Furniture Flipping Teacher will be releasing content every Monday & Thursday! Get subscribed and turn on your notifications to receive updates on my journey of paying off student loan debt through flipping furniture on the side! It's as simple as finding a deal on the piece of furniture, refurbishing the piece of furniture, and flipping it for a profit! Through the journey, I am learning the lessons but also sharing what I am learning with you! My goal is to inspire a perspective to see that with action and a need to achieve a goal, there is a way of getting it done!
SEE YOU ON THE FLIP SIDE!
I hope you found this video intentional, inspiring, and informative. If so, get subscribed as content continues to grow and the future gets brighter for us all!

Lauren, I am really loving all these flips! You have such talent and I don’t know how you can do them so quickly and beautifully! Neiman, I am so impressed with your cinematography! Like how you choose to move the camera in and around Lauren and the project she’s working on. ❤❤❤
thanks, Carrie! we make a great team for sure!!
I was totally thinking the same thing!
You and Neiman have gotten so good at your presentations, I think PBS needs to hire both you.
No matter how many times I have added legs to a piece, I still do the woohoo and happy dance when there is no wobble. Makes me so happy to see you do it too. The chest looks fantastic. Great job
Love that 🤣
Keep on woohoo happy dancing my friend!
Thanks for all the support Lorrie!
Instead of using a sharpie to mark where the leg base goes you could also use a small bit of toothpaste to help with the transfer! Similar to the trick for hanging picture frames! I’ve done this and it worked well for me! Great job, keep up the amazing furniture flips!
I was thinking a piece of chalk or pencil lead that could be sandwiched
I was thinking lipstick.
You have great vision. Beautiful. It reminds me of my grandmother’s mid-20th Century bedroom furniture, especially the legs.
Love how much you say “a little tad bit” hehe so cute
Beautiful job! I probably will not be flipping any furniture but so enjoy learning how it should be done. I also enjoy your ideas. Neiman is a sweetheart too. ( you and your mom look exactly alike - I mean that as a compliment)
People really think I’m unusual, but that ivory color is my absolute favorite color, it looks so rich to me ! I love this piece, you did such a great job 👏👏👏
My husband wouldn't ever go that " tad bit higher" because he wanted to ensure returning customers because if someone buys from you at a reasonable price and not an inflated price they are more apt to purchase from you again down the road or send people his way ... and they did. People appreciate the work we put into our hand-made works or as you say, "one of a kind pieces" but also, still want affordable prices. I sell my products at exactly 50% mark up, no more no less ( unless having a special) and I have a great customers. Mind you it isn't furniture but the principle still applies. Best of luck k in the future! You do great work!
Thanks for your thoughts on that pricing comment. That’s the beauty of life and of capitalism. It’s all subjective and contingent upon so many factors.
I respect Neiman and my parents thoughts on my pricing. Neiman has been running his own businesses and pricing things that don’t come necessarily with a blue print for pricing services and such for quite awhile now. His experience is invaluable in that realm. The logic makes sense to me. The world is constantly changing and so is pricing. Today’s price is not tomorrow’s price type of philosophy.
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed 😊
Lorna don't know why you worry you do such a good job. I love watching you. This is a 70 three-year-old soon to be 74 great Grandma, it's my favorite time I don't watch TV I just watch my TH-cam people and you do such a good job, I used to do this. My hands are itchy cause I'd like to get my paintbrush out and do furniture, but I can't I'm too old and too handsome too crippled with authorities. Anyway, I've got a whole house full of my furniture that I did so but you keep up the good work. I love watching you
So happy to see you back to flipping furniture! Love this content!
FYI get a Dremel tool and use the little metal cutting wheel to cut those screws down to whatever length you want, so you don't have to add blocks of wood to the bottom of your piece just to accommodate the stock screws. Once you use one you'll wish you had gotten it sooner!
Yeah, the split wooden piece should be replaced before selling. That leg is going to wobble and is not structurally sound. This can happen to anyone. Otherwise, the project is good. 👍
A oscillating multi tool works too!
I really love your videos. You make it seem possible for people to do this stuff. Your videos are entertaining but also helpful! Thanks so much! This piece is beautiful and you did a great job!
It’s totally possible!
It’s why we try to show absolutely everything - so you can know that it’s a much scarier sounding monster than it actually is when you turn the light on! Breaking down the process you see it’s not so intimidating.
Glad you find entertainment and inspiration in what we do! It’s what we try to spread 😊
Thanks for this Melissa!
Was so excited to see you are refinishing a cedar chest. I love old wooden chests like this. Love the cedar smell, too. Nostalgic for me. I'm still watching.
Oh yes! They are some of my faves! Keep watching I think you'll like the outcome ❤️
Thanks for watching!
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher It turned out beautiful!! I put cedar chips in mine to enhance the cedar smell. I also have Cedar essential oil I douse on those chips and inside the chest, as well. Love that smell!
I said OOops when I saw the bracket board bust
What an education, learning about the legs. Well done!
