Lauren, learning to sew a straight seam is easier than running a mitre saw, easier than using a paint sprayer, easier than building a new base for a cabinet piece. Don't be afraid of getting a portable sewing machine and learning how to run it. You can make lots of practical things for your home with just straight sewing. You got this!!!!
I have met you both in person, you both are great people and very nice. Just because you are great people and very nice doesn't mean that things sometimes don't work out. You are not obligated to share with us why you are in an apartment, that's your business and not ours. I just know from the brief time I met you both you seemed like genuine, nice, everyday people. I wish you both the best on whatever lies ahead for both of you. Love to you both from a native Nebraskan
I did stop watching when you were doing the Air BNB project, but I do love your furniture flips, I loved the three mirror transformations, and I love this video, too.
Good luck to you, love. You seem sad and that’s ok. Just know you are loved by many who so appreciate your work. You look wonderful. Thanks for having the courage to switch up your show. We will be here for you and support whatever you do. 💚
Well I am glad I am not the only one that was surprised by your “new apartment” apparently I haven’t kept up as much as I should have. You are a strong (in a good way) and talented women and living alone at least for the time being isn’t bad at all. Lauren you are so talented and I love your videos whether it be furniture flipping which is my favorite but also the crafts and DIYs you do it’s brilliant! Diversifying your channel is a key in longevity and you have the talent to make it a success and the following of us who genuinely care and love what you do. Yes keep giving us new content on thrifting and DIY items along with the furniture and most of all take good care of yourself, you are the only one of you there is so be kind to the terrific gal you are.
Well, I think over the last few months, we have seen a turn in your videos. Your business, not ours. But going forward, don’t put your life out there for everybody to scrutinize. We just love what you do with furniture flipping, don’t need to know all the other stuff. Good luck, kid, you’re still a good teacher.
As a person who survived a divorce from a very public figure in our community. Whatever the reason for the new place.... you got this and take some healing time. Love watching you no matter what. Life happens.❤
I read a lot of the comments and I think it is so cool how caring the RUclips community you have here is. I think it’s a reflection of your content. So down to earth and approachable
Bless your heart!!! Whatever is going on -- which is none of our business -- you give it some TIME. You don’t owe anyone on RUclips an explanation. You take your time to be sure any decisions you make are the best ones for you! We’ll be here to watch you continue to SOAR in your business and your life!
I'm so glad I recently found you. I am fixing to build a container tiny home. 24' x 40' I am going to flip my own furniture findings into kitchen cabinets and storage. I'm going to buy cheap and redo them. I thank you for your knowledge. God bless you
I was struck by how much fun it must be for you to shop-EVERYTHING is like a blank canvas for someone as talented as you!! From a lamp to an entire apartment full of furniture, you can buy anything you want and customize it!! What a gift you have. Can’t wait to see your apartment when done! (Hoping you share with us!) Good luck in all the future holds for you! 😊
Big hugs to you for whatever is happening in your life. Just know you have a tonne of people supporting you, whatever you do. Always do whats best for you.
Good luck in your new apartment and your new stage of life. You are loved by so many people. I love the DIY pillow covers. I'm not skilled at sewing, but ironing I can do. 😊 I would love to see more DIY videos.
I love the furniture flipping but these smaller, decorative flips are a nice change and inspiring to those who want to take on smaller projects. Thanks, Lauren!😍🇨🇦
anything with home decor would be great to see. And sweet lady what ever happened you will rise above it and come out so much better in the long run. You are the talent!!
I think branching out to more sections of content is always good - nice not to have yourself cornered into a small niche - so whatever you decide to do within the diy, home decor, thrift flips, furniture flips, dupes, seasonal decor and all the things space - I am here for it! 😊❤ 👍
Lauren, I always enjoy all your videos! Love your new sofa! If you can do power tools, you can do a sewing machine. To make pillow covers, you mostly use a straight stitch. Just get yourself a simple sewing machine. I never miss your videos. I had also been wondering about the AirB&B. Got the answer after reading through the comments. Sending you a big hug and looking forward to more of your content.
