Glad you chose to paint the night stands navy. You are running a business … provide a product that the customer wants and will sell quickly! Great job! The night stands are beautiful!
I love the way the last night stands look, I’m with you! When you run a business you need to appeal to the most people. You know your market. So good job and continued success!
I’d paint them navy, all day, all night. Full disclosure though : it’s my favorite color. These came out fantastic. 💙💙 Set #3 is my absolute favorite. WOW!!!
You are glowing. I know that sometimes what may seem like the reality on the internet isn't always true, so I hope you also feel glowy too. You are so talented and have SO much to offer. Hope you are doing well. 💗
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher yay! SO glad to hear that. There's definitely a 'lightness' about you and was hoping it was indicative of how you were doing and not that you were just 'fakin' it till ya made it' ;) We all want the best for you :)
What I really liked about the 1st set were the doors and the stained top with the mudslide stain. The 2nd set was like a plan “B” given that the 1st painted color didn’t fair so well for sales. I really liked the hardware which brought up its look. This recent makeover is awesome! The bamboo matt lines are a great addition. I love the rounded feet, also the hardware was the perfect choice to wrap up the navy look. Personally, I love navy colors so to choose my number 1 pick, I’d have to go with this 3rd flip. They all turned out great!
Navy & gold are popular colors right now. Christmas is coming so why not have a Christmas open house with some items marked down to sell. Decorating the shop for Xmas would be beautiful and homey.
Beautiful! Agree with sticking with colors that sell. I live in FL and I feel like when I paint in coastal blue colors they sell really fast. White also sells, but the last 3 pieces I’ve sold were coastal blue.
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher I follow Kacha a lot. She’s really into painting furniture, almost ALWAYS adding gold in some form or fashion. She and her husband, Carlos live in Oakport(?), Maine, where she has a store. Personally, I’m more of a purist, most often opting to stain a deep rich brown. No orange or yellow for me please, and don’t come at me with pine if at all possible. LOL!!! There’s another interesting TH-cam channel, Flipping Drawers. He has practically performed miracles on pieces most would relegate to the fireplace. You take care! BTW…I miss seeing Neiman/Neeman. He seems to be a really good, nice guy .
These turned out beautifully. Hard to decide as I love furniture period! So, that being said, I love them all. I do think they are perfect for a young fellows room as they don't have the extra look that the other two have. These are perfect with the golden/brass looking handles. Perfect for anyone. I love that you started this channel........I wish you posted every day actually.......LOL A bit difficult however. ;-) Keep up the good work! Blessings
OMG that is awesome that they sold so fast, I like set #3 for me its the gold hardware. The people where I live like the gold hardware the best right now.
My kitchen is Indigo, a dark navy with white work top. I’ve already painted my bedroom furniture soft white, about fifteen years ago. After seeing this flip I think I might do my furniture this dark navy. Love your work 👍🏴
Choosing a favorite is difficult. I like the wood tops but the simpler lines in #3 makes it my choice. I'm curious about your store. I know a vehicle ran through the front window. It appears to have been repaired. Are you open for business again? If not do you mind sharing about the delay?
thanks for watching! I am not sure I will be opening the store again. There has been a lot going on behind the scenes that I'm not ready to share yet. I'll still have the space for at least a while longer because I really enjoy working here!
These turned out gorgeous! I loved the other 2 sets as well. Of course, blue is my favorite color, so you can't go wrong there with me. I like it when you leave the top wood. However, on this set, I was kinda hoping you would leave the feet wood 🤷♀️ Great job!
I feel it depends on the furniture piece, and if it would look good with the design. There is something out there for everyone, but that being said you can ride the trend until it fades because business is still business. Since you are your own boss though, the sky is the limit. If you like an unusual color do it, part of the attraction of the piece is your artistic vision, it tells a good story and people will be drawn to that.
