Modernizing a Dated Set of Furniture // Facebook Marketplace Flip

Join me in modernizing this set of furniture. This set turned out better than I could have imagined and I considered keeping it there for a minute but I thought I would give it a shot on Marketplace and it was sold within one day. I was shocked how fast this sold, my market was a big fan of this flip. Looks like I'll being doing more sets with this color in the future! Thanks for joining me in this furniture flip! Let me know in the comments below what you think, and I'll see you in the next video!!

HI! I’m a great grandmother so I can say this…what a beautiful “smart cookie” you are , sweetheart❣️ Love your detailed and very organized and thorough teaching video. I needed it….doing a bunch of stuff now for first time. Love it!

[@DIYWithSammy]

Thank you so much! ☺️ ❤️

[@sunnycadwallader2873]

Spectacular flip!!

[@hickorygolddoc]

What great choices for updating the dressers prior to painting . Squaring up the base and removing the domed wood plugs to make nice clean lines. Totally upgraded them to a clean modern yet timeless look! The paint choice is stunning! The knobs and pulls totally make these pieces in size, style and wow the color so goes with the pant!! Not surprised it sold so fast! You really knocked it out of the park!⚾️

[@DIYWithSammy]

Thank you so much! I love everything about this set too it couldn’t have been better

[@stephanieroberts5057]

Nice job When you use the air compressor you should eat a mask even outdoors

[@user-A.Horstman]

The dressers turned out amazing! You are so fun and therapeutic to watch. I love the color you picked-combining two colors was such a great idea! Your dog is beautiful too, love him!

They turned out so pretty! I really enjoyed your video. First time watcher

[@DIYWithSammy]

Hello and Welcome! So glad to hear ☺️

[@LilyBecca]

Gorgeous! I love the color. I also would have loved it with a wood finish top and/or base. The contrast with the paint color would be stunning.

[@DIYWithSammy]

I did consider that but then just decided to go all paint but I agree it would have really made it pop

[@solangeherault7038]

Love it. 👍

[@DIYWithSammy]

Thank you! ☺️

[@some-idea]

Brilliant flip Sammy! That colour is gorgeous 😍 and they look really, really good. Not surprised they sold so quick. I felt for you in that heat. Hot and sweaty weather mixed with sanding dust is horrid! I really look forward to your videos and love seeing your humour come through. When can we get Malino-Cam and see a flip through his eyes?! I can imagine him running around with a go pro looking in all the cabinets 😂

[@DIYWithSammy]

Aww thank you so much! I so glad you enjoy watching the videos I love making them! I know right I need to get him a camera and then teach him how to hold some tools. lol he’s so fun to have around 😊

[@shellywhite1929]

Don't understand how you get away with painting outside. That's awesome! Too hot, humid, windy, and trees around here. Great job!

[@DIYWithSammy]

It does get pretty humid here, but I try to paint early in the morning or late at night if I’m afraid of the heat and humidity.

[@MariaHernandez-lb8gk]

You did an amazing job. Really looks great

Beautiful job! Rule of thumb as a flipper myself, never discard the old hardware unless it's shot. There are people out there who will buy those knobs. 😊

Just beautiful absolutely love it, all your hard work paid off, cant imagine it any other color, stunning.😊

[@DIYWithSammy]

Thank you so much, I couldn’t be happier with the color now I need to find an actual paint this color instead of mixing

[@jenifergarcia1566]

First time viewer. What a lot of work to take on all at once! You did such a professional job. I love the color you went with. I've been thinking of painting my bedroom set navy blue, but I like this better. What two paints did you mix to come up with it? I also love your navy wall color/bright white wainscoting/light wood floor inside your home. So beautiful 😍

[@DIYWithSammy]

Aww thank you so much! For this set I mixed midnight in NY and dark secret by Behr and I love the color it gave me ❤️

[@charlesdart5858]

[@ellieatsworld]

such a beautiful combination of paint color and hardware! Love it!

[@DIYWithSammy]

Thank you so much I totally agree!

[@tradergirl7067]

priming with white is risky.. most the time paint color is added to make the primer a dark gray .. it looks fabulous and you made it look easy

[@DIYWithSammy]

That’s a great tip. I have never had any issues priming with white even with dark colors.

[@michaeljones3113]

That was a really nice choice for the color and hardware. Thank you for the tip on the protection of the drawers during spray painting. I am old school and take them out and spray separately. You need to teach your puppy how to sand.😀

[@DIYWithSammy]

I know right I need to put him to work lol. There are times when I do spray them separately but if they fit in like these drawers did I’ll save time and spray together

[@robbinjohnson6082]

I love this set. I wish it would have been black instead because I would have purchased it from one of my guests room. But love it!❤

[@Ontheflipside2021]

That color is beautiful. Great job I would have kept it.

[@DIYWithSammy]

I know it was a hard call and I told myself if it didn’t sell out would but sure enough one day and someone wanted it

[@Jackripster69]

Stunning, furniture not bad either.

[@DIYWithSammy]

Thanks! lol

[@heidisettles5537]

Love it! It went from good to great! A suggestion, pour paint into your sprayer over something besides your work piece...ask me how I know?? (disaster story #1) Also, I have started drilling new holes before I paint just in case I drill one badly so that filling and fixing is before the paint, not the finished piece. (disaster story #2)

[@DIYWithSammy]

Both good points. I do drill holes before painting sometimes but I knew my knobs had a large base and would cover any mess ups. Thanks for watching glad you liked it!

Last question - lol! Did you create your staging area or was that part of your living room? If it was a created staging area, would love to learn tips on creating a staging area, thank you again for the awesome video!

[@DIYWithSammy]

My staging area is actually our dining room I move my table when I stage items. For now it does the job but I would to figure something else out

[@patriceallen5417]

Great job! I'm just learning, you make it simple to understand as you take us tgrough yoyr process. What type of saw did you use to update the legs, bottom of dresser? How many hours total did it take?

I used a jig saw to update the bases and this set took me about 15 hours to complete

[@allieanmartinez1560]

Turned out great! What brand of paint is this?

[@DIYWithSammy]

BEHR paint I also talk about it one the video

[@mariaphilomena1422]

Sanding between coats inside or outside you really should wear a mask. I was just reading instructions on the Valspar can and it says that sanding the paint creates particles that can be inhaled and dangerous (not trying to be a Karen) but seriously I’ve gotten real careful about wearing a mask. also sawdust is one of the worst carcinogens. I’m doing a dresser and hutch for my granddaughter right now and we’re using that exact same color!

[@DIYWithSammy]

Yeah I know I totally agree, I am trying to be better and wear my mask all the time because it is so bad to breathe those particles in. 🩷

[@mariaphilomena1422]

Can you share paint brand and type, if its flat, satin finish etc. Thank you:)!

I typically always use Behr paint in a saying or eggshell finish to me eggshell is more flattering but this one was satin and a satin polyurethane top coat