You are such an inspiration and have such amazing vision. I found your channel when you were still paying off your student debt and I knew NOTHING about furniture refinishing. I had never used a sander, knew nothing about sandpaper grits, I knew literally nothing. The only thing I really knew was how to source cheap furniture and instead of reselling it cheaply, I wanted to learn how to actually refinish and make a decent profit. Thank you so much Lauren. You explained things so indepth that I started to gain confidence and then eventually tried refinishing. It has been a couple of years and now I can sell pieces close to 600$ or more. You have inspired and taught so many people and I am one of them. Thanks again! God bless you in all your endeavours. He loves you and cares for you. I thank God for you also and finding your channel. ❤
I had lovely cushion covers from Temu but they were a tiny bit bigger than my cushions, so I left the original covers on them and placed them inside the Temu ones
I love your content! I love the furniture flips but I like the varied content to keep things exciting and unexpected. Lauren, you have a beautiful personality and aura about you which makes you a joy to watch. So just do your thing and we’ll keep watching!
Hi Lauren, I hope you are very happy in your apartment. Life changes constantly. You are a resilient strong woman. I wish you the best. Love your videos. Have been watching from the beginning.❣️
Hi Lauren, I'm really enjoying your channel. Watching the decor video now...just a FYI gesso is the medium that is made for priming canvas. It comes in different viscosities and textures. Available at every art store.
Lauren, I like all of your flips, especially the furniture. However any type of flips you decide to do is more opportunity for us to learn and be inspired to try flipping/refurbishing items we find! You are a joy to watch. Continued success and continue to have fun doing what you do!!!
I'm moving out of my home with my husband and into my own apartment soon and this is great timing for me to watch. I plan to DIY the whole thing and thrift flips are my favorite, so thank you for sharing this type of content! Best wishes to you and your future!
Lauren said she would explain, and I think it's a good idea because Nieman was very involved with the business. Break-ups are a difficult part of life, and I feel for both of them. ❤
When I saw the canvas, I was hoping for a wood frame & you didn't disappoint! I honestly love all of your content, but my favorite is probably your diy room makeovers. Either way, I'm here for it all! All the strong vibes to you & your new adventures. As long as you're healthy & happy, that's all that matters!
I really like the pillow flip with the iron-on adhesive! As someone else who doesn't have any sewing skills, this makes me feel like I can do more home decor flips! Thanks for the video!
Lauren, if you can run your drills and all the other equipment that you use and supplies, you can run a straight stitch and sewing machine. I have every confidence in you.. As far as your picture, or you could’ve colored some of the spackle and then put that up there too
Lauren Ive just updated my furniture thanks to you. You gave me the courage to try and I followed your step by step instructions and im very pleased with the results. Thank you so much 😊😊
Great video, I enjoy the DIY accessories videos. Decorating on a budget and using creativity to personalize a space. I look forward to your videos and think you are a really special person. ❤
Yes indeed…only share what you want to share. You owe us nothing but more furniture flips. Sending all of the good juju. BTW, the pillows were my fav flip in this video
I’m hoping you both are okay. When you said apartment I was very sad. I’m happy for your new apartment and glad to see you’re still out here providing us content. Prayers and positive thoughts to you both. ❤
Hope you are in a good place Lauren. And would love even more videos like this. Get yourself a sewing machine and let’s. See you learning to sew. What fun it would be ❤
I love these videos too. You are so creative and inspirational. Sounds like a new chapter in your book of life. You got this! We love you and Jesus loves you ❤
I'm so happy you're sharing your new adventure with us. Tough times come, but with faith and perseverance, you overcome. I just found you and am now a big fan. God bless our journeys ❤
Love the decorating diy. You can sew if you can do all that you do. Have fun with your projects. That’s the most important thing that keeps you happy and us watching. ❤❤❤
Lauren - we all love you and your content! You don’t owe any of us any explanation about your personal life! You continue to grow girl 💕🤗🤗💕 well done 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💕
This was cool to see you do some crafty projects. I've thought about spackling for art work but have only seen more 'advanced' type pieces before and don't really feel like putting that much thought into it in case I don't like my results. I'm so glad your artwork was reasonably simple but looked soooo good! I can totally cope with that. I haven't made a frame before and only have a mitre box and handsaw but I think this might be a possibility as well. As for the sewing, the hardest part is really setting up the machine and dealing with threading and tension. My first machine cost me only $20 back at the end of the 80s. (I'd been sewing using my mother's machine prior to this though for most of my life.) I'm sure if you put the word out, there'd be someone not too far away who could do this tiny bit of sewing for you. Or, even better, they may offer to show you how to do it yourself using their (already set up) machine. If you belong to a church it won't take long to get the word out. Or you could partner with another RUclipsr and double-up on views to one-another's channels. I'm only saying this as I don't think iron-on tape or fabric glues are meant to be used for anything other than temporary items or decorative items that won't be handled much. I'm not sure how your cushions will hold up over time. I've used iron-on tape in the past but mostly for things like curtains which don't get disturbed too much. The other thing about putting out the word for some sewing help is that often fabric-enthusiastics have a stash-load of fabric they can't wait to give away to someone in need! You could do a load of little projects that help them to decrease their pile. (Believe me- I know fabric hoarding! 'She who dies with the most fabric wins' is not just a funny or sarcastic saying! You would be doing each other a favour.)
