Today's video has LOTS of fun info! Come check out my workshop AND learn how I built a successful custom furniture business! I'll share all of my tips! Which one was helpful to you??
Im so brand new. Ive sold 3 pieces so far (I''m sure I undercharged...but just selling them gave me the confidence to know I can do this). Thanks for all the tips. Love your work AND that it's a family affair!
Thank you Jo Flips It! This makes me smile! So happy to hear!
Thanks Lemon Lady Flipper. You are never stingy with your "secrets" and that is so generous.
Aww thank you friend! Nice to "see" you! Lemon lady will be back soon! lol
I am so happy to have found your channel. So much great info and your work is beautiful!
Great video Kara and thank you for all that helpful info. Loved seeing your space and how you run your business 🥰
So organized, love the branding iron and the apothecary cabinet! I need the Surf Prep so bad!
So generous of you to share your hard earned wealth of knowledge.
Hi. You are a great teacher! Lots of great tips. I like how you found a brand/product that works consistently for you. I plan to implement your sandpaper organization system. I have mine in a dollar tree basket in grit order....I like the pegboard idea a bit better😊
Great video Kara! I love the way you handle custom orders. It was very helpful thank you 😊
The furniture stamp! So cool!
Kara this was an excellent video so informative! I’ve never done custom work and honestly have no idea how to price, contract and so forth I learned so much. TH-cam needed a video like this great job!!
Thank you friend! This makes me smile! So happy to hear! It's all the info I wanted when I started to take them!
Wonderful info Kara. You just show what hard work combined with awesome business savvy can do.
Thank you Mary Napier! This makes me smile!
Thank you for all the wonderful tips and advice 👍👍
We do dave ramsey too. we've paid off over 700k in debt so far ( 2 of that debt were homes. ) still have a little way to go but so thankful we found Dave a few years ago currently I'm an FPU class now. 2 classes left
Good for you!! Excellent! We love it
Great tips! Thanks for sharing ❣️
Excellent video, I will probably watch this many times, thank you so much for sharing x x
Congratulations on your educational video. Please continue to educate us all. Best to you.
Great info. Thanks for sharing
Ah! What great space you have! And so tidy!
Yes! We like organized can u tell! 😂
Great tips! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome info here, Kara! Thanks for sharing so much of your process (and your workshop!) I love the idea of an initial deposit to get on the calendar. charge 50% at time of signing the contract but that's usually day 1/drop off. An initial deposit would mean less down time to getting started. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! I got stood up 2xs! Made sure it was $50 just to put a name on the calendar after that. I lost about $1400 from those 2 not showing up! So no more w/o deposit
Hi Kara. Great info and space - thank you! I did the same and saved from sales and bought a Surfprep. It’s a game changer! Definitely going to start invoicing. Great idea.
Glad it was helpful!
Great info. Thank you.
So glad you did the Collab! So much good info I will revisit 😘
So glad! thanks for hosting!
I love that you turned this side hustle into a business - that’s something I really dream about - very informative video thank you

Great informative video!!
I really enjoyed these tips. Thanks so much.
You are so welcome!
I always enjoy your videos and information.
Aww thank u Kim! I appreciate you!
Thank you for the insight. I’m new to flipping furniture. Usually my family gobbles it up. I have a room full of completed projects but to sell around here, well, everyone wants it for free. I used to have my garage as my work room but after my car was stolen - twice - I have to lock it up. Sounds like the bad part of town but actually live on a golf course in the best part of town. So your information was very helpful. I was thinking of opening an Etsy store as well. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful! Be sure to watch this video on how to better sell things in your area. I get this question often so hopefully this helps! th-cam.com/video/QijNuiCcRB8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for his informative video, very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! thank you for watching!
Very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks
Just came across your channel a few days ago. You’re very talented. I can tell you love the work you do. It definitely shows up in the pieces you’ve done. I was wondering how you clean your sprayers so the colours don’t bleed through on your next piece.
Very thoroughly 😂! I use most everything water based so in my sink. Take it all apart & let it air dry overnight. Good as new! So glad you are here!
I am surprised at how organized your shop is. I think I have some cleaning and decluttering to do, 😂
Thanks for taking the time to video and upload all your advice. It certainly helps.
You are so welcome! Yes, I am very organized & my husband is WORSE than me! lol It's a good thing when you do this kind of work. It's rare that we can't find something out there! Thanks for being here! Have a great week!
Wow. You certainly gave a lot of info in this video. I personally loved it. I’ve been binge watching you for awhile now and I’m so impressed with what you do. You take pieces that look horrible and make them into pieces that anyone would proud to own. I am getting ready to paint my bedroom furniture and I’m particularly interested in your spray guns. They would cut down on the time I’d have to spend on my pieces. I saw those guns at our harbor freight store for 16.99, are those the guns you use? Thank you for your generosity in explaining very well how you run your business. Good job on getting out of debt.
Thank you Janet! Yes a lot of thought went into this one! Hopefully it helps! Yes the cheapest gun there is what I use. They go on sale for $10 a few times a year and I stock up!
Thank you
You're welcome!
Good info. Thanks for telling where you bought your products. I love harbor freight. What editing program do you use for your utube videos?
I use filmora to edit
Where do you find wall liners like the one on the bar?? Absolutely beautiful!!

