I ❤these thrifting videos. People don’t realize how much unnecessary waste they’re creating by just buying new. So you’re actually saving the planet by doing these videos 😊
If no one bought new, and all furniture manufacturers were to go out of business, the only choice would be to buy used. So the same used furniture could just be donated over and over again, right? A 20 year old sofa that has been recycled through 10 families sounds great, huh? Seems like to me that there should be a continuous cycle of new furniture that will be resold or donated at some point. Another thought, just think of how many jobs would be lost if all manufacturers and furniture stores closed.
Pro tip; when inserting foam cushions into fabric covers, put the foam cushion in a plastic bag with the opened end facing away from you as you slide it into the fabric cover. It will slide in so easily. Then pull the plastic bag out. Once you have adjusted the fabric into the correct position and zipped it up, steam the entire cushion with your iron. Steam will puff up the foam a bit, filling out the cover and setting the seams to lay flat.
Could steam help a couch cushion that's gone a little flat due to being sat on a lot? I have a favorite spot on my couch but my weight has definitely flattened the spot a bit, lol. The cushions you sit on though aren't removeable. I love everything about my couch except for that. It's not a horrible flat spot, but it'd still be nice to find a DIY way to revive it a bit, other than disconnecting the chaise lounge portion where I like to sit and having the whole thing reupholstered. Not sure if that even could be done with such a couch.
I guess I’m old school, but I think you should have finished the sides of the corner cabinet. It’s just that little extra that makes such a difference when you are selling a DIY.
I just love you and your videos because unlike other “decorators” on RUclips, you don’t throw shade on anyone’s taste or choices or exault yourself as the resident authority on decorating. You show us YOUR ideas and projects and how YOU decorate your home in an informative and humble way, without saying that is the only way to decorate! You also give us such great thrifting and recycle projects to consider as well that makes a home personal and unique. You don’t always spend a small fortune and are very honest as to cost. Thank you for your honest portrayal of all these things. ❤️
@@Ickleme73 Now I'm curious. I'm watching a few similar channels (xoMacenna, Sorry Girls, Alexandra Gator) but I like those especially because they don't do what Clovergirl mentioned. And because I love their style and personalities of course.
@@rneustel388 I can recommend them a lot, on Sorry Girls especially Becky's 70ies house renos/makeovers. :) Oh, and a secret tip: Reissued, still criminally undersubbed.
@@Olivaro10 I am not referring at all to those you mentioned. I watch those as well ( except Mac; totally lost interest). Those must be the only ones you watch or else you would know.
I actually know what you mean, but something that can look really kinda dumb in most settings can just work SO well in others. I also am seeing more shell type stuff and agree its going to hit soon.
@@lonefox Envision a massive mirror (3' x 6'). Now envision a 5" wide frame around that mirror. And it's embellished with shells exactly like those candlesticks. Yah... That mirror exists and resides in Altadena. Been hanging on my Aunts living room wall for 40+ years and matches absolutely NOTHING else in her huge Tudor mansion. I could see it (maybe?) making sense if she hung it in her condominium complex at the beach across from Huntington Pier. Ocean beach = Sea Shells (Keyword: Maybe) 😜
I love these, especially the corner cabinet and chair! Since you have leftover fabric, you should make a few accent pillows… you could first offer them to the lady who picked up your chair, and if she doesn’t want them, sell on your website! It’s such beautiful fabric!
I have to say that when you did the first coat of paint on that corner cabinet I was "OH no, that's ugly!" I can't believe how beautiful it turned out, and the only reason it sold so fast and for as much as it did, is your painting technique, absolutely fabulous... and that chair!! Whoa!! I love your videos!!
Quick trick for zippers. I sew the seam together first, iron it flat, pin the zipper, sew in place and the open the original seam I sewing with a stitch ripper. I found that it makes the perfect zipper everytime! Great job on the flips! They always turn out incredible!
