I found this art deco vanity on FB Marketplace, and I planned to turn it into a set of nightstands, as I typically like to do with vanities like this. However, the one photo in the listing was not enough to inform me of the fact that the two sides of the vanity were two different heights. My initial thought when I saw this was to just not buy it, but I'm very glad that I did because it forced me to think outside the box and come up with a solution that I'm honestly quite proud of :)

I just started following your channel a couple of months ago. You do a fantastic job turning "trash" into "treasure." What I appreciate most is the presentation: no music, just the natural sounds around you, like the kids playing on the playground, or the wind blowing, or the brush moving across the wood. I've been doing a little of restoration work myself but, based on what I've seen you do, I can clearly do better. Keep up the great work!
“I’ll have to get creative”. 🤣 You’re already one of the most creative furniture upcyclers on TH-cam! These turned out so beautifully - they would work together or separately.
"The socks are back" - Andy sure knows the way to our hearts. 🧦=❤️
To my surprise I love the quirkiness of the differences. The fronts make it clear they are a set but just like the couple in my mind that will use them, they are also uniquely themselves!
Both of these nightstands have a unique, independent character. And they look great together. Amazing job! And I like the split screen that you did for the ad. Thanks for another wonderful video.
I didn't realize how beautiful those drawers/door were. They were so dirty. I'm sure you saved the little drawers on the middle. You'll think of something.
I appreciate the way you bring out something new while maintaining the integrity of the original piece. Lovely work!
I really like the interest of having slightly mismatched bedside tables and you've certainly made a fabulous job with these two. That was a very odd looking vanity but now it's regained its dignity again as two beautiful nightstands.
Genuinely impressed that you were able to integrate that much red oak and maintain the sophisticated look. Great choice of stain color.
OH. MY. GOSH! These are absolutely beautiful!!!!! If there was an Olympic event for repurposing, you'd be the gold medalist!
Unbelievable! You have a very good eye for design and proportions. The right surfaces and smooth transitions. It's really a pleasure to be part of this creative process every time!
Meraki, a Greek word meaning to do something with soul, creativity, or love; to put something of yourself in your work. Excellent job
BRAV-OOOOO!!! These pieces are chef's kiss, first place, gold star, gold medal! I cannot believe how gorgeous they turned out! But i shouldn't be surprised. You are a Master creator! What i also liked is the split screen of your sponsor nd you continuing ur exquisite work! Thank you for doing that. I actually found myself ping ponging between the two screens, lol.
I learned how to refinish my bedside dresser from watching your channel and now every time I see how shiny and beautiful it is now I’m happy 😊 thanks for the videos!!
I would have encouraged incorporating the small drawers from the discarded middle section into the tophat that you made for the shorter right side module you removed. This would have retained more of the original features from the piece as well as raising the height to match the new height of the left side module. Art Deco pieces can be quirky in appearance but sometimes remarkably valuable. It would be interesting to see what a professional appraisal would say about the before and after on your project.
I absolutely love the eccentric pieces you create with the furniture you find. You have such a keen eye on what you want to create, then it becomes a masterpiece.
Awesome! Reuse of a gorgeous art deco piece. So many of these wind up in the trash.
The design vision, video editing, and carpentry skill you have all come together to result in some of the most entertaining videos on TH-cam.
Love the art deco pattern on these, and I’m glad you modified them to be the same height. Beautiful coordinating set now. My immediate next thought behind nightstands would be small bar and side table both in a study or den. Great job! 👍