Lauren, I'm loving the 12 days of Flipmas! And I LOVE the Lane cedar chest. I have a Lane chest that was my mom's. It's 80 years old. I agree that you should have asked more. Whoever bought it got a real good Flipmas deal! Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🎁
I've had this same model of Lane Chest for 40 years in whitewashed pine. Glad I've never had to give it up. I love it just the way it is ❤️
I have a friend that's a carpenter so I learn a lot from them and this is good to make things sturdy
Wow, Lauren. I have been searching and searching for flips of Lane Cedar Chests, and this one just takes my breath away. I have my Grandmother's Lane cedar chest and it has a few problems - including the base but basically not too bad. I will practice on some smaller things first but then I will definitely use these products when I decide to do it. I won't have to worry about selling it because I will pass it on to my daughter. Thanks for sharing your visions and talent!
I love that color and the paint wash. I think I would have done the legs to match the top. But it's absolutely beautiful.
I thought about it but I liked them natural 🤗 thanks for watching!
I was thinking the same thing. White wash like the top.
Besides your projects. You can be fun to watch😊
This is beautiful, so midcentury modern. These chests are so practical for blankets or winter sweaters.
I am so happy you are showing us so many flips, you inspire me to take chances on old furniture
You can do it! Go for it!
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher ❤️
thanks for teaching us so much, i have one just like it, so 2023 get ready❤🎄
This is one of your biggest transformations, and I LOVE it!!!
Liking this series a lot. Thinking out (and sharing) is so helpful. Could also fill in the grooves on the side for a more updated look.
Am glad to see you doing monochromatic look. Last night a flipper from CA popped up and monochrome is popular there. Market Place there also has great prices and tons of MCM.
If you contact Lane they will provide a new and legal lock.
Beautiful end product
Love the colour!! Great job Lauren :)
Such a lovely color! I love the changes you made, and the wash on top. Well done!
It’s such a pretty color! I’m in love 😍
Thanks you thank you!
This looks so good Lauren. Congrats on a job well done!
Do you ever worry about cure time of about a week or more before selling? When I paint a piece and and it sells right away I worry about paint scraping off in their truck or trunk if the paint's not really hardened enough. Beautiful Hope Chest!!
This redesign was a ton of work!! I'm a Furniture Artist, but I stay away from pieces that need this much work as I know that's not my skill set. You're amazing!! (I think you need to factor in the amount of time you spend on a piece for pricing, but that's just my opinion 😊) Thank you for sharing! 🇨🇦 💖
LAUREN, SUCH A BEAUTIFUL TRANSFORMATION.
Lipstick works really well for marking where you need to drill.
I wished I lived there… I would buy that… been looking for a cedar chest for some time now… great job.. love it.
The small ones are great for a coffee table or the end of the bed . Beautiful ♥️
Love the way it turned out. Just a little tip for puttying those holes,if u leave a little hill of putty sticking up it won’t sink and then u will just have a little raised dimple to sand off. Most of the time u won’t have to fill hole again. Good job
Just an idea for you... you might try using nail polish to make a small dot on the leg bracket instead of a sharpie. It will stay wet longer and transfer easier than the sharpie.
You totally inspired me to paint my coffee table. This is my first piece. ❤
just thought about it I did the same thing taught school and painted furniture on the side extra $$$
Awesome flip, you are quite the carpenter!
I have a cedar chest over 120 Yrs old. Hand made by family.
my great uncle made mine! excited to keep it forever! 🤗
Hi cindy love u
Love this channel
I love watching your videos/flips, you both do amazing work! Just a thought, instead of using the sharpie to mark the holes, use an old lipstick.
I came up on your TH-cam channel about three weeks ago I like that you take it slow and know what you’re doing and show others how to do it and not just buy a piece of furniture and spray it and sell it or paint it with a paintbrush and sell it keep up the good work
Welcome aboard! Thanks so much for your kind words! Glad you enjoy!
I love it. It's a beautiful piece of furniture. The only thing I just can't get my head around the screw on legs. Apparently I am in the minority seeing as how it sold so quickly.
I'm going to have to rehab my own 42 year old Lane cedar chest especially after the moving company tossed it off the truck and broke that Early American trim piece that are the legs. This gives me hope I can fix it.
I love watching your videos and how your pieces come out looking beautiful!
Looks so much better, good job.
Beautiful job.
I have that chest. I got it has a senior in 1985. We called it a hope chest.
One thing that stumped me was you took off the hardware, you filled the holes, then you put trim on it and gave it the appearance of having drawers.
Looks great! You have much more patience than I do! Lol
Outstanding video-enjoyable/instructive on so many levels! Thank you you are a great teacher👏
I really love how this turned out!
Love this!
That would make a great TV stand.
Love it! Really like the color Lauren!
I love what you did to that cedar chest. It looked really beautiful. I too thought that you listed it pretty cheaply but you sold it and that’s what matters. Good for you. Continued success in your business.
Thank you! 😊
It's beautiful Lauren
thank you, Mary!
Yes, ALL old Lane Cedar Chests were deadly. If inside, you can’t get out. Lane provides replacement locks for free. The serial number on the bottom of the chest, when reversed is the exact date the chest was manufactured. Mine was made in 1944.