I was surprised at the profit you made. People seemed happy to be getting something from you….people who follow you and your amazing design ability. I enjoyed watching you shop for items and enjoyed your comments….you have a kind and cute personality. You don’t seem to be “ impressed” with yourself and treat everyone with respect….we need more people like you in this world! ( my favorite piece was the little primitive desk) 🥰
You need to show the lamps either working or (& you may have done this) disclose if they need rewiring. MANY people are terrified of dealing with anything electrical & all they consider is the cost of hiring someone to replace them. As inexpensive as wiring kits are now, it may even be worth your time to take the listing down, replace the kits in both & repost them with a header of "Newly Reworked" at your original $200. Bravo on the other pieces! I expected you to use "Retique It" on the corner hutch but the wax turned out beautifully. Thank you for the inspo, have a wonderful, safe & blessed week ahead 💜🙏🏻
@chloeuntrau4588 Terrified of buying an older lamp with possibly worn down wiring, which could cause a fire. And terrified of trying to fix it themselves with no electrical knowledge.
I also noticed the lampshade on the right swinging as he was setting them up. I don’t know whether it needs the finial replaced, which would mean replacing both. But I agree with showing them turned on. Especially as they’re glass and that always shows up beautifully when lighted.
Loved all of the projects (as usual.) When I made new cushions for my step mother's chair I wrapped them in batting before putting the new cover on. Really helps with creating a great looking fit.
I love your makeovers to resell. Hope you do more. Have you ever thought of doing some funky looks when you redo pieces? Like decoupaging or IOD molds, etc. I know it isn’t your style but ppl do like the boho look.
I always wonder what people think when they find out the original price of what you paid for the item and compare it to the markup price! 🤔🙄 But then again, they love the item and it IS a Lone Fox original reproduction!!!❤🦊❤️
Loved it, Drew! I hope you do many more. From finding the items to transforming them and showing the interest each piece received, it was so enjoyable. I think this gives you some great content that you can even make a little money on, while inspiring your audience. The items being purchased by your followers is just an extra bonus.
Next time you use qcs, try using a super fine steel wool instead of a scraper. It will keep you from digging into the wood and will help get any finish out of existing cracks and dings 😄
Love when you do these types of videos! You're so talented and it's fun to see what transformation you decide to do. I've been following you for awhile and I'm never disappointed!
I really enjoyed your reupholstering. I’m an amateur seamstress and I f up my zippers and cases all the time but there’s nothing more satisfying than fresh cushions, pillows, etc. Especially with zippers! 🎉
I love these videos! They’re so cool seeing the whole process from start to finish! Can you do a video on how to list and sell things on Facebook marketplace? Like what kind of description to put, if you put that you thrifted and reworked the piece, how to stage,Etc. i feel like i never have any luck getting my pieces to sell on marketplace 😮💨
Was surprised to see this recommended to me, but I watched to give it a try. Must say, I stayed for the whole thing. The chair you chose, looks like a late 80’s early 90’s IKEA chair. Well done, everything looks great!
Loved this! It shows us a way to make money if they have the energy OR a way they can improve their own home and save money. I know those cushions took a lot of time but you taught us that it really is basic sewing if we want to challenge ourselves to try on something for ourselves. Of course your taste in fabric was beautiful.
I agree. These videos are great for young people starting out, or anyone wanting nice looking pieces for their home but that don’t have a lot of money.
I put my lamp shades in the tub, spray them with 409 and rinse with my hand held shower. Haven't wrecked one yet and super successful at cleaning and removing stains. I tried it after dumpster diving figuring I had nothing to lose. It works!♡
Decorating vases, mirrors, picture frames and anything else that was static, was popular in the 50s. It was one of the hobbies families made money from ( at least here in the UK ).
Obsessed with that chest you looked at! I have one that looks almost exactly like it inside & out except mine is a dark red. I keep all my bed linens stored in it.. but i want a darker or in like a brown or even black to use as a coffee table. I find mostly rounded top chest & of course need the flat top. We used to own A thrift store for about 5yrs when we lived in Tennessee. We had A piece that looked just like the red corner cabinet donated but it was actually a heavy wood piece & very scratched up. My daughter used to do some furniture flips & made that piece over. She just did it in A creamy neutral color, it turned out really pretty. Love the fabric you chose for the chair! I love anything old & made of wood.. large or small pieces. I love the little desk😊 I bought a little table about that size with a drawer, it was old & very sturdy. I had a small 3 drawer cabinet about half the size of the top, in the same color wood. It sat on top of it perfect & so i made a little desk out of it, styled it with some old desk pieces & it turned out really nice! I may eventually strip & restain it, but I'm kind of liking the old worn look of it. Oh i definitely love the chair cushions.. so pretty!❤ I'm not surprised those items sold so quickly! If I lived closer i would have been after the desk & possibly the corner cabinet! Great job on each piece!😊
I love the flips, I think it’s really fun. My only comment on the corner cabinet is that you made it look so great on the front, I feel like you should have finished all sides. You charged a lot of money for plywood, maybe giving a more finished piece would have been nice.
