I have been off social media for a few months and I just got back on and this video popped up for me to watch. I have to say you have lost an incredible amount of weight, which I don't think you needed to do, and you look simply amazing and you're glowing! I just wanted to jump on and let you know that I noticed and wanted you to know how wonderful I think you look, but I thought you looked wonderful before!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

@@christinebrennan4484 thanks! I have been really taking care of myself and I'm happier than ever! I appreciate your kind words! Glad to have you back!

[@williamsstephens]

Another vote for Lume. I've been using it for several years now, and it's incredibly effective.

[@jodenabeale4355]

that looks so pretty, just beautiful. Love the hardware. As for the drill sounds, the music is so pretty and relaxing I don’t think it needs interrupted with drill sounds. But beautiful work.

[@victorandrews9388]

Lauren, you are a DESIGNER! Furniture flipping teacher, yes, but your eye for design is impeccable! I love a stunning before and after, and you never disappoint. Plus, you're giving this furniture a new life outside of a landfill. 👏👏👏

[@michaelamaestas4950]

AWESOME SHADE of BLUE !!!!!!!!!!! Just great, looking good !

[@juliequinlan6564]

Love the colour - it looks like a French navy! The dowels look amazing! Another fantastic flip and I must say you’re looking really good - I hope you’re doing well and looking after yourself 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💕💕

[@Hollybank5]

So beautiful ❤ !! The redesign , the knobs and the COLOR ! Congratulations on the sale .

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thank you so much! I love how it all came together!

[@cookiepfeffer8196]

I love using dowels! I am glad they are selling them half rounds. No more splitting ! Love the color! 💖💖💖💖

[@margaretjaneboyle2876]

Hi Lauren from Glasgow, Scotland. Was great to catch this video, it 2 in the morning and for a thousand reasons I’m just unable to sleep, so it was brill spending this time watching you do your “thung” fab nod as usual, and your looking grid girl ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Appreciate you tuning in so late! hope all is well! (:

[@gailrhodes2859]

Turned out beautiful!! Blue is my favorite color!! But so many are loving that sage green and I’m so glad you did blue!!!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

I love blue too, it's so versatile! thanks for watching!

[@margeeeeS]

Lauren, So gorgeous. Youve always know what knobs to pick for the dressers.I would have never thought this color for these dressers. The combination is perfect.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thanks so much! I love how the knobs and color just really tie the whole look together! thanks for watching!

[@gf8958-p7p]

Love the dowels - they raised the front to match the other drawers and add a lot of interest. Congratulations! ❤

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thanks! definitely helped modernize the pieces!

[@lindavasa7519]

Thank you so much for this video. I recently inherited a really well built solid wood set that had inset oval handles that were broken and impossible to replace. Was so daunting to even think about filling all of those large wholes in. The half dowels are a great idea and looks mor modern

[@dianereed9364]

Gorgeous; the design update very much elevated these pieces! I love that this quality furniture gets a new life!

[@MLCC.KendelMS]

Nicely done lady! I love that color… it’s perfect 👍🏻

[@mgncase]

"I'm not learnin', I'm just livin'" 😂❤

[@Pinkstinkie]

Heard that and thought, "Same. Same".

[@julieann7609]

They turned out great! The color mix came out just right actually. The new drawer fronts with added dowels really modernized it - your plan worked perfect! Congrats on the sale.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Awesome! Thank you so much!

[@justjulee9135]

I really loved the blue color you mixed up. It is beautiful! Very nice update on these outdated pieces!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thanks! its so fun to mix up colors!

[@mzlady1128]

Can you please do a bed, I have an antique, solid wood, 7' tall headboard, with footboard, and side rails queen size bed that needs refinishing; can you do a video of refinishing a bed? You've mastered dressers, please teach me how to do a big bed, or just do a twin size.😂😅

[@christineknack1692]

The knobs look great. Love the blue!!!

[@autumnsky9807]

At first I was worried it was gonna end up the 1980's dusty blue. And in the end, was so happy it was deeper. The dowels made the updated design. Really like it, great job!🎉

[@melissapoole8580]

"I'm just livin"...Too funny!!! I love that blue you created! You look wonderful by the way. Keep taking care of yourself.

[@kathyl5610]

Agree 100%. And you are so right, Lauren is looking great!

