I like the velvet chairs. Some of the swivels I would prefer the skirt on. The chairs with the pretty wooden legs I like the skirt off.
our mini poodle used to lift his leg on the chair skirts. My mom didn't know for years til she saw the pee stains. Too funny.
@FurnitureFlippingTeacher I know that you want to spend minimal time & money on a flip but I bet if you sprayed the swivel part gold, champagne or bronze you could potentially get more for them.
That little trim piece on the skirt is called welting
To think my parents had these chairs and when my mom passed away in 2014 ( dad died in 2006) I couldnt give them away at the estate sale in Omaha. My dad is probably laughing in heaven because he picked the chairs out and even reupholstered some, but he always put the skirt back on.
It makes me wonder how much money you can make just by “updating” and cleaning these chairs. When you said “doesn’t this look 10, 20 times better” after ripping off the skirt of the non-velvet blue chair, I thought “doesn’t that look 10, 20 years younger.” Amazes me how tearing off a skirt can update a piece
If you dye with the sanding block, it penetrates the fibers. Debi with DIY paint did her entire couch with the paint and sanding block. Debis Design Diaries.
::: May I ask what episode please? Thx !
You are the Best Flipping Teacher
@@LauraC369Hey Laura! Debi has it in her playlist, she did it several years ago.
Getting rid of the skirt makes a huge difference! The velvet is definitely in style right now and these muted colors are PERFECT 🤩✨
Growing up during the 1960s and 70s, I remember my parents shopping for a sofa and chairs. My Dad refused to even consider anything with a skirt. He always make a face and say "Skirts belong on pretty girls, not furniture." I have always agreed.
JC Penney sold those chairs for about $200.00 in the 80-90s. ( I know because I bought 2 of them. LOL). I like the skirting, especially on the swivel models because it hides the swivel mechanism. Just cleaning them makes them look so much better.
These chairs aren't just from the 50's & 60's, I had a new one in my house in the late 80's early 90's. Wish I had held on to it!
Exactly.
Oh, I had another question. Instead of ripping the skirt off, have you thought about folding them under and stapling the ends to the inside of the chair frame?
That’s a great idea. Then you don’t chance ripping the chair fabric or see holes from the staples
@@kerid9658 Right, and also there would be no stark change in fabric color.
Just wish I could find them in my area.
I’m looking forward to the table runners, throw pillows, wall-art, etc with the velvet removed skirts!!!
🟩🟦🟪⬛️⬜️🟥🟧🟨
I was thinking the same thing ❤😊
I was thinking the same. Make a patchwork out of them and upholster something!
Great vid! Just wanted to point out that with time Lauren does start leaving the double rope band that exists between the chair material and the chair skirt 39:17 42:50 In the beginning she removed the rope band and it left a discoloration line . But by leaving the band on the chairs they look much better. I bet that helped her increase the amount she could get for the chairs. Great work. Congrads on the success.
I don’t comment very often but I been watching your videos for some time now and I really like everything that you do, I wish I could start doing what you do, you’re amazing 👍🏼
Lauren is every child’s favorite teacher! and our favorite flipper!! 😊 Your mamma is such a beauty as well Lauren… ya got to get her a regular guest appearance or encourage her to start up her own channel!!
Gold leaf foil the legs! That would be so awesome!
@FurnitureFlippingTeacher, I have quickly become hooked on your channel and today am picking up a velvet chair to do my very own first flip. 🤞
love to hear it!

How do u deal or avoid scammers on Fb MP? Everything I post on
There is always met with responses from scammers 99% of the time! How do you decipher who’s legit? Any tips or advice? Thanks so much. Your channel and YOu are amazing. 😊
Very informative video. I was thinking...you have a lot of skirts that you're ripped off these chairs. Have you every thought about doing something with those? Maybe you could make some kind of quilt/collage and frame it and hang it in your new storefront. You've got a lot of wall space there for art. That would be so cool, and it would be a nice tribute to your FFT history.
That’s Amazing Lauren !! 🎉 Congratulations!! You and Nieman are a POWER COUPLE !!!
Hi! I did furniture makeover flips several years ago and made good money. I am thinking about getting back into it.
This video is very inspiring, and has my creative wheels turning. What if you dyed the fabric buttons a contrasting color? I wonder if that would look cool!
If you are careful, probably wouldn’t need to remove them. Just tape around them and dye.
I would cut the skirt, then fold it under and staple it so you still have the trim there
I had a red one in my bedroom. Loved sitting in that chair. It was probably purchased in the late 60's.
You can glue short straight pieces of caning into the damaged caning on the barrel kitchen chairs. You'll want to follow the pattern, to make it more invisible. Then, very lightly and & touch up the finish to blend it in.
