I’ve always dreamed of finding a unique piece of furniture someone was throwing away and giving it a Lone Fox makeover. When I came across this vanity, I knew it was fate and had the perfect vision for it! What did you think of the end result? Comment below!

Thanks so much for watching and I hope you enjoyed. Leave any future video ideas you would like to see in the comments below and don't forget to subscribe!
Ahhh I hope you love this makeover! I loved the original piece however the condition and overall style of the piece just didn't match the new aesthetic for my parents home! However the transformed version is the perfect base for a future bathroom makeover!
Hi Drew, I love this vanity, it is so gorgeous!!!
did you sand it all over or just went straight with the primer and paint?
What are you going to do with it now that your parents don't want it? Sell it?
Love love love ❤️❤️❤️
GORGEOUS! Love vintage vogue ! 🤩
Love it 👌❤❤❤💞💞
That vanity was a major find. It's beyond gorgeous.
Obsessed
So nice 😍😍😍
Absolutely! It's shocking that someone threw this out. In the end it’s even more beautiful than I could have imagined.
THIS IS THE DREAM!! People make fun of me for picking stuff up off the road but when you find treasure like this!! Ugh worth it!!!
So worth it!
Same
I wish people left stuff in the side of the road where I live 😔😔
These people must not be creative. Creative people thrift and yard sale hop!
I love buying used wood furniture because if it's spent a few years in someone else's house and hasn't fallen apart yet then you know it's good quality
love the photoshop ending!! turned out so good. we need to know how much you could sell that for though 👀
so you dont listen ?
The original vanity owner watching this 👁👄👁
Did he just pick it up from the street?
HA, I thought similar! LOL 😂
I thought the same 🤣🤣🤣
It really is true that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure ☺️🦋✨🌟
sooo true!!
When I found you, it was all pretty better 💕💎
What a stunning way to breathe new life in a timeless piece! I love the little ornate details that were already there, and the green color totally updates it for today 😍
Who else thought of the SorryGirls when Kelsey made a whole ass sink and the process of it and Drew found this for free🤧😂
Edit: holy shit I never got hundreds of likes before😊
I knooooooow
I only sub to him now because whats the point of seeing the same things twice haha
hers was way better tho
@@peytonclemmer7095 truee but they are too impressed with doing the bare minimum. So ya her vanity is cuter but its like did we need this explained and sold to us for 20 minutes? Lol I like them as people tho. They shop at the value village I used to I was sick of being discriminated against and trans people too so I would have said hi at some point but the store is so gross. Management wise and bug wise lol
bts and sorrygirls together aaaaaa finally 😫
The original owner, if he/she watches this ever, will be so mad on their own selves. LOL.
Maybe they just didn’t need it anymore and hoped someone else could enjoy it! ❤️
They’re probably wealthy as f*** and don’t care about trying to sell it
Was just thinking this
@@bebenut123 Yeah I personally love the way it looks in video, but I would not like it in my own home. Personal preference, you know
Probably not, because this way someone else could enjoy that they don't needed anymore.
You did the right thing with the wood speckling! Just a tip for the future: also add it to the sides a bit to make it cleaner looking and you should be able to use a spatula/putty knife/whatever you call it in English to sort of pre-form the lines. If it feels to wet, let it sit for a little bit until it starts to firm up a bit. It'll make the sanding process much easier. Two painting tips: 1. don't be afraid to really go into the caps and details with the paint and the brush. It'll help sort of fill them and in the end it'll look smoother and newer in the end. 2. I can't really see whether you're doing it or not, since you're not showing it, but always make sure you'll finish painting in the same direction. It's a bit harder to explain in writing, but don't leave weirdly directed strokes-they'll show up after drying. Trust me, I used to work as a restorator and as much as I tried in the beginning, when I had just started on that career path, to fix it, the weird strokes still stayed and I didn't know any better. But, if you are doing it-good job! Maybe there's someone else out there who needs to hear that tip. A lot of people don't know it, surprisingly...
Thanks so much for the tips!
Would a polyurethane top coat mask the streaks. I’m planning on painting a piece at home
Would adding a bit of floetrol to it help even out the brushstrokes?
Another tip I use to prevent brush stokes is to go down a brush size and use the paint sparingly. It’s not a time saving tip. A big brush and a lot of wet paint getting dragged around is going to leave strokes no matter what you put on top of it.
Lone Fox To prevent streaks you can always use Floetrol! I’ve heard great things about it!
OMG SO GOOD. Gorg paint color selection btw!
When you are brushing with your electric toothbrush DO NOT SCRUB BACK AND FORTH! The back and forth motion will remove enamel off your teeth. Just place the brush on each tooth surface individually without rubbing. You are young and won’t see the damage until you are older.
Love the vanity, you lucky dog for finding it on the side of the road. You did a great job changing and improving it! Love it.
