I quit my job in the mortgage industry of 17 years and now flip furniture full time.... I have learned a lot in the last 7 months and watching your videos has been a HUGE help!!!
You can make a very good living doing this, but there’s several steps you need to take to make it to that level, two big ones in my opinion is having enough space for a spray booth, you can literally paint an entire dresser in 20 mins, as where it takes a few hours with brushing and rolling, also a store front would be a huge step towards making a successful living flipping furniture. I’m on my way to these two steps, first getting a spray booth set up.
@@RealMcLovin I started with one small end table. I've tried lots of different paints, primers, top coats and brushes. There are popular brands, but it really depends on how you do with each. Practice, practice, practice and I watch as many RUclips videos as I can.... probably 1-2 videos a day.
Really amazes me how generous you & the rest of the PROS in the furniture flipping business are in your willingness to share you knowledge and experiences with newbies and wannabes. Thank you so much for this gift of inspiration and encouragement!
They definitely are but also they didn't make their money furniture flipping. This is a side hobby - if you look at many of the other flippers that talk about the costs they make more money through these entertaining RUclips videos than selling the actual furniture
its called monetize .... you get paid for each view because commercials play before a video starts . her videos are another form of income and im sure she gets a lot of money airing them here .
@@time2cclear, good. I hope she does. She's a natural at teaching and explains everything really well. Plus, her advice is both encouraging and realistic.
I’ve been flipping furniture to raise money for charity. As each item sells the profit goes to a different charity each time. My current project is going to a men’s mental health charity. I love your videos. I would love to flip full time. Painting has helped me so much after my 24 year old son died recently. It’s my happy place. Xx
I just recently tried to flip and sell my first dresser and ended up keeping it. I get too attached after all the time and thought I put into it. I really enjoyed this video and learned a lot. Thank you!
I have the SAME issue. But I am just starting and have only been working on my own stuff, but just picked up some free stuff to hopefully fix and flip 🙏🙏
I am new to furniture flipping. I’m hoping to start a small business and get myself off unemployment benefits. Thank you to you and Dixie bell for the tutorials and products available to the flipping community 💕
I am a beginner at flipping furniture for profit. I LOVE Dixiebelle's products! I love learning from everyone. I appreciate all you flippers that help teach us beginners. It is truly a blessing! ❤❤
During covid I started flipping furniture for fun with a dresser I got for free off Facebook Marketplace. Now I’ve started my own small refinishing business and look for free and affordable pieces everyday to refinish! I’m still learning as I go, but your videos have been sooo helpful and inspiring!
I flip furniture for a profit daily. This is my main income now for about 5 years but painting now for over 10, doing it as a side hustle.

I have flipped multiple pieces for profit in the last few months. So fun! I really appreciate all of the inspiration! This nightstand set turned out so beautiful! I love the light gray!
I started flipping furniture years ago and then stopped after moving across several states. Then, a couple of years ago, when making over a few of my own pieces, I discovered Dixie Belle paint and I was hooked! Now, I'm back to flipping and I'm loving it more than ever because of all of the amazing products available through Dixie Belle, which makes the entire process so much easier!
I've been wanting to begin for a while- this summer is it!!! I saved some extra $ to invest in some paint, brushes and a couple pieces of used furniture! I want to do this fulltime as a stay at home, disabled, solo mom ♡♡♡
I have purchased all my furniture flips from market place. I repair, paint, transform and then list them back on market place. I am painting and repairing furniture every day. Your channel was the first furniture how to do I discovered. Love it. Thanks for all the information and motivation.
Very helpful pro tips. My wife and I sometimes get impatient after not selling something within a couple of days and will lower the price. Will keep this in mind for the future. Thanks!
So before I begin I’ve been subscribed to both Christina @ Pretty Distressed and Dixie Belle for months. They are awesome and I’ve learned sooo much from both! Yes, I’ve tried to flip furniture for a profit but because the Dixie Belle products are phenomenal and the Dixie Belle Ambassador’s teach so many great techniques it’s hard to part with my pieces when I finish them. 😁 The Dixie Belle ambassador’s are such great teachers and very knowledgeable about all the products that Dixie Belle carries.

I've never flipped anything for profit, but I'm finally moving from an apartment into a house next week and can't wait to finally have a shed and a yard to start flipping things!!! 🙌 love your channel and furniture flipping teacher!
@@ashleekindhart Haha same! I also need a truck in my life 😂. I turn down so many things bc they just won't fit 😩 lol. P.S. I think we need to be internet friends! :)
I'm new to furniture flipping for profit but I'm really enjoying watching all you amazing youtube furniture flippers! I'm learning so much and feeling so inspired!
