I am 77 years old. You are teaching so much about woodworking. I am Turning my small china cabinet into a coffee bar. Can’t wait to get it finished today.
You might be able to give the doors a farmhouse look and sell them as wall art decor
Great, great idea! Thank you for sharing it 😊
Love that idea
TOTALLY
I was thinking the exact same thing!!
Always save parts for the next upcycle 😉
I have wallpapered some backs on some bookshelves and what I did was remove the back, stick the wall paper on there and then nail the back back on.
Ahhhh, interesting! (: I like that idea!
If the back can come off. Some do not have that kind of thin board on the back, You would actually have to take the whole piece of furniture apart on all my cabinets. It is a good idea however.
You can put the wallpaper on a piece of MDF, then using double-sided tape to hold it in place. The shelves will also keep the “false back” in place.
Yes that is what I would do...
😎From AZ...Awesome ideas on how to attach wallpaper, etc to bookcase inside back or cabinets. For example; I use IKEA Billy bookcases often for many of the rental homes I have owned and they are great to carry a heavy load per shelf and now come in prepainted colors. I removed the backing, papered and carefully re-nailed the back on with tiny nails. Great updated look for staging with minimal decor pieces or tenants books etc.
I've been binge watching you. Dave Ramsey needs to give you a shout out!! Lol To pay off your student loan, you've worked very hard. I know you have been raised right and your parents are proud.
That’s awesome 😊 glad you are enjoying our content! Dave Ramsey is awesome, one day I hope to run into him!
Thank you for your kind words - my mom and dad will appreciate those comment 💕
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher you're very welcome!👍
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher 💜
I agree rather than her relying on the govt to do it she is doing it on her own. You always feel better knowing you have accomplished something on your own.
@@dianebeland3290 She has the resources to start a project like this. It's admirable, but she started from a place of relative privilege and has a marketable appeal. It doesn't take away from what she did, but some people don't have one of those elements or another.
For the doors, buy four antique stair stiles, cut to the same length and attach to the bottom of the door. You now have a boho chic glass table
Good idea
Next time try using a fabric steamer and place weights on the door overnight I think it would harden straight
I will make sure to make note of this for next time. Thanks for the idea 💡
There are several beautiful craft projects you can do with those beautiful doors. Sell them separately, and you'll make so much more money than if you would have kept them on your project!
Looks fantastic! and btw, as an Australian who never sees them, I was so excited to see a squirrel in your front yard!
😀 love that! He was popping by and hung out with us for awhile! Thanks for watching!!
But you guys have Koala's and Kangaroos! Have a blessed day!
@@donnabradley765 for a lot of Australians seeing kangaroos and koalas is pretty rare, so that is special to us too, unlike squirrels which seem to be everywhere. My in-laws thought I was a bit odd with my squirrel obsession when I first visited them In the states; they like them too but see them so often.
Likewise from Australia.....saw the squirrel and rewound! Only time I saw squirrels and had one sit on my lap was in New York City.
I’ll start a new channel posting videos of the random fauna around my home! Squirrels grow on trees around here! Haha Hope y’all will join! All the best 😀
I bet you’re a great KG teacher Lauren.
The way you care for and pay such attention to each piece you upgrade, (and care you take to explain to us)tells me you’d probably take that to your classroom also. Much love from retired school principal in Spain who is now learning from you
Omg I have this same hutch in my garage and was thinking about selling it as is but now I guess I'll be flipping it, thanks.
Lauren, what sets your channel apart from all the others is that you explain the seliing process and give us the numbers at the end. Telling us to go to instagram doesn't cut it. Can you do your projects the week before, would that help? I love your work and your vibe, great job!
I do hope to get to that point. But as you know, I am a full time teacher so it just becomes pretty tough to get ahead at this point with my teaching responsibilities. My market doesn't always respond to outside of the box colors (anything but grey & white) so quickly!