I wonder if you could’ve put a dissolver behind those pieces to be able to remove them easier or maybe a heat gun to soften the glue? Beautiful pieces and the bamboo worked out great 😊
Lauren, I'm curious if you list your furniture at a higher price now that you are out of a store front vs when you were selling out of your home? Obviously you have higher overhead now, but do you find customers are more willing to pay higher prices picking up from the store than from your home?
i think i have raised my price a little bit mostly due to my skill level increasing, not really bc of the location of pick up. people don't even know its a storefront until they get here when they purchase off of FBMP (:
Hi Lauren, Maybe a couple vlogs ago you used paint that already had the primer in it, so that you didn't have to do primer before the paint like you did in this amazing flip. What would be the reason for not using the combo primer/paint on this one?
this paint also has it built in but its really just a bonding primer, not a stain blocking primer. i pretty much like to use primer on every piece even if the pant has it built in (:
Do you ever put in drawer stoppers? A lot of the old furniture I get the drawers tip and can come all the way out with nothing to stop them. I have added drawer stoppers to them but wasn’t sure if that’s necessary on furniture that didn’t have them to begin with. Have you noticed if your customers care or not? And they came out gorgeous! I like this set the best.
I’d do a deep forest green (very dark)…. But I love green so… 😂 Does navy sell better than black? And I totally agree: these are the best navy nightstands of the three. I really like the pulls.
Beautiful! I would have gone with the navy. I can’t pick a favorite, but I think it might be the middle picture - drawers with silver hardware. But really, they are all gorgeous. ❤
You're a gem teacher! Painting the back and sometimes even the bottom making a piece much more versatile in many rooms as I am seeing more on interior design shows. My house is very small so pulling a night stand(s) into the room as a dual use end table or coffee table for guests sort of thing. I'm using a single lower kitchen cabin as my center kitchen island, 24x18. When I say small I mean small.😂
Like the bamboo you added! Personally, I prefer the wood top on the nightstands; however, all three sets are beautiful ! It was a very relaxing video to watch. You look very pretty, Lauren! Thanks for keeping your channel entertaining! 🤗❤️
I LOVE your tutorials!!! When you list on marketplace, do you have a business page you put all of your furniture on, or do you list under your personal FB page (under your name)? Thanks for what you do!!!
the update with the shop is that it is still closed. there has been a lot of changes behind the scenes that I'm not ready to share yet and I probably won't be opening the shop again. i'll be keeping the space for awhile longer tho cause I love working here! I have decided not to do Flipmas this year. ):
#3. Really like the hardware on the navy, and love the navy color, (favorite color, and darker the better, but this shade is very nice)My nightstand is white w a fake wood top that is a dark grey, don’t like the top because grey is everywhere and it’s hard to see things I’ve placed on top of the stand. I may paint it white so I can see better.
I wouldn’t recommend the super finish max. I bought it twice and had to return it. The tips ended up stripping out and cleaning was hard. On Amazon it says it’s a frequently returned item. I ended up getting the Wagner Flexio and it’s well worth the extra money. It’s more beginner friendly too.
🤯I didn't know a synthetic version of BIN existed! That's a game changer for spraying it without having to do serious clean up in the spray gun!! 🥳 Thanks for the tip!
Navy Blue is super popular right now. The darker, the better. I feel like dark, moody colors are having a moment right now. The 1st set is my favorite. This set is a close second, and the middle set is a close 3rd. I love all 3 of them. There's another flipper I watch who typically lists her nightstands for $600-$700. I don't know how she gets so much. She's in the Dallas area. I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I don't think I would get much more than $500 on Marketplace unless they were certain brands.
Hey Lauren, see in my area these wouldnt sell very quick. My peops here are all about beige, greige, etc. so i have to stick to that color scheme so yes, absolutely do what the market dictates. Thats just part of running a business. But I do like the navy personally
Your use of bamboo & the hardware created a classic set of navy nightstands! Since they sold so quickly, tells you that you could have listed them at least $20- 40 higher😊 Very nice!
Glad you chose to paint the night stands navy. You are running a business … provide a product that the customer wants and will sell quickly! Great job! The night stands are beautiful!
Normally I would agree, but I really think her business is TH-cam. Her side hustle is flipping furniture.
so true!
thanks for watching!
