I Found 2 Dressers for FREE on the FB Marketplace & Refinished Them

In this video I found 2 dressers on the Facebook Marketplace for free and decided they needed a makeover. I re-use all the original hardware, add new furniture legs, and paint and stain the piece.
I had a lot of fun refinishing these pieces, if you like the final result let me know in the comments below!
It is hard to believe this is my LAST video in this garage because I am moving across Canada, but that won't stop me from finding furniture in a new city and flipping it! Wish me luck and don't worry I will have more videos in the future!

What a lucky duck you are for getting them for free! Beautiful pieces

[@HensonHomeFurnishings]

I’ve gotta admit, I’m super jealous you got those gorgeous pieces for free! Such a huge win and you did a phenomenal job at making them over. Safe travels with your move!

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Crazy right? Plus the guy basically threw them in my truck so pick up was as easy as could be haha and thanks so much!

[@jodidavis6595]

2 yrs later and I’m still catching up to all of your videos. I’m guessing it was a safe transition to the new location. This was very cool redo. That hardware was very cool ❤️

[@bluecurlygirl]

What a find. Nice one. Great job at flipping them. For me I think I would have preferred all the hardware the same colour. Good luck with the move. Exciting times. Looking forward to seeing your flips from your new place.

[@tarahazelrigg6467]

I just left a discount furniture warehouse and they had their dressers going for $399 -$499 and nothing was nearly as nice as these! I think you have made yourself quite a bit because even if you lowball yourself and sell each piece for $399, that’s $800 before supplies so getting the dressers for free, you can/should make at least $700 profit! Oh, and going with the legs was great! They look amazing 😍👍

[@aevan8tor]

I personally would have kept the hardware all the same color, I prefer the brass, but I love the black and wood combo and they came out great!

[@aot9644]

Safe travels! Love how these pieces came out. They look very sophisticated. The legs you added upgrades them as well.

[@winwinmyfriend4727]

That's gorgeous I love how the black came out. I remember when you could find these for nothing now you gotta pay a bunch for them. In love with the reviving furniture.

[@AkishaAnthony]

Amazing job! I'm getting a lot of great ideas!

[@kimtyndall876]

Hey guy im excited for you and you're move! do it while you're young. Can't wait to see the new place happy painting 😁

[@kblack8770]

Nice finds. The small pulls remind me of vintage hood ornaments. Love the finished product.

[@raraavis7782]

Very nice, man. I could see those pieces work in all kinds of houses/flats. From a bachelor pad to an elegant dining room. I'm sure, those found a new owner pretty quickly. Good luck with the move. Been there, done that, it's EXHAUSTING.

[@davidparocua1222]

Absolutely beautiful! You do amazing work.👍

[@zonyasvintage7859]

Excellent video! You made adding the metal legs look easy enough I think I can do it. The black paint seems like a great choice and you did all the right things when using black paint. I’m scared of using a paint sprayer… but I want to one day. Hopefully you’ll share your new work space with your channel sooner than later! Be safe!

[@monk6546]

Excellent tutorial as usual. I love your bloopers (fell over and recovered lol) Thanks for showing us the step by step process!

[@danielgarcia642]

When you start up again, try boiling your hardware in a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water, boil for 30 min then drop into cold water. This will cause metal to shrink back to normal and then you can rub varnish and paint off. Also use regular white toothpaste to buff your hardware out it works real good!!

[@angelicamaria6715]

Excellent work! Good luck in your new place.

[@lorrainebonilla8052]

Wow you did an amazing job cant wait to do the same with my dresser thank for sharing. 🙋🏻‍♀️🙂👍

[@selenap7339]

Oh wow. Agreed. The black and wood are a great look. 👏🏼

[@kathyl5610]

Amazing as always! You have such attention to detail and such talent! I love watching your videos, you show everything we need to see and the beautiful results. Good luck with your move and looking forward to your next video! Take care, stay safe.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thank you!!

[@debsmith2269]

I love the black and wood look, it's very sophisticated. Good luck with your move, it'll probably feel like you've moved to a different country. It'll be exciting to learn what styles and colours are popular there for your flipping and to experiment a bit.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Glad you liked it!!

[@hplee881]

[@theravenscachecottage]

Welcome to the Left Coast ☺️

[@mariaortiz457]

Beautiful

[@fayedewitt4183]

Love it!

