Hey guys! What do you think of today's flip? Is my client's demands too difficult?!? lol Be sure to check out Aura. I use it for my family and it has stopped so many online threats already! Click link here: aura.com/lemons
Smart kid. What a surprising video and ending reveal. Thank you. You are a great sales woman for this finish. Stay well,all of you. And my best to your finicky client.
Question. I know you live in the Dallas area, how far do people drive to come buy your pieces? I want to try flipping furniture and live a couple hours from your area. I just don’t see things selling for those prices in my area.
I have people drive from OK, Waco, Houston. BUT the channel has helped that. Before I started TH-cam it was mostly 2 hour radius around Dallas which is still good.
VERY interesting, I like it. I wonder what would have happened if you reversed the colors. Green first then whitewash. Since green is the opposite of red, it might have cancelled out the red better, maybe? Now it does look like a terracotta flower pot, really. Lemon Lady, you are getting into the Jonathan territory, with his Annie Slone paint. Very creative.
Thank u!! I tried the green first and it barely did anything to the red. I felt like I wasn’t even getting it to show up. So that’s when I knew it would have to be white washed (stained). It really looks like a moss coating up close. Really fits the hanging ivy vines and greenery in her room. Very outdoorsy! I was surprised it was so good! A $5 steal that’s for sure! And saved from the dump!
I’m surprised by the beauty of this. Quite wonderful! Love that it was for you’re daughter. I’m redoing a buffet for my daughter (legos!) and she wants white and gold but bright new white. She’s very much a moth. Hehehe
Hello! No I did not see any raising of the grain however I allowed for full dry times between all 3 coats of stain. I did not sand between the stain coats, only between the 2 coats of poly once dry. thanks for watching!
My first thought was "this isn't gonna turn out good". You're gonna have bleed-through of the original finish. The green looks like 70's avocado green 🤢. After you finish paint I'm thinking all that work for what? It didn't make sense until the bed in the room and made. Now I get it and it looks beautiful. Great job mamma👍👍
Well, first off, that piece is not from the 70's, it is from the 30's-40's, and is a waterfall art deco bed. It is called waterfall, bcs of the mahogany veneer that wraps around the curved areas, that gives the illusion of a waterfall. Secondly, I think the reason you had such a spotty result with the white stain, was because you wiped it on horizontally, rather than applying it with the diagonal, and vertical direction of the veneer. Your stroke marks with that type of stain are always going to show, so its best to go along with the lines in the grain; with this kind of veneer, I think it might even be best to use a brush... Now, I must admit, when I saw the pop up for this video with that bright green, I was sort of horrified, bcs I thought you were going to paint that beautiful waterfall piece bright green...lol, but it turned out alot better than I ever imagined, since the green stain was so sheer... Way to go on this one!!! You sure fooled me! Great job!
It looks like it was a fun process. I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate the content you’re putting out. I love how consistent you are and how you stick with what your channel is all about. I know I can come to your channel every week and while the content and what you’re up to is always different, I know I’m going to see you do something Furniture flipping related. You’re my favorite channel and I just wanted to share some love. Thank you!
I recently found your channel and I LOVE IT! I learn something with every episode. Keep it up! I am in Texas (between Waco and Ft Worth) so I totally relate when you talk about the Texas heat! Keep putting out that content!! Thanks so much!
Kara, your daughter is a budding interior designer. You know I love you, I’m always impressed with the things you do. That bed frame turned out so adorably well. I love the bedding you chose to compliment the frame. Love your adventurous spirit when it comes to your designs. Letting our children decide can be a risk, glad to see this turned out so well.
I believe you wouldn't have done this colored stain for anyone else than your daughter! Surprisingly beautiful in the bedroom! Thanks so much for sharing
Beautiful artistry! It seems to be exactly what your customers hoped. Amazing warm and chic. I'd like to try this but I'm a sissy when it comes to covering it with the white. Would you kindly refer me to a photo of what it would have looked like had you not applied the whitewash under the final stain?
I have two dressers that I want to give a makeover. I would love to send you pictures of them and get your opinion. I feel a bit intimidated by the process. But I know w once I get going I can continue to flip furniture.
i don't think the green color came through at all. the bed frame looks white washed to me. i am glad you were able to reuse that 1970's bed frame, but my vote for that green stain is a "no".
I have a bed almost identical to this one. I want to repurpose it and this gives me an idea. I checked and the navy blue is available. Thank you!!! Think you can use chair railing to achieve the fluted look? I know you can. I would love to see on a dresser or chest of drawers.
so cool! You will have to tell me how you like the blue. I thought this product was the perfect next thing for those who aren't into a paintwash. It will certainly be more durable over time. Yes, the chair rail will work just fine!
I have to say at first I was not impressed. I was worried about that color. WOW! That turned out so cool. I love it. i have to remember to trust the process. It turned out beautiful.
Kara, This is just my opinion. I work on mostly 1930s and 40s furniture. From what I see, I think the footboard is early 1950s. It has the 'waterfall' detail. This detail and companion veneering went out of style about 1955-58. I noticed the word 'WARD' on the back followed by some numbers. This leads me to believe it was made by the Ward Furniture company out of North Carolina. The began business in the late 1940s and are still in business today. They might be able to date it for you.
Hello! Thank you! It appears to have a date on it that reads 1972 ?? I’m not totally sure as it’s pretty worn off. I’m just glad we saved it. Very pretty piece. Thanks for watching!
@@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture it was the second question after personal info DOB gender…. I never sign up for these questionnaire but trusted your advice because I watch your show. It also tells you do avoid saying you don’t know the answer or you’ll be eliminated. What to do ? I haven’t seen the questions about gift cards yet….
I’m going to look into this Lisa I don’t remember the banking information being there when I registered. I’ve always just picked straight to gift cards. Maybe some thing has changed I’m gonna go look!
Very cool! I love that the “picky client” was your daughter. 😂 When you were talking about how picky the client was and that the color was nuts I was thinking, “I hope the client doesn’t watch this video!” 😂😂😂