I like this set as well. They are very streamlined and minimalist
@@jasonisbell7181She paid all her student loans off by flipping furniture. This was before her channel had decent numbers.
Agree, beautiful color😊🌸
I love the way the last night stands look, I’m with you! When you run a business you need to appeal to the most people. You know your market. So good job and continued success!
I'm so glad you liked them!
I love #3. The pulls with the navy color are absolute perfection.
appreciate it! (: thanks for watching!
I’d paint them navy, all day, all night. Full disclosure though : it’s my favorite color. These came out fantastic. 💙💙 Set #3 is my absolute favorite. WOW!!!
Love the hardware and navy color. The bamboo accents are brilliant.
Thanks for watching! I really enjoyed adding those accents.
Wow girl, you’ve lost a lot weight! You look great ❤ the night stands turned out great like always! God Bless.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the support!
🎉🎉🎉 looking great! @@FurnitureFlippingTeacher
You always look great to me. Hope you are in good health.
I like all of them but I agree #3 is my favorite. Great job Lauren. As always they look beautiful.
thanks so much! I am on the same page as you!
Any smart business person would know their clientele and give them what they want❤
glad I'm smart (:
Navy is beautiful, the gold look of the hardware makes a big difference. The #3 is the prettiest
appreciate you!
You are glowing. I know that sometimes what may seem like the reality on the internet isn't always true, so I hope you also feel glowy too. You are so talented and have SO much to offer. Hope you are doing well. 💗
I am doing well, thanks for your support (: i do feel glowy!!!
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher yay! SO glad to hear that. There's definitely a 'lightness' about you and was hoping it was indicative of how you were doing and not that you were just 'fakin' it till ya made it' ;) We all want the best for you :)
Just another tip- You can add a little water to the empty DB Silk Paint jar to get every single drop. Then the jar can be used for other things.
That’s a great idea! I’m always looking for ways to use up every bit of paint!
Amazing flip! I love that color. Set 3 is by far my favorite.
thank you!
They look great. The warm hardware with the deep blue is a great contrast. God bless you.
agreed! thanks so much!
These turned out great! I love how you "fixed" them with the leftover materials you had on hand! Those side pieces with the bamboo turned out great!
Lauren I sooo enjoy watching your channel. The navy ones you did previously were gorgeous! Keep up the good work. You are just such a cutie!
aww! thanks! I am so glad to have you here! thanks for your support! (:
Is there a standard wait-time (cure-time) before you are willing to wrap a completed piece with plastic and/or a shipping blanket?
I liked the color on the 4 piece set the best.❤
so great that your hunch turned out! Spot on! These turned out SO well! Love that shade of blue.
thanks 🙏🏼 glad I did blue!!
Lauren, You never disappoint. I like #3's tone the best.
aww thanks! I appreciate your support!
Definitely 3. They are beautiful!
You make it look so easy! Beautiful
Gorgeous! Love the 3rd set best. However, they all came out beautifully.

They look beautiful ! Wish I lived closer, would definitely buy them. All nice but love #3. Glad they sold so fast !!!
I'm so glad you liked them!
Oooh I love the blue! Those gold handles, super ❤! I always look forward to your videos Lauren. Your creativity is appreciated here in South Africa.
aww thanks! i appreciate your support! thanks for watching!
This one is my favorite of the three. Just beautiful!
They turned out beautiful
thank you!

Navy & gold are popular colors right now. Christmas is coming so why not have a Christmas open house with some items marked down to sell. Decorating the shop for Xmas would be beautiful and homey.
great ideas! the shop is not currently open (:
Beautiful! Set # 3 is my fave.
So happy for you, great to have a quick sale.
I appreciate the support! that is so true!
Loren, you absolutely know what you’re doing, they are beautiful! Great job
I appreciate the support!
Love the color on #3. That is the color I was looking for to use on an antique buffet that I have been using as a dresser.
It’s a great color, I’m sure it will look amazing!
You are so clever covering the ends. Looks amazing! They may all be navy, but they are different. They look amazing.
