Flipping furniture has always been thrilling for m Flipping furniture has always been thrilling for me. Anybody else?! I love to find something at the thrift store that I know would be an easy profit.

These nightstands were pretty rough, but high quality with dove tailed drawers that still worked well. I used wood filler on the top to smooth out the water damage, sanded it off, and then painted them. I used rub n buff on the existing handles and I’m really happy with how they turned out!

I spent $60 on total supplies for them (including buying them) and sold them for $270. Pretty happy with that profit margin & the transformation too 🙌🏼
I used to flip furniture in high school for fun. I I used to flip furniture in high school for fun. I spent the majority of my time out in the garage refinishing furniture, sanding, painting, building random things.

Three things I’ve always loved…
1. Thrifting - I love the hunt!
2. Transformation - I love seeing a good before and after
3. Profit - I love making money. It’s always felt like a game to me

I hadn’t flipped anything in a while, but recently came across this chair and decided to give it a try. I got it from our local habitat for humanity restore for $3!!!! I staged it, listed it for $50 and it sold in 20 mins. Can you believe it?!

We have a few things that we’re saving for at the moment, and this can be a great method to help contribute.

Some things I specifically keep an eye out for are:
- dressers
- matching nightstands
- gold mirrors (or mirrors that could be painted gold)
- unique chairs like this, but they have to feel substantial where they could live on their own, in my experience

Getting the price right is the most important thing. You have to buy low and sell high or it doesn’t work. Keep an eye out FB Marketplace, neighborhood pages, your local thrift store. You can even reach out to friends and family and ask if they have anything to 

***It’s important to
1. Know what sells
2. Know how much things could sell for
Before purchasing***
Swipe to see the before ✨ This cabinet has been Swipe to see the before ✨
This cabinet has been really sad and random for the last… 6 months? 😂 it’s ridiculous really. But I just hadn’t been intentional enough to stop and give it my undivided attention. Of course, now that summer is half over, I decided today was the day to give it some major love and decorate it for summer. Loving the way it turned out. So fresh and clean feeling ✨ thanks to @thenester for her constant inspiration in my life 😂 for real though. Always inspired by her. Is there a space in your home that you’ve been putting off for way too long?!
This was really the first of our client work and w This was really the first of our client work and we’ve never looked back! We worked on designing these spaces for a month or so, and then we had 4 days to put it all together between our client’s closing and when they arrived at their new home. It was a whirlwind, but so so rewarding. Do you need design help with your home?! Let’s chat! 🤍🤍
