Furniture FLIP! | Staging, Photographing & Editing

I’m asked by other furniture flippers about my photos almost every day. In this video I’ll bring you along through my process as I stage and photograph this set of night tables. These tables were painted in Rustoleum’s Chalked in Linen White and sealed with their Clear Matte Topcoat.
The app that I use most often for my edits is Snapseed.
Products Used to paint these tables:
+ TSP cleaner amzn.to/3aZF6uJ
+ 220 Grit Sandpaper
+ Lightweight spackle amzn.to/2Sgp6vC
+ Zinsser Shellac amzn.to/36XqdG8
+ Rustoleum Chalked Linen White amzn.to/2ugZ8Aj
+ Rustoleum Chalked Topcoat amzn.to/2tn3CVv
+ Amerock Blackrock Square Knobs amzn.to/2GL5kDe
+ Drawer Liners are giftwrap from Marshall’s Canada

Thank you for posting this. It’s not easy to find a spot in your home that works for pics. This was very helpful!

Thank you. Your video was straight to the point and simple.

Excellent Video and thanks!

[@salvagedbykscott]

Thanks Jeannine! I so appreciate your support.

[@jahnis.ttownsend9094]

Thank you so much for your video. I was becoming very intimidated by the thought of trying to take "professional" quality pictures of my furniture pieces. Your tutorial video has given me hope!!

[@cathyknapp9360]

Thank you so much for sharing I didn't even know there was a snapshot available for us to use I love all your wisdom and knowledge that you share with us as well as your DIYs they are absolutely stunning thank you so much for sharing have a great day and God bless you my dear friend

[@ellapimentel3488]

one of the things i love about your work is how "clean" you paint". What i mean is there is no paint on the sides of the drawers. I love the tip of wrapping it around with plastic.

[@JoelEmberson]

Thanks for sharing - great video!

[@salvagedbykscott]

I love to share these tricks that make it just a little easier in this business. Thank you!

[@flippinawesomebella]

[@flashpremiere]

[@Rita-po1fp]

I enjoy all your videos....a lot of great info here. But one question...how do you get your logo on your pictures? Thank you for sharing all your info

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I’ve been watching your channel for a while. I somehow missed this one. It was great to see the behind the scenes of doing the photo and editing. I am curious about some of your videos and how you get some looks. You always have such great footage of your beauty shots. What app or software do you use to get those great shots? I’m assuming they are still shots that then have moving affects added to appear like the camera is panning on the piece. I love that. !

[@salvagedbykscott]

Nope, I just hold the camera and move it around slowly.

[@Wendy08ify]

You're great👍💐

[@SS-qu3tf]

Great advice 👍🏼❤️

[@anamalle8722]

Suggestion, what if you painted that wall dark?

[@doreensecor6977]

Very nice. How do I get a watermark in the photo?

[@almachavez9697]

Beautiful! How do I know I priced items right?

[@manuelag2128]

You are amazing, i agreed🌹very nice Video, i really would Love to do The Same creative , Beautiful Job, IT will come .thank you Katie and GOD Bless you and your House 🏡

[@salvagedbykscott]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@michellegrimh2518]

How do you add your water mark?

[@kathybellamy5207]

Can you explain why you choose to stage only 1 of the 2 pieces?

[@salvagedbykscott]

I don’t like to over stage my photographs. The furniture is the focus and too much “stuff” can easily overwhelm.

[@kellysherrard257]

is there a video that shows how you redid the night stands?

[@salvagedbykscott]

Not for these specific ones 😕

[@juliemardock4592]

How do you add the "salvaged" watermark to your digital photos?

[@salvagedbykscott]

I use an app called Watermark

[@bethanyboothe4817]

I’m curious, on average how quickly do you sell your pieces once they’re listed?

[@salvagedbykscott]

This year, most my pieces have been selling within the first 48 hours but sometimes things can take a few months to sell.

[@porkchop8542]

How do you price? If I got a piece furniture for free and spent 10 bucks on supplies x2 is 20$ that just isn’t worth the time

[@salvagedbykscott]

I price based on the value of the piece, not on cost of supplies. For example a 3-5 drawer dresser will always be $300-400 even if I got it for free. I just make sure that I don’t spend too much on products or time to cut into the profit.

[@porkchop8542]

Thank you

[@heidiwhite6068]

Such a helpful video thank you!!!

[@salvagedbykscott]

I’m glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching.