Omg, you're so lucky that you found that! Don't you just love when people want new and modern so we get to pick their vintage? Lol
Yessss!!
Yes!! Looking back over the years of my and all my friends' broke home decorating, I feel like we all went towards vintage and antique styles because that's what was in thrift stores and Craigslist. I can't help but wonder if that's exactly how vintage trends always come back into fashion
I need friends that will help me pickup random 200lbs vanities off the road 😔
RIGHT!
do u know who is he?
That's a problem with me! See something nice in a store, or side of the road, and can't find anyone at the time, when I go back " it's gone".
If I could choose one superpower, it'd be super strength. JUST so I can freely pick up furniture whenever I want, with NO limitations. 😂
WORD!!!!! I tried to score a cutting table for sewing and my sister was like “you’re on your own, pal” *insert surprised Pikachu face*
Drew what a difference! This Vanity is a gem, your parents will absolutely love it. It’s stunning!!!
for real! this man has the most perfect combo voice/tone/diction/flow/camera presence on the whole yt!!
This video is exactly as the saying goes "what is someone's junk is someone else's treasure" love it!!
Yessss
Drew painting in his white converse makes me anxious... I can’t paint without getting covered.
This project, as with all his projects, is beautiful ❤️
OMG! 🥰 That is the vanity I want for my bathroom!!! 😍 I absolutely ❤ this old dressers! Excellent work keeping it out of the landfill!!! 😘
A touch of grey makes almost any colour more sophisticated ... that dusky olive/avocado really calmed the dated ornamentation of the vanity and nicely complimented the peach tones in the granite. The quality of the paint is amazing.
Love this! For the future, make a silicone mold of the good part of the wood. Then add wood putty to the mold, let dry, then use Gorilla wood glue to the area of the missing molding! Also, you need to buy a $20 dolly or make one in case you find another great piece. Then you can roll it home!
sylvia seri Harbor Freight!
You should totally print out a photo and put it in the place where you found the vanity ... who knows, maybe the previous owners see it, they would probably love to see that someone has given it new life and a new home!
That's a nice idea x
That would be like bragging his talent but... 👀 💗I’m OK with that🤭😂 💕
am i the only one that absolutely LOVES the overnight cute moon sun transition??? OBSESSED
It seems like I need to go out driving to find my next diy because this makeover was an absolute dream!!
Looks like something I'd see in a chic Parisian apartment!
I love how he explains each and every detail in his voiceovers 💕
I scrolled and I saw the thumbnail and literally gasped and clicked in a millisecond. Looks so good!!!
I love that you gave it to your parents! That is so wholesome 😇
What a find love it! It’s crazy people out here throwing away amazing pieces all well there junk our treasure
I know right!?
It was hopefully left there for curbside shoppers...in defense of the original owners who were thoughtful of the possibility that it could be given a new life.
Lets try to be reasonable here for a second 😂🙈
It's not crazy at all to want to get rid of this item. If you've worked hard all your life and want to treat yourself with a modern bathroom, what is "crazy" about giving this it item away to somebody who actually needs and treasures it? It's obvious that it has been in good use over many many years, so they probably wanted a new start 😊
This man needs a Netflix show, he’s so creative!
That first stroke of primer was seriously so satisfying to watch. I love the way it turned out overall. It’s definitely my aesthetic too.
I'm sure some people will cry about painting over the old cabinet, but wow, amazing how a coat of well-chosen paint can modern-up an old, gawdy sink cabinet!
CAN’T BELIEVE YOU FOUND MY VANITY !!!😭 So so happy you decided to take it!!! Loved the transformation so much. ( p.s. it is from 1913) my grandmother had it !!)
It is stunning, even before the makeover.
If you don't mind me asking, why did you decide to dump it ? Thank you and to your grandma for her impeccable taste.
Wow. That's so incredible.
They had MDF in 1913?
@@sheila3936 Lol, yeah. I came here to say that there's no way this comment is real. This vanity isn't any earlier than 2000, if you look at the way they made the drawer slides.
Love the green color, perfect for the vintage look of the vanity 👌
WOW! Wow, wow, WOW. It's wonderful after your design gifts went into it. I wouldn't have imagined modern looking knobs or faucets, but they look so great. Exactly right- and fresh. I learn lots from your videos. Thank you, Andrew, you're the best!
I loathed that piece until the end--what you did with that gaudy thing is nothing short of a miracle! Thank you for sharing the process!
He just a word of advice from a dental assistant don’t use electric toothbrush like a regular toothbrush that type of toothbrush has sonic vibrations which you should just be gliding the tooth brush across your teeth and it will do all the job for you, if you use it like a regular toothbrush it could possibly cause too much abrasion on your teeth and gums😁
I was just about to write this comment. 😅 It hurt my eyes watching him brush his theeths like this with the electric toothbrush
Like they say, one man’s trash and another man’s treasure! Drew, you totally reformed the sink and it looks so good now! Love it!