I have this horrible habit of holding onto old furniture pieces with an idea of bringing new life to them but have never known where or how to start. This was the first video of yours I have seen and I was sucked right into your channel and have learned so much! Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge with me.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SHOUTOUT!!! I've been watching your channel for lessons and inspiration since discovering this community a few months ago. To see my channel pop up was amazing. Appreciate your kindness Christina, and great video as usual :)
Yes, I agree using the wood wheels was such a genius trick for the height issue. I have thought of using the spheres or end caps for curtain rods in similar ways before but have never tried it yet.
You’re amazing!! You’re the reason I was able to start a furniture restoration biz during covid. I’d be so grateful to win their gift card! It would help my new business beyond belief. Have a great week, Christina!
I am a beginner, so this was the perfect video for me! I also LOVE Dixie Belle products, obsessed with the white lightening and literally every paint color.
I’m flipping furniture and loving it 🥰 it’s so fun to see something old turning to beautiful and useful charming again , thank you for all your advices 👍
Absolutely loving your channel. I have been sitting here with my 6 year old just watching one right after the other. Was looking something up completely different when I saw one of your videos pop up. I enjoy refinishing different things or bringing them back to their glory days, but I definitely have so much to learn. I’ve always had a love for items with a history, personally. I'd absolutely love to start actually making a profit while making memories with my little one as she too learns by flipping. I've done things for family, friends, and myself personally, but they only paid for the paint and hardware they wanted. Thank you for going into such great details in all the videos. I've already learned quite a bit. Also found helpful information by checking out your other social media platforms. I don't usually comment, but I'm thrilled we stumbled upon your page! Thank you! Have a Fabulous Day!
I was doing this 50 years ago and loving it....my most successful furniture flip was turning old Queen Anne dressing tables into writing desks. Always sold within days... Without social media!
I’ve been flipping plant stands the last month to get my feet wet in the flipping biz, and just finished my first set of side tables. Just trying to figure out how to price them. My vision was a little beyond my paint skills 🤣 but they turned out pretty well. Thanks Christina, for your knowledge and all the hard work you put into making these videos!! ✨✨
Everytime I go to goodwill and look at antique furniture I want to flip it. I enjoy watching your videos and learn more before I try flipping furniture.
Hi Christina - I LOVE that you are giving shout outs to those who are driven to flip furniture to pay down debt of some kind. I want to not only pay down my student loans, but also help fund my move cross country later this year back to AZ from TX. I started painting furniture about a year after I moved to TX in 2015. I have done some great pieces for my home and really turned my home into “MY HOME” I created from my own hands and I LOVE IT! Over the years I have used many other paint lines and once I found Dixie Belle, I WAS HOOKED! The self leveling the paint offers is incredible! I am considering becoming a retailer (selling on my website once I launch it for my furniture flipping), I just completed my largest transformative project of a 3 piece antique bedroom set (OF COURSE WITH DIXIE BELLE) and oh my goodness...it’s GORGEOUS! I feel like I have turned into a female version of the Ms. Lowes or Ms. Home Depot - I have a full on tool shop (my she shed) of saw horses, elec sanders, different pieces of furniture I am going to flip ..my very own tools that I transform pieces of furniture that need some TLC to a whole new look. I have had MULTIPLE people tell me my work looks done by a “professional” and I should sell it...I have said no to it as I thought it take away the JOY of the process..but now I have a purpose behind it. I have been a follower of yours for some time and you make things so easy to follow and anyone can learn from you if they watch, take notes and give it a try and try again until they have it down. Thanks for all you do to help myself and others learn to be better at our craft! From one SOON TO BE - Furniture Flipper for Profit to another Furniture Flipper - I think you Christina :)
My husband lost his job when they would not allow him to have time off when his mom coded 3x and they didn't think she would survive. It was right before the pandemic hit so he still has not been able to find something else in Sales. I'm still working 60hr weeks 6 days a week but we are just making it so we have decided to start flipping furniture. Thank you so much for helping us.
I love that you create a hardwood floor for your staging area. I was in goodwill today and came across a box of hardwood floors. Glad I stopped there first! I'm changing my garage into my workshop and this will be great!
@@lauraholmes9353 thanks for the information. Yeah it has to be one of those because it's not real solid wood it just looks like it. But I love the way it came out.
I have sold a couple and love watching your videos for tips and tricks. I am also inspired by all the support you give one another on RUclips. This is how it should be done, lifting each other up instead of putting down others. Keep up the great work!