[@lynnford2082]

This set looks amazing. Great job and such creative thinking for the dowels on the drawers.

[@laurenmorris4652]

I can’t believe that’s the same piece!!! The dowels are always a great choice, and the paint color with the hardware are PERFECT!!😍

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thanks! I love how the hardware and the paint color work together!

[@michellesutton202]

Gorgeous color!!! Love when you mix your own color😊😊. Also goes really well with the drawer pull color choice. The design is awesome too😊😊😊

[@lyndapalecek8952]

Congratulations on the sale. The color is pretty. The hardware adds so much!

[@ChristineFeucht]

Love the pieces. I needed some inspiration and you delivered. Thank you sooo much

[@sclose3418]

I’m in Chicagoland. I’m an interior designer, a DYI lover and a flipper. I’m finding facebook marketplace is such a place where people don’t want to spend money. They want to buy things very cheaply! I see beautiful things on marketplace for such low price! Good quality brands as week like Henredon, Thomasville. I just don’t understand….

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

very true! and some people also just don't know what they have! great for us flippers!

[@beebop4333]

I see the tide turning. People are posting and asking a lot bc they know refinishers are looking for items. That's the negative about social media. Nothing is a secret

[@ellenwitko3734]

I love that color! Beautiful job, as always.

[@Clovergirl7934]

To buy USED furniture, clothing, home decor, etc. on Marketplace for a bargain is the whole purpose of MP! To keep things out of landfills, repurpose, or pass on to somebody else that could use and appreciate it is an excellent way to do this with great finds on MP. Sellers should not be price gouging.

[@theaussienurseflipper.8113]

I found people don't want pay, the true value of the item which are selling on FBM (here in Australia) cheers Graham

[@justlovely36]

It’s a lovely colour and I like the hardware on it too

[@patriciakumar115]

Gorgeous! Love the color, love the dowels, love the pulls. Thank you for sharing your creative talents with us.

[@ptdesignsco]

Another beautiful flip! Thank you, Lauren!

[@ingeborgbryce4197]

Thank you for another great video! The tone of the blue color is one of my favorites. The half rounds and hardware made a big difference in the new design.

[@angela3063]

Wow they are beautiful...I love the color!

[@VintageVerveCo]

I said it after your last set of navy nightstands but this time I mean it…I’m taking the blue plunge on my next piece😂🎉! Beautiful job as always.

[@AuntieBrennie]

OMGoodness Lauren! Love that epic Lauren Luster Blue paint concoction! If you have any leftover paint the remainder will be AYK for the new owner, which I think is an epic business practice! You taught me that! Also, I wasn’t able to see this live… so you didn’t hear me screaming to drill the holes for the drawers BEFORE you put on the paint color! Oh well it all works out in the wash! Praying for your continued success! TeeHee! B~}

[@blessthegood1404]

Get a kitchen scale. (ex) Put like 10 ounces of one color spill in more of another color. It now weighs twelve ounces so that's two ounces of the second color and so on.

[@anitakalli100]

Wow! It came out gorgeous! I absolutely love the color, the dowels and the hardware!! Fantastic job Lauren!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thanks so much! I really love how it turned out too!

[@MADEbyMK]

This is a beautiful flip! I have a dated set and considered doing a similar look for the top drawers, but I didn't know how the paint would look on them... this helps a lot! Thanks for sharing this 😊

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

awesome! glad you enjoyed! good luck on yours!!

[@r05j26]

I absolutely love this! Like you said, the dowels really add so much to it 😍 Another great piece of furniture saved from landfill ❤️ Also, your aura is glowing ✨️ Thank you for another excellent lesson!!

[@lindap9079]

I think the half-rounds were a great solution for the drawer fronts. If you use that idea again, I think you should bevel the edge. It would be twice as much cutting but would yield a softer look. None-the-less your ability to create new looks always impresses me.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thanks so much! appreciate you watching!

[@shawndelaney9311]

Love the color and the details of the dowels. Great job and great profit.

[@jrbaskind]

I love the results! It looks so up to date and stylish!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thanks! I think so too!

[@janeniehaus-tull6867]

To me, the color is somewhat 'costal'. Lovely. I also think the dowels make it a little bit more casual. Both of these have their place. I would definitely give them a place in my home.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

thanks, & thanks for watching!