Gorgeous!!! This color is amazing my favorites in order 3,1,2
thank you!
Love the music in this video, upbeat but calming at the same time.
Harrison is killing it with music choice!
They came out beautifully!
Beautiful! Agree with sticking with colors that sell. I live in FL and I feel like when I paint in coastal blue colors they sell really fast. White also sells, but the last 3 pieces I’ve sold were coastal blue.
It’s so interesting to see how different areas have different styles! thanks for watching!
Wow that colour is amazing ❤
isn't it?!
Love the navy color and they look great Lauren!! 🥰🥰🥰
I agree, the navy color is gorgeous! 😊
This blue is beyond beautiful 🥰
The hardware the color is freaking awesome ❤great job
Thanks! I’m happy with how it turned out.
@ very welcome!!..it looks fantastic
I’d go with a dark red, like crimson, adding dark wax to give the antique look. You could add some light gold gilding wax too, but not too, too much!
that sounds beautiful but unfortunately that wouldn't appeal to a large audience for a quick sale. that would be awesome for a custom piece!

I would love to see you do something with a design such as transfers, decoupage, or something.
Set #3 is my favorite ❤️
OMG that is awesome that they sold so fast, I like set #3 for me its the gold hardware. The people where I live like the gold hardware the best right now.
I was so stoked! thanks for watching!
All are lovely but I like #3 the best. Great work!
My kitchen is Indigo, a dark navy with white work top. I’ve already painted my bedroom furniture soft white, about fifteen years ago. After seeing this flip I think I might do my furniture this dark navy. Love your work 👍🏴
I agree you should stay within your market, give the people what they want 😊
exactly! glad i made this choice!

some fun songs in today's video!
#3 They should sell quickly. i liked the detail you added to the sides. The pair is very timeless and transitional . Great job.
they sure did! (: thanks for watching!
These turned out gorgeous! I loved the other 2 sets as well. Of course, blue is my favorite color, so you can't go wrong there with me. I like it when you leave the top wood. However, on this set, I was kinda hoping you would leave the feet wood 🤷♀️ Great job!
I'm so glad you liked the navy set! It's definitely a favorite of mine too.
I love the color very updated
At the beginning when you said you picked a diff color I was like, NO! Go blue. So glad you did, they're gorgeous and my fav of the three.😊
I’m so glad I went with the navy too! I knew it was the right choice.
I feel it depends on the furniture piece, and if it would look good with the design. There is something out there for everyone, but that being said you can ride the trend until it fades because business is still business. Since you are your own boss though, the sky is the limit. If you like an unusual color do it, part of the attraction of the piece is your artistic vision, it tells a good story and people will be drawn to that.
You’re right, the possibilities are endless! right now I am seeking out quick sales so i guess blue was the right color!
I wonder if you could’ve put a dissolver behind those pieces to be able to remove them easier or maybe a heat gun to soften the glue? Beautiful pieces and the bamboo worked out great 😊
I love that color. I’m trying to figure out what color will sale in my area.
I think it's all about finding what your local market wants!
The 3rd set is my favorite also. The blue is beautiful and the hardware compliments it. You now have a new sub❤
Thanks so much! I love that blue too! 💙 welcome to the channel!
Lauren, I'm curious if you list your furniture at a higher price now that you are out of a store front vs when you were selling out of your home? Obviously you have higher overhead now, but do you find customers are more willing to pay higher prices picking up from the store than from your home?

Those bamboo strips really work and the colour is stunning - as always well done Lauren 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💕💕 These are my favourite so far!

right now I am only open by appointment

Gorgeous! Just wondering if a top coat might be warranted as they will get a ton of use especially on the top?
I’d do a deep forest green (very dark)…. But I love green so… 😂
Does navy sell better than black?
And I totally agree: these are the best navy nightstands of the three. I really like the pulls.
right now i have been finding that navy is selling better than black for nightstands...at least in my area!
Very nice! Love the transformation!
Thanks! I really enjoyed making these pieces!