Thanks for your comments but for the moment this is the best way for us to continue on the story of the pieces if they don't sell by their video release on YT. We are releasing monthly compilation videos that recap everything sold for the month.
Thank you for watching and supporting FFT ☺️
The recap really does the job honestly for me... I do get the satisfaction on the day!!!! I sure wish youtube let you IM with your subscribers.... And exchange photos
@@rachelchenoweth5748 I encourage you to follow us over on instagram as well! This will allow you to message me freely and I will be able to respond as time allows (: Thanks for watching!
Hi Lauren - if you place a rubberband over the head of the screw it gives the screwdriver something to hold onto which helps get the screw out.
I love your work and really enjoy following your journey.
Awesome tip! Thank you for that.
And thank you for watching and sharing your kind words 💕
If you have a large or awkwardly situated hole to fill, try hammering in a wooden dowel first and then filling the remaining space with wood putty.
I was to say the same thing and before I posted I checked the comments figuring someone else would have said it . 😎
For difficult repairs and holes instead of wood filler use bondo it works great
May have to look into that. Thanks for sharing
Save the doors and use them for another project. With your creativity, I know you can come up with something fun.
Great idea!
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher I agree, the doors could be a wall treatment for many people like old vintage doors for home decor.
Exactly what I thought.
@@sherry1674w oh, good idea!!
I thought the same. Maybe get a few boards and make a cabinet to put one of the doors if you can’t use both. Sometimes those cheap shelving units can be cut up to size and glued to make a new cabinet.
Great job. I would like to add a helpful tip: Paint the bottom edge or the the top of an armoire or shelf unit if they have a curved top or curved trim. Those edges are exposed when viewed from the side. It is a small touch but worth it.
Learning so much from you. Thanks for what you do. Have learned a lot. I have an old cedar chest with a damaged top. Now I know what to do. Thanks for what you do. Keep going. YEAH
I really like what you did with the hutch. Looks so much better without the doors. The only thing I didn't care for was the wallpaper. I think it would look so much better without it. Great job !
Same here. I think the wallpaper might not be as versatile, kinda hard to match it with your existing pieces. Just my 2 cents though💁♂️
I love how you are embracing what you like to do, sometimes even if it is a bit pricey, it's totally worth it!
Totally worth, no doubt it!
Thanks for watching Keiry 😊
I truly admire your tenacity and determination to work hard and pay off that debt quickly. I am a senior citizen pastor and have a soft spot ofr young adults who are not afraid to work. I hope the kindergarten parents see your determination and teach their kids to follow that example. God bless you Lauren. Hang in there and keep on keeping on.
You should get her in your church! That way you get a 10 percent tax free cut! Way to be the only person to make even one bit of your compliment about yourself....Typical.
You are so thorough. I love how you deep clean and not just cover over. You deserve every $ you make.
I love this piece,love the gold hardware with the dark color!
Also I am so happy that you got knee pads hon, please use them! You will be happy that you did! 🙏❤️
For the doors, have you heard of Rustoleum Mirror Effect? You can use it on the glass, paint the wood gold, sell them as wall decor or use them as staging props 😊
Your mom sounds cool to hang out supporting you!! Also I'm Enjoying learning from you!!
finally someone with some cool sanding music. :)
I love it . The squirrel appearance made me laugh . Also think your streets houses look quite European compared to how us Europeans usually see American houses represented. I’m also delighted to see your subscribers numbers continue to increase. Your hard work is paying off 🎉😀🏴
Such a cute, fun little hutch. Always good when you learn things in the process and glad you pointed out to look for missed spots when you flip the piece over. There are always missed spots on the underneath! LOL. You are having an amazing journey! Thank you for bringing us along with you. Keep up the great work!
I have a piece I’m working on now with warped doors. I looked up a old trick that worked great and it straightened the doors. If you can remove the glass...do so first. If not it’s fine with them in just need to be more careful. I laid the doors on the concrete garage floor. Put wet rags over all the wood and kept the rags wet. Put weight on each corner of the door frame to weigh it down flat to the floor. As the water draws into the wood it slowly took the warp out!