@@lonefox I get it. I think maybe the price seemed high for such cheap quality so that is what I’m really reacting to. I don’t want to take away from what you added though, you made lemonade out of a lemon.
Yea, I was kind of shocked to see the sides after that front was so gorgeous. I get that it's going in a corner, but it def made me draw back from it. Even if only painting with that dark brown and not applying the wax would've made it more appealing.
Great video, love all the flips . You did a great job on that cushion. I love to sew , you should sew something every week just to stay in practice. You will not regret developing that skill.
Hi Drew: just watched episode where you stitched your first cushions. Congratulations! May I suggest 2 steps for your next project: 1) make the zipper long enough to go around each corner ( 2 inches or so) 2) wrap each cushion in a layer of quilt batting. Makes a big difference when chair is sat on. Without batting, fabric will not spring back immediately & leaves wrinkles. Also aids in inserting and removing the foam. Best wishes! S
I love these transformation vids. I think it would be a good idea to include the time it took you to actually do the change and put a wage on that also. Our time is not free. Then you would be sharing the actual cost to market and a true profit for anyone considering trying this too. Just a suggestion.
Your DIY videos like these are my all time favorites. They really inspire me to tackle projects I have sitting around waiting for me to get motivated!!
love these videos. They are fun to watch and the fact that you don't do any crazy difficult upgrades or techniques that would make them impossible to replicate allows most people to try it for themselves. Hope to see more
OMG I soo hope shells trend! I have a few pieces myself, and I volunteer at a Art Reuse thrift store (It's decor and vintage stuff, but also paint and canvas, fabric, notitions, hardware, lights, school and office supplies, fine art supplies (the pro quality paints, pens, markers, pencils, etc), yarn and crochet/knit supplies, jewlery and beading, and more. Almost everything costs between 25 cents and 10 dollars (about 30% of the retail value)). We have a section called "natures treasures" and the rocks and crystals always sell out before more get donated, but we literally cannot get rid of the shells. There are so many that get donated, and no one ever buys them, so they just pile up. Hopefully if they trend we can make space for more rocks!
❤DEFINITELY do more of this type of content!!! These are my favorites and you are so good at redoing these pieces. Plus, it's fun to see how much you are able to make on each item in your market area.
Shades are easy to clean in the shower. Spray with a gentle cleaner, let sit for a few minutes and spray with cool water. If it's a well made shade it works great. If it's a cheap glued shade the glue may soften and you may need to re glue.
I agree totally with another commenter that said next to your room makeover videos, these are her favorites! You have such a clever eye to what can be done to make something more appealing, and Justin has great input, too. The corner cabinet transformation really blew me away!! I would never have looked at that piece in a thrift store and imagined it could look like you made it look! I think the fabric you used was gorgeous and turned out so stunning, but the fabric you saw first and said you need to use in a project in the future would have truly been amazing, too, with a very different vibe. Please, please, please continue these thrift flip videos!!!
Wow... I got soo confused at 26:14 when you started over two times 😅But extremely interesting to see how you do that. ♥I love you Drew and everything you do!
I love it when you do thee type videos and would love to see more of them! You always have such great vision for pieces and they alwaysbtuen out amazing. I loved all of these flips and I was completely amazed at the difference in what they looked like after you were done with them.
I love these furniture flip videos !! They’re so inspirational for my own existing furniture at home and so much fun to watch the process- please keep them coming
Great job Drew! Can't believe that chair sold for so much! I used to have that entire (matching) set of furniture (sofa, loveseat, 2 chairs, coffee table, 2 end tables). Since it had a "rustic" vibe, we put it in our vacation rental cabin.
I love all the creativity behind your Thrifting resale videos. Please keep those up if you can. Another thing I like is watching you take on a makeover of a person’s home. Maybe not the whole house but one or two rooms. I am here in Burbank and my 1941 home has many design challenges. (Having said that, I would volunteer mine… Lol!)