Hi Grammy Bear!
Thanks for such an informative video! What’s the timeframe you give to customers on when a piece is finished/ready for pick-up? Do you build in cure time or you let them know it needs x amount of days to fully cure?
3 weeks from start to finish. I like to let it cure for about 3 days before pick up and I send them with instructions
Kara, I cannot believe I found your video it is so informative on how to actually operate a furniture flipping business. I have wanted to start a business for a while but did not know where to start. I have painted many pieces of furniture in mine and my daughter's home.(twice over) so I have experience painting, staining, and top coating. You are a very sweet, down to earth and generous person. I think it is great for you to share with viewers on how to make money especially in this high inflation economy. Thanks for your great advice! Could you please share how to use an orbital sander or scuff sander? I have only sanded by hand and I am afraid to use an electric one and ruin the piece of furniture.
Thank you so very much! I hope you find some good insights in the rest of my content! I am so glad you found me as well! Best wishes!
Hello and good afternoon from Universal City, TX. I want you to know that I have been binge watcher your videos and like all the flips you and your husband have done. But I do have a question for you. What brand/gauge HVLP Spray gun do you use?
Keep up the good work, keep on making videos, and I hope yall reach your 401K goal soon.
Thanks
Hello! so glad you are here! my gun is the $20 from Harbor Frieght
Thanks for all the great info! So helpful! I have one question regarding new hardware. How do you factor in the cost of the new hardware at the clients request. Cost can range so much.
I will have them bring it with the project. It's just easier that way. If I need to fill the holes, I'll charge extra for that. hope that helps!
Can you send the link of your respiratory please
You do amazing work. Thank you for sharing

Would love to know where to purchase a branding iron. Very cool!
thanks Michelle! It is from Etsy
I really enjoy your channel! I’m a Texas boy - ain’t Texas great?!
Yes it is! Thanks for watching!
How do you have a spray shelter or do anything specific to help with overspray and keeping pieces clean during spraying? Great video thanks!!🙂
I don't. I don't have any overspray with this gun.
@@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture I must be doing something wrong, I have the exact same spray gun and struggle with overspray. Would love a video on techniques, tips & tricks of using a spray gun. Thanks for the content love the channel!!🙂
Hello Kara. I love your vids..I have been making Resin River tables for a few years but the cost for clients is pretty high and I have to charge a pretty high fee to make any money; so I was looking into reworking some furniture. My question is that I bought one of the paint guns like yours at HF. The instructions say you can't use latex paint? Is that true..? Apologize if you have already been asked about this 50 times already...thanks Joseph
Resin River Artworks
Hi Joseph! I run latex paint through mine all the time with no issues! Have you tried selling those resin tables on Etsy? I think they are so beautiful! Thanks for watching!
You talked about pricing for your area, how did you determine what that was when you started out?
Lots of FBM research really.
Very Informative Video thank you!
I wanted to offer delivery included in my advertisement for flipping furniture. Should I get a small deposit down and ask the buyer to see the item first. I don't want to get scammed?
Yes, definitely, you have to see the item to start the bid. I have them send me pictures.
How do you like the Emerald paint verses the chalk paint? Why one over the other or is it dependent on what your doing?
emerald paint tutorial coming very soon! Stay tuned!
Wanted to see where I could get a template for a contract for custom pieces?
Great info in this video! I'm wondering about the compressor. Does it not over heat being fully enclosed? Or does it not turn on that often because of the size?
So when I am filling it, I close the door, after it is full I open it up for a bit. I have not had it overheat but once it is full, it doesn't run very often. Once I have a full coat on, I will open the door while the piece dries. Thanks for being here friends = ) Hope Spring ha sprung in your neck of the woods!
@@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture It has...we're having some nice days now! Appreciate your help! We're starting to research a larger compressor that we can spray with and being in a townhome, noise is a consideration. (Although we have 3 neighbors with comoressors that we hear all the time 😁)
Yea if that’s the case, go for it! The box helps tremendously! We haven’t had one complaint since we built it.
@@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture Thanks!
How do you get and keep your garage temperatures to where you are comfortable in TX heat? I can't stand the heat in mine to even make a work space.. I'm in Austin
I don't :/ I have had to take most of July off bc of this heat. I did do 2 of my pieces inside last month. I am ready for a break from this heat!
@@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture me too! I'm new to this, just starting out and can't catch a break with this heat. Your video has alot of great I fo for a newbie like me! Thank you!
Oh also! Do you sell online and ship or do you only sell in your area? (or even selling online, but having people come picking it up at your house instead of shipping it)
If you ship it, how do you handle that process? (prices, insurance, wrapping/protection against damage during the shipping process...etc.)
Thank you, once again, for this video =)
I only sell on Marketplace right now. I have a piece coming up I may list on Etsy due to it's antique nature.
We’re did you get your branding iron from?
I got mine on Etsy
It’s Harbor Freight
How much do you think is a reasonable goal for 2 people to earn per month flipping furniture if they work full time at it? Is it reasonable to think they could make $5,000 a month? $7,000? in a middle class area? I know this will vary but just asking for a ballpark.
I live in Canada, so it may be different here. I noticed on your mock up invoice you didn't charge any tax. Do you not charge tax?
Oh thanks for alerting me. I took the amount of tax off my invoice as it is specific to TX and it looks like it deleted the line item.
Is there a reason you don’t pronounce the H in Harbor Freight? Is it a copyright thing? So weird!
Why do you always look off the the side instead of at the camera?
❤❤❤love your work
Thank you so much 😀
