Drew I have to say I was skeptical about the bookcases but they came out absolutely stunning! I think instead of the rosettes I would’ve done a brass rail to match the lamps and then I would’ve filled that area with plants! But I’m super happy that you’re in love with it 😍😍

I know the piece over the door was meant to link the two together, but sad that the natural light won’t be able to move up to the vaulted ceilings. Kind of makes it feel gloomy up there, and the doors feel trapped and caged off. But love that Drew finds exactly what he loves and goes with it! Not for everyone, but so creative and fun!

I've noticed that in most cases, a full wall of built-ins in the wall colour look less busy than a couple units or mid-height drawer piece. As long as you take care to leave some shelves almost empty with only decor it's going to appear as less heavy. It also appears to be taking less space in the room because you still have a straight wall.

Drew, love the bookcases. Have you thought about adding small LED lights that shine up to the ceiling running behind the rosettes? Place them midway the depth of the shelves, and maybe even see if you can change the color of the lights to go with whatever mood you want to give. I’m not meaning a strip of lights but a row of 2-3” round lights. It would highlight those beams that are on your wall. I think that would be dramatic! And I know you like drama 😂

Not a fan of the top part, i think it takes away from the doors. I really think old bookcases or something smaller beside those lovely doors would have been nicer.. Or painted dark so they don't compete with the doors.. Not my fav at all.

i love love love the results specially with the small squares on the top of the shelves! so cute and came so well together

I love the way your videos are structured. Although we’ve seen clips of the book shelves in other videos, I love seeing it from the start! Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this!

I for one, love the bookcases, IMO no home should be without them. Love how you transformed them so they look like they’ve always been there. I think the chairs were worth the investment, and the amber gold chenille looks fabulous! Everything you’ve done suits that beautiful original ceiling. Love it ❤❤

I wish you put the 2nd chair farther apart because it blocks the beautiful stained glass doors. Maybe it isn't an issue when you are really in the room but on video??❤ The bookcases are fantastic.

Drew, when I think back on everything you’ve worked on and completed-the windows; refinishing, scraping, adding munitions-the paint, the fireplace, the stained glass-now the built-ins! It really is all in the details. It’s all so amazing! Kudos to Justin and Maria as well!

Instead of the Rossets on top, I think it would have looked a little nicer to have done something similar to the ceiling beam design on top of the bookcases. Just my 2 cents.

Just a heads up, the last few minutes of the video are black with just music. I have a feeling that was not intended!

Drew, I've been watching your videos since you were making one of your first rental apartment a beautiful space and taking us on your journey. I have to say that I am thoroughly enjoying your new home's makeover. I am so proud of you. Wishing you all the success you deserve with much love. 🥂❤️

there is something so addicting and euphoric about watching you approach your DIYs. You make it look so easy and fun, and I appreciate that so much about your videos. The main reason I love design is the problem solving aspect of it, and you are constantly solving problems and making things look so seamless and beautiful. amazing job!

Book cases look amazing. I’m not a rosette fan, but understand why you incorporated them into your design. Love the lights inside the book cases. I think some warm white dim lighting behind the rosettes would accentuate the architecture on the ceiling and give you a warm cozy vibe to that side of the room. Thanks for sharing.

Love it! The Gothic style you have throughout your house reads castle vibes to me. So I think the rosettes lean into the castle vibes. I am here for it. The bookcases are stunning!

Your attention to detail is absolutely wonderful. You've given me so many ideas. The shelves look fabulous!

The bookcases look STUNNING! I cannot believe how much character the rosettes add! Stealing that idea for sure. 🤗❤️

Love the bookshelves, hate the top trim’s

I am so so happy you really leaned into the medieval aspect of the design. It's so hard to find modern interpretations/DIYs that look editorial rather than cheap and kitschy 😍 That step is setting off my ocd tho, it's way too narrow for the average foot 😂

Not only are you amazingly talented, creative, and energetic, you are so fun to watch. This project looks fabulous. I may try the bookcases. You've given me courage.

I saw the negative comments on Instagram and Im so sad, that people think, your home its made for them... Its what you love and what you want to have in your HOME. the whole room commes sooo nice together, I live in Europe and this is great example of the design here. You do a great job!

Yep the bookshelves do look amazing..such a clever add with the steps..love the fact you just don’t design but actually get stuck in…a very talented young man..

Y’all were so skeptical about these bookcases but as always Drew delivered. Thanks for sharing the process, I’m remembering the tips for my own home. Can’t wait to see them styled!

OMG - what an incredible transformation and the chairs are amazing! Can't wait to see more - Love you Drew and Crew!!!!

Love the cushion cover colour. Also like that you are adding a metal rack on the display shelves.

Seeing how much your design aesthetic has grown from the first time I came across your channel (and subscribed) last 2018 makes me so incredibly proud of you xx

I watch every video and admire how you keep developing. It feels like your creativity keeps evolving. Congratulations on all your well deserved accomplishments. You are so dedicated.

