Along with his other platforms, Drew is also active on TikTok, where he shares daily DIY ideas. We asked Drew to give us the low down on some of his favorite projects that he suggests trying at home. In the video, Drew shows how he covers the wooden blocks in marble printed contact paper before gluing the three blocks together with hot glue. Note that he uses a marbled contact paper with a bit of a shine for the ultimate faux finish. “They make the perfect accent piece to any shelfie!” Using an old armchair, Drew tested out a concoction that gave the dated fabric a whole new lease on life. “Using equal parts paint and fabric softener, I was able to paint the chair to look like leather," said Drew. “It doesn’t crack and the chair still feels just like fabric! Using a faux leather armchair (or one painted to look leather, as above!) and a geometric bookshelf, Drew’s timelapse shows the power of well-placed accessories. Play with books, plants, art, and smaller accessories like candlesticks and baskets for maximum impact. “A styled bookshelf makes all the difference!” Play around with adding softer textiles like throw pillows and blankets, and see how the whole aesthetic changes. Any craft project that calls for a trip to the beach is definitely one we’re willing to try. And as a bonus, “these painted shells make the perfect little trinket dish or gift!” said Drew. Instead of splurging, Drew turned to IKEA. “I decided to recreate the look for less using IKEA BESTÅ cubes and tile I found at the local tile store. I made these easy DIY nightstands for Natalie Noel’s bedroom.”
