High profit on my quickest flip! |
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- This was my quickest dresser flip. After realizing there was no maker’s mark, I knew I didn’t want to invest too much time into this flip. I decided to strip the top and tone the body. It wasn’t perfect, but it was better. I took my photos and listed it on FBMP for $250. I probably could have sold it for more because I had several people lined up to buy it, but I felt the price was fair.
Here are the numbers:
Paid $50
Supplies $10
Paid my kids to clean the dresser and
polish the hardware - $30
Sold for $250
Sales tax - $21
Profit - $139
Invested 2 hours
$69.50 per hour

Im pleasantly surprised with the final product and this was a good video of yours to watch( my second) thanks for your honest, open commentary throughout your videos, it helps us understand the process easier,see you again soon, you're an inspiration!
Thanks for the feedback 🙌🏼
Hi from FL! I love it! You are getting really skilled with the color matching & mixing! Nice profit for your time & I am sure the buyer is happy😊
Thanks so much! Yes, she was quite happy 😊
Wow, who wouldn't be proud to have this in their home. It's gorgeous!
Aw, thanks Linda!!
You did a beautiful refresh.
Thank you! 😊
I think you made the right decision with this one Lisa, and it looks lovely after its refresh!! 😍👌
Thanks girl! I’m really trying to balance the business and creative side. It’s hard.
Lovely. It has another life.
Indeed!! 🙌🏼☺️
I think it turned out great! And not bad profit! Not bad at all!
Thanks, I agree 🙌🏼😊
I love it! Great decisions! ❤
Thanks girl! I think so too 😊🙌🏼
Nice work, as always! There’s soooo much good advice for us flippers in this video. Personally, I need to beat this concept into my cranium once and for all that not EVERY piece has to flawless to be great again. It seems to be a concept I continue to struggle with on my flippin journey and I’m paying for it, literally. However, watching you do this and seeing the results, I feel like this finally hit differently🤔✨I’m always so grateful for your Saturday video’s lovely lady, thanks again for sharing your journey with us😊
Thanks Natalie! It was so hard to let go of some of the imperfections, but it was the right decision for this piece. I’m trying to value my time more this year. It’s always a learning process.
A makers mark doesn't mean a whole lot...I have a dresser my Mom picked up at an auction on the 50's..for me as I was just born..we live in a small town and the auction was in the big house across the river..the dresser belonged to a famous explorer whose brother lived in that huge house and he was storing his stuff in there while he built a house of his own on the lake bank..the dresser doesn't have any makers mark but it had gone up to the Artic with the explorer and then back to my town in the province of Ontario ,in Canada..so if you have the story behind it ,you don't need a makers mark.
That’s a great story! For resell purposes, it’s nice to a make’s mark or a good story. This one had neither. 😬😅
But it is beautiful and that counts too.
This chest looks so natural! You wouldn’t know you had done anything to it!
I love it! 😊
Thank you! 😊
That's pretty and danged impressive for two hours!
Right?! Not bad 💁♀️
Great flip! 😊
Thanks! 😊
I love it! I purchased a 1967 Lane dresser for $30 at a garage sale. 😳 It only has a few superficial scratches on one side. I think I will use this technique! I’m also going to try this topcoat you used. Thanks for the video tutorial! 😊
Great!! Good luck with your project 🙌🏼
It is beautiful! I love the dresser’s design.
I enjoy your videos, they are great tutorials! Thank you!
Thank you so much! 🤩
That’s really pretty & I do like dressers that are not too tall. Perfect!
Thank you! 😊
It came out beautiful! I love it! ❤️❤️
Thank you! 😊
Gorgeous as always Lisa! And thank you for showing all your numbers…it really helps to see what is reasonable to us “ newbies”. Quick question, I know you use your carbide scraper a lot. You make it look easy. I bought one and the one and only time I tried to use it all I accomplished was to gouge the wood! Just user error, or a problem with the scraper? . I’m afraid to try again! Thanks!
Thanks Lisa! I specially use the Bahco brand and make sure the blade is sharp. You can buy a sharpener, but I just bought a new blade. Make sure the blade is flat and don’t put too much pressure on the tool. If I rock it to the side or put too much pressure on it then I’ll gouge the wood and have to sand it out. Sharp blades, keeping it flat and not too much pressure. Those seem to be the keys.
@@ivylaneinteriors thank you so much! I appreciate the info my dear Wood Wizard! 😘
I don't like the lined drawers so I really like that.
😊🙌🏼
Absolutely lovley 😊
Thank you! 😊
How long did you wait after applying the gel stain before applying the OSMO sealer?
They recommend 24 hours, but if the humidity is low I can usually do 18
With it having an existing stain and/or topcoat (lacquer most likely) that wasn’t completely removed filling the grain, along with a gel stain further filling the grain…I’m not sure how much protection you’ll get from Osmo in this case. Probably be able to cut some costs and get the same level of protection just using a wax
Well, Osmo is a hard wax oil. Maybe you mean a cheaper wax?
@@ivylaneinteriors Yes and no. Osmo is a penetrating wood finish with wax added to the emulsion (not a film finish). It might have seeped through in areas where the existing topcoat was failing, but not likely. Especially not likely with an existing stain and topcoat/lacquer filling the pores, PLUS gel stain (which would barely fill, but mostly sit on the surface).
Just suggesting that a normal 'wax' (paste wax, etc) would likely suffice if that's the route you'd like to take as a hardwax oil will barely leave behind any protection, if any at all, in this case...and it's pricey when you're trying to budget.
Almost positive this is a Basic-Witz piece. The inexplicable pinstripe wainscoting type thing is very much their style.
I don’t know. I did Google lens and couldn’t find anything that indicated a brand. 🤷♀️
Someone, possibly your husband, always seems to be doing yardwork in the background of your videos( rhis is just an observation,not a complaint)!
It’s all my neighbors who have lawn services. 🤦♀️
Question how do you resharpen your blades (carbide scraper)or do you just buy new ones?
You can sharpen them, but I just bought new. 😬☺️
you need a soda blaster
I’ve seen those, but I don’t think I’d have enough workspace for that.
❤
Thanks for your support, Dorothy!
What's with the Dr. Pepper placement??? Looking for a sponsor??? Lol
Ha!! I keep seeing that in the background too. 🤣 Not intentional, just where we keep it.
There are a lot of myths about restore a finish, most of them, including the comment offered here, are just that.....myths
I don’t know. I’d read it and heard it from several reputable people, so that’s why I stay away from it. 🤷♀️ I’ve been seeing OZ polish by Mohawk recommended in lieu of it.
You're paying tax on sales of items????? Why????? Good job tho..😊
Yep, I’m an LLC and when I sell a piece I pay sales tax to my state. Thanks!
@ivylaneinteriors again why? For a side gig? 🤦♂️
