    🎉UPDATE🎉 I sold the tables a week after this video posted for $200 with a $132 profit! In today's makeover I'm showing how you can buy, refinish and flip furniture as a side hustle. There are so many up and coming UA-camrs who are paying down student loans and their mortgages with the profit from their flips. They inspired me to take things way back to where I started...flipping for a profit! This would be a perfect flip for a beginner. Let's see if I can get these sold.

      You can make a very good living doing this, but there’s several steps you need to take to make it to that level, two big ones in my opinion is having enough space for a spray booth, you can literally paint an entire dresser in 20 mins, as where it takes a few hours with brushing and rolling, also a store front would be a huge step towards making a successful living flipping furniture. I’m on my way to these two steps, first getting a spray booth set up.

I've done things for family, friends, and myself personally, but they only paid for the paint and hardware they wanted. Thank you for going into such great details in all the videos.

    I’m an artist/Art Therapist. I flipped one piece successfully. It was an old pier 1 maple coffee table I’d owned. I used a dremel to “draw” markings/doodles and then painted the top. I think I underpriced it because I carried it into a friend’s booth at an Art/flea market and it literally sold immediately to someone who saw me carrying it in. This was a few years ago. I’ve recently purchased brushes, clay/chalk based paints (Debi’s DIY and Dixie Bell)... and looking forward to painting and hopefully posting some videos too.

    Thanks so much for sharing all your amazing wisdom! So wonderful to have such a wealth of info available while getting started learning a new skill, particularly one as initially intimidating as restoring/flipping furniture! I’ve been loving getting into as a hobby/creative outlet but also as an unexpected saving grace source of income that’s kept me afloat through tumultuous times. Everything I flipped I’ve gotten for free, many I simply found put out on the curb as trash. I think my best find so far was a scratched up pair of leather high back chairs that definitely started out looking pretty rough but after pouring some serious tlc into the leather and shining up brass detailing I hadn’t even seen was there below all the grody they turned out kinda gorgeous I have to say and they sold right away to a couple who was THRILLED to have them for “only $600”! I have a crazy cool old orange velvet wicker armchair I am working on bringing back to its former glory and Considering it making it my first attempt at painting fabric furniture.. The thought is equally enticing and terrifying!

      Can you share a little bit of your experience flipping furniture and being a stay home mom? I’m currently pregnant, and plan on doing this to help pay some bills and such, but not sure where to start. Thank you so much in advance!!!

      @@bibiguajardo2495 I flipped my first piece while pregnant with my now 4 year old. I mainly would work during nap time and in the evening when my husband was home but while my babies were small they were happy to watch from their bouncer or swing. I made sure to use safe products and pick smaller projects because I would do a lot of them in my kitchen. When my babies got more mobile things got harder and I had to baby gate them away from the projects but you just find ways to make it work. Being mom all day to little people is hard on it’s own! So set realistic goals and be flexible with yourself.

    Hi Christina - I LOVE that you are giving shout outs to those who are driven to flip furniture to pay down debt of some kind. I want to not only pay down my student loans, but also help fund my move cross country later this year back to AZ from TX. I started painting furniture about a year after I moved to TX in 2015. I have done some great pieces for my home and really turned my home into “MY HOME” I created from my own hands and I LOVE IT! Over the years I have used many other paint lines and once I found Dixie Belle, I WAS HOOKED! The self leveling the paint offers is incredible! I am considering becoming a retailer (selling on my website once I launch it for my furniture flipping), I just completed my largest transformative project of a 3 piece antique bedroom set (OF COURSE WITH DIXIE BELLE) and oh my goodness...it’s GORGEOUS! I feel like I have turned into a female version of the Ms. Lowes or Ms. Home Depot - I have a full on tool shop (my she shed) of saw horses, elec sanders, different pieces of furniture I am going to flip ..my very own tools that I transform pieces of furniture that need some TLC to a whole new look. I have had MULTIPLE people tell me my work looks done by a “professional” and I should sell it...I have said no to it as I thought it take away the JOY of the process..but now I have a purpose behind it. I have been a follower of yours for some time and you make things so easy to follow and anyone can learn from you if they watch, take notes and give it a try and try again until they have it down. Thanks for all you do to help myself and others learn to be better at our craft! From one SOON TO BE - Furniture Flipper for Profit to another Furniture Flipper - I think you Christina :)