Love the apartment. Please keep the videos coming. You are the main reason I started flipping and made a business out of it over 4 years ago. Hugs and prayers from The Red Rocking Chair Customs in WV. ❤
I understand you feeling as if you owe your viewers an explanation, but please remember that you don’t. Protect yourself and your privacy. Sending some love and hugs from New Jersey ♥️
Totally agree. No one is owed any explanation or details. This has been a long journey for Lauren, moving from teaching the little ones to being a full-time business woman. RUclipsrs share so much of themselves and I hope they feel they can keep some sense of privacy and just move on when they need to, with full support of their viewers.
👆🏻This, 100%. You owe no one here any explanation. Take care of yourself! Personally I’ll be here for whatever kind of diy content you want to produce. 😊
Sending you lots of love, Lauren! And I would love to see some more basic woodworking projects, like the frame you just made for the bases that you have made for other furniture pieces. Maybe some things that can be done with just a miter saw and a nail gun.
Lauren I have learned so much from you over the last couple of years. I really like your style and how you explain the steps, easy to understand. Take the time you need during this difficult period. Most of us have been down a similar road and understand how much the heart hurts. You deserve only the best, make sure that is what you are getting for yourself. You will always have my continued support. ❤
Echoing many of the "hang in there" sentiments expressed in the comments section. In terms of content, I really appreciate your explanations/previews of how to use your various tools/woodworking etc... without going into details, I do think we'd love to hear about how things are going at the store etc. when the time is right... looking forward to next weeks video 🙂
I do what you are doing may I make a suggestion for the future. If you had made the three of them all one side green and one side you be Chevron then you would have multiple combination pillows i.e. two green one Chevron two Chevron one green just a bit more variety I think having a green on both sides and chevron on both sides, but well done for making the pillowcases rather than getting them off Amazon. As you said you get the exact material you want the exact design you want and it’s something different no one else.
A framed piece of art that size would have been quite expensive. It seems so much art is sold today unframed. I like how you added the frame. I haven't watched in awhile, so the changes were a big surprise. You are young and beautiful, with so much happiness ahead. Your new place doesn't need to please anyone but you. Savor that.
Your voice sounds sad, I don’t understand why but please know you are loved. I appreciate your guidance in flipping furniture and you are the only one I watch.
Glad you’re doing well🙂 I admire your ingenuity in recovering your new pillows. When you’re thrift shopping you could find a second hand sewing machine. They are handy to have for crafts and clothing repair. You could definitely learn to use it because it’s just another power tool!!😊
Listen..the most important thing I got from this vid…”7 and three ticks (referring to measuring)”… I will tuck this away in my arsenal of furniture makeover terms. Lol
That is what I do, my husband gives me a “look” but I literally think “… and 2 ticks” is the best way to remember 😊 Love watching any content you put out there, I am here for it.
Love the couch, the pillows are lovely. I am a seamstress and when you said pillows I got excited to see what fabric you got. Everything looks so good. Love your sparkle painting as well. I have seen it done before on other channels and no two look anything alike. When I saw yours It looked like little people skiing down a hill in places........at least to me. I am sure everyone will see somethng different....LOL Doing great Lauren.......love your channel and love what you bring to us to inspire. Great video! Blessings
I agree with getting yourself a sewing machine i am far from being an expert seamstress but you can make a lot with a straight stitch. Ive done pillows, curtains, bed skirts a few other things. If you can handle power tools a sewing machine is not hard. Love your videos❤❤
new can induce all kinds of feelings but I hope one is excitement for you as well. I also hope you take us along on the journey of decorating the apartment. Love seeing people try new things and techniques and these projects are encouraging to all skill levels. Well done (love the pattern mixing in the pillows btw) and best wishes!
I enjoy all of your content, Have you ever thought of doing the paint pouring on a big canvas, similar to what you purchased. Just an idea. I live in Lincoln and enjoy all your content!!! Good Luck!!!!
I love the variety in projects. It's really helpful to be able to apply the skills we learn with you to other things in our homes/businesses. Excellent content, very informative and interesting ☺️
Sometimes it can be helpful if you seal the canvas before you add the texture. That way the colors underneath don’t bleed through. I love reusing and up cycling things for my Decour. Thanks for showing us so many ways to reuse ,up cycle and re-purpose. Keeping things out of the landfill.
