Sold my first piece a week ago. A dresser
Got it for $25
Spent $45 in materials (just started)
Sold it for $150
Profit $80 and now I have wood glue, clamps, paint, sander, wood filler and tape 😊
Good for you! Inspires me to get started!
@@ashleygabriellapladsen start and make videos as well. ASMR if you’re shy
If you soak the burlap or cane in water before attaching it will dry tight, just a tip!! 🙂
Also if you can make sure that your burlap is straight by starting in the center and then securing the stays. From the front it just looks a little bit more professional in terms of placement to match those wonderful pieces you make. 😉
Don’t forget to pay your quarterly estimated federal income tax payments ... self employment is no joke.....
I just want enough money to buy a car! And empty my garage of furniture I have been collecting for 11 years now! I am a Interior Designer and still love furniture and accessories ❤️ 55 and disabled now and moving so much slower! Love watching your videos thank - you for sharing
I have acquired about 12 pieces. A few dressers, some nightstand, a couple coffee tables, ect. Started the first coffee table today.
Looks like you have your work cut out for you! Best of luck and great job on getting started.

I'm really wanting to get started, but the business side is scaring me off. Can you do a video about self employment and paying taxes?
Hey! We definitely have something regarding this coming soon. But don’t let this stop you. Start now 🙌
Omgosh yes I have been wondering so much about the tax side of things with all of this.
I second Lauren’s encouragement. Even if you start the business part (LLC, SCORP, etc) later in the year, you can still claim all the expenses and info retroactively. I personally suggest an SCorp bc you can offset your personal taxes with any losses/gains. As far as how to file the paperwork, I used legal zoom, and they made it super easy. It’s kind of like filing your taxes on a TurboTax in that they ask questions and they pull the appropriate forms and you just pay a flat fee. 💙
Omg yeah the taxes part was your main question, my bad. I personally just have a CPA I use every year. That’s also a flat fee and the only thing I do on my end is track my purchases, sales, mileage, supplies/equipment I purchase throughout the year on an excel sheet and give it to the CPA.
.OMG THE BEST OF ALL HACKBYCHARLY0 ON INSTAGRAM. ……..THANKS YOU SIR.
What's really awesome is that you'll be painting furniture one day to put in your own house!
And maybe in her own nursery too!
I sold my first piece today! ☺️ thank you so muchhh
Love the table and chairs set!!...."live and learn"....So true
That Mesa colored flip is awesome!!
Young lady. You did not leave TEACHING.
YOU ARE STILL TEACHING....US.
Take a bow.
Btw...no more lesson plans or impromptu class observations.😜😃😄😄😇
FYI!!! One the velvet chairs, USE the bottom wraps for arm covers if you have too. We know how that part gets rubbed off and sometimes it helps to have those covered. A bit of hand sewing if needed, but well worth it or just give the extra material to whomever buys it. Althea
I've nabbed a few pieces I'd love to flip. Getting started is the hardest part for me!
I agree !
don’t overthink it! you got this 🙌
Good luck, Sarah! I started and love it! Just start and I promise...you won’t want to stop 😊

Have been following for a few months now. Finally started flipping furniture soon as my semester ended!
You have so much more of a “lightness” since you retired. Super excited to follow this process this summer.
I think when you don’t sell a piece - if you want to play with your market that is - you ought to try painting it that red or green.
I just think it would be interesting to see if it sells then. I follow a farmhouse channel. If her furniture doesn’t sell, she repaints.
Just a fun suggestion because I think this piece is awesome!
I have a nomination her name is Ashley Coxwell. She is an art teacher in GA. This past year she did a little on line fund raiser. Just to help order art supplies for her kiddos. 🤗. It’s all been new to her. She is new to teaching and has worked really hard for her kiddos.
My parents have that exact Thomasville set except for the really tall dresser, but they have the head board to match. It’s still in beautiful condition!
This was a great video. I hope you continue to do these monthly overviews. You are very inspiring and motivating. I also love the colors you used in these. These all turned out so great. That red Melange was soooo nice. Love watching your videos. Keep going!!!
I love hearing what you earned on RUclips as well. Do you plan to continue sharing that?
I came here to comment this too. Don’t get me wrong, hearing the flip profits is awesome but hearing all the numbers is really interesting.
I was disappointed that YT numbers were not included, maybe they will do it in a separate video. I hope they include both in the future.
You can also make a video organizing the garage :)) and also showing all the tools you use in another one or the same one. It is a win-win for your family and you. Thanks goes to great mama who searches for and finds furniture to flip and parents who provide the space💖
Southern Indiana is watching.
Wooo! Thanks for joining us once again Caren 😁
I would like to see the time involved on these too. Great video! My daughter and I started with an end table in chalk white!
Thanks for inspiring me! I just sold a wicker dresser that someone gave me and the girl who bought it saw three other pieces and bought them all. I made over $500 in a few minutes. This is such a high!!!
Yessss! That is amazing! Congrats 🎉
Thanks for sharing and watching ❤️
Thank you for sharing your journey, your amazing!!
Great profits indeed! Must be even better with the RUclips monies! Well done you! You work so hard you deserve your success!
