Thrifting as Many Nightstands as I Can to Flip in an Assembly Line | Part 1

[@wodi28179]

I used to do this but I made chalkboard tables for little kids out of them and put a little chair with each one. I had over 20 or so tables at my house altogether once upon a time!! They all sold!! Prayers your assembly line goes as planned! God bless!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@flippedbyabby]

That is awesome! Thank you so much ☺️

I have never had matching nightstands in my entire life, and I like it that way. So enjoying this adventure.

[@melissapoole8580]

I don't know how the nightstands will go, but the fact you backed that trailer into the driveway NEXT to another car, is amazing. LOLOL And you have inspired me to do a line assembly of some sort...

[@flippedbyabby]

I have lots of experience with a boat 😆 but this little trailer is even harder because it’s just a huge blind spot

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I was thinking the same thing. I love the idea and I’m so jealous that she has a trailer. But was even more impressed when she backed it in. Not being able to maneuver a trailer on my own is why my husband won’t let me buy one. LOL

I wouldn't allow my woman folk to park a trailer. It is manly man work,like hunting baby fur seal or grouting tile. Women should stay in the lane that God allows for them.

[@flippedbyabby]

You can still do it! I lived in a single wide trailer when I started. I hand painted in the back bedroom that was like 7x10 ft lol

[@AcornHillHomestead]

I had several paint projects to do today. One was a chunky 70’s pine coffee table. Its natural wood that I plastered DIY chalk paint onto sanding much of it off then applying a dark stain over the entire piece. Its gorgeous now. I had to paint a shelf, distress a small side table, paint a frame for a specific painting and paint and distress a very ornate medium sized mirror. All I have to do now is put a finish on 3 of the items and Im done. These pieces are for me and a vacation rental we own. Ive had all of these things sitting in my stash for years. I have a nice shop. Time to start using it to make some money. Small furniture is so hard to come by anymore for a decent price.

[@cbgb3369]

Oh Lord, I was just watching your video and thought how difficult it must be to manoeuvre (when you were backing into the drive) with a horse box on the back of your truck, and was just pretty impressed at your driving skills when I totally remembered that my driving lesson had been moved to 1 hour from now!!! -- so thanks to your good driving, you just saved me £80! Thank you!

You can do it! Just remember to use your mirrors! My motto is “Slow is smooth and smooth is fast”

[@conniedollens5751]

I’m impressed you can back that trailer in the driveway. I’m an occupational therapist and I’m trained to notice body mechanics. You squat and lift with your legs consistently, but I’m concerned about the twisting you do with your back when moving the furniture sideways. Please stop that. Step and turn your trunk with your hips/legs as you push / pull the furniture to protect your spine. 😊. You are young and can take it now but over time your spine will accumulate problems. I enjoy your content

I’m an eclectic and my nightstands never have matched. As long as the wood approximates I’m a happy camper.

[@redesignedbynina]

I've never done an assembly line with soooo many bedside tables but out of my experience, doing several projects together speeds up the process a lot. And the pieces don't have to be of the same type - if I need to prime a coffee table, a dresser and a chair with the same primer, I make sure all of them are ready for the treatment. In this way the process and the cleaning are much faster as you doing it only once. Good luck with the bedside tables! 😉

It definitely makes it so much faster and more efficient! But I learned a few hard lessons along the way 😂

You talked about ordering hardware. I've found some great deals on hardware at ReStores. They are usually in bundles & cost $1 or less a piece. Granted, some are dated, but depending on what you're doing, dated may be needed. I also use handles when making ottoman or regular trays. So it's kind of a win for me regardless. 😁

I had to show them so they know this IS normal. lol See children, I am not the only crazy woman with a big suv + trailer. I will be looking for the sequels. Also, the spinning wheel - GENIUS!!!

Suggestion for the sets that don’t match super well - promote them as “his and hers” night tables clearly setting the expectation that they are supposed to be different.

[@flippedbyabby]

This is exactly it 🙌 great suggestion

[@monkeybusiness1999]

Very interesting experiment. Can understand why neutral colors are ideal for bedrooms - they're calming & peaceful. And more grown-up compared to brighter &/or primary colors. Although, as you probably know, adding a touch of black, brown or other darker (or lighter) paint will tone down or mute colors to less jarring shades :)

Yes! It just goes well with everything! I’m a sucker for a bold/moody color though

Great job finding all those. I think there are plenty of times people will only need one night stand. If it’s going on a child’s room where the twin bed is against the wall, and only one night stand is needed, you could still sell those mismatched ones well if you make an accent piece out of it.
