[@carolyngerloff1276]

The dresser looked fantastic well done. The video was well done too, I liked the split screen etc. Thank you🥰

[@PCinDC]

12 days of flipmas, I'm here for it! 🎉This dresser looks fantastic, and that hardware was perfect. 🌟

I love to see you flip a dresser again! Been following since you were paying off your school debts. You have inspired me so much. My latest project is going to be turning a baby changing table into a chic bar cart. Thanks for teaching me the skills!!💜

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

sounds like a great fun project!

[@marilynyarbrough7951]

We’ve all really missed the furniture flipping side of your ventures. Thanks for bringing this back to what got you started. You are very inspirational. Nice piece!

[@kellypestana2484]

I started flipping furniture in September and have sold 4 pieces so far. I started with watching your videos. The hardest part is waiting and not lowering the price! Thank you for continuing the furniture videos!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

totally agree! I just sold a piece from June TODAY for full asking price! patience pays off especially if you have the space to store!

[@melanieeaton3344]

Glad to see you flipping furniture again.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

so good to be back!

[@janashe8600]

I have really missed your furniture flipping videos.

[@CoffeewithPepper]

Love love love this!!! I just really went through a divorce and have been left with nothing. I am a highly creative person, who use to be a high school Art Teacher for 23 years. You have inspired my new journey to make my new space my own. I’ve been watching your channel since the beginning. I love your story, your vibe and spunk. You and Nemin are the cutest. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@alliehicks26]

At the parents house and a dresser flip feels like 2021 🎉 also love the the 12 days of flipmas graphics

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

the nostalgia! thank you!!

[@kevinkirkpatrick1873]

I found a dresser at Goodwill for $25 in very good shape but had no clue what to do next. I binge watched a few of these channels but came back to yours because you are easier to follow through the process. A few takeaways from my 1st project...cleaning/prepping may be the most important step, the need for 360 degree lighting/garage too dark and to get as comfortable as you can ergonomically as you do this with all the bending, stooping and stretching....continued success and you have motivated me to find a couple small pieces and rework them..

[@ellenkelley8416]

Hurray for Twelve Days of Flipmas. I am excited to see 12 furniture flipping projects this month. Great to have you back working with furniture. Inspiring as ever.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thanks for being here!

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

A very simple and almost no future at all can still be transformed with great hands and skills. 👏😉

[@lauralayton3996]

When applying fabric, I spray it with a liquid starch and water solution, then smooth it onto the wood. It will stay put until you choose to remove it. You can easily peel it off. I think I would have ironed that fabric with steam to flatten it out before applying, but the dresser came out beautiful and the wrinkles seemed to somehow magically disappear. You always come through. I like that you can easily adapt to any problems, and quickly change course when needed.

[@teanathomas1820]

Thank you so much!! I have been thinking of something to do with my 25 year old dresser. And you just gave me inspiration. . Thank you again.

[@BiancaRus88]

Amazing transformation. Absolutely love how this turned out!

[@tristavalentour7575]

I love the way this dresser turned out! I’ve painted fabric before and one thing that really helps is to dampen the fabric you are painting prior to the first coat. It helps the fabric absorb the paint. I wonder if that would have helped when it came time to stick it on the drawer and smooth it out. I will have to try it!

[@justdi3347]

Hi Lauren! This came out AMAZING! I have seen some paint pours which were beautiful in their own right but this one just stands out so much for me. I love that you only did it on a few of the drawers which didn't make it so busy. Love it. I have to check out the ladies you mentioned to see their work, I have never seen their channels. I love your enthusiasm and such attention to detail how you go through the process for any one who wants to try it. Thank you for sharing.

[@kristyjones7657]

🎉I’m rewatching some of your videos just to keep learning and refresh what I’ve already learned. This dresser turned out so beautiful! I think u should do another one!❤

[@sdeaglefeather]

I do like the neutral colors. Good job.

