -- are a mighty fine filmmaker! Kudos to you, sir!
🙏🏻❤️❤️
I hope that for all your creativity and time you put into these new creations you’re paid handsomely for this beautiful wrk. I’ve loved every piece you’ve done. 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love these. The legs and handled make them, and the wood stain complements the green nicely.
Another transformation from the master! As a little girl in the 50s I would watch my dad building with his many hand tools in the basement of our Philly row home. I get that same feeling watching you work with your hands. Love the beautiful wood touches; remind me of Danish modern.
i love wood working and refurbishing videos but i have to say the way you film these and the “simple” seeming edits are just so beautiful and immersive, it shows me the love not only for the furniture but the process and it keeps me coming back to your videos for more than a year now. it makes me so happy to think that people/you do these great things with their lives and let us all have a peak at it. thank you
I love your creative segments, the magazine in the frame and the paste, the flower and the sandpaper looking like a butterfly, so cool.
Love your philosophy and presentation. I feel I’m watching an artist work. Such respect for reuse. Even toe socks. 😊
Wow, simply beautiful! The wood legs and handles cut and sanded to perfection are exquisite. The teal I was unsure about at 1st, I love teal btw, but with the wood accents really stands out as a special piece of furniture. I would decorate a room around these stands, love them!
Второе рождение мебели!Как здорово,что вы используете старые столешницы для новых изделий,ножки и ручки просто великолепны своей самобытностью и древесной текстурой.
The sock method to put the stain on. Genius! I will definitely be using that in future!
Hi Andy, love your editing. Very nice legs and handles
Perfect! What a craftsman you are. Thank you for sharing.
Stunning work as always, love how clean and yet somehow retro these look.
I am just in awe of both your woodworking skills and your videography skills. Truly amazing!
I jump as soon as I see you have a new video! You are such a master craftsman, you are amazing! I love watching your videos, you take something that most people would trash and you make it beautiful and one of a kind. Thanks so much for sharing your vision and your talent with all of us. Take care, stay safe.
Jeez these are stunning. The legs, wow, so creative.
The end product is stunning! Beautifully done.
VERY WELL done!🤩🤩👏👏
Oh WOW!! You are the true magician, those night tables are insanely gorgeous 10/10
Would love to see the middle bit turn into an entryway table :) lovely video and transformation
Exceptional craftsmanship and I love the colour
The middle piece would make a perfect matching complimentary table.
Stunning! I love that you reused wood from another furniture piece to make the legs and handles. I inherited an old vanity that was my grandmother's. This is a great idea for that piece since I don't have need for a vanity, but I do need nightstands.
You are amazing and so professional. Always looking out for your videos!
What a grand job you did...👏👏👏👏
you've been seriously creative with this one, and the outcome is awesome!
WOW, WOW, WOW !!! Theses are absolutely beautiful and you did an awesome job !!!
Beautyful!!! The legs and handles are stunning.
Somehow I am always relaxed and calm after watching your videos....another skill of yours😉👍
The shape of the legs are incredible! I absolutely love it. Great job as always
00:58 best "framing" I've seen in a while. Thanks for showing you methods. Nice result!
wow did not expect such a result!! it's stunning! the colours, the legs are so elegant!! and i love the visuals, great job!!
