- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 มิ.ย. 2024
- 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?

well done Drew !!!!!!!! looks amazing
Drooling over that domino joiner tool!!
I would totally buy Drew’s bookcase!
Thanks for the links! I understand the commission agreement but Home Depot sells the same pole wrap for $69.95 and this amazon link sells it for $166.42. FYI
I had so much fun doing this transformation! Thanks AD for including me in this series! How great did these book cases turn out 😍
I loved the way you rounded the corners of the bookcase so beautiful Drew
u did great drew
Great job Drew!!!! I would definitely put yours in my house, elegant lines, so Drew-like! 😘💙
I think Leonard's would be great in a kid's room! Both did a great job! 👍👍
Well done! I love the Deco lines and am sitting here looking at a wall of Billy bookcases and thinking about how well your project would go with the 1930s molding in my place.
You are amazing!
Please make this a series! 🥰
Agreed!
Yes!
Agree!!!
Was looking for this comment! 1000%!!
Yes!
I love Leonards design but I like how Drew ALWAYS makes his projects attainable for inexperienced people! Like I’m confident I could do this
Only thing is his design made the shelve wider and consumes more space - i mean drew’s design
@@nikkiumali3471 True, but I think you could make the side pieces protrude less (or maybe even only do the left or right side) and the design would probably still hold :) So I think that makes it universal enough!
@@Dommelien if he left it (the sides ) uncovered it will be more functional since he add some round steps on it that can also serve as extra shelving space .

They are one of the best concerts, you can not go but just seeing them from the screen, I know it was surprising
💗❤️💌💘
@@nikkiumali3471 yeah but it wouldn't look as good. Maybe he could've done only half of the siding leaving the front open, but that would've taken a bit more time to get more support for those sides
I love that they are not competing, the fact that they can both benefit on each others work, makes it even more attractive. I would love to see more of this content in the future 😉😄
Drew’s is aesthetically more universal, but Leonard made his into an elevated furniture piece that is sound structurally and visually.
Ditto 👌!!
@ It's a nice idea, but I think the pole wrap won't work that way. You need another material for that.
@ 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.
I liked that Leonard reinforced the bookcase. I didn’t know there was a way to do that and it’s probably a lot more functional now it won’t bend with weight. The colors were perfect for both, matching the personalities of the pieces.
He reinforced the diagonal bracing, so the shelf won't collapse as easily. The shelves will still bow over time unfortunately.
I love the colours, but I thought they would be blue, from the mid drawings, so I was surprised when they started paintings!
I agree, Leonard was very wise in the structural part of his design.
Leonard’s work is art. Drew is trendy & DIY friendly . It’s all about personal preference. I would love to own both. 💕
Great description!
I want them to redo my house!
ah I would turn that around. Leonard's strikes me as kitschy/trendy and Drew's classic. Yep personal preference
This was so interesting and so stinking charming. Two really personable guys, being super creative and coming up with such different designs. No need for manufactured competitive nonsense. Loved it.
Leonard's bookcase is a cool, unique pure piece of art and Drew's one is something I wouldn't mind to spend 700$ on. Totally two different styles but great .
Drew’s is the winner for me. His looks like the type of furniture you find on those high end furniture sites for $4000. Like Kim Kardashian’s and Kanye west’s house type style. It’s luxurious and organically round. To me, Leonard’s looks like it would be in a magazine catalog for a kid’s room or a funky office. Both are super cool but Drew’s is mind blowing to me
My style is a cross between eclectic and Scandinavian and I can definitely see either one of these pieces in my space. Usually in videos like this I prefer one design over the other but I can't decide which one I like best because they are both so beautiful! 🥰
@@David.124 interesting I see what you mean! for me, I get what Leonard means by warm fuzzy feeling every time you see it. although sleek pieces like Drew’s feel upscale, I love feeling just happy with something I see every day. Leonard’s has the artistry and emotion of “a living thing” and it would bring so much great energy to a room. but yknow, that’s coming from me who’s into funky art lol.
@@brett8460 I definitely would pick Leondard’s because I’m in love with tons of color in my house, which I’m still trying to build (I’m a college kid with a budget) but I can’t wait to be able to make pieces like this when I have the tools to.
I grew up around Leonard type of bookshelf furniture and sort of orange color vibe. I truly dislike this style now 😩 I prefer modern clean cuts and colors Drew’s winner for me 🥇
Finally people are starting to realize how great Drew is! Such a talented creative and kind individual
Finally? His channel has blown up over the last 2 years. People have been aware of how talented he is.
I loved them both, but I really like how approachable Drew’s design is and how it really transformed the bookshelf. Those slats give such a wonderful texture to the piece.