😁 it's so true! lol she is so picky!
I had my doubts at first but it came out so pretty.
oh I had mine too! lol

Wonderful!
Looks great. I've never heard of this technique or product.
I really like that effect. Very cool. Beautiful.
Thank you very much!
I love how this turned out!!!
Thank you!!
Very unique!
Bed frame is beautiful and your daughter has a good eye. Very skilled you are and the bed turned out divine. Love from the UK 🇬🇧.
Did the stain raise the wood grain? Did you sand between coats?
Hello! No I did not see any raising of the grain however I allowed for full dry times between all 3 coats of stain. I did not sand between the stain coats, only between the 2 coats of poly once dry. thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing! 💯❣️
You are so welcome!
Looks lovely!
Wow factor!!!! Turned out so beautiful in her room. Never would have thought to white wash first then stain with the green. What a transformation
Thank you! Yes I had to tone down the red a lot more than the thin green stain would allow. It worked really well! Thanks for watching!
My first thought was "this isn't gonna turn out good". You're gonna have bleed-through of the original finish. The green looks like 70's avocado green 🤢.

It looks so pretty! That green color scared me when you first opened it lol. Your daughter has good taste!
😊 thank you! It scared me too! lol
Are you sure 70s? That looks like waterfall from the 40s.
It does once the finish was removed.
I recently found your channel and I LOVE IT! I learn something with every episode. Keep it up!

Thank you so much Janet! It was such a fun flip and looks so adorable in her room! I loved saving that one from the dump!
Ugh! I ❤❤❤ this! Thanks for the new and brilliant tip on stain! This came out very cool, what an eye she has for the cool n funky 🕶😎
I had doubts about this looking good when you first started but I admit it turned out pretty. It looks great with her bedding.
Awesome! Thank you!
Now that is funny. It was for your daughter. She would have been sanding with me. Turn out very pretty.
I had that thought about midway in the sanding process lol thanks for watching!
It's certainly different. I was wondering how it would turn out and I was pleasantly surprised. You do a beautiful job.
Thank you! 😊 it really looks very much like nature moss like in her room especially next to hanging ivy. It’s a good fit!
I believe you wouldn't have done this colored stain for anyone else than your daughter! Surprisingly beautiful in the bedroom! Thanks so much for sharing
I totally agree! Lol however now that I’ve done it…I’ll get requests! No complaints here! It was fun to use!
Beautiful artistry! It seems to be exactly what your customers hoped. Amazing warm and chic. I'd like to try this but I'm a sissy when it comes to covering it with the white. Would you kindly refer me to a photo of what it would have looked like had you not applied the whitewash under the final stain?
I don’t like the two distinctly different sections of wood on the headboard - no fault of yours. It’s like they used completely different veneers??

Lovely green! Great video from NM
Many thanks!
Mocksville NC. That turned out wonderful.
Well… I was a little nervous.. but have great confidence in you..🙂. I was pleasantly surprised!! It turned out great❣️❤️❣️- Jill
@markshaw5711 Thank you Jill! She loves it!
I love the bright green color my kitchen is Tequila Lime with Dark coffee bean cabinets. But I liked yr finished piece.

This turned out so beautiful! Your daughter has great taste like her mama!
Thank you so much 🤗
I gotta say I was thinking you had lost your mind BUT wowsers ..I absolutely love the look...so beautiful 🥰

Not a big fan of the "mossy" look, but 100% fan of your sweatshirt! 😊 ❤
Yay, thank you!
Loved your sweatshirt in your Intro. So many deserving pets are in our shelters! ❤ love your channel too!
Thank you! We are always rescuing some litter critter at this house!
Did the orbital sander leave circles on the headboard?
Very lovely! Like I have said before. You are so incredibly talented!!
@angieowens3077 Thank you! I really appreciate you being here! Hope to see you next time!
Absolutely beautiful. For sure a Timeless piece. Blessed young lady to have you for her Mom.
Aww thank you! So sweet
That is really cool, I've never heard of cottage core. It turned out great. I just might have to try that one day.. ❤
Thank you so much! I appreciate you tuning in! Hope to see you next time!

@@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture Richard is right, it's definitely from the 1940s or early 50s. That's when the "waterfall"design furniture was made.
Lovely, flat out lovely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm wondering why you don't use the surfprep sander for all the sanding? I don't have one, but I assumed they were the best for all sanding.
They are great for edges and molded areas. The orbital sander covers more area quicker.
Oh, ok. Thanks for answering. Love your channel!
I'm well over 3/4 of the way through and it's junk... Yuck... 🤢
Aww glad my client liked it!
@@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture me TOO. now that I know it was for your young child, I feel a tiny bit better... 😂
Stunning!
Thank you! 😊
Green tones down red. Looks great.
I loved that little bed frame & loved the color! Nice job!
Thanks so much! 😊
Loved how it turned out!!
Madam, your work is really amazing.
Thanks a lot 😊
How fun! I have a French provincial piece that I am going to try this on. Thank you for your content.
You are so welcome! I really want to try this in more colors. Really cool product concept.
I don't see any color at all
Question: prime opinion ask banking info ? Who I bank with all banks ? Why
Hmmm I don’t think I gave them mine. I think I just chose the gift card option. I use them for my Dunkin’ runs :) Hope that helps!