Kept the rags and weight on the doors for a full day and night. Worth a try and it did work for me! Maybe you can try it to on a future project with this issue! By the way...I use to live in Bellevue and now live in southwest Colorado...and my son and his family live in Millard area of Omaha. Small world! You did a great job 👏🏻
Could even give it a try on the door in question. 🌻
quilters square and a rotary cutter will make any wallpaper cuts much easier. I'll also take the wallpaper and center down the middle and leave outside edges the color i painted the furniture. It looks better than a wonky wallpaper cut
Interesting! I never thought of that! Thanks for the tip & thanks for watching!
That piece of wood that supports the shelf is called a cleat. Instead of paper on the back, you could always stencil a pattern for no cost. Looks beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful! I love that you left the shelves unpainted, because when you opened up the bottom cupboard it all went together. Great job!
Awesome job. Looks fantastic! Love the choose of wallpaper!
The hinge"is being a little bougher"....definitely kindergarten teacher words lol! Wear safety glasses when pulling things out. Sometimes things go flying.
I would love to see the stick-on paper REMOVED and some lovely stencils used on the doors and inside walls. The dark gray is beautiful, but is too stark, especially for a cozy, welcoming coffee bar. And, yes, I would want the shelves painted. Stencils can make a plain item a must-have one.
Looks amazing with the wood on the back.
It is much easier to remove the backing to put the paper on and then replace it. Usually just a few small nails and takes less time than the way you tried it. GREAT JOB!
I will definitely be doing this next time! Thanks for watching!
I'm binge watching too. A year late! I have an odd empty space at end of a galley kitchen in a small home we are updating to downsize a 2nd time in retirement. I was thinking to try to match existing cabinets to make a boring broom closet! Changed my mind. Something like this is a better idea!
Hey friendly tip for worn screws, grab an rubber band and put it between the screw driver and the screw. It creates grip making it super easy to get out.
Good Evening Lauren, Great Job! Love that you kept the shelves Natural! The wallpaper is interesting and goes well with the Color you have painted it. Awesome. It should sell quickly. Much success to you with this sale. Sherry :)
Thank you Sherry 😊 happy to hear you enjoyed the final result - thanks for watching!
I love it. You do such great work. And the gold on there was a perfect choice. I also think the 2 tone look is great along with the wallpaper. ❤
Love the color! Try paintable wallpaper. It has a ton of texture and very forgiving.
Yes. You can attach (hang) a wreath to each door and sell them that way. Very popular.
Just found your videos I share your passion! When it comes to the shelves you might want to mark them with a number from top to bottom. When it comes to a lot of cabinets, and hutches it might be harder to put back in the shelves especially when you get to more intricate cabinetry.Love your videos can’t wait to binge watch them all!
I just recently subscribed to your channel. What a wealth of info! Thank you for all the interesting content you put out. I feel confident that I will have great results with my projects following your valuable teachings.
Great idea, using the leaf blower.
Those doors could be flipped into wall art. The before and after is beautiful!! And the door knobs you picked is exactly what I envisioned in my head!! Great job!!
I had a step stool like the white one you have, when I was a kid....my brother use to use it as a toddler high chair....oh how things have changed....great job on the hutch, lovely color too!!...I really appreciate the name of the color, "in the navy".... hilarious, but fitting!!...
Not sure if anyone mentioned this since i didn't read the almost 600 comments, but you can use toothpicks to fill holes from screws before you apply the wood filler, and try dowels in larger holes. You can use less filler and help reduce it shrinking after drying
Absolute stunning! A touch of gold paint on the ornamentals parts would look rich too. Nice work!
I think that would add a dash of spice - good idea! Thank you for watching ☺️
Love your work! your videos are giving more motivation and inspiration to start flipping furniture too!
Really like that Navy color.