I've just started reselling vintage on Marketplace and am averaging profits per week of the same as I would earn in a day at work. I'm mostly selling smalls because small beautifully designed/made things own my heart, and I am way too disabled to be hauling furniture. But the thing that I'm absolutely loving is picking a few gems from the sea of stuff in the thrift store, researching what I've got, taking some pretty pictures, then writing a listing with keywords that allow collectors/lovers of that particular thing to be able to find it. I know how excited I get when I find the perfect vintage thing and I love being able to bring that excitement to others.
I wish we had thrift shops like this in my area. Drew, you are so gifted. Love these and your home videos. Also, love when you redo other peoples rooms. Wishing you much happiness and continued success.😊❤❤

I don't think it's a waste buying new, it's a choice. 😊
The furniture is still going to be made new whether I buy it or not. Dogs are still going to sit in pet shops whether you adopt or not.
@@xotennisxgirlox if there is less demand there will be less production
@@pamdavis6604 agree. But isn’t it nice to see options? Just a thought

Thanks so much for sharing these tips!

Your dedication to everything you do is admirable! Not only you're amazingly talented but also you bring joy Drew!
Loved all of the projects (as usual.) When I made new cushions for my step mother's chair I wrapped them in batting before putting the new cover on. Really helps with creating a great looking fit.
I had the same thought & wondered why Drew didn’t do the same. The batting really takes the hard look away from the cushions.

I wonder if Folex carpet cleaner would remove the stain on the lampshade. It works on upholstery. Just a thought. Shades look great!
Love all these flips. My favorite was the chair. Would 💕 to see more of these videos. Great job.
That cushion is gorgeous! The chair is so stunning. 🤩🌳
I'm impressed by the cushion cover🎉. It's so satisfying to see things repurposedxand upgraded. You do great work!!
"This is a Lone Fox Home custom cush!" 😂😂😂 That chair turned out PERFECT!!! 😍

I love this video. So fun to see how you transform the items.
Love to see what you like in the resale stores. Loved Loved the fabric on the chair
If you run a rocking wood grain tool over it while it’s wet and then drag a dry brush to soften the effect it works great!!
I agree. I’ve seen my dad do this when he did decorative painting.
@@rneustel388 yessss it’s so effective!
Great video, love all the flips . You did a great job on that cushion. I love to sew , you should sew something every week just to stay in practice. You will not regret developing that skill.
Hi Drew: just watched episode where you stitched your first cushions. Congratulations!
May I suggest 2 steps for your next project:
1) make the zipper long enough to go around each corner ( 2 inches or so)
2) wrap each cushion in a layer of quilt batting. Makes a big difference when chair is sat on. Without batting, fabric will not spring back immediately & leaves wrinkles. Also aids in inserting and removing the foam.
Best wishes! S

Yes please! You and Justin are such a joy!❤❤❤
love these videos. They are fun to watch and the fact that you don't do any crazy difficult upgrades or techniques that would make them impossible to replicate allows most people to try it for themselves. Hope to see more
OMG I soo hope shells trend! I have a few pieces myself, and I volunteer at a Art Reuse thrift store (It's decor and vintage stuff, but also paint and canvas, fabric, notitions, hardware, lights, school and office supplies, fine art supplies (the pro quality paints, pens, markers, pencils, etc), yarn and crochet/knit supplies, jewlery and beading, and more. Almost everything costs between 25 cents and 10 dollars (about 30% of the retail value)). We have a section called "natures treasures" and the rocks and crystals always sell out before more get donated, but we literally cannot get rid of the shells. There are so many that get donated, and no one ever buys them, so they just pile up. Hopefully if they trend we can make space for more rocks!
❤DEFINITELY do more of this type of content!!! These are my favorites and you are so good at redoing these pieces. Plus, it's fun to see how much you are able to make on each item in your market area.
Shades are easy to clean in the shower. Spray with a gentle cleaner, let sit for a few minutes and spray with cool water. If it's a well made shade it works great. If it's a cheap glued shade the glue may soften and you may need to re glue.
Love what you do! Keep it up.
