I appreciate that you’re so transparent about cost vs selling price. I’d like to see you mention how much time you have invested in a piece. This is a key factor in determining profitability. Of course you’ll be MUCH faster than us newbies, but it’s important to understand what we might expect after we’ve developed skills.

I also love how open she is about that as well, too many people glamorize these projects a little too much and I'm just like "okay if it was that profitable, furniture wouldn't be out on the curb"😂 that or I just love furniture😂

This is awesome. I’ve been binge watching! There are so many terms throughout the videos that would be helpful to learn. Things like ‘burning through the veneer’ and what does that look like and what to do. Or what to do with bubbling laminate, what does dripping look like, what does ‘tannin’ or ‘a bleeder’ mean? I guess a big ‘vocabulary’ video 💛💛💛

I haven't found much content on that anywhere (other than using furniture balm) and I'd love to know your thoughts on things to look out for - what levels of wear are repairable and how to take care of it, etc. Thank you!

I've painted a couple of night stands like this the first was painted black so I used Krylon spray chalk paint in a turquoise blue color. I only used one coat plus the sealer. That was 4 years ago and still looks good and I used a gold trim.

Fyi, love your flipping tips, now i have for you; take a flat head screw driver and poke holes at the lid of your paint cans. You'll avoid paint drips down the can, I put holes all around my lids, the paint drips back into the can. Ive learned a lot from you. Thanks so much.❤

Why did you use a brush? Seems like it would take more time than a paint sprayer.
@chrispearl1473Ай бұрын
I understand it came with another piece of furniture. But for $30, you add in let’s say 3 hrs minimum work with sanding and painting at a low rate of $20 per hour and your at $60 of hourly, paint cost and initial buy cost of $30. Total profit of $10. I get it’s a learning video tool as well. But the cost shouldn’t come down because you gained two pieces for the price of one. You gotta raise your margins and make less friends. Business is still business and if I did this all day I would make $30 a day. I’m sure you’re making money somewhere but it was lost here if you ask me. People don’t understand time and effort and don’t understand cost of sandpaper or machines especially since sometimes machines break.

Thanks so much for this very helpful video. I'm the family catch-all for unwanted furniture. I love my Mom dearly but her taste ran to French provincial, so that's what I grew up with. And I can't stand it. So I've got these two matching end tables and as curvy ornate as they are, I'm hoping the right paint job might make them more appealing to me. The hardware is very ornate as well, but it's good quality and I hate to toss it. I'm thinking of going with a mid range sort of grayish blue for the table and I'd like to paint the hardware maybe a pewter color? Can you recommend a good paint for transforming metal drawer hardware? Thanks again, appreciate it!

To not calculate in the time spent working on a piece of furniture in order to sell it shows a shameful lack of basic accounting skills. Even one hour spent in total ox worth at least $15 to $20 in opportunity costs. I would expect better than that by the two of you.

Hi Lauren, I LOVE your videos, since I found you, I have fully renovated my kitchen, walls, cabinets drawers, hardware etc. I wondr is there a place you answer questions? In an effort to finish my kitchen and after seeing my accomplishment, I've decided to re-apint a hutch in the kitchen that is currently painted an olive green, I thought about sanding and repainting without stripping it looks like only two colors before this and is not an antique so it's super smooth, just wondering, do you always have to completely strip furniture that is already painted? I will be going to the site to learn, buy guides etc. but wasn't sure where to ask. Thanks for all you share and your details, honesty etc!