Those doors, without the mullions, will make great mirrors or picture frames.
Ahh fun idea! Thanks for watching!
that's some impressive videography! neiman is getting good!
Very, very good. I do like how he is making a "cameo" appearance now and again. There is no "I" in Team. 🌻
Hey Meghan, Neiman here!
I’m glad you found a liking to it. As we make more of these videos we are really starting to find a flow and aesthetic. Can’t wait to bring more and more higher quality productions to you all! Makes my heart happy when it’s noticed. Thank you and blessings 🙌🏽
I have to keep it to a limit, I don’t want to scare off too many of Laur’s fans 😉
-Neim
I'd use the doors as sun catchers hanging in a window. You could make them into faux stained glass. Or various other things.
good call on keeping the shelves wood
Lauren, this is so beautiful! I love the wallpaper you chose. Beautiful paint color.
Thank you so so much Suzanne 🤗 I am so happy with how it turned out!
On the flat head screws I use a sharp knife and run it in the slot it helps, just passing along a helpful tip. 😊
You do an incredible job with pieces I would NEVER think I could bring around to sell. Removing the bottom skirt from chairs makes SUCH A DIFFERENCE. Thanks for the ideas!
I was sad when you took the doors off because I loved the detail on the glass and I voted for blue wallpaper on IG... but I absolutely love how it turned out! Gold was the best choice! 💯
Love, love, love this navy color. The natural wood on the inside looks better than if it was painted. The wallpaper really adds to this coffee bar and I love the pulls. A great piece. Thanks Lauren !!
Oh yeah the gold............ squirrel 🐿️!
Glad the doors came off - it looks better without them 😍
I personally think it would’ve worked both ways but definitely feel it looks much more modern without them !
Thanks for watching 😊
Very nice job on this hutch. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. I’m just starting out flipping furniture and then it got super cold. I can’t wait to get my garage ready.
I’d put the wallpaper on a thin (1/4”) sheet of plywood then tack it to the inside (that way it’s always removable, as well)
Those are called door stops Lauren LOL 😉
I think you should take the doors and connect wire to the back of them and hang up and take some chalk paint and paint the glass and you've got an instant beautiful decorative chalkboard for somebody's front hall or you know like a message center! Just trying to help you with ideas!
You did a fantastic job on this piece!!
Hi Lauren, I really enjoy your videos and your work. Well done, don't stop. Itmlools as if your business is growing fast.
I love it, so sad I'm cross country. Great job!!! ❤
Yay - happy to hear Carmen 💕
One day we will solve nationwide just for all our friends across the country! Thanks for watching 😊
Lauren love your work..Especially that table set with bench was fantastic work..Keep up the hard work..
I LOVE it! Glad you kept the shelves natural. They were in good shape and it really adds a lot to the piece. I am sure you will sell it in no time!
I think it turned out great love the deep blue very nice
Love it Lauren...inspiration for me to do the wallpaper for my small bookshelf.
Wall paper. A very sharp exacto blade. Only use one blade for one cut. Snap blade off use new blade always after every cut. Use the manufacturer’s edge to butt up to manufacturer’s edge. Plane ahead so your paper will still match. You could put paper down the center put matches on each side of center strip
Very sleek and beautiful. I’m sure the new owner will love it
Thank you very much 💕
I do believe so as well! Thanks for watching.
When your screws are stripped or when having trouble getting a good grip with the screw and the screwdriver, use a rubber band to put in between and it will give you grip. Kind of like using a rubber mat to open a jar of pickles.
I would suggest painting the edge of the doors the blue color. That way if you have any pieces where there’s a gap you’re not gonna see the wood it will look finished
This piece turned out beautiful. I could see doing something like that. Very nice!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Girl u read my mind, exactly what I wanted to..great job!!
It is just beautiful! If it doesn't sell, take out the lower shelf of the cabinet, and stage it as a bar with some bottles, wine glasses, etc. Home bars are so popular! Love it!
