Flipping a THRIFTED French Provincial Furniture Set | Start to Finish Makeover

[@jw6504]

Love the French linen but I would have stained the tops a rich dark brown to set off the bronze hardware. It looks great as is, just giving my desire.

[@HisBlueEyedBlondie]

Lauren, I'm only 8 minutes in, but I had to stop and tell you how much I truly appreciate you going into detail of why you are doing whatever it is to the piece. You are an awesome teacher, and it's just as awesome for those of us learning from you. Thank you.

Let's be honest. The original piece was exquisite.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

absolutely! And i really hoped to accentuate that exquisite look to the best of my ability 😄 thanks for watching Sloan

[@hoosierpreppingnurse]

I was just thinking that. It was elegant. The paint modernizes it but also cheapens it.

I've had a chest and dresser provincial set for at least 30 years. I always wanted to refinish it in a blue.Then along came my only granddaughter who fell in love with it as it was and wanted it in her bedroom. I'm now retired and brought it with me to my retirement house. I recently repaired and refinished a curbside find ,cane chairs, dining room table and coffee table for my granddaughter and her family. She loves old! So this winter I am going to finally finish this provincial set that now sits in my bedroom. Also a buffet, that is just like one you've refinished.Thanks for always going step by step. Love everything you do and the step by step instructions.

You won't "understand"? You know WOOD is beige, gray and brown right? Ever see old Hollywood glam movies? WHITE and SILVER NOT "BLUE". You're living in hippie days or another country.

Greige ...ugh! It’s like a worldwide epidemic. Safe of course for people with no imagination and lucrative for one particular interior designer in UK. I can’t live without colour in my life! This set is lovely, for me, I would have loved, colour, if painted, then waxed or distressed a little to add some interest. But that said, great job. And someone will snap it up.

[@bosvigos9165]

Thankfully, we all have different tastes and ideas about what we want for our own homes and these days, a vast range of products to get us there. I never mind painting repro furniture, or pine but genuine antiques, no. A refresh then enjoy the beauty of wood and craftsmanship that created them.

[@lineitamercuro6084]

Some day in the far future the paint will start to chip or peel. That's when people will be shocked, the sander will come out, paint will be gone, and that beautiful original finish will return. That's when folks will be shocked and they will "So thats what wood looks like." I love the beautiful grain of the wood. That's just me. I'm a senior, 78 years old and I guess I'm just an old fashioned girl.

[@Godhelpus62]

I love the french linen color. The set turned out so beautifully. I would have liked to see some dark stain on the top along with some buffing of the details with a darker stain to make those carved details and grooves stand out a bit.

[@ellen5165]

I find the French linen color boring and flat, but I agree additional effort with darker wash on the carved details to make them stand out would greatly improve the pieces.

[@4MixMasterMonkey]

10000% agree!

I had this set when I was a child, they were white with gold trim. Back to the 60’s 😁

I had a set like that as well, 3 dressers, dressing table, canopy bed and night tables…hated it from day 1… still don’t care for French Provençal…I would turn the set into fire wood….I am glad some one cares enough to do such a nice refinish for it

Love the colour but I would like the plain wood top with it

[@PaullyMiller]

As an interior designer, I can say your price is more than fair for the quality of the pieces and the brand new finish.

[@kellydiamond8122]

I definitely think the neutral color choice was smart but I don’t care for the way the tops turned out. I’m sure that in person the wood shows through a lot more but don’t you feel like a wood stain might have been a bit more dramatic? Just a thought. The set is beautiful and you really did a fantastic job both with the project and with your detailed instructional video. Thank you for taking the time to pass on your knowledge!

[@dianethompson6804]

$250 to begin with was a steal!! They look beautiful!! They will fit in with any decor style.

I totally agree! I HAD to have them!!

Remember, your labor is not cheap. Hope you keep your invested time plus supplies. So happy you’re reworking old quality furniture.

[@annpotter5366]

Lauren, I seldom comment here, this is stunning !!!! I love the color top and base. You couldn't have chosen a more beautiful color. Love watching you do what you do !!! I'm not a huge fan of French provincial, but this set took my breath away! ❤

[@kevinmyers2532]

I think this set turned out fantastic. I really like the color choice because it is neutral and likely to appeal to wider variety of people versus the other two color choices.

[@greenshp]

I like the gray. It's light enough to be in fashion, but still simple enough to feature the ornate details and wood grain. I think it's just lovely. And you really are so talented.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

i love when it all comes together 🥰 thanks for being here!

[@greenshp]

@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher I love seeing what you do and learning! It occurred to me that using the gray (French linen?) might be really smart because while your potential buyers are limited by the style, the neutral color widens that. Here is hoping it sells fast for you!

[@juliegalvin2223]

It was a tradition, (probably around the 1950'ish) where a mother would use the wrapping paper from their baby shower gifts to line the babies dresser.

[@margomoore4527]

It was common, especially because it was economical. Fancy drawer liners were expensive.

