I would normally choose a more challenging piece to flip but I guess this video is great for those starting out in the flipping world so you can see how a few small changes can completely change the vibe of a piece of furniture. You don't have to completely overhaul a piece of furniture to have a profitable/successful flip. I spent about 2 hours working on this one, that does not include drying/curing time. I also spent a further half an hour taking photos and listing on Marketplace.
I actually really loved this one and I am now on the look out for a similar set to keep for myself, my record player looked great on there!

Hahaha! “Out the door she goes…the drawers, not my wife”. It came out beautifully!
Haha, glad you got a laugh and enjoyed the video. Thank you :)
that one actually made me laugh hahahaha
That seriously made me laugh. Perfect delivery 😂
Dude that hack for sanding the legs is next level.
Cheers mate, the paper did warm up the fingers so if you are doing it for an extended period of time, I recommend gloves!
tip: take the tape off when the paint is still wet to avoid ripping it. love your work. keep them coming 😀
Noted... This I will try! Thank you very much :)
"The drawers, not my wife"😂😂
Gorgeous drawers and baby!
😂😂😂
Both the drawers and my son thank you for your kind words 😉
Your videos have opened my mind to new ideas.
It turned out quite lovely. I wasn't sure about the stain but it actually looks nice with the black drawers. ❤
That makes two of us, haha. Thank goodness the results were not disastrous!
Your baby is so beautiful..reminds me of when my Adult babies was small...and a beautiful transformation on dresser too🥰👍
Thank you Debra, babies grow so fast don't they! I am hoping this little guy will get to help me out on some pieces in the future!
@@flipitnation yes I'm a mother of 4 adult babies and 7 Grandbabies..So Yes they grow in a blink...❣️
Thank you for sharing, beautiful
You are so welcome, thank you for watching and commenting :)
Love it! The leg in the drill for easy sanding is genius and I’m gonna be doing that from now on 😉 thanks for the tips!
I am pleased you found a useful tip in my video! Your fingers can heat up when doing it for a while so wear some gloves if needed ;) Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!
WOW! California here.. LOVELY renovation. Well done.
Cool, California!! Thank you for checking out my video and taking the time to comment :)
Gorgeous!!!! I would buy that in a heartbeat! You made it timeless and elegant. Great video
Thank you so much, that is a lovely comment :)
I used the grey stain on my kitchen benchtops and just love it. You have given me so many ideas for some furniture I want to update soon.
Awesome! The grey stain isn't something I would have used but so glad I gave it a go. Best of luck with your furniture updates, have fun!
Everytime I see someone picking a thick paint instead of just some subtle that'd just spice the wood grain I am getting afraid of the final result. But somehow you manage to find a balance and put together the woody texture with painted drawers which end up pretty well. I like your stuff!
Thank you for the compliment, I appreciate it. I will endeavour to do a video soon that doesn’t include paint, always a good challenge!
Loving your techniques, beautiful piece, GENIUS 👩🏽🦱👍👍👍👍👍
Hi from Belgium, like your work ❤
Hey there over in Belgium, appreciate you checking out my video, thank you!
Cool styling 😎
Thank you Heidi :)
I thought it was going to be too ashy with the grey stain But it worked. Although the wood and black color scheme looks good I was hoping to have seen it fully restored. Maybe next time. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it. Sadly I am struggling to sell fully restored pieces here in NZ but I will absolutely do a few on the channel as they are certainly the most satisfying from my end!
Great job
Thank you :)
Looks amazing. Great work.
Awesome job!!! Love your channel. Sending love from Maine ❤❤❤❤
Thank you 🙏 Wow, Maine - cool!! I’ve not been to your part of the world but hear amazing things 😎💙
Amazing
STUNNING! Great styling at the end too.
Love the style of the video too, mostly the close-ups and that you dont show each and every handle being intalled 😂😂. The music suits sooo beatifully 👏👏👏
Thank you, I am getting mixed reviews about the music, more for than against so I think I'll stick with it! Thank you for taking the time to comment :)
What I found works best for me is music at the beginning and at the end. In the middle I really like just the sound of tools and explanations
I took your advice for my most recent upload 😎
Adding black detail to the dove tail joints would have made them pop. It's a stunning restore/refinish ❤
Ooooh I agree!!! Hind sight!!! Thank you :)
Really well done!
New subscriber here. Wonder job in this piece. I love black and wood tones. That’s my favorite color combo. Keep up the great work.
Hey there Mr Cedar Pine, thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it! I am a fan and sub of yours, especially loved he Modern Century Table Restoration you did recently, such a great piece and you did an amazing job! I wish I could find something like that in NZ :)
@@flipitnation that’s so awesome. I’m glad we are able to support and enjoy each others work from across the globe.
Definitely keep talking. Love your videos, thanks. 😊
This piece is crazy beautiful. I’m not a wood purest by any means, but I’ll be honest I was a little scared when you started painting. However, you totally knocked it out of the park. Just, stunning!
Love!
Thanks lovely :)
Could watch these for hours.
Looks awesome! I love the color combo
Thank you, I’m a fan of the colours also - sophisticated!
Wow! You do such great work. I like the paint/wood combo, it adds so much depth.