It turned out beautiful. I wish you would have painted the back.
Well done Lauren, looks so good.
Beatiful job Lauren. I love the color!!
Looks awesome 😊
A delight to watch...!
Great job 🎉🎉you always put your stamp on each piece
Oh I love this flip!!
Beautiful
Looks so beautiful! ❤️ Good work! 😉
thank you!!
Lauren how did you secure the crack in the front leg? Did you white wash the legs as well? Nice finish you chose! Thank You!
Beautiful transformation
This is awesome! I think my mom bought mine in the 90's for like $500 bucks...it used to be a tradition (or maybe just in my fam) to buy a HS graduate a new cedar chest. So I agree w/ Mom and Neim's that it should have been more because it is a beauty AND a quality piece.
My parents gave me mine for HS graduation in 1976. It’s been with me for every move since then. It’s currently at the foot of my bed holding quilts.
@@vickypatterson SAME HERE!! I got mine in 92 and it has been thru like 8 military moves and at the end of my bed now :) it does look a bit dated but it was popular at the time it was purchased and has tons of meaning to me!!
Next Lane chest you get look under the piece and read the manufacture's numbers backwards-- that's the date it was made.
I’ve never seen someone make a paint wash with an all in one type paint, only regular latex paints or chalk paints.
Good job.
love it
Hey Lauren, I love all your videos, and I'm starting down my own flipping journey with making doggie beds. Quick question, what brand are your cute knit overalls?!
Just a little tip… use a dab toothpaste for your marker when lining up your angled legs. 😉
You are so creative and have a good eye for design I really like your ideas.
thank you so much!
So cool!!! Great job!
Love this! I have a lane Cesar Chest ( normal size😜) and have been wanting to do something with it. Thanks for you inspiration. Love your videos.
Hey Lauren, love your channel. Cute as a bug... I don't know if you are aware of a product called Durhams Rock Hard Water Putty,; it's like bondo but is water based and has a long open time. I've thought that it would work on several projects that you've done, but didn't want to tell you your business. Keep up the good work! Best of luck with your channel.
I love all your flips. Please take into consideration the time that you spend flipping these pieces. This piece was sold for a very low price. Neiman you do a great work too.
Looks beautiful Lauren. I have a question though, the wood splitting on the block for the legs does that affect the integrity of block?
no it wont, i made it secure with the brad nails 😊
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher ah OK cool thanks!
I'll admit I cringed so much when I saw that split. A little bit of pre-drilling would have prevented that.
We've been following you guys since day one! Love everything! We were wondering...Now that your student loan is paid off and AirBnB is almost done, what are your next financial goals with your flip profits? If you don't want to share, that is ok. I just know your story inspired us to hunker down and pay off our rental properties one door at a time.
Looks amazing!
LOOKS GREAT
Wonder why don't paint back of cedar chest? Think I may have missed reason? Super nice flip.
Great job!!
Thank you 😊
never thought angled legs
I have a chest from the same company redid it about 2 years ago
I like this particular flip because I have an old (from 1968) Lane cedar chest too. Unfortunately, I had some water in my basement this summer that I wasn't aware of for several days (I don't go to the basement every day) and the base underneath the chest proper (no legs, just the base) was warped/damaged by the wet carpet underneath it. Note: This is why I HATE the idea of carpet in a basement rec room! I think tje cjest would look good with mid-century mod legs on it as the style is otherwise sleek/modern. I have never "flipped" a piece of furniture in my life, but I have painted a few wood kitchen chairs and a couple of side tables. The rest of the chest is in pretty good condition other than a deep scratch on the top, that can be filled in with wood putty and I think just restained (I'll try it anyway). I like the wood look, not into painting something that otherwise is still in very good condition finish-wise. You gave me an idea with adding the legs to your cedar chest make-over. I just have to get over my fear of screwing up bigly!
Congratulations Lauren on a job well done. You will figure out the pricing soon. Its a beautiful piece.
Wow turned out beautiful 🤗💕
Thank you! Cheers!
I've watched so many of your videos Lauren and LOVE what you do. With that said, I have a Cedar Chest I want to paint (which you've given me confidence to do) but the cedar has "knots" on the exterior (character) but I'm concerned it will look odd with a solid paint over it and draw attention to those texture spots. Should I try to fill/sand or just go with it? Help!!!
Beautiful! Where’d you get all your overalls? They are so cute!
Curious why you didn't paint the back of the cedar chest? I've got to do something similar to my old Lane Cedar Chest!! Thank you!!
What the heck?
That wood block split!
I was skeptical, but darned if you didn't have a great idea.
I love when it all comes together 😍
I enjoy watching your flips. However, I have come to realize I have "old outdated furniture"! Two of the pieces you have worked on recently, I have in my bedroom. One was purchased at an auction, the other was purchased new. Now my dilemma is, do I keep everything as is, or do I flip six pieces? I am 71 one years old and do pretty well, but I don't have the energy I had 20 years ago.