Amazing! Love your videos. Great job flipping.
Im going be tearing skirts off too. I like those chairs, they are comfy. I had a pink velvet hair from the 30s.
You are so inspiring ❤
Great video!
Yeesh. Good info! Thanks 🙏
Wow - I was just telling my brother and sister - about you and your new video popped up! I love watching your videos!
You are great in your job. I cant wait to see what you had done on all thursdays.
Hulda from Puerto Rico 🎉 Lots of Blessings.
I keep checking fb marketplace for some velvet chairs. I enjoyed your video of the work and transformation.
I’m gonna try this just for Fun!!
you can use white vinegar in your steamer or just mixed with water in a spray bottle for odors and stains! works on carpet too.
U r truly inspiring!!!! U hv taught me a lot!!! N what ur doing for the environment….commendable!!!! U go girl!!!! God bless!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽💗🤗🦩🌴🎄🌷🌻🌺
I love your dark green credenza! The green velvet chairs must not have been used much, because velvet doesn't wear well. From the 60s, that's 60 years old!
Have you ever tried selling with the skirt? I am on some mid century FB pages and the would love to have them as is. There are so many purist out there. I love them both ways.
yes! one time I sold a set of orange ones with legs for $300 keeping the skirts on!
Orange is my favorite!!!@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher . Don't remember that episode. Kep doing what you are doing. So Happy for you on you new space!
This is so awesome! So happy for you and thank you for sharing all this info so that others can do it too! B~}
i meant chair. I am not paying for new furniture. Thanks for all your ideas.
Thats such a beautiful color!! id love to have one. These are from the time when furniture was well made, in the USA!!
Lauren using fabric softener might help ❤
It's great that you always, trust your "gut" feelings.❤😊
What Upholstery cleaner do you use? Your work is amazing!
Awesome job on all the chairs!
This is off subject but I'm curious about your Airbnb. Have you been booking it,?
That bentwood rocker looks like the Thone one my Mother had.
Do you do anything about the fabric that hangs down sometimes after you rip the skirts off? I noticed it on the pink ones I think while you were cleaning.
So, the green chair that was dyed...what about boom fringe in a different color like navy or regular jute? You've created a monster lol😂😇
*boho...omg I can't stand auto correct.
I do like yours though!
I would be thinking of ways to repupose all of tgat velvet being torn and cut off.
I love these videos you’ve given me such good ideas I want to make extra money but I don’t know how to start I like shopping at Goodwill and thrift stores but I rarely see these types of chairs here by me I’m gonna look thanks
Try estate sales
What do you do to the bottom of the chairs where the color is different because of the skirts and cording?
What brand/ type/kind of washer/vacuum do you use when cleaning the velvet chairs .
Doesn’t the bottom have holes left from the staples?…love all these chairs…I never see them…glad you had success with them.
Where did you get that tshirt? Or do you sell it?
Wwhat apholstery cleaner douuse . Thanks
I still like the skirts better. I miss them on the couches too.
It’s called to each his own or opinions are like a Holy-Os…everybody got one
Have you found a use for all the velvet pieces?
Why aren't you stapling the skirts underneath the chair? It's much faster and the finish is neater. And if someone likes skirts, they can hang it right back.
I disagree that its faster…this is what works for me and no one has ever said anything to me about the bottom
Yeah I also hate those granny skirts
What do you do with the chair skirt material???
Good idea would be to actually give it to the buyer. This way they have extra material in case they loose one of the fabric buttons.
I usually wipe my butt holio with em.
I don’t know where you find these chairs because I cannot find them. NEVER.
I want some for myself. I’ve looked and they just don’t exist in my area.
I’m curious about removing the skirt off the chairs. I agree that they look better without the skirt, but they look rather unfinished where you removed the skirt. There always seems to be a line showing that something was there. Do you do any type of trim to hide where the skirt was?
I have to agree with you. It looks so unfinished and you also see the ugly swivel stand. Never would pay what she is selling them for. Total rip off.
I agree. I would remove the swivel legs and replace it with wood legs.
Another flipper discouraged me from bringing upholstered furniture to my home for refinishing and flipping bc of the potential for bed bugs, fleas, mold, etc. that might be lurking in them. I guess she learned the hard way as these things weren’t visible until the bugs spread. Anyone have any advice on how to avert such a disaster?
Depending on how big the upholstered furniture item is, you could wrap it air tight in plastic and leave it be for a while (at least 1-2 weeks). Cushion’s could be wrapped and go into the freezer for a couple of days.
Diatom earth too, then vacuum
Keep it outside or in a cold garage in winter?
Bed bugs are horrible to get rid of, but if it's a bad infestation you'll see nasty brown stains in the crevices, around buttons, and piping.
