Is anyone else hoping flipmas gets a repeat this year? 😊

[@julialimbrick333]

A lot of people like IKEA products. So it was great that you chose to demonstrate putting it together and painting one of their products. I love the wallpaper on the front of the dresser. I didn’t know there was paintable wallpaper. I love your Christmas series.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thanks, Julia! glad you’re enjoying the series! we are having a lot of fun as well!

[@makeuplover6852]

Printable wallpaper is so cool and pretty easy to apply. I've done several feature walls in my houses over the years. It goes on like a dream and is super easy to paint over. Just be sure to use the appropriate roller for the job, if doing a wall, vs furniture. You can just ask the person where you buy paint supplies to show you which roller is best for something with texture like the wallpaper. Laurens flip turned out amazing!!!

[@dorothytackett9943]

Loved the flip. Newman great camera work. Lauren, you are looking happy. Please keep bringing back flipping furniture. We miss them.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

I am happy - really been focusing on taking care of myself lately!

[@lanaperry9400]

I am thinking the same about you Lauren...idk what you're doing but it looks happy on you!

[@angelarthrasher]

OMG those are gorgeous!! I would not even put IKEA furniture together for $175 because it raises my blood pressure...those folks got a steal deal for such one-of-a-kind pieces!! Awesome job!!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Probably should've listed for higher but I'm glad they went to a new home AND I still got a profit (: thanks for watching!

[@deborahturner3122]

I am really enjoying seeing you flipping furniture again! Love the painted wallpaper on the drawer fronts of these IKEA pieces.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Yay! Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@kimpatience6505]

The pieces look really great! The wallpaper added so much!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Right!? Thank you so much!

[@mybraxtonburns]

It's so good to see you painting furniture again. While I enjoy seeing the transformation of your rental apartment, this is what drew me to you first. You are looking much more content these days, too. So good to see.

[@80z05]

Rarely do I actually comment, but I absolutely LOVE this series you've been doing. This is one of the most interesting! 💟💜❤💙💕

I’m loving the 12 days of Flipmas! You should do this every year. Love the Ikea flip.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Yay! Thank you!

[@kykwiltz402]

Lauren, of all your flips, I do believe this is one of my favorites. The set is gorgeous! And I love your idea of using the embossed wallpaper for the drawer fronts; you did an amazing job matching the pattern. Your choice of paint and stain was brilliant. Fantastic video!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thank you so much!

[@noahhubbell2474]

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.

[@mlm7598]

So fun, and a lot of work. It turned out beautifully and yahoooooooo you sold it and made a good profit. Great job! Congratulations!

[@tychism3586]

At first I wasn’t excited about another IKEA hack. But this turned out beautiful ❤️

Thanks! I haven't done one before so this made me happy!

It's so nice to see you doing what you do. I've missed your makeovers like this one. Please continue to do more. You are a good instructor.

[@wildtravelinglinda6891]

As usual you have created more awesome work. That wallpaper on the drawer fronts is beyond beautiful! I have never heard of it but wow what a great idea! As usual Neeman (hope that's correct) is right about your unique work.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thank you, Linda! I appreciate your kind words! Neiman tends to be right about those things 😉

[@tonyajohnson6065]

I love the green! Excellent camera work Neiman!

[@judymielcarek6011]

Oh my goodness, I love the makeover. Absolutely love the color and the wallpaper on the drawers. Green is my new favorite color. Great job Lauren ❤

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thanks, Judy! We really appreciate your support! Glad you enjoyed the flip!

[@katied8324]

That turned out so beautiful! You did a great job! When I did a quick look, I thought you had done a painted raised stencil. I was surprised to find it was wallpaper. So pretty.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

I haven't tried my hand at that just yet but maybe someday! thanks for watching!

[@lauragoodman3378]

I love your Christmas series. And this flip with the textured wallpaper is a great idea. Thank you.

Good for you! Don't know how you parted with those pieces, they turned out beautiful!

Thank you! 😊 I thought so too!

[@suzannestubbins]

This is my favorite flip, it's beautiful! Shows quality of the wallpaper......love it!❤

[@laurasrn5067]

They turned out gorgeous!! It's funny you did this because I just learned about paintable wallpaper about a week ago and here you are using it in your flip. I have a wall in my living room that has wallpaper and I've been trying to figure out what to do with it for a very long time (15 years) it's not finished underneath. Paintable wallpaper will be my solution! I can't wait! Looking forward to the rest of your flipmas 💖

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

That is awesome! have fun and thanks for watching!

[@annagonzales4837]

I thought it was absolutely beautiful. Love, love, love it.

[@sallysmith2937]

How cool is this?? WOW!! Loved every second of it! Great creation, Lauren!

[@GlitterRekka]

I have been binge watching your videos and am so inspired! I just wanted to comment that cutting wallpaper a bit larger is a good thing as wallpaper will stretch and shrink as it is applied and dries. As I was watching and seeing that wallpaper I had all these wonderful inspiration bells going off - this would be so cool if it was pit on the drawers - then metallic rubs used to make it look like tin ceiling panels!

[@rhondatoben7057]

love the look you got with the wall paper and the color

[@patriciasiefert7140]

I love the wallpaper! Very elegant!

[@melodeecurtis2999]

I Love using paintable wallpaper! I did a one of a kind black dresser that had the paintable wallpaper and sold it in a week! I was so happy and all it takes is one person who loves one of a kinds😊 Happy Holidays and thanks for sharing your talents & love of furniture!

I can't wait to use it again!

[@dianeangelo2227]

The wallpaper look is great and I like the hardware

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thanks!

[@catherinebiermann7940]

I recently did this. Worked in my garage where it was a little cool. Got some air bubbles as I used Mod Podge as an adhesive. I was advised to use more than the adhesive it comes with. Anyway, when it dried I painted it and got air bubbles in about half of the drawers. I don’t know if Mod Podge was really really dry as the garage was still cool. I heard some people say online that once it dries the air bubbles would flatten out. So I realized that the extra time it was taking to dry because of the temp in the garage was probably part of the problem. So I brought the 3 drawers into the house and overnight it dried and the bubbles flattened out. I’ll do one of those again but this time I’ll bring the drawers into the house right away to dry if it’s still winter when I do it.

The Tarva furniture price has increased A LOT over the couple of years that I've wanted to buy them. I just have never made it to IKEA. Now it's not the most economical choice for me. Can't wait to watch and see what you've done with them.

[@beachblond1968]

This was great! I was genuinely skeptical about the outcome even though I’m an IKEA fan (I have one just half an hour from me). But the result was beautiful! And your videos are really nicely edited and produced as well. Love the furniture flips.

Best to still use wallpaper paste with pre pasted paper.especially when you’ll be using more paint on top of it.

[@ritastoppenhagen8477]

Lauren, it has been so much fun watching you develop your skills and artistic gift and your relationship with Neeman. I am sorry if I misspelled his name. I am wondering if you have thought about using stencils on your projects. Etsy has some gorgeous stencils and I keep thinking that certain parts of the air bnb might benefit from using them also. I was thinking of that for the stairs before you redid them, which are beautiful.