I’m super into sanding and staining wood redid my patio bench been hooked since. Figure it’s easy money and I love doing it. Plus I do it all by hand adds that special touch in my opinion.
I’m an artist/Art Therapist. I flipped one piece successfully. It was an old pier 1 maple coffee table I’d owned. I used a dremel to “draw” markings/doodles and then painted the top. I think I underpriced it because I carried it into a friend’s booth at an Art/flea market and it literally sold immediately to someone who saw me carrying it in. This was a few years ago. I’ve recently purchased brushes, clay/chalk based paints (Debi’s DIY and Dixie Bell)... and looking forward to painting and hopefully posting some videos too.
Thank you for sharing how you flip your furniture. I am a exgreme noob and started refinishing my mismatched furniture for my own house. I discovered I really love giving new life to an old piece and making things match. I have a very large family so having matching furniture seemed like a dream that was never going to happen. BUT someone was moving and gave me a few cans of leftover stain, paint and poly..... so the journey to refurbish my old furniture and make things beautiful and matching is now becoming reality. I find free furniture along the road all the time so I want to try reclaiming them and flipping them to supplement just a little income... 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing your “how too” knowledge and pricing sheet. My daughter and I are just starting out flipping furniture and antiques. I would LOVE to try the Dixie Belle line. I have been looking at their products for weeks trying to decide what colors to get. I sold my 1st piece this week and I actually hugged it before it went out the door. I was really proud of it and loved it so much!!
I am currently working on my first piece and doubting myself with every step. However I find that I love working with my hands. Im learning so much from you. Thank you.
Christina, you have been my savior from the beginning of my furniture flipping endeavor! You always have so many useful tips and tricks! There have been many times when I just wanted to throw the pieces Im working on away but thanks to you, I was able to fix them and move forward! Thanks for being such an inspiration and guide for many newbies like myself!
Loved the idea of the wheels to bring up the height. The tables came out beautiful. I flipped my first piece using Dixie Belle Silk paint in Nautical. I had a few brush stroke problems but I’m sure it will get better with time. Thanks for all the helpful videos you put out, I love watching them. Can’t wait to try some of the things that I have learned from you 😊 Have a Blessed day 🙏🏻
My sister turned me on to this channel. Love the projects. I recently made the cabinets doors for my bathroom and it’s totally got me jazzed to do more woodwork. My dad refinished countless antiques pieces in his retirement years. The whole space brings back such good mementoes while creating more
Thanks so much for sharing all your amazing wisdom! So wonderful to have such a wealth of info available while getting started learning a new skill, particularly one as initially intimidating as restoring/flipping furniture! I’ve been loving getting into as a hobby/creative outlet but also as an unexpected saving grace source of income that’s kept me afloat through tumultuous times. Everything I flipped I’ve gotten for free, many I simply found put out on the curb as trash. I think my best find so far was a scratched up pair of leather high back chairs that definitely started out looking pretty rough but after pouring some serious tlc into the leather and shining up brass detailing I hadn’t even seen was there below all the grody they turned out kinda gorgeous I have to say and they sold right away to a couple who was THRILLED to have them for “only $600”! I have a crazy cool old orange velvet wicker armchair I am working on bringing back to its former glory and Considering it making it my first attempt at painting fabric furniture.. The thought is equally enticing and terrifying!
Back in the day, I used to uy refinish furniture for my home. Lately I am finding myself watching instagram flippers, regretting that I have items in my house that I have wanted to refinish for years now but don't know what the best process and materials to use now. No one seems to provide you with ample information. So I spend my RUclips to look for an entirely other topic and there you were in the random video list. I am so glad I watched. You gave concise and great directions and tips as well as a budget and time calculator that I was looking for. Thank you so much. I feel like I can now get started again.
I started flipping furniture for a profit in February and I love it! It's been such a good way to save for a house down payment. Thanks to your videos for helping to learn more about the process, the quality of my flips just keep getting better ☺️
I'm just starting out on my flipping furniture journey. Picking up a book shelf and a dresser later on today to practice on. Watching this video for some tips & tricks!
Thanks for the shoutout Christina! They turned out great 🤗 Definitely the hardest part about flipping is waiting for the right buyer and being patient to get full price! Good luck with the sale! 😉
YES! I am flipping furniture, however, I only have one piece inside a boutique mail mart. I've had many people interested but no offers. I do have it listed on marketplace as well. I am in the process of painting a side table then stencil the top with a checkerboard. I will be screwing in a hook on the side to hold the checkers in their bag so they don't get lost. Thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much Christina for another video full of amazing tips! Thank you for being so generous in sharing with all of us. ❤️ I have not flipped my first piece yet but this video has motivated me to spread my wings! Thank you 🙏
These tables look completely like they go together.....adding the height to the one table is such a simple solution that I would never think to do. Thank you for sharing all your great ideas. 😊
I love how these turned out and using those wheels was such a great idea!! I haven’t started flipping furniture yet but I have a few pieces that I want to flip, I’m just so nervous to actually do it. My plan is now that it’s getting warmer outside to start working on the pieces and get them sold to start paying off our home loan.