Seriously! I was thinking all you could is replace the backing with slates on a normal one and that alone would be a huge upgrade
How have I never heard of pole wrap before?? That instantly took the Billy from 0 to 100! And Leonards is definitely something I would buy too, that Memphis design like quality is everything. I hope you guys continue this and turn in to a series, It's so interesting to see how two creatives take on the same project.
Right?! I said the same thing about pole wrap! I need it in my life
It’s so cool but I don’t think it’s even sold in my country so I can’t buy it 😭
Thanks AD!! I had a blast. Drew, you’re amazing. I guess I should start a TH-cam channel now
for sure!!!
YOU SHOULD!!!! I feel like people will learn so much from you!!!
Please start a channel! Your work is amazing 🤩🙏🏾! You both did so good!!
I support this happening
You should!!! I would absolutely love to see how you design and create !
i really like how one designer added on to it while the other cut away!
Excellent observation, I hadn't even thought of that.
Love both but my favorite it's Leonard's bookshelf, reminds me a lot of very beautiful old furniture that we have here in Europe, it's very unique, I would totally buy it.
And I'm glad that he used colour, people nowadays seams afraid of colour, everything is neutral.
I hate that everyone has all white/beige decor now. Sure it goes with everything, but that's so dull!
@@roka745 i know right, i used to like it, but i now just find it so dull and boring, its just so overused now in furniture and the minimalist clothing style i also used to like, it kinda just feels bleh to me
Yeah it definitely reminds me of some of the furniture my Nonna has lol
@@fendybendy6466 White is easy to dye into other colors
@@valeries9297 smart 👌
Love Leonard’s process! Such an artist. What a great series, AD. More of this, please! ♥️
And he explained even the most minimalist detail. He knows a loot about his craft
I see Drew’s selling on CB2 and Leonard’s selling at Urban Outfitters . Both designs are EXCELLENT! Wow.. they did their THANG WITH THIS 🤩🤩🤩
Definitely agree! And I would shop both because they are giving vibes
LOVE THIS COMMENT!! Both are beautiful, I want to replicate Drew’s right now in my living room and I would put Leonard’s in my children’s room. Both beautiful
Aside from both pieces being unique and wonderful in their own right, i love how they both complemented each other, great sportsmanship and appreciation of one another's artistic talents!
I love them both! I especially love how Leonard explains the materials he uses and why he does certain things. I learned a lot
Loved this challenge. Leonard's piece is so organic, it has movement. And Drew's piece has that art deco vibe with clean lines and curves. This was fun!
Both were so good but I was particularly impressed by Leonard’s . My style is much different to his but the way he was able to visualize something completely different to the original piece while giving great structural tips about furniture, is a testament of his creativity and talent
Yes!
Indeed. This is where you can tell a pro from an enthusiast
Omg DREW !!!! Luv me some Lone Fox !!! Someone please give this kid his own TV show! He is so hard-working and fabulous.
I agree 😉❤️
Leonard’s remind me of a Van Gogh painting for some reason! I absolutely loved this video and btw so happy to see Drew on architectural digest!!
its like comparing apples to oranges, totally different audiences and goals. It turned out completely opposite of what i expected, Leonards is so much more colourful and that was something I expected from Drew lol
Wow it’s so interesting to see how two different people with two different levels of experience plan and work with something.
I think Leonard was really able to take risks with his design bc he’s so knowledgeable about structure. His piece is definitely something that would be so interesting and unique to own. Very one of a kind!
Drew’s design is classic and beautiful. Very him 😭 and there’s something oddly comforting about it being doable for the average joe (aka me) but also making it look like something that cost so much and needed so much skill to create.
They both did an amaaaaazing job !!!!
Plus Leonard has the shop with the really good tools there!
@@vaderladyl Not a fair thing to say, the materials that Drew used were pre-fabricated so someone else somewhere else did use pro tools, just not him. Most importantly, what Leonard has is the extra skills, as he's a professional furniture designer as opposed to a DIYer. He'd still do a more professional job using only the tools that Drew had.
@@lsamoa independently of talent, skills and such. Leonard still had the best tools. Anybody can see that.
@@ladyjedi21 Missing the point: tools don't a designer make, skills do. Leonard has both, but his skills and knowledge are what makes him a designer as opposed to a DIYer.
@@lsamoa yup. I could have that fancy shop with all those tools but have no idea what to do 🧍🏻♀️like NONE lol
So so weird but Drew’s DIY is exactly what I’ve been looking for as extra kitchen storage in my 60’s Art Deco condo in Miami Beach! I’m also going to use the pole wrap over the kitchen cabinets. I really hope he puts out a video on his channel so I know what color he used!
Why did you have to state it was a condo in Miami Beach?
@@rachelcookie321 because there’s a lot of historic Art Deco buildings/ hotels and post modern style so the design fits so well here! The building is in was built in the 60’s so making it more retro in the same style of that era fits and is so exciting!