[@Derek1975able]

A friend gave me her entertainment stand with a built in electric fireplace a couple months back. It was rough. Big water blisters on the surface and some swelling. With some sanding, wood fill and chalk paint it now looks amazing! My friend said it looks better than when she originally purchased it new. I wasn't allowed to sell this one lol

[@amominak2]

This is a beautiful fresh looking dresser❗❗❗Well done 😽👍❣️

[@chandrasutton4669]

Nice change for the furniture!!! 👌 👍 😀 🙂 😊

[@jeannegoodness6067]

That turned out beautiful! Wonderful job, Lauren! Great video, Neiman!

[@monicariske]

I super love the split screen with the detailed description and the process. Well done!!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thank you! glad you enjoy!!

[@DecFirefly1210]

Happy to see you doing furniture again.... the reno's are cool too though. It turned out great.

[@julianne089]

For the fabric wrinkles: you can use a straight pin or safety pin to poke little holes in the air bump and then work the air out/ flatten the wrinkle. This works best while the glue is still wet usually. But it really helps a lot!

[@calideb4437]

I watched each video of the 12 Days of Flipmas and watched the review vid too. All three of you have become such a team of creators! Thanks to Harrison & Neiman for your (unseen) obvious contributions to the success of FFT. I'm old enough to be your mom so I have an automatic response of GO TEAM and I'm proud of you all. I've watched you for the past 2 years and have been inspired and learned from you. I've redone some a couple pieces of furniture for my office & home - 2023 may be the year I flip to sell :) Happy New Year & best wishes!

[@patriciasiefert7140]

That’s beautiful! You had a great vision.

[@Jdanielee16]

I would never have thought to use a blind for the drawers but now ill be keeping my eyes out when im thrifting! I love the way this one turned out !

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

I totally grabbed it with no intention but then the idea came to mind and now I will also continue to keep a lookout for unique things to use for flips! 🤗 thanks for watching!

[@marjoriegreen2]

Great job and great profit! You got a bargain on the fabric shade and what a great design. You did real good girl! Really enjoyed watching you bring it to life.

[@svetlanakaravaeva7636]

I really can't write what I think because the result is just jaw-dropping :) Thanks a lot!

[@londastreeter7269]

I love how it turned out! Good to see you flipping again.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Feels great to be 😍

[@MMSCOTT-mx8dm]

Girl I love your channel, and you did your thing!❤ If we did not live so far apart I would have you update my solid wood furniture!

[@joannedavies7138]

Beautiful, oh and you've got me addicted to June's Journey hahaha

[@lauriehuber3040]

This piece really turned out nice. Classy! 😊. You might try a brayer to help with wrinkles in the fabric before putting down the edging. Seems to help with decoupage. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@redpat8832]

Very organic look! Love it! 🤍🤍🤍

[@mlm7598]

That was awesome and turned out well. I loved the fabric and the new wood trim along with the hardware.......very pretty. I would love to try it sometime........maybe when our snow and spring come along! Great Job!

[@debranadell9114]

I really like the handles you chose. Great work, as usual. Really enjoyed this. Thank you !!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thank you for watching!! glad you enjoyed it!

[@tamaracummins1859]

Old plastic sower curtains from thrifts make great reusable drop cloths (old sheets as well).

[@christypotter3315]

Turned out great! Love your furniture flipping videos.

[@LittleBugBeauty]

Yay more furniture flips! I also love it when you include how much your profit was for each piece! It inspiring!!

[@nickpain6827]

Thanks!

[@kellyflynn467]

Beautiful, as usual! So glad your back to your roots, even if just for Flipmas!!

[@Hometowngirl321]

I love that dresser, it was just beautiful when you finished it. I’ve been flipping furniture in Australia for about five years and I’m glad you added that piece at the end of the video to say that our time and effort is worth every cent. If we were doing this in a factory we would be paid a whole lot more per hour so why shouldn’t we get the same at home. You’ve come so far, I’ve been following you almost from the beginning and I’ve loved every video. Keep up the amazing work! 👍

[@cavincunningham7568]

Depends on the factory...

