You do such a great job with priming and prep work. I have seen some channels where no prep or minimal prep is done. I am sure their furniture was a disappointment, almost a scam to make quick cash. Your finished product is durable and I am sure will not leave the buyer in despair at money wasted on an inferior job. Well done on all projects, and the man behind the camera deserves a pat on the back also.
prep is VITAL in a good end result! without it it wont hold up over time! thanks for watching!
I really enjoy the content, it's fun seeing enthusiasm and some really creative work. But $2500 for how many hours of work? And with what investment for equipment ahead of time. As a side-hustle, this makes a lot of sense, and as a creative outlet even more so. Totally onboard. But as a self-employed day job, I dont think the numbers are as real as they might be.
How come you never say how many hrs you spent? Your time is worth something too, no?
What a classy production! You are truly an expert in your field! The love and pleasure you get from working on each piece is so apparent! Thanks for all the tips and showing us what products you use. Keep the tips coming so we can oooh and ahhh!
Yes absolutely 👍 agree ❤
I'd really love to see the approximate number of hours worked stated for each piece. Saying something gave you 'profit' of X without considering labor/time is almost meaningless. I like what you do, but would appreciate more insight.
I’d enjoy a time spent total on each piece too
I have watched every single one of your videos since the first one. I even watched all the air bnb ones, even though I have zero interest in property flipping. I was quite happy that you returned to furniture flipping. I don't always like the final results, or the decision on painting or restoring (like the case in point with Heywood-Wakefield dresser), but what I really enjoy, even love, is that your channel is not for the sole purpose of entertainment. It is educational. I have learnt so much and still do. I detest the 30 seconds shorts and do not watch it at all. They serve to entertain, which I totally get, but videos like yours teaches one so much. Thank you for that.
Everything looks 100% better, love your choices . Would be fun at end of video to show them all and give them each a number so we can vote for our favorite one. Just a idea.
great idea! you can absolutely tell us your favorite! they’re each labeled by the day of flipmas 😊
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher Just by the time I got to the end I didn't remember the days, will rewatch it tomorrow. Really loved them all.
Making $2500 from only 7 flips is super inspiring. Great work!
If you. Calculate your time per dollar, what is your estimated profit per hour of labor for these pieces? I know on one item you said you sanded for 8 hours.
Right. I wonder this myself. Only considering material cost to calculate profit is....horrible. I'd really like to see the approximate number of hours spent on each piece mentioned.
The night stands are my favorite pieces. Since Heywood-Wakefield is so sought after I wonder if painting it has devalued its collectability?
The value of a piece of furniture is a) it's utilitarian value on a day to day basis; b) it's durability over the period of time the owner holds on to it; and c) the pleasure it's aesthetic bestows on the eye of its beholder. Those components are invaluable. If a piece of furniture can updated to offer this value across a number of generations then it is priceless. Many 'antiques' were the cheap furniture of the day, especially veneered pieces which were simply a fake hardwood dressing on a piece of cheap maple or fir - a dupe for those who could not afford the real thing. That these pieces are used in present day times is beyond expectation and I don't expect there should be outrage in 3024 when thrifters upcycle the dusty IKEA find in their granny's basement.
I noticed you use the blue sponge to do your topcoat a lot. I used it just recently and it took some of my paint off. I did use chalk paint am I just going over it too many times or is my paint not adhering correctly?
Girl, you just showed me how valuable a dresser I just bought is I didn’t realize that Haywood Wakefield was that great of a brand I paid $30 for this dresser. I’m so excited
what color is that blue on the ikea piece? I want to paint a table with it. Thanks!!
Hello Lauren Ive been binge watching your channel. love all your work. I live in Houston Texas and hope i can get to where you are in my journey of flipping furniture. I believe you are correct that dressers sell more than other pieces. i see a lot of hutches and tables and chairs being thrown out or given away. I think my area just does not value these items that much. Do you know anything about the Houston market? Thanks. keep them coming.
Hi Lauren! Not sure if you'll see this but I was just wondering when you found the time to flip so many pieces while you still had a full time job teaching? I really want to start this, and have already invested in the tools I'll need to get started, but I'm feeling a little anxiety around when I'll be able to squeeze in all the work (I have a 1.5 year old, too). Any insight would be appreciated :)
I always enjoy your videos. Your presentation is very entertaining,. The filming and music top notch. Would love it if you would include how many hours both of you worked on each piece.
