These frames have been sitting empty for a while now… I went to order some prints for them the other day, and I didn’t like the price. SO I decided I was going to make my own art for them. I found a fabric remnant at a local thrift store for $0.99 cents and voila. Took all of 5 mins ✨

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 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***