Love your content with furniture flipping and thrifting. Maybe going to some estate sales videos too. And would love to see a decorating video of your new space if possible.
I await Thursday's videos every week and this week I was so busy so I'm watching on Saturday morning with my coffee instead of Thursday night with my tea. Btw, apartment living is the best. I do my flips on my tiny patio.
Sewing is actually easier than ironing, and so much more permanent. I bet you could sew if you had a sewing machine, you seem to be able to do anything!
Hate ironing. i sew too... less then id like .. been working on other things. I do like using a garment steamer though... its quicker for most all things. but do get the steaming glove. because you can burn your hand. not fun
Be happy! Your videos always make me happy! I love creating!! Life is a trial and error. Nothing is forever. Keep on keeping on!! Cant wait till the next one!!! Stay you and sending positive vibes!!
Excellent ideas Lauren! From the coast of NC, I'm also excited for the next video! I almost feel guilty now when I purchase something that I know that I can create myself. In fact, I've almost completely stopped doing it. Keep on inspiring others to stop wasting their hard-earned money and to start having a sense of pride once you've created or repurposed an item that you'll truly treasure. It's a whole mind re-set type-of-thing, you intentionally begin looking at how much money we do throw away, making others wealthier, when we're perfectly able to re-invent or create something just as magical. It becomes a wonderful journey to also bring your loved ones along for the ride! It's a win-win for all of us and you do an excellent job of "teaching" all of us to look within ourselves. So thank you and may Yeshua continue to bless you and yours!
Lauren, learning to sew a straight seam is easier than running a mitre saw, easier than using a paint sprayer, easier than building a new base for a cabinet piece. Don't be afraid of getting a portable sewing machine and learning how to run it. You can make lots of practical things for your home with just straight sewing. You got this!!!!
I have met you both in person, you both are great people and very nice. Just because you are great people and very nice doesn't mean that things sometimes don't work out. You are not obligated to share with us why you are in an apartment, that's your business and not ours. I just know from the brief time I met you both you seemed like genuine, nice, everyday people.

Thanks, Peggy! I appreciate your support and kind words!

Lauren I have learned so much from you over the last couple of years. I really like your style and how you explain the steps, easy to understand. Take the time you need during this difficult period. Most of us have been down a similar road and understand how much the heart hurts. You deserve only the best, make sure that is what you are getting for yourself. You will always have my continued support. ❤
Love the thrift haul, DIY ing...vids! 🎉❤
I have not watched in awhile, I see you have some changes in your life. Love the DIY picture and pillows. Take care, see you on the flip side
Echoing many of the "hang in there" sentiments expressed in the comments section. In terms of content, I really appreciate your explanations/previews of how to use your various tools/woodworking etc... without going into details, I do think we'd love to hear about how things are going at the store etc. when the time is right... looking forward to next weeks video 🙂
I do what you are doing may I make a suggestion for the future. If you had made the three of them all one side green and one side you be Chevron then you would have multiple combination pillows i.e. two green one Chevron two Chevron one green just a bit more variety I think having a green on both sides and chevron on both sides, but well done for making the pillowcases rather than getting them off Amazon. As you said you get the exact material you want the exact design you want and it’s something different no one else.
A framed piece of art that size would have been quite expensive. It seems so much art is sold today unframed. I like how you added the frame. I haven't watched in awhile, so the changes were a big surprise. You are young and beautiful, with so much happiness ahead. Your new place doesn't need to please anyone but you. Savor that.
Your voice sounds sad, I don’t understand why but please know you are loved. I appreciate your guidance in flipping furniture and you are the only one I watch.
Love your couch plus the pillows look great
We're here for all of your content, Lauren. 🤗❤
thanks! ❤️⭐️
Glad you’re doing well🙂 I admire your ingenuity in recovering your new pillows. When you’re thrift shopping you could find a second hand sewing machine. They are handy to have for crafts and clothing repair. You could definitely learn to use it because it’s just another power tool!!😊
Listen..the most important thing I got from this vid…”7 and three ticks (referring to measuring)”… I will tuck this away in my arsenal of furniture makeover terms. Lol
😂😂 hey whatever works right! lol glad it helped you!
That is what I do, my husband gives me a “look” but I literally think “… and 2 ticks” is the best way to remember 😊
Love watching any content you put out there, I am here for it.
I love watching repurposing. Weather it's just a glow up or co.pmete change in function. Great job! Keep it coming!