Will you do a house tour when you do get the house? I know it’s not the same content you usually film but I’d love to see one!
Great job good luck
Super jealous of the French Provincial set you found. I almost cried when you split it up. I have been looking for a set like that to redo for my own bedroom for 3 years. There seems to be a ton back east and in the Midwest, but shipping would probably cost the same, if not more than the price of the furniture itself. Can’t seem to find nice sets in the PNW.
All your pieces look FANTASTIC! You certainly do quality work. I am so thrilled for you and all the hard work you have done. I am blessed by your caring spirit in wanting to help others. I am looking forward to all your future videos. God bless
You are such an inspiration ☺️🤠
Congratulations on all of your flips! It is a pleasure to watch.
Wow, really excited for you and Neiman! The French Provential dresser in the off white has a pop thats out of this world. If the blue one does not sell, consider changing the color to that off white.
What metallic spray did you use on the hardware?
On the French Provincial sets, she said all she did was clean the original hardware!
ThatThomasville set isn’t white and gold so it technically isn’t French Provincial. When it’s wood colored it’s French Country! But after you painted it, it became French Provincial!
This is flipping awesome! Happy you guys are making such a good profits for your future house! 🌻❤️🌻
Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge and talent! I enjoy watching your videos and seeing how you create such beautiful pieces .
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥰🥰
You are a definite keeper. I had a French provincial bedroom set that I thought was awful even though it was in perfect condition. I ended up giving it away and within one year I regretted it. Great work I can't wait for the next video
Bonjour Lauren! Wow! What a great month! Good for you! You guys work hard and deserve it! Have a wonderful day! Christine 🇨🇦
Ever had a piece that you got stuck with because it just wouldn't sell or didn't make any money on a piece? Do you post before and Afters of what you're selling or just mention that's it's recently refurbished on the listing?

so delighted for you with your success Lauren...looking forward to seeing what June will bring for you
WOOHOO! HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So glad I saw this before I went to bed!!!
Keep going .remember is not over into u win .u will get ur house is a fact we Will support u
Wow - what an achievement - well done guys
All beautiful!
Lauren, you are awesome!! I just LOVE all your videos!!!
I’m not sure if we can nominate a teacher, but I know a very deserving 2nd grade teacher that would be so appreciative. Her name is Samantha Guyton
Love your channel! Beautiful flips!!!
I am trying flipping, however, if I lived much closer to you I would buy Your #18 flip/Blueish dresser, it is gorgeous!!!! Keep up the good work.....BOTH of you!
Awe! where do you live?
You're so fun to watch! And you've been very successful quite quickly too. May was a good month for you. But flip #16, I think it would find a home sooner if you changed the hardware. The pulls that are on it seem so small. Child like almost. Idk. Just a suggestion.
Have you considered doing a video on the business side of it all? I'm seriously considering doing this to save for retirement, but it's considered income. I've never done my own business like this. Any suggestions? How did you learn?
Hey we will as I learn more and more from the business end. We definitely will incorporate this into curriculum I am putting together for a future course or two 😉
Is natural wood not in demand right now? I'm surprised to see the prices you get for painted pieces. (But glad you are getting them!). My inclination is usually to stain if possible.
In my market no one at all wants natural wood. I have one piece thats only half natural wood and it’s been sitting for over a month.
I really love the hardware on the red dresser/nightstand set. Hardware is the jewelry of a piece of furniture. Your bright gold hardware really adds to the pieces!
One question: what would you think about putting a clear topcoat on painted hardware?
Thanks you, Dorothy! Yes! I do put a clear spray top coat on it 😀
Awesome on your total profit!!! Congratulations ❣👏
I love the name Finn!!! We named my son Finnegan, and called him Finn. Unfortunately he was killed by a reckless driver who fled the scene, when he was only a few days old. You don’t hear the name often.
You do absolutely gorgeous work. You do work hard.❣️
Nice summary, Lauren ! Thanks.
Nice work!!
Thank you 🙌
This is really tight you're awesome💫💙💚💛💯
Can't wait for new flips!
This is a great video!
Congrats on your new career😃
Hoping to do the same love painting furniture
Just completed my first commission
I am so inspired
Hi... M from Kohima Nagaland the North eastern part of India. I love your work so much n m really inspired .would love to do furniture flipping, but we don't get chalk paints here.. So we have to buy online n it's REALLY I mean REALLY costly..,n the chalk paints n other materials that we buy online are not like the ones you get there..But anyway love what you're doing... Always love watching you videos.. ❤
Thank you.enjoy your videos a lot.
Where did you get your staging wall from and what’s it called, it’s beautiful. I want it in my room😂
Hey! This staging wall - my dad, neighbor and I built from wall panels we got at Lowe’s actually!
i felt like you sold them so cheap!! really beautiful, how would you go about selling them on ebay?
Great video! You do a great job!!!
THUMBS UP LIKES....really help the channel!!
Yes they do! Thanks for watching 😊
Lauren have you ever used rethunk junk paint? I really like it and there is minimal prep involved
Where did you flip #18? I don't remember seeing this flip on your channel OR Dixie Bell's channel.....YIKES--can't believe I MISSED one!
