$120 to $850 Furniture Flip!

[@CanonPaulHamilton]

Great. I'm just starting out doing this….we have lots of good solid furniture in our house that’s dated and old. This really helps teach and inspire me to transform it.

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Lightening this up really made it look so much better

[@salvagedbysammie]

@@AngieWilliamsDesigns agreed 🙌🏻

[@upinthishitch]

Beautiful family.. thank your hubby for his service and thank you for being his support.. Our son is being stationed abroad for the next 4 year😢… wonderful job on the flip…

[@flippedbyabby]

This piece looks like it came from a showroom! 😍

[@salvagedbysammie]

@@flippedbyabby the best compliment coming from YOU!!!

[@Siftrtals]

Man, you have a great eye to know what things should be compared to what they are!

[@Restorations.by.Rachel]

What a great find! I love the updated tan wash look it now has.

[@salvagedbysammie]

@@Restorations.by.Rachel so do I! And I love how many decor styles it can go with!

[@becbell74]

Beautiful. here in Australia a 7 Drawer Dresser would go for around $1000. I googled some store here and here are some examples of price: Temple and Webster $999, Early Settler Furniture $1,399, or a cheaper Manufacture: Fantastic Furniture 6 drawer dresser $809. Good luck

[@tamberlin6961]

Alas, you did a great update--and retained the wood grain. Nice

[@conniesisco6468]

Your daughter is adorable! I was just thinking that she looks the same age as my granddaughter when you called her Charlie, that’s my granddaughters name as well. ❤

I have enjoyed your channel. It pooped up on my feed and so I thought I would check it out. Very informative and loving the finishes you choose. The Ethan Allen is a gorgeous piece of furniture and when we were shopping, we never could afford Ethan Allen, as it was the highest class of furniture and probably still is. I have never known them to use veneer as they used to pride themselves as "solid wood" made in USA. My cousin's family was very wealthy, and they had all Ethan Allen furniture. I think it being solid wood and the finish you have put on it that it could sell easily for 600$. It would be prob over 1000.00 brand new in their store back in the day. I hope you post what you do sell it for. It is lovely and would / could go with any decor. Beautifully done! Blessingsr Thank you for your service, we also are retired military. Not an easy career but well worth it. 🙂

[@herbstkindmusic]

What a makeover! Loved both the before and after, a beautiful piece of furniture!

[@janicealley5033]

Hi thank you for sharing your beautiful talent. I'm sure that you have probably heard of Green ez stripper. Also, when your paint wash seems to thick, you can always use a mister bottle. Beautiful piece ❤️

[@salvagedbysammie]

Yes!! I haven’t tried it yet though, but been wanting to!!

[@blinking137]

looks great ! so you ask about listing cost, perhaps work out your hourly rate / how many hours that have gone into it and add to the cost of materials and original purschase price, plus a little extra for wear and tear on your equipment which will need to be replaced over time. Ps you have a designers eye along with great practical skills...keep at it !

[@joycohen938]

great result!

[@debbij3]

Love the lighter color ❤❤

[@jillb7234]

Very pretty! Have you tried using a spray bottle to thin your paint?

[@salvagedbysammie]

Sometimes, but I find it quicker to just add water

[@garyboyd3600]

Great job Sammie very beautiful job 👍

[@salvagedbysammie]

@@garyboyd3600 thank you so much! Do you like the light or darker wood?

Is it posaunte to give a link to your marketplace-Account as it would be really interesting to See how you describe, how you take photos etc. for Them to actually get sold.

Beautiful job Sammie! Strange question here… do you end up tossing your microfiber clothes in the trash? Or can you toss in the washer?

[@salvagedbysammie]

@@barbarajowolff4130 stained rags, I put in a metal paint container and take to the dump (they have a hazardous materials section). But water based paints like this, I wash them!! 🙌🏻 (in their own cycle and not with other clothes)

where our you able to sell for $800 my area is 350-400

[@dannymenchaca2437]

What kind of electric sprayer is that?