[@foxymama9203]

I was born in 1964, and my mama did that! I still have pieces of each sheet of gift wrap she used! Back then the gift wrap was absolutely beautiful and the stores would offer gift wrapping. It’s sad that they don’t do that anymore. When I was 16, I worked in a store that still had gift wrapping and the lady that ran the department had taken classes on how to hand make bows and different placements of the ribbon, it was definitely a work of art!

[@queenmary9455]

Still do that (from my bridal shower).

[@mina.c9016]

I personally if I was redoing it for myself I would try to keep it bare or perhaps bleach it, but if I were selling it I would go with a warm neutral 😊

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

loooooots of sanding involved in that 😂

[@357QueenBee]

I agree. Natural bleached wood would have been stunning. Stripper is just fine, takes most of the paint. Do it twice then remove with wet rags and light sanding.

[@jenniferlashley2081]

This turned out so lovely - I think it will sell quickly for full price. Color choice was spot on.

[@twinnish]

I love the results. It looks so expensive. I don’t even think it reads as much French provincial as it just does elegant

[@Ivehadenuff]

I liked it better brown, tbh.

[@cyndij8312]

I didn't, tbh ​@Ivehadenuff

[@forevergogo]

You did an amazing job, while I'm not a fan of the color, I do like the finished result. I think I would choose to give them an aged finish- rub some dark brown or charcoal color over them and wipe the excess away to highlight all the intricate details that get sort of lost in the monotone color

[@worldhum]

Yes

[@lvth702]

Bleach the wood and use a light color for accents. 😊 You always make great/creative decisions for your flips.

[@Bobbie-b6k]

It’s absolutely beautiful. I hope you get what you are asking.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

I hope so too! thanks!!

[@cliffsnelgrove3560]

I DOUBT IT! It will cost 300. for strippers and 200 hours of work to get off the PAINT!

[@angelpie9530]

When I think of French Provençal, I typically envision a lighter finish wood tone, not cherry, mahogany, or walnut. Your flip really looks more in line with what you might expect. Looks beautiful.

[@erinwhitaker2699]

This is the best color choice I've seen you do in a long time. Neutral and timeless! I hope you get your $2250.

[@cliffsnelgrove3560]

Why is everything GREY these days? SO DEPRESSING!

[@erinwhitaker2699]

@@cliffsnelgrove3560 Gray is depressing and is not on trend anymore. The color she used is a warmer taupe/beige color which is a much more updated version of the gray that has been around for a while!

[@kathyault5605]

Absolutely stunning!! Agreed, this would go in any room. The French linen allows the potential buyer a lot of room to play with accent colors throughout the room. This should fly out of your space at top dollar!! Thanks for all the explanation during your video. It helps other DIYers & buyers under what it takes to save a piece & why you price the finished product as you do. Beautiful end result!!

[@oreobenavidez953]

Love the color all that's missing is gold gliding wax on the details but it's a French provincial piece can go wrong with French linen great job Lauren

[@deborahmeyers6537]

Not sure about gold, but I do think that perhaps antiquing this set would allow the curves and detail carvings to pop. Perhaps in a lighter shade of the hardware color?

[@andreajohnson6659]

The paint is beautiful, taking off the keyholes on the tall boy was a good choice. You did a fantastic job, good luck selling this wonderful set💗

I really like the French Linen colour. Nice choice, classic with a modern slant

[@kimberlygray2352]

I love watching your videos…you are truly a good teacher on this stuff. You have inspired me to start my own flipping business. I am not as fast as you are…cause I am a little old and a bit slower but it’s fun stuff! I want to suggest that you also include in your videos a statement regarding your overhead and taxes. What people do NOT understand…you might make $1350….or $1800 in profit…but you also have to pay for the overhead cost of your building/shop. You should also be paying income taxes for every flip…so your profit is not always as much as you state. But stating that in your video tells people it’s not ALL profit. Thank you for sharing with us. I appreciate your honesty and candor on your videos. Great job!!!

[@cathywatrobski7754]

I think this set required a color that doesn't get overshadowed by the French Colonial design. I think a little more vibrant color would have made these pieces really pop. Yes, as the reviewer just below me stated, the original pieces were exquisite.

[@deborahd4310]

As I'm watching your video I'm hoping that you do French linen because I have just one French provincial dresser and I would love to see what French Linen looks like. I originally wanted to paint mine black but now I'm thinking maybe I want to go more neutral so I can change my comforter with the seasons or at least twice a year.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

hope you loved the end result!! 😊 thanks for watching!

[@peggyconway2900]

Gorgeous!

[@crystalandbensloane1842]

Such a gorgeous set and the result is beautiful. I love the more interesting colors, like the midnight. I also really am starting to get more into updated wood tones. Wood finishes that don't have that red or orange tint to them and don't have that shiny, glossy to look to them...more of a matte finish. I love dark walnut because it matches my victorian home's staircase. I have a french provincial dresser in my daughters room that is very similar to that linen color (it's the original paint color!), but it's scratched up a little here and there and I'm encouraged to give it a makeover now. Thank you!!

[@ceeannfelds8050]

BEAUTIFUL! It is clear to see how much time, effort and care you put into your work. You gave these outdated pieces a brand-new life! Well done! I'm in awe of your talent.

