In this video, I take a modern Wayfair couch/futon that I found for $40 at Goodwill, clean it up and sell it for almost full retail! I am also revamping some IKEA Nightstands to give them a whole new look! I want to show you that it doesn't only have to be painting older furniture but flipping can also be achieved with new furniture as well!

Couch: $40
Sold: $300
Profit: $260
Nightstands: $0
Materials: $5
Sold: $100
Profit: $95

After seeing my first video from you I looked on market place for chairs. I found 2 turquoise velvet chairs. They were $100 for both. I took the skirt off and painted the swivel base gold, and sold for $300 in less than a day on marketplace. $130 for chairs and spray paint. $170 profit on my first flip!

The way your stain frustratingly kept expanding is what is referred to in watercolor painting as "blooming." It happens because the water is drying unevenly in the middle of a dry area. The easiest way to avoid this from occurring in furniture or clothing, is to clean the spot however you prefer, but also wet the entire cushion, all the way to the edges. This way, you're controlling the edges of the bloom and they won't pool around the spot in a noticeable way.

When screws wallow out a whole bigger than the screw the best thing to do is to put glue down in the hole then put toothpicks in there and snap them off. This will fill up the hole with wood and allow you to put a screw back in the same hole. Trust me it works great!

Two things. Thing one, when you're cleaning a spot on upholstery or any cloth really, you should scrub in circles starting on the outside of the stain and going to the middle in tighter and tighter circles (toothbrushes are great for the smaller circles). If you start in the middle and go out, you are spreading what caused the stain outward. Thing Two, I use windex for almost all stains. I got that tip from a woman who cleans houses professionally. She uses windex on carpets, furniture and all over the place.

Just a tip or two: FOLEX is around $6 at Lowe’s home improvement and cleaned blue ink out of my white carpet, like a snap. Also I don’t know how much that sponge costs that you used for top coat. But it’s also sold as a tire shine sponge for like $2. Love what you do & respect why you do it!

I would have plugged the holes on the night stands with dowel and glue then re-drilled into them. It would really bug me that the legs weren’t symmetrical.

When you use soap, any kind of soap, it has to be removed. Otherwise dirt will attach to it even after it dries. Home remedies like this rarely work in the long run, in fact they look even worse in just a short amount of time. Doing this yourself, like you are here, you MUST take the cushion outside and hose it down with water. A soft pressure wash is even better, and let dry. It’s the soap that’s the problem in the end.

Hey there. First of all I wanted to say thank you for all of your great videos. You are doing a great job and I really enjoy watching and learning. I just flipped my first pink velvet grandma chair last week. I found it being thrown out curbside so I threw it in the back of my truck. I did a professional Steam cleaning on it and sold it on Facebook Marketplace for $120. Oh yeh, I removed the ugly skirt. Lol. I wanted to give you a helpful tip. I own a carpet and upholstery Cleaning business. The one thing I would recommend is instead of putting your cleaning solution in your bissell just get yourself a cheap pump up weed sprayer and mix your prespray in it and spray your furniture down evenly and just use your bissell to rinse and extract. You will get a much better cleaning result and you won't get as many spots return. It really helps to use a soft brush to work in your prespray before extracting. Good luck and happy flipping

I haven’t read through all of the other comments. When cleaning any type of fabric, do the whole area the same way. When you scrub a certain section only, it pushes any dirt to the edge of the area that you concentrate on.

An epoxy or Bondo for wood would have been used to fill the holes and then drill new holes in the same spot. I love your work ethic.

Your videos have inspired me to try this out! I just bought 3 tiki bamboo/rattan bar stools for $20. They were vintage and had a beautiful boho chic vibe. All they needed was a little cleaning and I posted and sold them for $400 the same day! Just the beginner's luck I needed to motivate me to keep at it!

Consider getting a steamer for these kinds of projects, Lauren. It will deodorize and sanitize the cushions and if it has any bedbugs, which is always a concern with even the best used furniture, it will kill them. Also a tip from the carpet cleaner guys, steam helps removes stains without a lot of water. Hope this will help in the future.🙏🏽

I am always surprised when people do not put the dimensions on a piece of furniture when listing on marketplace. This is especially true for larger pieces of furniture like dining room tables, sofas, and headboards. You really do good, thorough work.

Just an FYI, you can use part of a dowel or wooden matchstick ends dipped in glue to fill those holes back up. When they dry, you can redrill into those same spots so the leg won't come out slightly askew. Always enjoy your videos and congratulations on your new subscriber count. 🤗