Love! Keep your head up!! We love you!
Love the couch, the pillows are lovely. I am a seamstress and when you said pillows I got excited to see what fabric you got. Everything looks so good. Love your sparkle painting as well. I have seen it done before on other channels and no two look anything alike. When I saw yours It looked like little people skiing down a hill in places........at least to me. I am sure everyone will see somethng different....LOL
Doing great Lauren.......love your channel and love what you bring to us to inspire. Great video!
Blessings
I agree with getting yourself a sewing machine i am far from being an expert seamstress but you can make a lot with a straight stitch. Ive done pillows, curtains, bed skirts a few other things. If you can handle power tools a sewing machine is not hard. Love your videos❤❤
I have my mom’s teapot just like that. She got it for a wedding gift, 1955.
new can induce all kinds of feelings but I hope one is excitement for you as well. I also hope you take us along on the journey of decorating the apartment. Love seeing people try new things and techniques and these projects are encouraging to all skill levels. Well done (love the pattern mixing in the pillows btw) and best wishes!
Love all your content. Wishing you all the happiness. God bless you.
I enjoy all of your content, Have you ever thought of doing the paint pouring on a big canvas, similar to what you purchased. Just an idea. I live in Lincoln and enjoy all your content!!! Good Luck!!!!
Great idea! I will keep that in mind for my next art piece! I'll be needing more to fill these walls! thanks!
The new couch is a really good thing. Your DIYs are great with it!
Btw- Find a Sewing Teacher! You won't believe the world sewing opens up for you! 😊
I love the variety in projects. It's really helpful to be able to apply the skills we learn with you to other things in our homes/businesses. Excellent content, very informative and interesting ☺️
Awesome video as always. Glad to know theres an alternative to sewing.
All the best for you and your new place.
thanks!
I love this video showing simple quick projects! I always have trouble deciding what look to go with on my furniture flips. Any tips??
Sometimes it can be helpful if you seal the canvas before you add the texture. That way the colors underneath don’t bleed through. I love reusing and up cycling things for my Decour. Thanks for showing us so many ways to reuse ,up cycle and re-purpose. Keeping things out of the landfill.
ohh great point! thank you and thanks for watching!!
Love your content with furniture flipping and thrifting. Maybe going to some estate sales videos too. And would love to see a decorating video of your new space if possible.
I like the variety.I like to see you shop.I love what you just did.I like it all❤❤
I await Thursday's videos every week and this week I was so busy so I'm watching on Saturday morning with my coffee instead of Thursday night with my tea. Btw, apartment living is the best. I do my flips on my tiny patio.
Sewing is actually easier than ironing, and so much more permanent. I bet you could sew if you had a sewing machine, you seem to be able to do anything!
Hate ironing. i sew too... less then id like .. been working on other things. I do like using a garment steamer though... its quicker for most all things. but do get the steaming glove. because you can burn your hand. not fun
If you use gesso before you paint a canvas, it will make the paint/product stick.
Be happy! Your videos always make me happy! I love creating!! Life is a trial and error. Nothing is forever. Keep on keeping on!! Cant wait till the next one!!! Stay you and sending positive vibes!!
thanks! I am happy! 😊
Great projects!
Love the Venetian plaster canvas!! Awesome idea, gonna give it a try.
Love your content especially your thrift hauls. You are so creative and talented. Hugs
Thank you so much! more to come!
Hope all is well. ❤😊
Thank you! All is well (:
It would be fun to see you try decoupage and furniture transfers. Not necessarily on furniture.
I hate to ask but is there any shop updates that you could show us?
Lauren I would love to see a bathroom and bedroom makeover in your new Apt 😊
What was the name of the sofa company? congratulations on the next part of your journey
Vertu Living
All of the amazing work you do, I know you could sew if you decided you wanted to!😊
Excellent ideas Lauren! From the coast of NC, I'm also excited for the next video!
I almost feel guilty now when I purchase something that I know that I can create myself. In fact, I've almost completely stopped doing it. Keep on inspiring others to stop wasting their hard-earned money and to start having a sense of pride once you've created or repurposed an item that you'll truly treasure. It's a whole mind re-set type-of-thing, you intentionally begin looking at how much money we do throw away, making others wealthier, when we're perfectly able to re-invent or create something just as magical. It becomes a wonderful journey to also bring your loved ones along for the ride!
It's a win-win for all of us and you do an excellent job of "teaching" all of us to look within ourselves. So thank you and may Yeshua continue to bless you and yours!