Loved the summation of all your flips, but...there seemed to be more music at a greater intensity of...je ne ce qua pas
Instead of painting, I would have stained the Heywood Wakefield a darker color than you did the handles. I think it would have been stunning in original wood grain. I thought the handles came out beautiful.
I'm curious how you pick your colors. I can tell you're going for very neutral colors a lot but why those particular colors and shades? Do you have customers asking for particular shades?
Your pieces are lovely but in terms of profitability?? Profit is what exceeds total costs after you pay yourself, rental, transportation etc into account. But I agree its a wonderful way to spend pent up creative energy and make a good hobby.
Привет из Москвы. Спасибо за твою работу. С удовольствием смотрю. К сожалению в России . Мебель после редизайна невозможно продать😢😢😢😢
I loved all the pieces you did this year for Flipmas. They were all fantastic. We may not all agree on the colors or the process but you sure do give us plenty of inspiration. Love ya !
Are you guys married? I don't see you wearing a wedding band is that because you're painting and working a Lon any of the videos like going shopping? I never see where a wedding man is that mean you're not married? Or you just don't like wedding man's
Awesome work!
Just wondering, why all the cleaning if you're going to sand?
You had that beautiful blue on. And then you covered it with that stupid green what's the purpose
Great work and u make everything so beautiful.
In my area some of your pieces would sell for $600~$1,600.
Each is so amazing. I’m always so impressed what you can do ❤️
Thank you so much!
Как ты красишь внутри шкафа? Чтобы красиво получилось?
I hope your selling that dresser for $650 or just keep it lol
You work so hard!
Sound is fine for me. ❤
thanks for letting me know! 😀 its working for me too!
What was the topcoat used on the top of flip #3?
❤❤️ I love watching the summary of the 12 days of Flipmas!!🎉❤ 🎶 It’s so awesome watching you transform each piece into something so beautiful!! 👏🏼👍🏼 I can’t wait to see watch all you create in 2024! Happy New & God bless!!🎉❤☀️🎶🔥🙌🏽👏🏼🙏🏼🎉🕊️
Your style and process has really evolved over the years. It's wonderful to see those old pieces relieved of their ugly dark brown and orange stains and the natural tones and hues of the timber revealed. You did a wonderful job of the veneered piece given that there is so little to work with. I notice that you referenced three different brands of knot blocking primer across your projects and am wondering if you find any one better than the other, or is it a case that only time will tell?
thanks so much! the Kilz oil based & Bin Shellac based will give you 100% insurance! Boss & Eclipse are water based so occasionally they still allow bleed through with really tough tanins
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher Thank-you so much for that. I can get the Bin here in Ireland so will try it on my project. I'll report back in 15yrs.😄
Can you tell us more about the vacuum system you use with your SurfPrep 3"x4" Electric Ray Sander?
How long did it take to sale?
You Painted Heywood-Wakefield?! Ruined a $2000+ dollar piece. HW finish is hard to replicate but worth way more than $450. Sad day for that piece...
That dresser is worth $3,000. She sold it for $495 and she sold the IKEA dresser for $495. That tells me she doesn't know how to price her pieces accordingly. She's doing volume at low prices to make fast money. If she sold that big black cabinet and waited it out she should of done the same for that Heywood Wakefield piece. Just my opinion.
@theoriginalbamboorollingtip She could of gotten way more money for it!
Great Stuff here! I’ve watched you from the beginning and always enjoy your videos. You’ve come a LONG way Baby‼️
This was excellent and inspiring. I have been doing furniture on and off for years and even taught the basics in classes. But closed my shops as covit hit as I new I could not carry them through. I work as as a private event organizer and chef. I have my own space, and love it. I have stopped and started on furniture but lost my focus and got bored at times. Things like your excellent TH-cam channel have inspired me, so into storage get the furniture out and get on with it. Thank you so much.
WOWWWW 😮 U DID AN AMAZING JOB ON ALL THESE DRESSERS THXS FOR SHAREING KEEP UP THE AMAZING JOB THAT U DO 😊 LOOK FOWARD TO SEEING UR NEXT VIDEO MUCH APPRECIATED N MUCH LOVE ❤
The black cabinet is beautifully done but the stand needs tweaking as it does not look finished with the wood stand on the outside taking the look off it. I do love your vlogs Lauren inmo ❤
congrats on your flipmas projects! I would love to see you do a lacquer project. Any thoughts?
Incredible..
I really love the checkered drawers... perfect for a baby boys room!! but all were well done!