[@user-oz8vx5bl8p]

I love them! I would make all the hardware gold, but that is just me. It's gorgeous as is. For where i live, i would charge $650 - I wouldn't get more than that here, but I could see these selling for a LOT more other places.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks! I would have loved to get $650 on them!

[@albareyes7412]

It's beautiful ❤️

[@kathleenhernandez3772]

You did a wonderful job on these two pices

[@ceeyaaa]

Beautiful job

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks so much :)

[@ChicAntiquebyHolly]

For free?! That is so lucky! Beautiful result! I fall down like that all the time while I'm painting and I burst into laughter every time hahahaha

[@FurnitureFlippa]

thank you! and lol I felt so stupid that it was hilarious hahah

[@teebaby7387]

New subbie amazing 🤩 job!

[@crystalkirkland781]

Good luck with the move

[@CuervoDinero]

Safe travels

[@paulaheuser5831]

Drive safely!

[@gailnye9791]

Nice!

[@24k_puregold47]

The paper in the drawers was to protect clothes from mold and mildew.

[@mjsilva81]

I dig the 2 tone. How much was the final sale price? What's your usual profit margin on these pieces? I do repair work but want to start selling.

[@VermilionCandles]

Hi!! I just got into flipping furniture as a hobby that makes me money because inflation is crazy rn haha! Do you do this full time? I’m starting to enjoy it more than my job!

[@JoeBauers8]

How cold is too cold to paint in? Does the type of paint you use matter?

[@brendankincaid2743]

Where did you move? Also that looks like a tale from the east coast

[@cassandrasuzannelalonde4758]

I always enjoy your videos. I don't necessarily need to hear about the weather, kids or chatter. Job well done in my book.

[@monk6546]

I love hearing that our favorites are living in a real world! I dig the details!

[@emilykrahn3185]

Did you say is that veneer or solid wood?

[@andrewpatterson6627]

how does the paint finish so smooth? do you sand it at all between paint coats or just apply?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

typically use a 220 grit sanding sponge between coats! Removes any bumps in the paint! Thanks for watching

[@kimpm2117]

Awesome job. I would sell the set for $500. Wow, Moving to BC. My favourite province. Best of luck in your move. 🇨🇦

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks Kim - BC is beautiful, loving it so far!!

[@betojaquez07]

Thanks for making this video. I have a question about spraying polyurethane. The polyurethane looked cloudy and some parts where you overlapped the polyurethane looked like it created a puddle. Did you do anything to fix it or did you leave it alone? Also, did you sand before you applied a second coat of polyurethane? The end result looks great!

[@FurnitureFlippa]

The cloudiness disappears when it dries! And sometimes I will lightly sand sometimes I don't between coats. If I do, I use a high grit sanding sponge and just sand extremely light - no pressure, only enough to remove imperfections (dust, bumps, etc). Thanks for watching!

[@nomado3650]

I’m confused…a beginner here… Why did you use a different technique for the drawers?

[@justjulee9135]

Really beautiful!

[@reowhite4862]

Are you using a corded drill???

[@FurnitureFlippa]

yes, it was like $30 bucks LOL cordless and batteries are expensive. Plus I would likely forget to have it charged for video time haha

[@Ontheflipside2021]

You seem to know what you are doing so I have a question. Why do you go from 100 grit sand paper to 240 grit? Do you not find that you need to gradually move up? I know everyone has their own method

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Starting at a lower grit removes more finish at a time, helping you get through larger bumps, dings, and scratches. But 100 grit will leave the surface rough to touch and its also rough visibly. While 240 grit will make the surface smooth!

[@Duke-Slinger]

Do you actually sell your furniture? If so where do you sell it? I noticed you said gone for maybe a couple of weeks or so we are entering month 3. Are you finished with KZbin

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I do sell it! I like Facebook marketplace the most. And I am not done with KZbin, I just have limited space in my new place and we still have moving boxes where I will be doing my work. New videos will be coming, hopefully, sooner rather than later.

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Yo. Just checking in on you. Just realized you might be dealing with mother nature up there. Check Discord when you get a chance. 😘

[@FurnitureFlippa]

:)

[@dannytheman2217]

Id say atleast 500

[@ithacacomments4811]

NEVER spray anything without wearing a mask! Please.

[@jeanniebowers1586]

Beautiful