[@nancyzayas1036]

hi FFT I love your work always looking forward to your videos 👏😬 watching from the sunshine state 😎🫶🌹

[@lydiakinnaman3679]

Awesome ! Like thr use of that shade. Very cool you make every thing look so easy.. I need tools. Love it great job.

[@1959Berre]

Very elegant design, nice color combination. Very subtle.

[@VintageAndPainted]

Beautiful flip Lauren. Love that you reused an old curtain…so good! Bet it sells quickly

[@lauris5708]

Love it! I really like the modern Lucite handles. It's kind of different from the mainstream furniture flips and it turned out great.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thank you !

[@elbeachy]

I love the furniture flipping so much. Thanks for getting back to it! While your house flipping content is interesting, it was was the furniture that made me subscribe originally!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thank you for sticking with us!

[@DIYArtBlast]

I tried flipping furniture but I guess in my area people don’t do Facebook anymore and no one is buying from fb anymore 😢.. I’m still keep trying 🥰 I love your videos ❤ keep flipping 😊

[@anelahemry4986]

Oh I love that!!! and I have missed your furniture flipping I do like the home reno too but these are my favorite

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

glad you enjoyed! (: thanks for sticking with us!

[@terrirouleau4758]

I love the furniture flipping the best. Dresser turned out awesome😊

[@deefaye7336]

That is so beautiful. So fun to see you doing furniture again, I really enjoy your vision turn into reality.

[@hearthandhomehayes6462]

Loved this flip! Thank you for being thorough and explaining every step including marketing and selling the dresser! I really appreciate your channel and look forward to the rest of flipmis 😃

[@aninasalerno873]

You did a great job with this piece. It absolutely looked like a FAR more expensive piece. I love the idea of using old blinds that way. I see them at garage sales all the time. Merry Christmas!

[@jennynevers4811]

I loooooooooove this 12 days of flipness theme! I've been missing the good old flips this is awesome. Also, the dresser loos FANTASTIC! Holy moly. 😯👍👍👍🎉

[@janebradfield2373]

[@brie_b]

Gorgeous! I would love to try this. Amazing work Lauren!

[@joannehazlewood3157]

Love the furniture flipping so satisfying making something beautiful again xxxx

[@rosaliefunk1629]

It looks like a high end custom piece. Nice job!

[@gabrielejones7236]

A great starter to Flipmas! Loving the choice of colour. Totally agree with your comments about water based primer

[@ThrifterPicker]

I’ve been missing your furniture flipping videos so this is a lot like Christmas!

[@julesshaffer6616]

I would love to see a rolling bar cart. Thank you for posting this content as I love watching your transformations and your thought process. Merry Christmas

[@paulag1109]

Love this idea of adding this fabric to the fronts of this dresser. It has made it good from drab & dull to fab & vibrant. It’s great to have you back doing furniture flipping and I look forward to all your “flipmas” videos. ❤️🤍💚💛

[@nickpain6827]

Hi from the UK! I just discovered your channel and am really enjoying watching the flips. My wife and I just moved to a new place over here and I've been doing quite a bit of flipping myself making our old furniture fit our new place :-) Your videos are super-helpful in terms of ideas and boosting the confidence/courage to go ahead and try ;-) Great stuff!

[@ondinadixon1875]

Hi Ya Lauren. Just ❤❤ this Makeover 👍 Nice to See you back Girl Can’t Wait for your Nxt project

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thank you very much!

[@kcflaca07]

The flip came out amazing!

[@kristinataddei8138]

going back to your roots!!!....now we're talkin'!!!....the dresser came out fab..... didn't doubt it for a minute.....this is why I became a subscriber in the first place....not that the other content is not great to watch....btw nice headband....