Yes, I've been flipping furniture for over a year. I've gotten quite a few pieces for free. I've learned a lot watching your channel and often recommend others watch too! It's been very profitable so far.
Can you share a little bit of your experience flipping furniture and being a stay home mom? I’m currently pregnant, and plan on doing this to help pay some bills and such, but not sure where to start. Thank you so much in advance!!!
@@bibiguajardo2495 I flipped my first piece while pregnant with my now 4 year old. I mainly would work during nap time and in the evening when my husband was home but while my babies were small they were happy to watch from their bouncer or swing. I made sure to use safe products and pick smaller projects because I would do a lot of them in my kitchen. When my babies got more mobile things got harder and I had to baby gate them away from the projects but you just find ways to make it work. Being mom all day to little people is hard on it’s own! So set realistic goals and be flexible with yourself.
Wow these came out perfect! I want to start flipping and this gave me so much confidence that’s it’s possible. Love the flipping community and how willing people are to help others 💕🤘🏾
Use to flip all the time. Furnished my entire house flipping. Made handsome profits. I paid $35 for chest of drawers. Sold for $350. Didn't even have to refinish or paint.
They turned out great! They'll sell, they're beautiful. I'm working on my first piece to sell, I'm excited to list it soon. I can only afford Waverly paints now but I'd love to try Dixie Belle eventually! BTW, the little wooden craft tires were absolutely ingenious!
I flipped a piece for myself before watching your video and a friend encouraged me to list it to see if I can make money. I got 3 offers in 30min and it was listed for $300. Your video is going to help me get better at it so I can really get the ball moving❤ I love when ppl share their knowledge thank you
Thank you for the straightforward helpful tips you always give! Love using the Dixie Belle products. I have my first flipped piece listed on fb marketplace as of yesterday. A few inquiries but no commitments yet so I'm hoping that means it's priced just right. Love your work!
I started painting furniture 20 plus years ago before flipping was popular... loving the Dixie Belle paints and products and still love flipping furniture..
I have been painting furniture for about 6 months and I am loving it ! I think I found my calling, And it's much cheaper than therapy. I have not yet gotten brave enough to flip anything for profit, but it is my next move. I Everything you do is beautiful and I have learned so much from watching your videos, So thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us.
I absolutely love all of your videos. I'm a newbie to refurbishing furniture but have done a few pieces around my house and I'm addicted! You tubers like you make it so much fun. Thank you for all of your tips and tricks!
I’m actually just starting my own business with my sons girlfriend, called Ageless “What’s Old Is New” we have sold a quite few pieces of furniture in the past few months. It’s a passion that I have always dreamt of doing and now it’s becoming a reality. It’s very exciting, but we still have much to learn. That’s why I’m always watching your videos and others peoples videos to teach me what to do and not to do. I love learning new things cause it gets me excited about future projects. So thank you for always being there for your viewers.💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I started a couple of weeks ago with good furniture that people leave on the dumpsters on the apartments that I live.Is amazing how much good stuff people throw away.
Yes I have flipped only 3 pieces.. I'm currently working on a set of real wood homemade night stands I found on market place for 20.00 to flip for a profit.. I watch all these videos for encouragement and ideas and of course learning..I have done several of my own pieces over the years... Thank you for all your tutorials.. Love you much
This video was perfect timing. I just listed my first piece on market place and realized after watching the video that I need to make a few changes with my listing. The tables turned out beautiful. Thank You so much!!
I had a vanity I bought for myself way back in the 90s. It had been in storage for the last 10 yrs and fixed it up for myself with milk paint. Months later no longer needed it and sold it . I’ve been wanting to start flipping furniture for the last couple years but never had the space . Now I do and hoping to do that for a some side money. I really enjoy doing it :).
I absolutely loved this video! You were very detailed of product’s names you were using, how you used them, and inserted tips you have found works best!
Wooden Tires who knew! I love the simplicity of the finished pieces and the fact that they are the same but different. The are a Lady and Gentleman's set the lady would need the larger drawer for her books, hand cream.... Good Luck on the sale!