18 & 19 will be over on DB channel this friday and next friday, respectively 😄 You didn't miss any yet!
Thanks for watching, Pattie!
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher WHEW! THANK YOU for CLARIFYING!
Have you considered adding some of Dixie Belle's transfers to flip #16? With that beautiful color, I'm thinking the lace could work, or theme it with some Alice. Just food for thought. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. 🌷
Question: it seems like you flip furniture for profit relatively easily. I'm wondering if that has to with the fact that you have a following now or is it all organic? I'm in a bunch of groups where people seem to be struggling selling their flips. I'm new to selling flipped furniture but not new to business nor new to furniture flipping (it was always for myself). Any advice is greatly appreciated
Wondering the same!
I believe it does have to do with your area. Myself and other flippers struggle to sell anything:(
@@monicaeddy1962 how come you can’t sell it internationally on websites like Craigslist and eBay?
.OMG THE BEST OF ALL HACKBYCHARLY0 ON INSTAGRAM. ……..THANKS YOU SIR.
I'm sure it depends where she lives also I believe she is sponsored by one of the paint companies since they also put her videos on their site. Where I live people wouldnt pay that much. But staging is also a great tip people love to see how it could be used.
I'm curious why clean before sanding? Doesn't that mean you're double working cause you'll have to clean after sanding anyway?
I would love to do this but I don’t have anywhere to store the pieces ☹️
You are very inspiring
I notice there is no sanding in between the coats of paint. Is it that it is not necessary?
Hey Lauren, what would you recommend for someone who has little space and no garage? Can this be done outside in a pop up car shelter ect!? Rather than a garage.
Thanks for the good content as always!
Well, you're still working as a teacher. Just the age group of your students has changed.
how do you get stuff delivered.. and do you have a weight limit on things that you pick up and then deliver....
OK so my biggest struggle is I’ve been trying to sell furniture in my neighborhood and I list my price is pretty low like at the $200 mark or $180 and I get no bites and I don’t want to keep lowering my prices it just really discourages me I don’t know how to make a profit and I do a really good job priming painting and making them look nice I don’t know if it’s just my neighborhood or am I pricing them too high🤷🏻♀️
I would definitely love to do this with small pieces. I live in a private house apartment so I won’t have space to do anything big. How do you go about deciding what a piece would cost after materials, time and delivery. I know I won’t be able to make any deliveries (we have a small car).
Also if Facebook Marketplace the only place you could post and sell? I know dealing with FB Marketplace things could be sketchy especially when it comes to payments or some trying to lowball prices.
Hi Lauren , I know you’re so busy but can you tell me is your Bissell upholstery cleaner their regular one or the turbo ? I’m in Australia so they may be called different names for eg ours is called Bissell Spot clean upholstery cleaner but there’s a regular or turbo and I’m wondering weather the turbo is worth the extra $100AUD =$68US (so the turbo cost $400AUD=$272US VS the regular one which costs $228 AUD =$154 US I hope that makes sense …
do you let your paint cure before you sell your item
How do you decide the price of a finished piece, I am planning to start furniture refinishing
Have you tried DIY PAINT ,Jamiraevintage on utube sales it
Is your husband a teacher as well?
unfortunately my area is not the place id be able to make money from doing this.. i looked on there and no one is selling furniture any where near your prices.. what other outlets can use to sell anything i flip? also the thrift stores here arent great and are way over priced.. i just dont think i would be able to profit enough for it to be worth it..
What do u use inside the drawers?
Just hovering? What about smells of old peaces?
Does mineral spirit sprayed on after hovering help? Is enough?
I don't see anybody painting clear coats inside the drawers.

You didnt list your profit from RUclips this month. You did before. Had that changed?
On average how long does it usually take to sell your furniture pieces?
Lauren! So happy for you two living your dreams! I tried to 'Buy you a 3 Coffees' but PayPal no longer allows those with Landlines to use their service; their improved security has helped to destroy my sanity. TeeHee I use a MacBook and I'm a dinosaur that STILL uses a landline! So sorry! B~}
When you sell on Facebook marketplace do you get payment upfront like through Venmo, PayPal, etc?
What do you mean when you say it’s a commission piece
Someone specifically asks me to do a piece for them how they want it done and pay me for it
hey Lauren, you think even if your not a "creative' or have a "creative" skill set, you could still do this?
I think lots of people don’t think they have creativity. It’s more a matter of getting in touch with that side of you.
Look at Lauren! (Not saying she isn’t creative, at all!). She started by just paint. But if you look at the way she painted and now, you can tell she FEELS her painting. She has also developed an eye for color & metallics. And she has also got a strong talent for attention to detail.
None of those are creative by themselves. But you put all of them together and look what she does!!
I would strongly suggest you explore others. There seems to be a few “flip” painters here on RUclips. Watch them. I’m saying this mostly because in my opinion, it’s partly also the paints she uses. If you’re only going to use latex paint, then you defeat the purpose. Chalk type mineral paints are where it’s at to get the depth you need. (Clay too!) and this is also how you develop a feel for your furniture and projects.
Good luck!
