    Thank you for being here! Do you think I can make my goal? Keep in mind, I do live in the Dallas area so prices here will be a bit different. I also did not include the cost of products as I have an overstock here that I pull from and challenged myself for the next few months to only use what I already owned. Let me know which one was your favorite!

    You see something in these that I wouldn't see. Good for you. Love that you added the legs and skirt to the gray one. Made it so chic.

    The huge octagonal coffee table turned out great. Not my style. I have smallish rooms, but in the right house I could see that being a statement piece

    I love the Drexel piece with the natural finish on the wood. The top looks almost like leather. I can only imagine what it cost new. That is the era of the furniture I purchased and it was very expensive, so much so I wouldn't even go into look as I know the price would not be within my budget. I love it and love what you have done with it. Gorgeous!

    My fav was the chippy milk paint matte black. I didn’t think I was going to like the chippy finish but wow. I was wrong. It was great! And totally worth the $120 you spent on the piece. Amazing work on all of these. They were a lot of fun!

    I have a dresser that I use for my coffee/tea station that we got for less than $20 that has a splotchy marble pain job with gold accents. It needs to be redone because it's quite the eyesore in our home. The accents are similar to the dusty rose dresser so I'm hoping we can pop those off and do the same type of thing that you did.
    I personally like the chippy paint one the best, although I really like the color of the evergreen fog.

    That 2nd dresser sure looks exactly like the one my grandma had. It never had a mirror at all. Which could be why your dresser has those blocks of wood for a mirror that’s not supposed to be there. I miss that dresser for sentimental reasons.

    @karenboyd6293 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great Job. I alway feel sad when people buy flakeboard furniture, although that piece was in pretty good shape. I feel that people who don't have much money buy those things, which usually don't hold up for long so they have to buy again. Spending a little more can get a piece that will last generations. People can save so much if they buy used, even if they don't flip it, but just clean it up. And with more work they can make something beautiful like you do!!!!!

    You became my favorite person to follow 💕 I am just curious where do you sell your products. I live in NJ and I am staying home mom of 2 I do refinish furniture once on the while but it is so hard to sell nowadays I only posted my pieces on FB marketplace. I am getting tons of messages and they always ask for lowering the price and my prices are usually already low. Please let me know if you are using any other websites than just marketplace to sell your furniture.

    • @LemonstoLemonadeFurniture
      @LemonstoLemonadeFurniture  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Awww thank you for your sweet comment ❤️ I do only sell on FBM. I know my area is a bit unique bc I live in Dallas. It’s harder for less busy places. I do not lower my prices at all (unless I just really need the space). Etsy is a good alternative or even offering to drive to a closer metroplex or setting your “pin” on FBM to a closer metroplex so you’ll show up when people from that area search. Hope that helps!
