Just a suggestion, but I too an shorter in statuer woman. I had to retire this year due to back and shoulder issues. After months of rehab, I'm better now, but I am careful not to over extend myself to cause strain on myself. So i noticed that your work bench is a bit high for you. A working bench that is able to rise up or lower depending on the piece you're working on would be easier on your back and shoulders. Just a thought. ❤😊 I had a cedar just like the one you're working on. I had to sell it when I moved, but it was nice to see you redo this piece. Thank you!❤😊
You need a paint trolley like Hair dressers have that fold them around when they’re dying hair. I cringe every time I see you prepping paint on other furniture. I’m worried something is going to get damaged. Love seeing you back flipping furniture the shop is a great achievement but nice to see the grassroots still there. Wish I was local to come to one of your classes, but might be a bit of a trip from Scotland😊
Tears of joy right now! Seeing the sale at the end without a lot of effort is exactly what I have been praying for! Congrats! And YES! THE BEST IS YET TO COME! THANK YOU for showing how to refurbish AND keep some of the original history of the piece… a little ding here and there… a little chip here and there… REALLY adds character to the piece and PRESERVES THE HISTORY! You are a great teacher! I recently had my circa 1880s Dry Sink/Wash Basin restored. The oak wood glows now and isn’t dead looking. The restorer kept the burn marks in the back of my piece, she kept some of the dings and dents! I seriously have been smiling so hard for the past several weeks my face hurts! You two are amazing and I’m predicting 2024 is going to be a Banner Year for you! CONGRATS! 💕 B~}🙏
I appreciate the beautiful effect of distressing, but, distressing distresses me. 😊 Probably because I have had that kind of furniture for 50 years- didn't mean to. Lol.
Glad to see my favorite couple do their best again. The shop is pretty impressive as is this comeback to flippa. Thank you both with work, photography and calm excellence and di😊xy belle
The Hot glue mold is genius! I have a chewed molding on a piece that I am about to restore. I thought I was going to have to replace the entire molding piece. Now I can preserve more of the integrity of the original wood by using your hack! Your videos are awesome. Loving y'all's journey❤
So happy to see you flipping furniture again, and you're doing a favorite of mine, a cedar chest. I love cedar chests, the smell, the nostalgia, and the history of them as hope chests for girls and brides. I store linens and blankets in mine with cedar wood chips for extra cedar smell. The grey one you refinished looks great. I like that it has legs, too. Very nice.
That cracked pepper does have pizazz in it so it’s not just flat black color. I love the stain color on top with it, too. Every time I see a finished piece from you my eyes do this 🤩! Congrats on everything. You work so very hard; you deserve to prosper.
Just beautiful! I fell in love with the Cracked Pepper colour when you were painting all the interior doors. It really is stunning on a piece of furniture and that cedar chest turned out wonderful. Congrats!!!
I have my Lane cedar chest from 1969 that I’ll be painting in a couple of weeks. My studio isn’t finished yet so I’m not able to start til studio is completed. Am excited by your inspirations.💕💕💕💕
I’ve had a little break from flipping too, and it feels so good to be back! Love watching you along your journey from paying off the school debt all the way through to the store opening. Congratulations to you both-so inspiring!!!
I wondering if, to release the hot glue, rather than an oil which might be hard to get off completely to have the paint/primer still, if you used a non-stick cooking spray? Maybe that would be a lot easier to remove itself after?
I think it's that a level of commercialism got added that we're not used to. She's great. The camera work and editing is great. But what was formerly "Genuine thanks, XYZ company!" Just became a commercial. I believe they can find the way back to where they give more content than commercials. They just crossed the line to it. Success is hard. They can manage it.
I thought your excitement about you selling your first piece from your opening store, as I just open mine I got so excited it was like happy tears, and I felt what you felt, that turned out beautiful by the way, congrats!
I love the color and it was a beautiful piece to work on. My only complaint is you didn't paint the back of it. 9 times out of 10 a piece like that will be against a wall. But now you are 100% restricted to do that. It doesn't seem like that much more effort to paint the whole piece. I have seen some of your other projects where the underside of a shelf isn't painted, etc. By not painting all of it; it just feels very DIY versus a professionally done makeover which is really where you are now. Just my 2 cents. I think you do great work with your suggestions and ideas and your video's are very easy to follow.
That looks so good! What a transformation ♥ It's really a shame that you are not as transparent and write with big numbers on the screen the amount of money you got from the piece. I really loved that about your videos.
Beautiful. My touch would be to keep the square tops above the feet, the same wood tone as the top. Also, hand 😊sand paper distress the feet, sided, corners and perhaps lid and front top. You have a great eye. I love your videos. ❤❤❤❤❤
Lauren, I bought three of your wax melts. I, as well as several others with me, think it a great idea to change the labels on your amber jars. We initially thought there was no labeling. The black lettering does not show up well. Just a kind idea, not being critical. 🙃
I' m happy to see you back and flipping furniture for a new video. This color looks gorgeous!! I wonder how you chose the best color for every piece. The only point I wanted to change is the color of the stain for the veneer on top. I prefered a color which is less orange and brighter than "tobacco". That's purely a matter of taste. ❤❤❤❤
a furniture store where you can take it home same day and it’s already assembled is sweet

Thank goodness, I was having withdrawal symptoms. Just love watching your flips, from Sunny Spain.

