  • We gave a pair of designers with very different styles one day to transform the same IKEA Billy bookcase, turning one of the most popular furniture items in the world into something more personalized and expressive. Drew Scott of Lone Fox is a DIY dynamo who emphasizes attainability with an eclectic twist, while furniture designer Leonard Bessemer of Objects for Objects approaches his work through a lens of sculpture and indulgence. Whose IKEA hack would fit most comfortably in your home?

      @gnarbeljo8980 Před 2 lety +9

      @ it would totally work only one would have to construct rounded doorframes to cover with pole wrap and add hinges and a hidden clasp. The problem with that being it would be difficult to open them standing flush against a wall. The roll top desk style opening requires a whole different framing and hardware on the back of the shelf so it has somewhere to slide, I'm not familiar with pole wrap so not sure the material is suited for it. Loose oak slats with cable run through at the ends may work better. Definately a more expensive build.

      Agreed! I happen to love the color he selected too. But I also think it would work in a wide variety of spaces by picking different colors for the overall style. It would look very sophisticated in black in a modern space, for instance. Whereas bright colors would be more edgy, modern or whimsical depending on the decor of the space it's placed in. So versatile.

    Leonard's was my favorite because it was very warm and dynamic - and stronger, so it can hold more/heavier books! Drew's was nice too. I think I could see it working in a variety of spaces in different colors, like a dusky blue to bring it out against the white room.

    • @partlyironic
      @partlyironic Před 2 lety +2

      It’s interesting that you think Leonards could hold more books, considering he literally cut away at the shelves? Whats the reasoning behind that?

  • @2009lermamiriam
    @2009lermamiriam Před 2 lety +127

    Maybe I’m being biased but I absolutely loved Drew’s design. It’s so classy and yet attainable as are all his diys. I think that’s what I love most about it. You don’t need fancy tools to replicate it. As always Drew, you outdid yourself 👏🏽

    Leonard’s bookcase reminded me of a piece of furniture from HAY Design or DWR, while Drew’s looked like a piece from Cb2 or Crate and Barrel. Both put their flare on it! I’m really impressed!

  • @batmannewyork
    @batmannewyork Před 2 lety +56

    These are both incredible. Great artists and helps inspire me how to elevate “basic” furniture with design, no need to always buy designer, and a way to give furniture new life and keep some of it out of landfills. Thanks AD for sharing/creating this.

    @rosehill1595 Před rokem +27

    Love them both, it just depends on whatever works in your space. That said, Leonards is my favorite for two reasons, it almost looks like it is in motion, he added strength to the connectors (I have lots of heavy books:) and he replaced the back by using one solid piece of masonite instead of foldable ~cardboard~. Since I am not afraid of color - Leonard's piece would match my walls... I'm a big fan of Drew's, love a lot of his DIY's and cool ideas - and yeah, not everyone has power tools, but I will try the Shellac on my kitchen cabinets - thanks for your inspiration boys - well done!

  • @chandracox6814
    @chandracox6814 Před rokem +3

    I love how their personalities reflect in their work. They both produced stunning pieces. I've always been a fan of Drew and I have watched him on his channel (Lone Fox) for a few years now. It's incredible how far he has come, and he deserves every bit of success. Drew's aesthetic is more of my style but both pieces are works of art. ✌️

    First of all I love them both??? They're so sweet and chill. Second, awesome results! Leonard made a very like statement piece, bright, bold, shiny, and Drew made something that's more neutral but with personality. Ugh, love both styles.

  • @gabbyvelasquez3767
    @gabbyvelasquez3767 Před 2 lety +19

    I love Drew's so much, definitely something I would put up in my home. It's easy on the eyes and easy to style too. I love it! As someone with a small space, I prefer neutral pieces with texture in order to brighten up my home and make it appear larger than it is.

  • @SuperFierro09

  • @sunnywang7625
    @sunnywang7625 Před 2 lety +83

    I came from Drew's channel and expected nothing but awesomeness and he delivered! But I also like how fun and unique Leonard's piece turned out! It's like they feed into two different aspects of my personalities: one a sophisticated adult who wants a calming space and the other one a fun loving kid who wants all the great colors in the world. So much talent, both of them!

    They're both so beautiful, would love something like this as a series with varied designers! I love that they're both appreciative of each others work, no need to compete, and how each described the process accessibly to the viewers (so jealous of Leonard's workshop) so that they can potentially achieve something similar if they wanted to at home.

  • @JJoy-bk8yr
    @JJoy-bk8yr Před 2 lety +5

    I do love both - but - following the Amazon link for the pipe wrap Drew used and doing a little calculation, that much pipe wrap alone from that Amazon site would cost over $800 (five pieces at $167 each). Add tax, the cost of the bookcase itself and the cost of the paint, it will be over $1,000.00 total for materials . . . Soooo, the project would be good for some folks who have a lot of money, a lot of skill, a lot of time, who really love both the look and the process. I really like the look and the process seems fun, but if/when I have $1,000 budgeted for a bookcase, I'll more likely go with a fine antique or hire a cabinet maker to make something out of solid hardwood. No shade - it is a nice piece.

    • @morgancrossley6166
      @morgancrossley6166 Před 2 lety +4

      You can find it MUCH cheaper elsewhere. Home Depot has it in different sizes from around $70 or so which means you can buy only as much as you need.

    • @lsamoa
      @lsamoa Před 2 lety +1

      @@morgancrossley6166 That still adds up to about 500 bucks in materials alone. Not realistic. Of course Leonard's project will cost money too but browsing through the comments it seems that a lot of people preferred Drew's bookcase because it looke more attainable for them to replicate. But with the additional costs, is it really that attainable? Might as well get something of higher quality made by a real designer.

  • @holycheeseitssam
    @holycheeseitssam Před 2 lety +17

    Thanks to Drew for the tip about pole wrap, and to Leonard for the info about that use for shellac!

    I love the style and look of Drew's piece! Such a cool texture, and the classic color would fit in any home. I do wish you could open the sides though--if they could open and close magnetically, they'd make some great additional shelf storage. Leonard's piece is so fun and vibrant! A very risky choice to paint it a flat orange, but then it looks so classy after he styles it. It's walking a fine line between kid's playroom and eclectic, quirky adult. It could be quite the versatile piece! This was so fun to watch!!

This one is certainly not an exception to that. The lines, and texture the wrapping material added are awesome. I also appreciated how he decided to change the overall shape of it. But Leonard's unit is so incredible. I love how he shared tips on how to deal with a material that can be a bit difficult. How he explained that some steps were adding structural value as well as contributing to his design ideas.