Thank you, appreciate your feedback! Cheers :)
wow! Looks fantastic ❤
Thank you, appreciate that :)
Nicely done. I'm particularly impressed by your presentation. As if you're buying accessories just to present the furniture you sell...
Cheers, the tv is a big help with staging as it has plenty of funky artwork. The rest is thanks to my wife, she loves a good coffee table book or ornament!
This video just popped up in my feed, and I'm so glad it did! The dresser is awesome!!! And the baby!!! 😭
SUBSCRIBED!
That is really nice 🙂 New subscriber here from the UK.
Thank you, appreciate it! My wife is from the UK and we spent 6 months in Kent last year - beautiful place. Heading back for Xmas this year, looking forward to it!
You made the piece so beautiful. I feel you under priced it. Gorgeous baby.
Thank you for your feedback, I tend to agree with you. I think I was going for a quick sale but maybe a little too quick!
Glad you opted to keep your wife. 😂 seriously, the two tone plus brass looks good. The basic style is what some call ‘mid century’ (and I call ‘unfortunate’) but it has its following, you gave someone what they’re looking for! With a need to bring something home to mama (since you decided to keep her and not the dresser), I totally get the need to make a cost effective flip. The photo you used for selling it on market place was brilliant. Under the vintage card and with the phonograph…that is seriously selling the sizzle! (Oooh ! Alliteration! Fun!) brilliant job of putting the piece in the best possible light! Thanks for sharing your work. I enjoy seeing perfectly functional furniture getting a fresh lease on life!
Selling the sizzle - I love that! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment (with some personality too!). I am also glad I opted to keep my wife, wise decision ;)
I must say it turned out beautiful! I'm not a big fan of paint but some pieces just wear it well.
Hi from Taupo. Husband and wife hobby flipping team! Great video and work!
Hey, welcome to my channel! How do I see your work? Are you on fb or the gram? Thank you :)
Very, very nice! Well done!
Thank you very much, I appreciate it!
She’s a beauty!! ❤
I agree, thank you!
A plastic hardware jig is such a time saver if you haven't seen one before :) they are like 5-10 bucks too.
I am going to order one from Amazon now, thank you for the tip!
Awesome, I watch heaps of these types of videos for inspiration and tips. I was thrilled to come across your video as a fellow Kiwi. Great work. It can get frustrating to see what oversees people can get their hands on that we in New Zealand just can't get.
Hey mate, thank you for your kind words! I have been on the look out for other kiwi flippers on youtube, do you know of any? It is certainly frustrating seeing all the awesome products overseas, I wish shipping to NZ wasn't twice the price of the products I want to buy!! Bunnings for now :)
You are so crafty
Well I have to say I was disappointed that you were painting the the drawers because it was a really beautiful piece. I was so wrong! The outcome was stunning thank you so much for posting!
Thank you so much! I am pleased you enjoyed the result in the end :)
Great job you could have removed the brass strip on drawer front and made your life that little bit easier but non the less first class makeover mate proud of you another mid century item saved from the dump please dont ever throw away midcentury furniture its the you can get or buy
Love you’re accent saying “ giving it a go” is that an NZ thing to say ?? Love this from Wisconsin
Hey over in Wisconsin, nice to have you on my channel! It’s a popular saying in NZ and Australia, “having a crack” means the same thing also 🤣
Получилась очень элегантная вещь. Поздравляю
Спасибо, я ценю ваш комментарий
Bro! Gorgeous. Man, and I'm hard to please. Very cuuuool! So Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin cool, especially if the other hardware would've worked out. But I get your take and it's still sexy.
Cheers mate, appreciate the kind words :)
Nice
Thank you
Where have you been all my life??❤
❤
It was nice but every time I see beautiful wood painted, it hurts my heart..
Total newbie here. I’m curious, what do you do with your rags after use? Do you toss? Wash? I’m so paranoid now after hearing how flammable they can be? I’m convinced my garage is a Molotov cocktail waiting to go off 😂
I hadn't put too much thought into how flammable they are!!! I do now ;) I wash any used for dusting, cleaning and water based paint but toss the oil based/mineral spirits rags when they are used to their full potential. I try to reuse as much as I can but I would be lying if I said I don't throw the occasional one away!
Love your work. Love your baby. Question, how do you ID scammers?
Thank you and thank you 😊
Scammers on marketplace? When buying I only pay when I pick up and when selling, I don’t part with anything until I have the money in my hot little hand. Fortunately the scammers are quite obvious in their messages and I can pick up on them very quickly and not waste my time with them.
why not take the old handles off and place one of them in the middle?
Only $250? Someone got a deal. 🙂
I try to move my pieces quickly at a fair price point but to be honest I’m still finding my feet with pricing and you are right, I know if I was looking to buy a piece like this I would be expecting to pay more. I need to do some more research on this, appreciate your feedback 🙏
❤❤❤❤👏👍
Thank you 🤗😂
Great job! I just uploaded my latest project 😀
I'll check it out! Thank you!
Great mid century chest.
Cheers, appreciate it!
Not loving how you can still see the old holes from previous hardware, and new hardware isn't fully covered in the new paint
Fair enough!
I hope your current videos don't have that horrible background noise.
Yuck....when are you flipper going to be done with the green....yuck yuck
It was black. Far from green. But I do like green. Have a fantastic day and may your days be less green and mine be greener. Yay yay yay.