Yess! TY!!!!
Lone Fox omg! Thank you for replying 😊
Wow!!! It looks beautiful! I LOVE that you rescued it, and gave it a new life!
The vanity is gorgeous!!! You did a fabulous job. I love the clean & simple hardware - it keeps the focus on the ornate vanity and doesn’t distract from it like the original hardware. Your color choice was perfect. Chapeau
I love this but I think it would be gorgeous if you had kept the accents gold, but an updated burnished gold.
Plot twist: this was a curbside pick up marketplace sale 😂😂
Lol imagine
😂🤣
I can’t believe how gorgeous this turned out-I hope the people who gave it away are watching this and weeping! We retired to Kingman, AZ in January and love it!
I love how it turned out! Drew is so talented and so thoughtful to thinking a lot of his parents and give them the nice DIYs! ❤❤
Lone fox, changing the world ... one furniture at a time 💚
THIS IS AMAZING! I love how you see potential in everything and turn them into gorgeous pieces!! :)
Wow! Stunning! I work at a paint store, so this is right up my alley! Paint can solve a lot of problems & dislikes to LOVE! Great job!!! Benjamin Moore & Drew rock the paints! 👍👍👍👍👍✌️❤️
Your parents are so lucky!!! They get such GORGEOUS furniture & diy's!!
Who else loves makeovers?
Oh wow! Seeing the finished version, I can't even remember how it looked when you first found it. Very well done! And I love your choice of color!
What you guys did with this vanity is amazing!!.Only Lone Fox would take a beaten up old 300 pound vanity off the road that probably has ticks/flees and clean it all up for a brand new gorgeous diy project. I can also see it being painted entirely white or ivory and just getting some pretty light gold hardware to match.
wow! it was dying on the roadside and you SAVED it and gave it a glam over!~ lovely
I LOVE that paint color. And I'm obsessed with the faucets! I wasn't too sure about those knobs at first, but it all comes together and they go so well with the faucets. Initially I thought the top counter was gross, but I love it in the end! Great job!
Thanks so much!
I literally had every one of these thoughts as well and in the end i LOVED it
You are amazing, God bless the work of your hands.
Thank you so much 😀
So love there-transformation & re-purposing of this amazing piece
I did this exact thing the other day. Sitting by my dumpster in my condo unit was a vintage white dresser. Prior to that, I had been soul searching for a vintage dresser on offer up for my art room, so I could store my fabric in it. I took the dresser and gave it a new coat of white paint and put the dresser in my closet. I love it! I am always finding stuff like that and revamping it. Finding cute free stuff is the best. :)
Love it!!!
I LOVE this! It came out so pretty. I would consider replacing the countertop in the future with something like a white marble
Yesss!
I wonder if maybe you could use some stone or tile paint and create your own faux white marble on top of the existing stone. 🤷♀️
It is really cool and I like the color🙂
Drew, you would love it in NYC. You find these things on the sidewalk like EVERYDAY.
Drew, you don’t blather on...you have real conversations with us and I love it! Such a stunning piece! Your parents are so lucky!
Omg this is amazing!!!
TY :)
The people who threw the vanity out watching this back: 👁 👄👁
We all want a tranformation video from Drew! 😍❤
I’m dead! I love this transformation! You might be transforming these furnitures, but you are also transforming our lives.
I get stuff from the side of the road sometimes too!! 😀
:)))
Gotta start driving through rich neighborhoods now just too see if anyone is getting rid of their so called “junk”.
I used to do this, not even joking look up what your towns 'big Garbage' day is and you will score big time
I'm so glad you picked the vanity up to redo it! Turned out great!!! I Love the colours
My GOD what a SCORE!!! I curb shop all the time, so I really love this episode!! Unbelievable transformation!! 🙌❤️ You’re incredibly talented, you have such a good eye and your positive energy is so fun!! 👍😁
Drew when I tell you I’ve been WAITING since seeing this on your Instagram for the first time I mean I’ve been W A I T I N G
Yay!!! Enjoy :)
I remember when I lived in Germany it was such a culture shock for me to see people just putting their stuff on the sidewalk for other people for free.. In South Africa nothing is free, we would rather sell everything so that there is money for food and necessities or replacements of what was sold.
M 560 here in japan as well. if its a bigger piece you pay a lot to have them removed from the garbage storage so usually people who dont want to pay would wait when no one is looking and then find a space to dump them (usually near the garbage storage hoping it will get taken away)
Charné first thing I thought when I saw this was NEVER EVER in SA. I think we don't have a culture of dumping furniture and appliances. If it's broken let it be fixed, if it's old and just not vibing we give it to someone who needs it or Sell it. I might relocate just to pick up things in this neighborhood cause wow !!!