@@rachelcookie321 why does me adding that detail bother you enough to comment? 🤣
@@AriaIndy because it just sounds like you’re trying to brag in your comment.
it’s a normal comment,, you’re just bothered for no reason? lol
AD, please keep this format. I love both. Nobody lost or got thrown off the video. Leonard is unique and artsy. Drew, perfection as always. ❤
Leonard’s bookcase is an art! And Drew’s looks soo him, looks really good. Good job both of you🤍
I need to buy this from drew NOW!!
@gottmik me first!! Miss u
OMG ok gottmik😍😍😍
WOW! YES 💕 love you 😍 Gottmik!!!
Hey gorge! 😘
SIs I have the recipt
I need TWO of Drew's creation. This is so high end. AMAZING!
Right? I am already trying to find a free weekend for all that painting.
I’ve watched lots of Drew but Leonard really killed this imo, i love the more sculptural element and the combination of organic lines with bright colors! Super playful and beautiful and it would make me happy every time i see it. Loved both styles but as someone with a small space something compact and visually high impact is really appealing to me
I agree!! I wish more people were as enthusiastic about Leonard's bookcase as we are. It's really so beautiful. I love how he used such organic shapes and really elevated it into a statement piece!
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.
Have they made this a series? I love seeing how different creative people channel their art in different ways, this was great!
OMG! More of these vids, please!!!
Drew from Lonefox is my fave DIYer!!!
Just discovered Leonard, and wow!
Love both, Drew's is more classy, Leonard's quirky, but both went above and beyond!
This video made my day!!! 💙👍
Mine too
omg drew!! ur living the dream!
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.
It’s interesting that you think Leonards could hold more books, considering he literally cut away at the shelves? Whats the reasoning behind that?
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 👏🏽
And takes up so much space
We need more episodes from these two. Creative and entertaining
Completely Agree!!!
Totally agree. They are both so talented.
Drew's design is brilliant! Beautiful.
I agree
@@delanascott8890
Hi Drew's mom! We love him! 😘
Elegant and sophisticated. I love it.
Drew always comes through with such gorgeous projects that look like they could easily be $$$ but are actually really affordable. Loved both bookcases 🙌🏾
LOVE, LOVE when we get to see 2 designers take the same item & go in opposite directions to make something beautiful out of it. Do more- please!
Both were amazing!!!!! Loved seeing how different their personal styles are and the resulting pieces are just so great!!! Can't even pick a favourite
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!
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.
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.
Drew you NEED your own line at CB2 or Target. They are sleeping on you and I know every item for a LoneFox X CB2/TARGET would be sold out instantly.
Agreed! Put me on the waitlist at either store if Drew ever does a collaboration 🤩
Yes!
I love both of their designs. Hoping that they'll be invited again . More of this pls ❤️
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!
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. ✌️
I love that Leonard could give Drew so much credit. Really beautiful dynamic!
i love seeing these types of videos! very educational and different from what we commonly see (celeb house tours).. keep making more of these, AD!!
I LOVED this!!!!! Seriously. Best of all was the end part/reveal where each designer gets to see the other's project and they were so lovely with each other! THAT was heart warming (I am sick to death of stupidly competitive behaviour). This was wonderful!
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.
Loved Drew's design... however Leonard's grew on me after he staged it!!! I could see Leonard's bookcase in my book living room...and Drew's definitely in my bedroom. Perhaps, production of these are in the making... I would love to see AD do MORE of this type of videos @!
Same, when it was in context, wow looked amazing, quirky and unique.
Wow both came out amazing but I have to say, Drewwwww! That shelf looks like it came from a high-end store! Love the color you used, the design and the size! It looks grand!
Oh, these are both fabulous (and so many great tips shared from you both). Great job!! 👏👏👏
From the thumbnail alone, I immediately chose Leonard's bookcase. It has so much character! I love it!
Loved both of these as they are so different. Drew's clean, simple and elegant and Leonard's has movement and is more organic.
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!
I loved watching Leonard work! He didn't seem anxious or anything, he kinda just slid into this creative land he lives in. Drew also made something fantastic!
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.
LEONARD THIS COLOOOR omg both these pieces turned out amazing and I loved the shapes on the sides that Leonard made that emulates feets, brilliant job
Loved this! I can't even decide which one I liked better in the end, but just very interesting to see how differently they approach the same project based on experience, training and style
I like Drew's best, but i agree that it was fascinating to see each one approach the same object to come up with two distinctly different designs! Loved this vid!!
LEONARDS WAS SICK...LOVE IT!!!