I have been upcycling furniture for over 25 years - back to my university days where I took hand-me-downs from my grandparents house to furnish my first apartments. Fast forward to now and I have finally branched out to selling what I paint!
That was so nice to give a shout to new youtubers - I am in the process of buying equipment to try and start a channel. I LOVE furniture flipping and in just 4 months, my business has really taken off. Now it's time to take the next step!
I started out flipping old jewelry boxes! I love it and so do my customers! Also I have to say Dixie Belle is my favorite paint to use! Goes on so smooth!
I’ve never refurbished and flipped a piece before but I’ve been so inspired by yourself and other flippers that today I purchased my first ever project piece from my local ReStore for $20
I have only flipped one thing for profit. Most pieces I flip for my home. But I have been looking for my next piece to flip for resale. Thanks for sharing your process!
These turned out great and make wonderful set. The little wooden wheel was a great idea! You can't even tell that's what it is. I have never flipped furniture, I just have painted my own stuff to update it. We moved to a smaller home over a year ago and don't have any room to paint and store furniture, no garage no basement so I have to paint in my livingroom entrance. I wish I had the room because I love what I have done so far and have plans to do several more projects.
Amazed how you made them work together 👍, super cute!!
Congratulations, you are the winner!!! 🎉

@@ashleekindhart Haha same! I also need a truck in my life 😂. I turn down so many things bc they just won't fit 😩 lol. P.S. I think we need to be internet friends! :)
I'm new to furniture flipping for profit but I'm really enjoying watching all you amazing youtube furniture flippers! I'm learning so much and feeling so inspired!
I have tried to flip a few pieces. I do enjoy the process of re creating a old piece. Thank you for all the education and inspiration ❤️
I have this horrible habit of holding onto old furniture pieces with an idea of bringing new life to them but have never known where or how to start. This was the first video of yours I have seen and I was sucked right into your channel and have learned so much! Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge with me.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SHOUTOUT!!! I've been watching your channel for lessons and inspiration since discovering this community a few months ago. To see my channel pop up was amazing. Appreciate your kindness Christina, and great video as usual :)
I have never flipped a piece of furniture but I really want to give it a go. You are so inspiring.
Yes, I agree using the wood wheels was such a genius trick for the height issue. I have thought of using the spheres or end caps for curtain rods in similar ways before but have never tried it yet.
Newbie over here! So excited to make old pieces beautiful again. It’s the best feeling about flipping furniture.
You’re amazing!! You’re the reason I was able to start a furniture restoration biz during covid. I’d be so grateful to win their gift card! It would help my new business beyond belief. Have a great week, Christina!
I am a beginner, so this was the perfect video for me! I also LOVE Dixie Belle products, obsessed with the white lightening and literally every paint color.
Awesome!
I’m flipping furniture and loving it 🥰 it’s so fun to see something old turning to beautiful and useful charming again , thank you for all your advices 👍
Really amazes me how generous you & the rest of the PROS in the furniture flipping business are in your willingness
Absolutely loving your channel. I have been sitting here with my 6 year old just watching one right after the other. Was looking something up completely different when I saw one of your videos pop up. I enjoy refinishing different things or bringing them back to their glory days, but I definitely have so much to learn. I’ve always had a love for items with a history, personally. I'd absolutely love to start actually making a profit while making memories with my little one as she too learns by flipping. I've done things for family, friends, and myself personally, but they only paid for the paint and hardware they wanted. Thank you for going into such great details in all the videos. I've already learned quite a bit. Also found helpful information by checking out your other social media platforms. I don't usually comment, but I'm thrilled we stumbled upon your page! Thank you! Have a Fabulous Day!
I was doing this 50 years ago and loving it....my most successful furniture flip was turning old Queen Anne dressing tables into writing desks. Always sold within days... Without social media!
I’ve been flipping plant stands the last month to get my feet wet in the flipping biz, and just finished my first set of side tables. Just trying to figure out how to price them. My vision was a little beyond my paint skills 🤣 but they turned out pretty well. Thanks Christina, for your knowledge and all the hard work you put into making these videos!! ✨✨
Everytime I go to goodwill and look at antique furniture I want to flip it. I enjoy watching your videos and learn more before I try flipping furniture.
Just starting my furniture flipping journey. Painting my first "custom" job now! Thank you for sharing with us!