@FurnitureFlippingTeacher
How do u deal with scammers on FB marketplace? How do you decipher? Whatever I post on there, the responses are 99% scammers. Please advise! Thanks
Are you charging anything for your time?
Sorry questioed answered...lol
I, myself, prefer the skirt to be left on……it hides the rocking mechanism.
I’d love to see you come up with a project to use the leftover skirt material
Any suggestions ?
Always one
@@daniellelala5045 Always one who thinks they are original when they use a line they’ve heard many others say. Several pieces sewn together to cover an ottoman, a window valance, a tote/purse or a pillow. At least the skirt can be really cleaned properly. I could go on, but I said I’d love to see her think of something. I’m not sure who would want those smelly old chairs in the first place. I wouldn’t want to see the cushion…the covers of which can be removed.
I really don’t understand people paying that kind of money for those chairs after taking off the skirt. You can see where the fabric is faded, and now it looks unfinished. And seeing all the unattractive feet and mechanics. Makes no sense. But if people are buying into it--literally--lucky for you.
Everyone who thinks or feels God doesn't care, is indifferent and or mean etc …. Why is the world as it is, evil everywhere… where is God and His faithfulness…
God does judge sin which is evil and if people don't stop sinning they will die for that disobedience,that sin. When God said if you take from that tree you will die He was saying if you disobey, you sin, I will punish that sin because God does punish it, sickness, demons and death. And if you keep sinning I will punish you to the point of death, is that punishment. Sickness is a consequence of sin and it is a judgement God makes upon the people for their sin. All sickness takes its toll on the body and will result in death unless you stop sinning and that brings a reward from God for the righteous decision to stop sinning that brought that illness. Throughout scripture God tells us these things. God does love and there is mercy in His punishment too. He chastises those He loves. His wrath doesn't mean He doesn't love, it doesn't mean there is no mercy, it means He puts His law first and He obeys it first. He punished sin and then punishes sin and so forth and if someone doesn't stop sinning or sins more then that judgment is death just as He said, sin is death. Scripture says we are all responsible for working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Seek scripture, learn who He is and what He said to obey and do it. if you obey Him you live in blessings just like Deuteronomy 28 says and it also says disobedience is curses, that's sickness, demons possibly and again to continue in sin results in death.
God told all the details, and paid for us to get out of sin and how we should live and when people don't live righteous then the world looks like it did in the days of Noah, violence, drunkenness and such lovers of self, pleasure and all sin and life apart from God, life in disobedience to God. Why should He bless sin? He punishes it then punishes sin more if someone keeps sinning. Is it tough people die from that choice they make, their sin and lack of seeking God to obey what He said, yes it hurts. How do you think God feels, He loved the world so much He gave His only begotten son and Yeshua died in agony for us to be out of that sin, taking God's wrath upon Himself so how do I think He feels, grieved so grieved but I know from scripture He always obeys what His word says, He never changes and that includes every word He said. Now Yeshua took God's wrath upon Himself for our sin Isaiah 53. We get peace with God and can come before Him to be heard and we get to be cleansed from our iniquities, sin. Just like the lamb sacrifices in the old testament Jesus was that for us a peace offering and forgiveness offering. We get freedom from that sinful past, from that sin and we get our healings because His stripes healed us from the consequences of sin.
He gave us a way out. A way to start again out of that wrath. How loving is that God gave us His son who took God's wrath for us out of love. How loving just how loving is our God who made a way for us to be out of that wrath? Wrath we deserved by our sin and continued sin. But God so loved the world He gave us Yeshua. Yeshua gave His life to rise to life for us to give us new life. A new creation to begin again a new life, having been born again. Having received forgiveness for sin and a pardon from God's wrath, that very wrath you talk about. But God gave us a way out of His wrath when Yeshua our lamb paid for our sin. Again how loving is that our way out of God's wrath. Our new life. Our second chance to live rightly before our Holy righteous God our being born again to live right because God planned for us to not all receive His wrath yet His son for everyone, one for everyone and a way out, pardoned and free to live life righteous whole healed delivered, how loving oh so very loving that is. All that is in scripture too. Seek and find, learn who He is and obey and see more of it. Mark 4:24 the more you obey God the more He reveals to you, it means that. Matthew 6:33 live it daily and understand who He is and just how loving He always is and honestly how loved you are will be seen felt and KNOWN too. 💕 May you come to understand Him all your days seeking and finding and growing in the knowledge of God in Yeshua's name 💕
Why do you walk, talk and act like you’re half dead? Come on girl act like you’re alive. I know how hard you work but other wise you just drag around like you’re sleep walking
I can't believe people want those chairs after you ripped the skirt off they look horrible they look just like someone ripped the skirt off and just left it all raggedy. I guess people will buy anything.
Wow so