I just want to curl up with a good book and a cup of tea. You are so talented and do such beautiful work. I hope you are proud of yourself and are enjoying your lovely home. ❤

I love the whole look it does emphasise the ceiling too

I gotta say....I was a skeptic....but I love this! Was afraid u would go dark with the stain but I love that u kept it light and matching the walls! And the rosettes? A nice touch! I love of the visual interest it gives

The rosettes look more Roman than anything. I thought you said you were going to try to keep it spanish design?

I had my doubts about the bookcases. I should have known as usual Drew makes them look Amazing.❤️

Great job on the shelving Drew - it looks as though it has always been there. Those chairs are gorgeous. Just love how this room is coming together.

the rosettes were a daring choice, but i’m glad you went for it! they look so much better than i expected. i should’ve known you could pull it all together!

The rosettes on top of the shelves are so reading medieval castle which makes my heart soar! Love it m’lord!

I trusted your process from the start Drew, you've proven time and again that you know what's going to look amazing. At the end of the day, it is your home, and while others as viewers may prefer different bits and pieces, it's your home! Of course, it is to your taste and liking, which, by the way, I happen to love. Just stunning! The bookshelves showcase those gorgeous doors, and the trim feature across the top of the bookshelves fits so well with the overall style of your home. Well done 🧡🤎🩶 from Australia.

OMG, the bookshelves are gorgeous Drew, yall did a great job!!!

I hope we get a video all about how you style the shelves!! I have a floor to ceiling built in bookcase in my 1940s cottage home and I’m so overwhelmed by the shelves!! It’s been two years in the home and I still don’t feel like they are right 🤪. Everything looks amazing!!!!! ❤❤❤❤

The technical term for what you did with the rosettes is crenellation. It also almost serves as classical dentils. It was a clever solution

I was one of the skeptical people about the bookcases but i love the way you added that top shelf and all of the molding and rosettes so beautifully done you have such a eye for how things are gonna look i love everything u have done so far.

What a beautiful job you did. Can’t wait to see the finished product, amazing!!

hmm it’s nice but i still don’t like the doors being so enclosed by the shelves. just feels cramped to me, but the shelves definitely look good on their own, just feel like it cramps it up next to the doors and the windows. Wish it could have been on another wall

absolutely love how the built ins turned out! What a creative way to get a custom look at a bargain price

Drew I never question your thought process because in the end of every project you continue to amaze me with your talent , I’ve been subscribed for sooooo many years and you never ever disappoint, I tip my hat to you 👏👏👏👏👏❤️

Lol Justin “ that’s interesting..” drew “I love it”

Drew you are unbelievable. I have the Billie bookcases and enjoy having them in my small dining room. Your ideas to trim and connect them is amazing.

The bookshelves remind me of a castle with the spaced out trim! Absolutely in love with them!

Love the trim at the top! So glad you painted the shelves the same color as the walls. Oh and the fabric you used for the chair upholstery? OMG! Just love it! ❤

Oh Drew holy cow Drew. Seriously a bow down to you. Your work is phenomenal. I love everything you’ve done and how you brought light into the room. The details to the bookcases make it from an ordinary functional to statement a Gorgeous statement. Oh, and putting the rosettes along the very top spaced out Makes a little bit like a castle with the mid evil beans in light fixtures. I hope I’m explaining this the way I mean for it to come out. Just plain or just a piece of molding just would not have carried the style of the ceiling and the beams and everything up there down into the walls the bookcases the incredible gorgeous, unique vintage French doors. It just wouldn’t have accented them to this level. And what you did at the bottom of those French doors. Holy moly they’re not just functional in those beautiful doors there. Oh no, it’s a piece of art just from the floor to the bottom of those doors. I love it love it love it every little tiny detail not just the big ones are mine blowing. Can’t wait to see what you do next. I am enjoying this so much Drew thank you thank you thank you. Oh, and the Monterey chairs are so uniquely perfect. They bring like the structure and strength of that mid evil/Art Deco era altogether. The detail on the sides I feel completely in love with so something I would love to get my hands on. There’s so unique and rare and one-of-a-kind really. So like each piece is a little different. And the resources you have discovered to buy really unique pieces for your home like that antique stone sink, I think, from like turkey, amazing. This home is truly becoming more and more of a work of art. Thanks for taking us along to these unique shops, which I would never get to explore and enjoy. If not for you. I am so very much living vicariously through you. I’m a 60-year-old Mama/Nana in the Pacific Northwest and I pretty much spent my life changing diapers and flipping tortillas lol. But I learned so much from you that I save up and get little pieces here and there and you and MacCenna have really influenced me in ways I never imagined I’d be influenced into a totally different direction. My style is definitely Mexican BoHo. But I’ve introduced neutrals like creamy off whites which I never really saw is my style and now I’m in love with. I also love, your choice of fabrics texture, even more than color that you chose for your chairs. Actually, I love all the things you’ve had reupholstered or done yourself. But chenille not like the chenille and bedspreads, but the chenille like in throw blankets and like you did on your chairs, I am passionate about. Thank you so much for taking me a long your journey. It’s turning out to be quite the ride.