So proud of drew! I’ve been watching him since his old apartment lol drew us an incredible designer and he’s such a hard worker! And Leonard is a complete artist! Loved this series
Drew - you smashed it! I’m so proud!! They were both so fab but yours is just so chic and simple
Both projects are simply amazing…love the techniques used in both bookcases ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks to Drew for the tip about pole wrap, and to Leonard for the info about that use for shellac!
Honestly, these are both wonderful, so it would depend on which room I needed the shelf for. Leonard's would work in my music room, and Drew's design would look great in the current living room.
Absolutely love both bookcases! Both are well designed and executed. A+ to Drew and Leonard
Can we talk about how good Drew`s one looks like!? OMG! Love it!
I loved both of the projects, but I can see myself actually being able to make Drew's! I want that in my home. Drew what color is that paint??? So gorgeous!!!
Exactly!
Loved both projects so much! The interaction between the two was also so nice and supportive. Please let these two work together more often!
Not sure how I feel about either design, but I appreciate Leonard's technical knowledge and ability and Drew's creativeness and fun energy.
Have loved Lone Fox for a long time, but Leonard is a new light for me. Thanks AD, great idea. And great execution by both!
I am obsessed with both! Leonard’s fits the vibe of my home perfectly with the funky lines and the incredible color but I could see Drew’s being sold on CB2 like Leonard said! I have rewatched Leonard’s reveal about five times it is SO COOL. I love this!!
The love fest at the end of this was just so lovely to watch! Two different artists appreciating each other's unique styles. Loved both pieces!
I love how it’s not a competition, it’s just a bit of fun to see how two different designers approach the same project, and they were both so complimentary of each others works! 💗 love to see Artists build up other Artists 💪
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!!
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.
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.
@@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.
OMG!!! I love both of these. I love how both of them shared their design and reconstruction steps, including useful tips. I generally love Drew's projects. 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.
Drew, you really outdid yourself. Your style and skills are always mind-blowing. But this one is beyond. My daughter is getting ready to buy her first house and I feel like this is a project we are going to have to incorporate there.
Hello dear, how are you doing?
Yay Lone fox family represent! Great job drew, would love this in my living room. Leonard’s is amazingly creative too.
This is more than a transformation!!!
I hope to see more from this series. These two designers knocked it out of the park and I love that each took a completely different direction and used completely different tools and processes.
This was awesome. I love how the designers were so supportive of each other. This is the most wholesome thing I've seen all day!
Brilliant! More of Drew and Leonard, please!
Drew in high production content is so satisfying. His normal production still is, but when someone else shoots him, he looks magical!
Also, loved both book cases. The contrasts to their approach are great, really speaks to different audiences and visually interesting. This is my first time learning about Leonard, and I loved his practical and professional approach paired with his educational additions.
This needs to be a series! I love seeing what can be done at different levels of complexities--both pieces are absolutely stunning! :D
I SCREAMED when I saw Drew. He deserves THE WORLD.
Wow Drew! You are always out doing yourself. Love the finished bookcase. It's something I would put in my home!
Both bookcases are beautiful,but I love Drew's style better.
Hello Diana, how are you doing?
I love the structural changes Leonard made to his bookcase, I would integrate those changes onto Drew's design which is more to my taste.
Both of these are stunning overall
Drew's bookcase blew me away - he made it look so high end! Would love to see more DIY TH-camr's featured on AD 🙌🏼
I'm so proud of your project!
Most of all, my heart was smiling at the dialogue you and Steve had about each other's projects. With all the unsettling news we hear every day, it was refreshing to hear two artist complementing each other in a genuine way.
Wow...both shelfs are just beautiful. I sometimes DIY a little bit by myself (whenever it's necessary again to come up with a storage idea in my 2-room 41sqm. apartment) but in none of my dreams I would have such an idea. Both of them did just great though I prefer Drew's, because I like the clean-line design and the discreet color. I'm a huge Bauhaus fan and Drew's idea comes close to this concept.
I am obsessed with Drew’s channel. I absolutely love everything he does. Such an amazing talent. I have to say that I love both designs. They are both so different and could work in different spaces. One could work in an eclectic vibe, while the other could work in a boho chic.. the choices are endless. I hope they do another challenge
So good, this needs to be a series! Loved both, fun to see Drew getting a spotlight on his talent!
I'm here for Drew and love this design. But wow! I admit I would be more likely to replicate Leonard's design for my own setting. And shellac - we need more deets!
Shellac is amazing. It also seals bad smells so it's brilliant when you're renovating a place or object that smells of tobacco or had water damage.
This was a fun challenge to watch! Hoping it is or will becomes a series.
I hope that it’s going to be a new series too!💡🤩👀❤️✅
I was having trouble visualizing Leonard’s bookcase but when I saw it in the space WOW. it is SO high impact. Love.
Love both these designers. So good to see Drew show off his DIY style with an artisan like Leonard.