It was great and motivating to see how much profit it you made. It was fun rewatching you do these flips as well
Thanks for such a great recap! Flipmas 2023 was fantastic!
Thank you for this video, I have learned so much👍👍😀😀
Noooooo the sound is gone
Hey! you can't hear anything? is it the whole video or a specific part? I am not having an issue hearing but would like to fix it if its something that can be fixed!
Great job! Beautiful pieces.
How do u know what to list a piece for?
She doesn't price her pieces by their value that's for sure. She stays at a certain price range for her area in Omaha in order to sell the pieces fast.
I know this is a comment to the video you made a year ago but it’s about the dark green “ dipped” dresser… so you asked for opinions on what anyone would do to help it sale. I don’t know what you ended up doing but I was going to say some really sleek 70s modern drawer pulls are even a transfer across the front. Not big and tacky but like the pulls,70 ish and modern was my advice. What did you end up doing? 🫣
I noticed that you used several different kinds of cleaners when prepping these projects: does the type of project determine the type of cleaner you use, or is it just what you have on hand at the moment?
typically what ever I have on hand! I have a personal preference most of the time that I like to match brands across projects when possible. so if I use dixie belle paint, I will clean with white lightning, if I use lilly moon paint, I use their furniture prep, its not always the case cause sometimes I still use simple green or dawn dish soap but it truly doesn’t matter! the most important part is that your piece gets cleaned & rinsed really well!!
You work so hard redoing furniture. Does your husband work there also or does he have a job else where?
we work together! he doesn’t do the furniture but he is our creative director who takes care of content creation, marketing, business aspects, etc!
I've bought three pieces from the thrift store and only paid twenty five dollars each
nice! low buy ins are the best! 🥳
Loved the nightstands the best!
Totally impressive!
Awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🕊️✌️😀😃😄😁🤗
Phew! You're a hard worker!
Where are you located?
I love the two blue ones
Lauren and Hardy 😅😅😅
Wow! Just Wow!!!!
Did you use 1 can of Lily moon opulant on the dipped look for the wilderness green. I have the same size and was wondering if one 16oz can was enough
I used less than half of a 16oz for that!
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher thank you
Of course!
Love it!
Nice job
I enjoyed watching all your flips. They turned out amazing. You are very talented. Good job on all Lauren. 💖
thanks! appreciate your support!
Nice work.
Thank you! Cheers!
"I Flipped 11 PIECES" Counting issues? In the video, you say you flipped 7. 3 are still on the floor. One you gave away. How do you get 11 flips? Anyway, they all look good. Nice job on them. That's how you do it. Looks like you're spending a ton of time on each piece--3-4 coats of paint is super time consuming. If you're really getting $400-$600 per piece, you're lucky. That's top dollar. But here's the problem. You said you made $2,500. Over a month? That's below minimum wage. And you haven't accounted for your store. What's the store costing you, 5k a month? And that was Christmas. Now, it's January and business gets cut in half. How are you making it?
Be honest.
yep we’re making it plus some! we have about 5 or 6 other income streams throughout our biz. the whole point of this is to let people know the possibilities to do this as a side hustle- $2,500 a month would be a pretty great side hustle if you ask me! im not spending 24 hours a day flipping, we have so much else going on too so this is totally doable as a side hustle. why do you feel the need to continuously comment negatively on our videos? we’ve proved you wrong time & time again yet here you are still. you’ve gotten maybe a little more kind but dang. you must find some weird joy in tearing people down. like do you not want us to succeed? why are you still watching our content after 3 years?
also, January biz is thriving! just sold 3 pieces this month and 3 customs in the books this month. so not sure how you know this info…have you also flipped furniture for 3 years and know the trends of when things sell? I would love to know your experience in this field so I can learn from the almighty Eddie who knows all.
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher Who is sitting there all day during store hours? That employee costs you at least $25 hr. How much are rent and utilities per day? Run the numbers! Disclose them so your viewers can see the true costs of the business.
@@eddieadams4770 we aren’t open 24/7. We have limited hours. its funny when you think you know it all and make so many assumptions but really have no clue.
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher Where did I say you're open 24/7? That's ridiculous. No thrift store is open 24/7. Why do you keep beating around the bush? Post how much your store rent and utilities cost you per day. Post how much it costs you to have someone sit at the store when it's open. That you keep veering off to tangential topics rather than answering simple questions and disclosing the costs of your retail shop speaks loudly that you don't want to reveal the truth.
No sound
no sound on the video? is there a certain point or the whole thing? im not having issues