[@aleeyore]

This wasn’t my first choice of color, but seeing the end result - Wow!!

[@karyndekeiser-moulton1213]

It turned out beautifully! The color is neutral and I had wanted the blue, mostly because it would look good in our bedroom. But, in the end it looks great.

[@MrsLympha]

I have this set! It was in my grandparents' bedroom. It was passed on to my mom and then on to me! I've been wanting to give it a face lift to make it a little more modern for me and then to my daughter! ❤

[@foxymama9203]

So awesome that 4 generations get to enjoy your grandmama’s set! I have always loved this style (more French country rather than the more formal furniture, but by painting it the French Linen, it lightened up the heavy feel). Sadly, my mama associated antiques with hand me downs as she grew up poor, so she wanted everything modern and trendy 😢 No beautiful hand me downs in our family. I shop everything vintage and love to redo my finds! I had never seen French Linen before and now I want to redo my bedroom furniture in that color and apply antiquing wax to seal it and bring out the details.

[@fantasticfamily5004]

This is the bedroom set, I had while growing up and I still have it not scratched dinged or anything. You’re version is so much More Beautiful 😍

[@bethenecampbell6463]

My mother picked this exact furniture in 1965. She got a bedroom set, sofa and chairs and later on tables for the living room. They had to order everything so it took a while to come in. The tables took a super long time. My mom took little me into the furniture store and asked to see the manager. She showed him her new little daughter and told him she ordered the tables and the baby at the same time. The baby had arrived, but not the tables....They showed up shortly thereafter. We still have the bedroom set and tables. They're in good shape, but I think the table tops need some love. I'll see if I can pick up some tips...

[@dolphinamoon]

Papers inside, lol. Back in the day, they would place wallpaper sheets, inside of cabinets and drawers of dressers. They didn't paste them in so that they could remove them, without damage. The purpose of the wallpaper was to keep splinters off of clothing, and to keep out bugs. Expensive ones where sold with smells to keep out bugs. However wallpaper was costly at the time. So people would buy leftover, or discount wallpaper books and rip out the pages. That is why they often don't match. Cheaper wallpaper was thiner, and looks like regular paper to us now. I always like to learn new things, and I hope this helps you to understand for the future, also may help if you ever have to remove, stuck on ones. As our new removers don't work, but wallpaper remover dose. As always thank you for your hard work and time, and sharing your passion with us.

[@trinasyoutube]

I used to remove wallpaper for a living before painting walls. The easiest way to remove old wallpaper is to mist it with warm water - let it sit (not dry) & scrape it off with a paint scraper. The water helps moisten the old glue so that it releases.

[@cryswalden131]

I flipped a 3 piece French Provincial. I did it in light gray, and the curvy parts I did it in dark gray! The pulls were done in silver. It took about 6 days of constant work. I can't find my pic. It was beautiful. I did it 8 years ago. Yours looks fabulous!! Well done! 😊

[@kayfabe591]

Beautiful results! And, agreed, this is a versatile tone to place with many color options.❤👍 Hope it sells as you desire. NOTE -- an exact accounting is probably unlikely, but total expenses can include: your round trip travel time, labor to load/unload, and fuel cost to buy the set -- your disposable prep supplies, cleaning chemicals for hands/tools/laundry -- electricity for task light/power tools -- respirator filter/mask -- (may have missed something). In my younger years I enjoyed upcycles/thrift flips/antiques restores/dollhouse builds/children's furniture/garden, yard, home signs/decor & misc woodcrafts. Supplies AIN'T cheap!! But, free wood from when hub worked in expensive custom homes is blessings. He's retired, now. 🤷‍♀️

The purists always cry like a kid with a skinned knee when natural wood is painted over. So every piece of wood furniture has to be stained? Some people like painted furniture. Is it all supposed to be made from particle board or it's some sort of crime? Even painted furniture should be of high quality and that comes from wood.

A tooth surface is known as a 'key' and the key plate is called an 'escucheon'. If you used a chalk paint (by Annie Sloan) you don't need a 'key' or primer which would save you so much time. The colour I would choose is an off white like French linen and a white wax for a French look, which would probably appeal to a larger clientelle.

I have high hopes for this one! I redid my FP set in silver leaf during my glam era in circa 2010 and looking to refresh. I’ve since found two small dressers, about twice as wide as yours, that match my highboy and dresser that we use as fantastic bedsides. Fingers crossed. Yay! I have Algonquin and was leaning toward the same thing, paint bottom, paint wash top. I did my daughter’s FP set the lower 2/3 caviar and the top drawers and top Algonquin paint wash and I love it, for her. Black is too harsh for my room. I can’t wait to get started. I am going to change out my hardware though. ☺️ I still need a tad glam so I’m doing a wide acrylic pull bar.

I love this set. And loved it original as well. I think I would have liked to see the tops in a stain like the original with the neutral paint color. But so beautiful!!!

This is truly beautiful. I currently have a French provincial dresser and mirror and this gives me inspiration.