[@r3woodcraft]

What do you use to research a piece and what it is and sale prices?

[@Kerry-gt5ro]

ur scraper is a carbide?

[@karenbartlett9265]

That turned out beautiful. I am curious what you included in the $100 in materials.

[@salvagedbysammie]

@@karenbartlett9265 cleaner, sandpaper, paint, top coat & knobs. All my tools have paid themselves off multiple times over, over the years!

[@johncallison]

Curious about Hours you spent on it. I think that should be taken into consideration when Pricing out your finished pieces.

[@salvagedbysammie]

@@johncallison very true. I have myself on salary for our business, so I don’t often take that into account. I may work 15 hours one day, and none for the rest of the week, or 1 hour a day every day (I only work during my daughters bedtimes and naps). You should definitely take it into account when starting though! Unfortunately, a lot of times, your first few flips won’t bring a huge profit. Or you’ll work for free. However, that’s the case with a LOT of entrepreneurs starting businesses!

[@karinapfel650]

I really would have kept the original but I love vintage. Your makeover is beautiful and more modern so likely more sellable. Probably around $800 in my area.

[@salvagedbysammie]

@@karinapfel650 that’s okay! Everyone has different styles and tastes, which is what I love so much about design! 🙌🏻

[@anthonycampbell4534]

Just found your channel. Great work and admire your entrepreneurial drive. Location does matter for the market. Generally, what area do you sell in?

[@salvagedbysammie]

@@anthonycampbell4534 thank you! And yes it does. Were in Virginia!

[@jhold7553]

I hate to ask this but do you have a resource for finding what a piece might be worth? I bought a kroehler buffet with a metal plate in the drawer with a stamped number. I don't think it's worth a fortune but it would be nice to kinda know something. Any help on a resource would be greatly appreciated thank you

[@salvagedbysammie]

@@jhold7553 download the google app, and you can upload pics to the search bar!! It will pull up the exact or similar pieces / search results (lots of times it comes up with others selling that piece etc)

[@jcsergent5853]

What’s the reasoning behind sanding instead of stripping ? I have a full bedroom suit that I need to do and I’m trying to decide which way to go.

[@salvagedbysammie]

I just didn’t want to deal with the mess / chemicals that day! I don’t strip unless my daughter won’t be in the garage for a few days because of the chemicals. She was going to be out there that afternoon

[@joanmacleod1362]

Absolutely love the transformation. I tried to find your scraper but could not find exact one. Do you have a link ?

[@salvagedbysammie]

@@joanmacleod1362 so sorry for the inconvenience! I linked it below! this exact one is from Harbor Freight! Only $7 🙌🏻 there are lots on Amazon as well, but I love how you can easily rotate the blades on this one

@@bkgangstashawtii trial and error unfortunately!! Or you can search up “refinished furniture” on Facebook marketplace and see what’s selling!

[@talestales1818]

Hey, are you stop flipping?

[@salvagedbysammie]

@@talestales1818 never! KZbin is just extremely time consuming, and I had a busy end of summer / start to fall! I’m still very active over on Facebook and Instagram, but plan to get back into KZbin again in Nov, if not sooner ☺️

[@jhold7553]

I am currently shopping for my first piece to try to redo. Not finding anything under $100 so I'm a little nervous

[@salvagedbysammie]

@@jhold7553 it’s hard, but definitely doable! Hit up thrift stores or go out drive around the night before bulk pick up. You can also join “free and gifting” facebook groups in your area!

[@miss_mish]

Facebook market place for me has heaps for weeks then nothing for a month. You'll find something.

[@DeborahLaster-d4m]

[@waynepruett2492]

I would price that piece at 475 so if you offered me 400, then I could close the sale if I wanted. Seems like you are willing to barter and likely prefer quick flips. So that is my 2 cents. Good luck to you and thanks for the video.