@@bibi2440 very true! Our parents would probably whoop our asses if they saw us dumping valuable stuff 😂
Charné Van der Merwe but is it really dumping it if youre putting it out for someone else to take? in my experience the stuff thats still usable almost always finds a new owner in a few hours/days and isnt it nice if someone who needs it can get it for free? my roommates and i got some pretty okay stuff this way, we wouldnt have had the money to pay for at the time.
Love love love the makeover! Gorgeous! And can i just say how much i love your personality Drew. Always happy and enthusiastic. Adding some much needed joy during these unsettling times.
What a beautiful piece - LOVE that green color. SCORE that is was free and super great that it can be used in your parents home, winner winner...
This stone countertop is travertine! Some travertine even comes with fossils in it! Great work!
The fact that he’s renovating this in James Charles garage is iconic
Is he? A lot of people are named James
Angela he is friends with James Charles so the likelihood is quite high
@@-Annn- Also Drew mention in the video that his friend is moving.. James Charles just moved into a brand new house sis
You have the gift!!!! LOVE what you did. So happy it will stay in the family so you get to enjoy it.
Omgggggg I’ve been watching your videos obsessively lately as I’m buying a house and I can’t wait to find out what I can do to make home improvements. Your videos have given me hopes that I can actually attempt to do a lot of things!!! I’m so inspired, all thanks to you! Keep up the amazing work!!!
I really love the solid colour. I’m kind of over the distressed look.
"Posted 15 seconds ago" WOW I've never been this early!!!
Hahaha love it!
Me too hahaha
Looks amazing! Just did this with the vanity in my master 💕
Love the vanity! So difficult to pass by beautiful finds like that.
It turned out gorgeous! There is someone local to me who takes vintage furniture and paints them in very creative ways and sells them for quite an expensive price!
Drew, please invest in a rolling moving cart. They are wonderful. It will safe your back!! Also a lifting belt to wear, to prevent injuries. Great vanity, you did such a good job on refinishing it!!👍👏🙌
Someone down the street feeling like they want it back now 😂
If someone told me it was made custom professionally I would believe it.
This vanity is bloody gorgeous.
I didn’t even have to see the video. As soon as I saw the thumbnail I had to click the like button. That is GORGEOUS!!
Jokes the original owner of the vanity just put it outside whilst waiting for someone to help them bring it inside 🤣🤣
Tell me WHY the stuff I found on the side of MY road is only fit for roaches =,= that looks like a million buck!!!!!!
I mean did u see the gates it was outside of? Lol, some expensive looking neighbourhood 😂
This is just beckoning me to drive around different neighborhoods to peep some good finds
I really apprechiate giving a new life to an abandoned piece! Not only is it sustainable amd super affordable but the piece of furniture has a story and uniqueness to it 💕
It’s beautiful! I adore the color choice. I live in an older house and the main bathroom’s bathtub and tiles are that exact green color. I love it!
The color is great. I don’t think the knobs really fit with the piece tho. And i wish you had kept some of the original color in the detailing
... and that's a big negative on those handle. Something more ornate would have been better suited.
the original owners watching this like: *can we get it back* 👁👄👁
Omg I LOVE!!!! You really turned it from tacky rich people vanity, to aesthetic af. Well done drew!
OMG OMG OMG!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍 Your videos are like therapy. They instantly make me extremely happy and also get my creative juices flowing. This makeover is gorgeous.... Thank you ❤️
Just curious if there’s a reason why you didn’t sand the whole dresser
Or take off the door and drawers. Or sand in between coats.
My thoughts exactly.
If you look close at the area he had to put wood filler on, it’s not actually wood but made from MDF (technically wood but can’t be refinished like “wood”). Stripping and/or sanding MDF would ruin it. I found that out when I tried to refinish a dresser that I thought was wood several years ago. Turned out only drawer fronts were actual wood. 😡😡
You know drew is a true friend bc he doesn’t use James Charles name for clout
I love this. I love repurposing and restoring older items. This is beautiful.
Thank you! 😊
You picked the PERFECT paint color, Drew! Looks so rich!
Great job!!
You know you’ve become a full grown adult when you start promoting Tooth Brushes. 🚰
LOL!
Just a tip on the toothbrush. You don’t need to use it like a non-electric toothbrush; the toothbrush does the work for you so all you need to do is guide it around your teeth inside and outside and the biting surfaces - save the vigorous brushing for your DIY sanding, LOL. 😁
... and I love re-purposing what people throw out. Well done!
I feel like the personality of the original vanity is gone now. I can understand painting the wood a colour to hid the scratches etc but painting the gold embellishments also green just made it a little too lack lustre for me.
What an amazing find!!!! It was meant just for you!! You’ve got such an eye for brining out the beauty in things!
I love olive green, and that is the perfect shade of it. Also the perfect shade for that vanity. Absolutely gorgeous❣