I have iPhone 12 Pro Max for sale at affordable price, I’m upgrading to iphone 14 pro max
Hi Christina - I LOVE that you are giving shout outs to those who are driven to flip furniture to pay down debt of some kind. I want to not only pay down my student loans, but also help fund my move cross country later this year back to AZ from TX. I started painting furniture about a year after I moved to TX in 2015. I have done some great pieces for my home and really turned my home into “MY HOME” I created from my own hands and I LOVE IT! Over the years I have used many other paint lines and once I found Dixie Belle, I WAS HOOKED! The self leveling the paint offers is incredible! I am considering becoming a retailer (selling on my website once I launch it for my furniture flipping), I just completed my largest transformative project of a 3 piece antique bedroom set (OF COURSE WITH DIXIE BELLE) and oh my goodness...it’s GORGEOUS! I feel like I have turned into a female version of the Ms. Lowes or Ms. Home Depot - I have a full on tool shop (my she shed) of saw horses, elec sanders, different pieces of furniture I am going to flip ..my very own tools that I transform pieces of furniture that need some TLC to a whole new look. I have had MULTIPLE people tell me my work looks done by a “professional” and I should sell it...I have said no to it as I thought it take away the JOY of the process..but now I have a purpose behind it. I have been a follower of yours for some time and you make things so easy to follow and anyone can learn from you if they watch, take notes and give it a try and try again until they have it down. Thanks for all you do to help myself and others learn to be better at our craft! From one SOON TO BE - Furniture Flipper for Profit to another Furniture Flipper - I think you Christina :)
My husband lost his job when they would not allow him to have time off when his mom coded 3x and they didn't think she would survive. It was right before the pandemic hit so he still has not been able to find something else in Sales. I'm still working 60hr weeks 6 days a week but we are just making it so we have decided to start flipping furniture. Thank you so much for helping us.
What a great solution to add height to the shorter table! I love that you made a "pair" that clearly go together but are not "matchy-matchy"!! Thanks!
I love that you create a hardwood floor for your staging area. I was in goodwill today and came across a box of hardwood floors. Glad I stopped there first! I'm changing my garage into my workshop and this will be great!
Use vinyl planks that look like wood for water resistance. She uses a laminate or vinyl plank, not real hardwood
If it is real wood it is likely engineered plank, versus solid hardwood 😜
@@lauraholmes9353 thanks for the information. Yeah it has to be one of those because it's not real solid wood it just looks like it. But I love the way it came out.
I have sold a couple and love watching your videos for tips and tricks. I am also inspired by all the support you give one another on RUclips. This is how it should be done, lifting each other up instead of putting down others. Keep up the great work!
I’m super into sanding and staining wood redid my patio bench been hooked since. Figure it’s easy money and I love doing it. Plus I do it all by hand adds that special touch in my opinion.
I’m an artist/Art Therapist. I flipped one piece successfully. It was an old pier 1 maple coffee table I’d owned. I used a dremel to “draw” markings/doodles and then painted the top. I think I underpriced it because I carried it into a friend’s booth at an Art/flea market and it literally sold immediately to someone who saw me carrying it in. This was a few years ago. I’ve recently purchased brushes, clay/chalk based paints (Debi’s DIY and Dixie Bell)... and looking forward to painting and hopefully posting some videos too.
Thank you for sharing how you flip your furniture. I am a exgreme noob and started refinishing my mismatched furniture for my own house. I discovered I really love giving new life to an old piece and making things match. I have a very large family so having matching furniture seemed like a dream that was never going to happen. BUT someone was moving and gave me a few cans of leftover stain, paint and poly..... so the journey to refurbish my old furniture and make things beautiful and matching is now becoming reality. I find free furniture along the road all the time so I want to try reclaiming them and flipping them to supplement just a little income... 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing your “how too” knowledge and pricing sheet. My daughter and I are just starting out flipping furniture and antiques. I would LOVE to try the Dixie Belle line. I have been looking at their products for weeks trying to decide what colors to get. I sold my 1st piece this week and I actually hugged it before it went out the door. I was really proud of it and loved it so much!!
I love that!
I am currently working on my first piece and doubting myself with every step. However I find that I love working with my hands. Im learning so much from you. Thank you.
Christina, you have been my savior from the beginning of my furniture flipping endeavor! You always have so many useful tips and tricks! There have been many times when I just wanted to throw the pieces Im working on away but thanks to you, I was able to fix them and move forward! Thanks for being such an inspiration and guide for many newbies like myself!
I’ve successfully flipped and sold 3 pieces and I’m hooked! I watch and LOVE all the channels you shouted out. Y’all are so inspiring!
That is awesome!