The end tables look so good. You look so pretty today.
awe (: thanks on both accounts! ❤️
Beautiful! I would have gone with the navy. I can’t pick a favorite, but I think it might be the middle picture - drawers with silver hardware. But really, they are all gorgeous. ❤
I'm so glad you liked them! 😁
Absolutely love the navy you painted with on this set. I have used this silk paint previously and love it 💙💙💙
It's such a pretty color, right? I think it's one of my favorites! 💙

Have you ever done a old desk into a kitchen cart, I always wanted to try it,
i haven't done that type of project yet (:
I absolutely love all three ..the last set is gorgeous and I really think you should've gotten 500 for them both!
I LOVE your tutorials!!! When you list on marketplace, do you have a business page you put all of your furniture on, or do you list under your personal FB page (under your name)? Thanks for what you do!!!
Could we get a shop update? Will you also be doing vlogmas this year again? 😊
the update with the shop is that it is still closed. there has been a lot of changes behind the scenes that I'm not ready to share yet and I probably won't be opening the shop again. i'll be keeping the space for awhile longer tho cause I love working here!
I have decided not to do Flipmas this year. ):
@ oh darn , didn’t know it was closed. Can’t wait to hear all the updates when you are ready to share.
#3. Really like the hardware on the navy, and love the navy color, (favorite color, and darker the better, but this shade is very nice)My nightstand is white w a fake wood top that is a dark grey, don’t like the top because grey is everywhere and it’s hard to see things I’ve placed on top of the stand. I may paint it white so I can see better.
That’s a great idea with the bamboo. And your weight loss looks great.
Love them all. But set 2 is my favorite.❤
Great job Lauren! 3 is my favorite. So beautiful! 👍✝️
Thanks! Glad you liked this one!
Yeah, set#3 is my favorite
me too! thanks for watching!
I wouldn’t recommend the super finish max. I bought it twice and had to return it. The tips ended up stripping out and cleaning was hard. On Amazon it says it’s a frequently returned item. I ended up getting the Wagner Flexio and it’s well worth the extra money. It’s more beginner friendly too.
Okay I have to be brutally honest. They are ALL my favorite!! 😁
They all are beautiful but my preference is #3.
😊Great job
I love that if I could ever have a different color bed.I would do that collar but nibed is a cherry would wow gorgeous❤❤
🤯I didn't know a synthetic version of BIN existed! That's a game changer for spraying it without having to do serious clean up in the spray gun!! 🥳 Thanks for the tip!
I know, right?! It's a total game changer!
Navy Blue is super popular right now. The darker, the better. I feel like dark, moody colors are having a moment right now.
The 1st set is my favorite. This set is a close second, and the middle set is a close 3rd. I love all 3 of them.
There's another flipper I watch who typically lists her nightstands for $600-$700. I don't know how she gets so much. She's in the Dallas area. I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I don't think I would get much more than $500 on Marketplace unless they were certain brands.
Are you talking about Lemons to Lemonade? She is a flipper in Dallas area. She does good work, too. Her market seems to support higher prices.
thanks for watching! glad you liked all of them so much!
Yes, in different areas, people can afford and will pay higher prices for certain things (:
Hey Lauren, see in my area these wouldnt sell very quick. My peops here are all about beige, greige, etc. so i have to stick to that color scheme so yes, absolutely do what the market dictates. Thats just part of running a business. But I do like the navy personally
It's so interesting to see how different areas have different styles!
Set 1 , but all three is gorgeous
I love number three. I think part of it is the bamboo you added.
Looks great! Love the color
Your use of bamboo & the hardware created a classic set of navy nightstands!
Since they sold so quickly, tells you that you could have listed them at least $20- 40 higher😊 Very nice!
Thanks so much! I agree, I should have listed them higher! i have raise the cost $25 on each set so the next set will be even higher! (:
I really like, but I think it would be really pretty with silver hardware.
Congratulations! I do like the color
Thank you!
Midnight blue!
Have you ever watched Kacha furniture..?? She had her own line now with beautiful results. I love you videos and flips ❤❤❤