I agree totally with another commenter that said next to your room makeover videos, these are her favorites! You have such a clever eye to what can be done to make something more appealing, and Justin has great input, too. The corner cabinet transformation really blew me away!! I would never have looked at that piece in a thrift store and imagined it could look like you made it look! I think the fabric you used was gorgeous and turned out so stunning, but the fabric you saw first and said you need to use in a project in the future would have truly been amazing, too, with a very different vibe. Please, please, please continue these thrift flip videos!!!
Wow... I got soo confused at 26:14 when you started over two times 😅But extremely interesting to see how you do that. ♥I love you Drew and everything you do!
You could film yourself weeding the lawn and we'd love it. Voice-over is your gift. Ciao from OZ.😊
Aww you are too sweet thank you
I love it when you do thee type videos and would love to see more of them! You always have such great vision for pieces and they alwaysbtuen out amazing. I loved all of these flips and I was completely amazed at the difference in what they looked like after you were done with them.
Try using a product called “fabric tac” for glueing trim or fabric together. Sticks together quickly & and no mess or strings of glue
I love these furniture flip videos !! They’re so inspirational for my own existing furniture at home and so much fun to watch the process- please keep them coming
When you cover cushions, like the chair, you wrap the foam cushion in batting before inserting into the cushion cover. Give it a try.
❤ love to see you shop, craft, produce 🎉
I “Love” these thrifting videos!! I learn so much from them! Excellent job
Really like this series!! Keep it up! Thanks!
Great job Drew!
Can't believe that chair sold for so much!
I used to have that entire (matching) set of furniture (sofa, loveseat, 2 chairs, coffee table, 2 end tables).
Since it had a "rustic" vibe, we put it in our vacation rental cabin.
I love your videos! Especially these videos that you makeover items to sell. I Love them! Keep these videos coming! Thanks so much for sharing! 😊
"This is a Lone Fox Home Custom Cush" lmao! I love you.
I thought that was so funny! Drew's mom
I loved all the thrift flips you did. By watching you, I think I could now sew in a zipper. Yay! Please do another video like this.
Love it Drew. Do more of this content, but don’t stop showing us your home renovations. That’s what I love the most.
I love your thrift flips most! You made each piece beautiful.
Great job on the flips, inspires us all to repurpose well made items.
So excited to see all your items sold. Love to see more.
Love this content and how you give new life to older items.
You find the best things. Love everything, but the desk is my fav.
I love the tapestry fabric !!!!
I love all the creativity behind your Thrifting resale videos. Please keep those up if you can.
Another thing I like is watching you take on a makeover of a person’s home. Maybe not the whole house but one or two rooms. I am here in Burbank and my 1941 home has many design challenges.
(Having said that, I would volunteer mine… Lol!)
I've just started reselling vintage on Marketplace and am averaging profits per week of the same as I would earn in a day at work. I'm mostly selling smalls because small beautifully designed/made things own my heart, and I am way too disabled to be hauling furniture. But the thing that I'm absolutely loving is picking a few gems from the sea of stuff in the thrift store, researching what I've got, taking some pretty pictures, then writing a listing with keywords that allow collectors/lovers of that particular thing to be able to find it. I know how excited I get when I find the perfect vintage thing and I love being able to bring that excitement to others.
I love these videos! Please do more of this. Except for the sewing, most are things the handy person can recreate at home. 😊
More DIY thrifting videos please! You fill me with boundless enthusiasm for trying my own flips.
I would like to see more videos like this. I love the chair & writing desk. ❤
You had me mesmerized for the entire video. I love your enthusiasm. 🧡
Great projects Drew I loved that chair the fabric is beautiful. The small desk is a vintage looking beauty. ❤
these are my favorite types of videos. thrift flips!!!!!!! you can't do enough of them! so much fun.
I wish we had thrift shops like this in my area. Drew, you are so gifted. Love these and your home videos. Also, love when you redo other peoples rooms. Wishing you much happiness and continued success.😊❤❤
More. More. More. Sooooo good! Buy low. Sell high. Yay. Good job. Inspire me to do this. Easy peasy!😮thanks for sharing ❤
I have that fabric, too! Had custom pillows made - wish I could sew like you! It looks great!
Love, love, love the thrifting videos! Those and your room makeover videos are my favorites!
I love, love, love the fabric you put on the chair…and I’m so impressed how well your pillow cases came out! 👍🏼❤️
I love you and Justin. You both work well together. Thanks for a great video.