Great idea! I may have to stage it as a bar cart as well! (: Thanks for watching!
In England we call that a Display cabinet and a Hutch is what a Rabbit or a Guinea Pig would live in. So it’s a good job you didn’t send me out to buy you a Hutch.😊❤xx
Just caught one of your videos and am now binge watching. Make sure you ebay or etsy all of your vintage hardware removed from your projects. Sell in lots or the vintage & antique in matching sets. So happy for you! Keep up your journey to be Student debt free.
Idea: for the next time you have to try a big area of wallpaper like that, maybe buy a sheet of thin hard board, cut it to size, stick the wallpaper to that and install it into the hutch.
I love the dental molding.
Great job, it turned out beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🕊️✌️😀😃😄😁🤗
Very nice job. I love it. I like that color blue.🙂
You're a good teacher! Thanks for your help. I'm looking forward to redoing my chalk painted china hutch and convert it to a coffee/tea bar.
You can make the glass doors into Stain Glass if they are glass and not plastic, turn the glass doors horizontal and add eye hooks to each end then connect a fancy chain to hang in front of an inside window.
This is gorgeous! Tip for sticky residue: use essential oil of lemon - good quality (I use DoTerra). It is magical! I am a 2nd grade teacher and use it to get name plate sticker residue off desks. Rub a drop on with your finger and the glue literally rolls off. Then, just wipe with a clean paper towel. You are left with a smooth, nice smelling area!
You should invest in a simple metal straight edge for cutting those things. It's like $6 at art supply stories. And if you put a little painter's tape on where you're going to drill, it keeps the paint from chipping, the wood from splintering, and keeps the surface from getting dirty. Cheap and easy.
First off, I love your channel. As a thought, if you feel like it's within your skill set, the wallpaper application could possibly be made easier if you removed the back panel, apply the wallpaper, then reinstall the panel.
I love the project! I think the warped door was maybe even a blessing.
For the old screws get a thicker rubber band and use it in between the screw and the screwdriver head it will help it grip to them
You did it again. Great job as always. Will give you an A+++. Glad to see you wearing a mask. I started wearing one too. Been doing a couple of pieces for me. Wish could send you a picture for you to grade. Thanks for teaching us.🌹🌹
Thank you! Feel free to send some over to me via Instagram! Would love to see what you've done! (: Thanks for watching!
It is really cute!!! Good job! Try using the wallpaper that you wet on the back rather than peel and stick. Everyone will tell you that peel and stick is easy. But even pros hate it. The kind that you wet on the back allows for more leeway. It is also even cheaper with greater selection. You can line it up once wet and it is wayyyyyy more forgiving allowing you movement without folding and bending your paper. Also a dry eraser is nicer for burnishing because it doesn't scratch the paper.
If you place the one door in a vice for a few days and make sure it's bent in the opposite direction for a few days, it should take the bow out. Any wood bent for a prolonged period will usually return to its shape when bent and held in place by force. A Coffee bar doesn't need doors anyway, so you made the proper move, IMHO.
You put a lot of love into your projects & do such an amazing job as they all come out so beautifully. Love it!
Put a rubberband in the screw slot and it helps the screwdriver grab on & turns easier.
Beautiful love love the color!!
I also remove the back, off a piece. However if the back is more substantial, I measure and cut a thin piece of timber (ply) and I then wallpaper this and stick it to the back. Love your channel Lauren, you are a star X
Good workmanship, it will be at a home soon
This is Beautiful piece 🤩 I would totally buy it to bleach the wood 😍
Something I have seen but not tried. Use a paper punch on a piece of painter's tape. Center the tape over the hole you are filling. Add the filler, smooth, remove tape. This keeps the extra filler off your piece so you only need to sand the extra over the filled area. Hope I explained it well enough. I'm going to try it on my 100+ yr old painted window trim where window hardware was removed.
Big fan love these finishes. Very inspiring