[@oreobenavidez953]

That looks beautiful love the color and the dowels so classy

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thanks, I agree! I love how classy it turned out!

[@miragafni1]

Throughout the video I was thinking why not find another nightstand in a similar style, giving it the same dowl treatment, maybe copy the legs t - but you sold it as is! Good for you! It's a beautiful set🌺

[@diantha7759]

Some bedrooms only have room for one nightstand. Also some people prefer to mix it up and have the second one different and not all match-y. So getting a set with just one shouldn't be a deal breaker! .....but what do I know?

[@juliaharper7526]

Love what you did to the drawers.

[@janiskubat5855]

Lauren! You did awesome.

[@tammyjohnson7401]

What a great idea with dowels, gave it an island vibe. Sell, sell, sell.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

I think so too! They definitely have a cool island vibe, I love how they turned out.

[@prairiestorm5045]

Love that blue color! It reminds me of the old “soldier blue” of the 80’s in which I had done my kitchen.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

It is such a great color and I think it works great for furniture!

[@sandrafleck9214]

What an awesome improvement!

[@angelazguric4944]

My blue night stands listed last week sold !! Blue is a great seller - love this shade 😊

[@shabbysuse7821]

Amazing result, love it!

That turned out beautiful!

Dark Charcoal .. !!!!

[@ralphcox1645]

You could have also put copper sheets in those holes. That would look awesome

[@cazdough6565]

Gorgeous, amazing colour of blue ❤

[@donnastokes496]

Love this colour ❤

[@rzpotts4]

Beautiful set. Great job. 😊

[@KaitlyntheGardener]

Whoa, I’ve never seen plastic decorative pieces on a nice wooden dresser. That is so weird! This dresser and nightstand turned out great! Beautiful color. As an idea, I think using those thin tin metal ceiling squares to cover unwanted elements on the front of a drawer could be super cool! ❤

[@OSheaDean]

What a job! 💙

[@tinaranson6172]

Very very pretty🌟

[@AmandaWheeler-g2j]

Beautiful!!! Great job as always!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thanks so much! I love how it turned out!

Thanks! It makes the piece look so much more updated.

Why are you moving all this heavy furniture yourself? Why doesn't Niemam help you now? Great job as usual, you are incredible. ❤❤

[@rebeccasalhab2159]

Beautiful

[@gailrhodes2859]

Green sage

[@craigieboy7926]

Looks lovely! I may have missed it but why did you sand the tops down to bare wood when you ended up painting them? wouldnt a scuff sand have been enough? (im still learning.. )

[@Pamela-zv9fg]

Very pretty!

[@Codygirl54]

Love the blue Great job!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thanks! Blue is such a great color for furniture! thanks for watching!

[@05MaryBeth]

I was curious I am wanting to redo my son's dresser with new pulls. I don't own a sprayer do I have to use one? If I sand the piece how do I determine the size of the holes so I don't need to drill new ones? I want to get the tape with the plastic for painting what is a good size to get? I love to take on projects and I'm thinking I am going to be hitting the garage sales in the bigger city so maybe I can find things easier. But I thought I would update my husband's old dresser for our son. So I can get some experience with things so it will probably be a trial and error thing or a learning curve.lol If things work out maybe I will do this eventually to earn money 💰. Look forward to hearing from you and I have totally fallen for your show ❤️😍.

[@sallysmith4231]

I liked the bits you took off , it’s a shame , I don’t think they are old fashioned , just different which is a good thing ❤

[@darrenstibbard6773]

Love your work. I have the same mitre saw and not going to lie, your left hand was making me a little nervous. Watch those digits! Keep up the great work though.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Haha thanks for noticing! It's always a little nerve wracking working with power tools! 😅 thanks for watching!

[@luch5146]

Beautiful! 💙💙

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thank you! I love blue for furniture too!

[@kathleenorourke1009]

Love love love it! All around. I would like to see this same color mix process with green!? 😊 Do you think that would be as popular? ❤Congratulations 🎉

[@freefromburdens01]

So awesome 👏

[@patbolstad3701]

Beautiful ❤

[@faradayfelix]

Did you sand between coats or does this paint negate the need to? Fabulous transformation 😁

[@dshollins5864]

Love it!
