Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included kzbin.infoUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.

I do not see how you find the time to do this PLUS teaching by day. I am 69 and can't bend easily so my refurbishing days are over, but I sure do love seeing what people do to revive and renovate furniture. I am very much enjoying watching you. Your results are absolutely spectacular. When I was teaching art (for a few years before I became chronically ill and had to quit) I made quilts to supplement our income. I could turn one out in two-three weeks. Now I have two shops on Etsy -- one for polymer clay jewelry and since I was in isolation due to COVID, a crocheted shawl shop. It's important to keep finding ways to express one's creativity. My 100 year old Mom still makes winter scarves for charity. I keep her supplied with yarn and she is so happy to decide what to make next. Enjoy your flippin'! It is so great to get rid of those darned college loan debts. They really drag you down and it is so neat to see someone who doesn't sit on their can and complain, but gets busy retiring those debts. Good for you! Keep up the great work.

I admire your clever solution to student debt, your hard work, and your sharing your experiences. With these attached mirrors, I would think about switching them to hanging mirrors. We inherited a lot of old furniture, and the mirrors are too low for today's taller people, and men cannot usually see themselves in them. Also, some people use bureaus in the front hall, and a hanging mirror works better in that location. It is easy to add eye hooks and a wire, and I think it fits today's households more appropriately. Keep up the great work! You are terrific!

It is Very similar with the different wood veneers but the mirror is fixed. It's definitely from the 1920's. The bed is long gone but dresser, vanity and nightstand are still hanging on.

For bleaching wood veneer use oxalic acid. It's a powder you mix with hot water. I'm sure you can find videos for it. Also, to get scratches out of veneer, dampen a cotton cloth and put your iron on it in steam mode. You can also look that up. I do both all the time. Loved that dresser. I'm glad you kept the top dark!

If you get some playing cards from the dollar store or thrift store, you can shove them under the edge of the wood on the mirror, all around the mirror, overlapping the cards a little, to save you from having to tape it off. You can just throw the cards out, or reuse if necessary. It works great, and is much faster than taping. Loving your channel and admire your goal to pay off your student loan.

I also struggle with my pieces not selling right away. But I always give it 7 days....the higher the cost, the less audience for purchasing because it is a bigger commitment. I have had to re-list bigger pieces up to 3 times. If someone offers lower, let them know that you will contact them later if you don’t get the full price. That will often tip their hand to purchase it at your price because now they are emotionally invested in the piece. It DID turn out beautiful and learning a lesson is part of the process too!

You did a great job. It was worth $350 for sure maybe up to $400. It was a very large dresser. I'm glad you see where you could be patient and not second guess your price instinct. I know the wood was quite damaged, but I wonder what it would have looked like if the decorative pieces had stayed the same color as the top. It may not be the look you're going for though, with the distressed style. It's fun to see how they become a new and beloved piece of furniture.

Yes, I agree. I think waiting at least a week before changing price at all makes the most sense. With some people's schedules they may not see or be able to respond to listings right away. I usually only browse Marketplace once a week, some times as infrequently as every two weeks (I am looking for deals, and things that are not redone yet though so of course a different type of buyer than what you are looking for), and even if I see something I may not respond to the post right away depending on my schedule. If I know I'm not available to pick it up until the weekend, and it is Monday, I may not even contact the seller right away.

I sell on FBM and I wait for two weeks before lowering the cost. Usually I don't have to lower it. It takes a few days for buyers to notice your item, a few more to justify the price in their minds. Slow down. You have already done all the work, let the item sell itself. You have beautiful items to sell, items that "professional" furniture refinishers would charge at least double what you are asking. Also, I think you are underselling your items. You could begin by posting a higher price than you want so if you have to come down, you won't feel deflated.

My dad says the same thing! I know I need to be more patient...thanks so much for the tips and encouragement. I don't quite feel like a "professional" to be able to sell for top dollar but I will get there soon! (: Thanks for watching!

I agree with Constance 1000%! I really think you undersell. I was thinking you could have asked 550.00-600.00 on this piece at least as a starting price. You put a lot of extra time and care into it. And it’s absolutely beautiful! Also, given the age, I feel it’s worth more. You are completely right though. Live and learn. No regrets!!

Never hold anything without a deposit i learned that the hard way also lol people on Facebook will say oh i want it can i pick up in a couple days and not show up meanwhile other people want it and people will always try to get something cheaper but if they really want it they will pay your asking price it doesn't hurt to give a little on the price but don't go way down on it , i put on all my post on market place will not hold unless half is paid up front must be picked up within 2 days, im not a storage facility either lol, you do good work you put a lot into it , you deserve your asking price

Mirror painting hack: slide index cards under the frame and tape down with painter's tape, all the way around the frame. Then take paper, brown craft or newspaper, and tape it down to the index cards. Mirror is completely blocked. No paint leakage or reflected paint line to clean up.

In all my years I have never heard of furniture needing to be 100 years old to qualify as an antique. That’s very good to know. I’ve always considered like 30s-40s and older an antique haha!

I second Bondo, they have a wood filler or an All Purpose Putty that works wonders. It stinks to high heaven, but dries hard as a rock very quick. Minwax also makes a 2 part filler with hardener now as well. I would not use either if you are staining though...

Fantastic job. And, thank you so much for talking more slowly. Some videoers talk too fast and I don't catch some of what they are saying. Also, I saw a hack. Instead of using painter's tape on the mirror before painting, use cheap playing cards to prevent paint from getting on the mirror. Happy painting. Debt is going down. Great job.