Loved the idea of the wheels to bring up the height. The tables came out beautiful. I flipped my first piece using Dixie Belle Silk paint in Nautical. I had a few brush stroke problems but I’m sure it will get better with time. Thanks for all the helpful videos you put out, I love watching them. Can’t wait to try some of the things that I have learned from you 😊 Have a Blessed day 🙏🏻
My sister turned me on to this channel. Love the projects. I recently made the cabinets doors for my bathroom and it’s totally got me jazzed to do more woodwork. My dad refinished countless antiques pieces in his retirement years. The whole space brings back such good mementoes while creating more
Thanks so much for sharing all your amazing wisdom! So wonderful to have such a wealth of info available while getting started learning a new skill, particularly one as initially intimidating as restoring/flipping furniture! I’ve been loving getting into as a hobby/creative outlet but also as an unexpected saving grace source of income that’s kept me afloat through tumultuous times. Everything I flipped I’ve gotten for free, many I simply found put out on the curb as trash. I think my best find so far was a scratched up pair of leather high back chairs that definitely started out looking pretty rough but after pouring some serious tlc into the leather and shining up brass detailing I hadn’t even seen was there below all the grody they turned out kinda gorgeous I have to say and they sold right away to a couple who was THRILLED to have them for “only $600”! I have a crazy cool old orange velvet wicker armchair I am working on bringing back to its former glory and Considering it making it my first attempt at painting fabric furniture.. The thought is equally enticing and terrifying!
Back in the day, I used to uy refinish furniture for my home. Lately I am finding myself watching instagram flippers, regretting that I have items in my house that I have wanted to refinish for years now but don't know what the best process and materials to use now. No one seems to provide you with ample information. So I spend my RUclips to look for an entirely other topic and there you were in the random video list. I am so glad I watched. You gave concise and great directions and tips as well as a budget and time calculator that I was looking for. Thank you so much. I feel like I can now get started again.
I started flipping furniture for a profit in February and I love it! It's been such a good way to save for a house down payment. Thanks to your videos for helping to learn more about the process, the quality of my flips just keep getting better ☺️
Same thing me and my girlfriend are doing! It truly is a great thing.
I'm just starting out on my flipping furniture journey. Picking up a book shelf and a dresser later on today to practice on. Watching this video for some tips & tricks!
Thanks for the shoutout Christina! They turned out great 🤗 Definitely the hardest part about flipping is waiting for the right buyer and being patient to get full price! Good luck with the sale! 😉
YES! I am flipping furniture, however, I only have one piece inside a boutique mail mart. I've had many people interested but no offers. I do have it listed on marketplace as well. I am in the process of painting a side table then stencil the top with a checkerboard. I will be screwing in a hook on the side to hold the checkers in their bag so they don't get lost.
Thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much Christina for another video full of amazing tips! Thank you for being so generous in sharing with all of us. ❤️ I have not flipped my first piece yet but this video has motivated me to spread my wings! Thank you 🙏
These tables look completely like they go together.....adding the height to the one table is such a simple solution that I would never think to do. Thank you for sharing all your great ideas. 😊
Thanks, Christy!
I’ve been watching you and I just flipped my first piece! It’s been so much fun. Thanks for the tips and inspiration 😘
I have not flipped furniture yet but I've been watching and trying more about it. All furniture painting so far has just been for personal use.
I love how these turned out and using those wheels was such a great idea!! I haven’t started flipping furniture yet but I have a few pieces that I want to flip, I’m just so nervous to actually do it. My plan is now that it’s getting warmer outside to start working on the pieces and get them sold to start paying off our home loan.
Yes, I've been flipping furniture for over a year. I've gotten quite a few pieces for free. I've learned a lot watching your channel and often recommend others watch too! It's been very profitable so far.
That is awesome!
I’ve been flipping furniture for 4+ years after I left the workforce to be a stay at home mom!
Can you share a little bit of your experience flipping furniture and being a stay home mom? I’m currently pregnant, and plan on doing this to help pay some bills and such, but not sure where to start. Thank you so much in advance!!!
@@bibiguajardo2495 I flipped my first piece while pregnant with my now 4 year old. I mainly would work during nap time and in the evening when my husband was home but while my babies were small they were happy to watch from their bouncer or swing. I made sure to use safe products and pick smaller projects because I would do a lot of them in my kitchen. When my babies got more mobile things got harder and I had to baby gate them away from the projects but you just find ways to make it work. Being mom all day to little people is hard on it’s own! So set realistic goals and be flexible with yourself.
How long it take the refurbished furniture before you sell it? Some times my refurbished furniture it takes more than 2 months 🙁🙁
They turned out great,! For nightstands they are like ma bear (small front) & papa bear (large front) --- great for a married couple's bedroom.
