Wonderfully informative! Thank you!
Great follow up video! Thank you!
Thanks for another great video and all the tips. Would you mind sharing which colors you think sells the best on dresser and chest of drawers?
Thank you! Black, navy, whites, greys and greiges
This is great video. Thank you
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for all this informative information! You explained this so perfectly.
You are so welcome and Thank you so much😀
Great video! I started on a whim and now have a full time business! Thanks for sharing! 💚
Thats amazing! Congrats! you are so welcome
I'm just getting started and having so much fun painting. Still need to do the selling part. Thank you for your time.
It is so much fun, of course and thank you so much for watching! 😀
Thank you for the useful tips! I’m not looking to have a business, I just enjoy making an old piece of furniture pretty again! I’ve only done a few pieces and they always look like I’ve slopped the paint on with a corn broom so I seem to spend a lot of time starting over. I love your videos and have watched many of them more than once!
Your so welcome and thank you so much for watching! Happy painting! 😀
I really enjoy your videos!I was wondering if you exclusively buy/flip/sell or if clients ever bring you a piece to do for them? I am just at the “do a few of your own pieces” stage, but when I show friends my pictures they ask, “would you be willing to do….” What suggestions might you have for this possibility?
Thank you so much! Actually the majority of my business is custom work for clients and buy/sell to fill in! Definitely a great way to have steady work! So I teach how to do this - I have pricing guides on my website, a coaching membership group and I offer one on ones - so you have some choices! Visit my website to find out more about all of these - they can help do exactly what you need to learn
Hello, great info! If you have a piece that doesn't sell in the time frame you want, do you ever repaint it and try to sell it again? I'm just wondering if I should lower my pricing on pieces, or repaint if things are not selling. Also, what is your name? I've watched many of your videos and I don't remember you saying your name. 😊
Hi. I have repainted when something doesn’t sit right with me, or it’s been on the market a while and I know it’s the color that’s holding up selling. I wouldn’t make a habit of it, but I have done it. Don’t lower your prices, the market is so competitive right now and I would guess like most out you are priced just fine. Sometimes re-staging can help. Pull the piece off the market and re-list a few days later. I have a price guide I sell on my website that may help know where your pieces should be at. My name is Kimberly! 😀
Hi! When you started up how many pieces did you do at once ? I have one item sitting on marketplace and nervous to start another item before it sells.
Hi. When I first started I would work on 2-3 at a time. Now, I have about 3-5 at one time or within the same week, there are times I have 4-5 pieces for sale at once. I try to do as many as I can, when you are just starting though it is perfectly fine to start with 1-2.
I’ve only sold one piece in the last couple of months people are sqving money now due to what’s happening with the energy companies
I have been doing this for 7 years now there are certainly times when it slows and different areas have different markets. It’s also tax time - it traditionally slow from end of feb-April too 😀