[@chrisp.76]

One thing to be aware of- some water based primers can block for a year or so and then stain or tannins bleed through. I use Zinser BIN with shellac in it for this reason. It is found at the blue and the orange box stores. I’ve never used the new primers you’ve used so I can’t say if those have longevity or not.

[@adorablerepurposals6745]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!!

[@nicoswolf57]

Love it. Please keep a tally for the flipmas I’d love to see tally on the total overhead and profits. Bookkeeper here. It fascinating for me to see all sides of your business coming from construction management too.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thanks! I will try! im hoping to sell them in time for each video launch but its a bit of a slower season for selling big ticket items I do believe 🤗 thanks for watching!!

[@donnalovintexas8760]

It looks really good. It is good to see you flipping furniture.

[@terrimcfarland1152]

YAY!!! Love to see your flips!!!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thanks Terri! Feels good to get back to em a bit 😌

[@shabbysuse7821]

Great to see you flipping again, lovely piece of furniture.

[@TRoxanne55]

I’m so excited for your furniture flips again! This dresser turned out so good!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thank you!

[@waldemercado3743]

God bless you it looks beautiful I love your work you have a beautiful art

[@minnieevans1025]

Merry Flipmas! The piece looks so clean and brand new. I'm sure your friend is enjoying it. Looking forward to the next pieces! Great job!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

she loves it! thank you for watching! 🤗

[@eileenball39]

This is absolutely gorgeous!

[@marywiklander-williams6493]

clever idea..terrific handles.

[@raneebyrd1056]

Great video! So good to see you back at flipping furniture again.

[@ks7343]

You're back at home! Praying for you both! Like this 12 days idea so much! And this flip turned out Super!

[@cheez1213]

Use ca glue to join the lattice before attaching to drawer fronts. As long as your miters are correct they will come out tight and you’ll use less caulking or filler. Great work!

[@lyndapalecek8952]

This piece is amazing! Thank for the inspiration. I love that you did not edit your dad going to the refrigerator out of the video. It was good to see him again ;)

[@rhondatoben7057]

amazing great new look and like always great instructions and loved video.

[@jackiebricker4117]

That is an amazing makeover! Watching this makes me think about doing something like that to an old 3 drawer dresser that I have in my kitchen that I've been using for extra storage. Don't want to get too in over my head though. I still am planning to paint my kitchen cupboards instead of replacing them, lower a darker blue and white uppers.

[@patriciavavra7375]

Love this!

[@lorrainewhitlock5377]

I have been with you since the beginning of your furniture flipping started. 💕🎉And I find this dresser to be so beautiful that I would love to have that in my bedroom. 🤩👏

[@pennymoreland9602]

I’m so happy to see you flipping furniture again, I didn’t realize how much I missed it. Welcome back!!!

[@MaryMary-gn3in]

This piece is really beautiful you do great work.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

awe thank you very much!

[@julialimbrick333]

Sometimes when I I am using a fabric or wallpaper I will use a small rolling pen to smooth out the wrinkles or bumps. what a great idea the 12 days of Christmas. I love that you’re trying some new things again you keep me inspired for my next project. Hope you and Neiman have a wonderful Christmas.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

love the idea! thank you and you have a great Christmas season as well! 🎄🎄

[@tonyathomas66]

I love that piece I am looking for something like that it is a beautiful 😍 piece.

[@barbarahenegar3167]

Love the dresser! Beautiful!

[@paularouse9116]

That dresser is beautiful

[@tinawatson5866]

Love the piece , just a little recommendation, be conscientious to paint the entire drawer front including the bottoms and the insides of the supports/legs . Makes it appear more finished and professional.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Yep! I painted it all! Some things can't be shown on screen or else the video would be too long. Appreciate the advice 🤗🤗 thanks for watching!

[@donnaferrara947]

Very cool transformation on this dresser. Great job😊

[@carolyngerloff1276]

Hey, nice to see you again🥰

[@makeuplover6852]