Remember it’s the journey not the destination! 🎉congratulations 🎈
The chest turned out amazing, the color is beautiful. 🙏🏾🥰💖💯💫
Great piece,when you do what you love it doesn’t feel like work! It’s very validating when someone buys something that you put a lot of love into.
The Hot glue mold is genius! I have a chewed molding on a piece that I am about to restore. I thought I was going to have to replace the entire molding piece. Now I can preserve more of the integrity of the original wood by using your hack! Your videos are awesome. Loving y'all's journey❤
Glad I could help!
Congrats! Your excitement is infectious! I can’t wait to see what awaits you. The chest came out beautiful!
OMG OMG OMG!!! That Color Match was the BEST!!! I think it is going to save me!

Great video..........when you go to do a mold again, spray some 'Pam' first and the glue will pop out better! Love watching the flipping videos
Great idea...non-stick spray!
That came out so beautiful! Loved it and so glad it was a hit with your customer!
Thanks so much! me too!
Great tip about tinting the clear coat! 😊

That really worked! Thanks for sharing. Love seeing you back to flipping. I loved the new store content but this is where you shine😊
🤗
Great job! I have a cedar chest I have wanted to refinish. Now I have another inspiration from you. Thanks, Lauren.
Wonderful! You got this!
Such a Thrill to sell that Beauty from your New Store‼️ Congratulations🥳
That cedar chest was BEAUTIFUL! This was a great video...thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the inspiration I get when I watch the flips you do. You are so creative!!
Love it, and glad you are back to redoing furniture! Yahooooooooooo
That corner restoration is fabulous! Great job, Lauren!

Very nice job. I feel like something is missing though. I don’t know what though, lol.
I think it's that a level of commercialism got added that we're not used to.
She's great. The camera work and editing is great. But what was formerly "Genuine thanks, XYZ company!" Just became a commercial.
I believe they can find the way back to where they give more content than commercials. They just crossed the line to it.
Success is hard. They can manage it.
Thanks for taking the time to share your talent with us! Beautiful job!!
I could so furnish my whole house in just your store.
🎉🎉🎉🥇🏆⭐️The first of many!! Congratulations!!! And your results are always beautiful! God bless!!🙏🏼🕊️🎉💥
I thought your excitement about you selling your first piece from your opening store, as I just open mine I got so excited it was like happy tears, and I felt what you felt, that turned out beautiful by the way, congrats!

This chest is really very beautiful and light and full of life!! I hope you make a handsome profit today!!
Best wishes to you! 🥰❤️😭❤️😩🤐😷
Wasn't sure when you started but WOW! It looked GREAT!
Fixing damaged corner use baby powder for a quick release of your mold. Beautiful Work !!
It was great to see you creating again! The piece turned out really nice.
You deserve all the success Lauren! Beautiful work! I’ve enjoyed watching your videos and growth over the years, so inspiring for my journey. ❤️
Dixie Belle’s color lab is super. I didn’t realize you could match colors from other paints. Great tutorial!
Yes you can! glad you enjoyed, Liz!
So pretty !!! I’m so happy for your new store 👍. ❤ Love seeing all your accomplishments !!!
So happy for you guys. This is going to be a huge success .❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for a flipping post. So much more interesting than the rehab etc.
Beautiful! So happy for you!!
I've been missing the flipping! Yay!
THATS SOOOOOOO COOL!!!!!!!

Love that color! Well done on that corner!!
You are doin it! Congrats !
I love it! you did a great job incorporating the beautiful colour of the wood and the new colour!
Turned out great!! So love to see you back flipping. I missed you ❤️
Great to see you flipping again! Question, with the older furniture, do you ever test for lead?
That's amazing, you both totally deserve to be very proud of all that you have achieved so far, can't wait to see the next project 😊x
Beautiful. My touch would be to keep the square tops above the feet, the same wood tone as the top. Also, hand 😊sand paper distress the feet, sided, corners and perhaps lid and front top. You have a great eye. I love your videos. ❤❤❤❤❤
nice job, great color , lookin' great , always
Congratulations, keep up the great work

I'm glad to see you flipping furniture again.wish you a merry Christmas,and a happy New Year
❤🎉 Ace job you guys!! 🏴
Wow❤. Awesome, Congrats.. awesome flip🎉
Thanks for a very informative video. I love the piece!
Girl! That is an amazing hack! Thank you.
Awesome girl!!!
So Beautiful!!!
Beautiful work ❤
It looks amazing!❤
Yay, hi !! Nice to see you.
I absolutely love this piece!!! This would make an amazing bench at the foot of my bed.
I' m happy to see you back and flipping furniture for a new video. This color looks gorgeous!! I wonder how you chose the best color for every piece. The only point I wanted to change is the color of the stain for the veneer on top. I prefered a color which is less orange and brighter than "tobacco". That's purely a matter of taste. ❤❤❤❤
Love it!!!. You are so inspiring. Thank you.
This could be Four-nirs signature color!
love the idea!
So happy for you
You are a very sweet person Lauren! ❤
Beautiful job too
Finally ... Happy dance !!!!!