Wow these came out perfect! I want to start flipping and this gave me so much confidence that’s it’s possible. Love the flipping community and how willing people are to help others 💕🤘🏾
Use to flip all the time.
Furnished my entire house flipping. Made handsome profits. I paid $35 for chest of drawers. Sold for $350. Didn't even have to refinish or paint.
They turned out great! They'll sell, they're beautiful. I'm working on my first piece to sell, I'm excited to list it soon. I can only afford Waverly paints now but I'd love to try Dixie Belle eventually!
BTW, the little wooden craft tires were absolutely ingenious!
I flipped a piece for myself before watching your video and a friend encouraged me to list it to see if I can make money. I got 3 offers in 30min and it was listed for $300. Your video is going to help me get better at it so I can really get the ball moving❤ I love when ppl share their knowledge thank you
I'm so excited for this one! I'm just starting my furniture flipping adventure and am eager to hear your advice!
Yes, I have salvaged and sold furniture -- thanks to Christina and her videos!
Wonderful!
Thank you for the straightforward helpful tips you always give! Love using the Dixie Belle products.
I have my first flipped piece listed on fb marketplace as of yesterday. A few inquiries but no commitments yet so I'm hoping that means it's priced just right. Love your work!
I started painting furniture 20 plus years ago before flipping was popular... loving the Dixie Belle paints and products and still love flipping furniture..
I have been painting furniture for about 6 months and I am loving it ! I think I found my calling, And it's much cheaper than therapy. I have not yet gotten brave enough to flip anything for profit, but it is my next move. I Everything you do is beautiful and I have learned so much from watching your videos, So thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us.
Please never stop making these videos!! I’ve used these videos to help flip 2 dressers and a table + chairs ♥️♥️♥️
We refinished and resold furniture and lawn mowers, bicycles and it helped my some go to college...
I absolutely love all of your videos. I'm a newbie to refurbishing furniture but have done a few pieces around my house and I'm addicted! You tubers like you make it so much fun. Thank you for all of your tips and tricks!
I’m actually just starting my own business with my sons girlfriend, called Ageless “What’s Old Is New” we have sold a quite few pieces of furniture in the past few months. It’s a passion that I have always dreamt of doing and now it’s becoming a reality. It’s very exciting, but we still have much to learn. That’s why I’m always watching your videos and others peoples videos to teach me what to do and not to do. I love learning new things cause it gets me excited about future projects. So thank you for always being there for your viewers.💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I started a couple of weeks ago with good furniture that people leave on the dumpsters on the apartments that I live.Is amazing how much good stuff people throw away.
Yes I have flipped only 3 pieces.. I'm currently working on a set of real wood homemade night stands I found on market place for 20.00 to flip for a profit.. I watch all these videos for encouragement and ideas and of course learning..I have done several of my own pieces over the years... Thank you for all your tutorials.. Love you much
I havent redone and flipped furniture yet, I just bought 1st piece for my own home to redo. But I have done smalls and sold then and I love it!
This video was perfect timing. I just listed my first piece on market place and realized after watching the video that I need to make a few changes with my listing. The tables turned out beautiful. Thank You so much!!
Glad it was helpful!
I've never flipped for money but for gifts and to keep. I'm just getting started trying it. Awesome video, thank you
I had a vanity I bought for myself way back in the 90s. It had been in storage for the last 10 yrs and fixed it up for myself with milk paint. Months later no longer needed it and sold it . I’ve been wanting to start flipping furniture for the last couple years but never had the space . Now I do and hoping to do that for a some side money. I really enjoy doing it :).
I absolutely loved this video! You were very detailed of product’s names you were using, how you used them, and inserted tips you have found works best!
I love how you make a set out of two different pieces....Especially love your resourcefulness in using those little wooden tires!!!
Wooden Tires who knew! I love the simplicity of the finished pieces and the fact that they are the same but different. The are a Lady and Gentleman's set the lady would need the larger drawer for her books, hand cream.... Good Luck on the sale!
I have been upcycling furniture for over 25 years - back to my university days where I took hand-me-downs from my grandparents house to furnish my first apartments. Fast forward to now and I have finally branched out to selling what I paint!
That was so nice to give a shout to new youtubers - I am in the process of buying equipment to try and start a channel. I LOVE furniture flipping and in just 4 months, my business has really taken off. Now it's time to take the next step!
I am brand new at flipping furniture and am planning to try out the Dixie Belle brand. Stayed up all night watching videos, I am hooked.
Non refundable Deposit is a must. So many tire kickers out there and time is valuable. Thanks for the great tutorial
I started out flipping old jewelry boxes! I love it and so do my customers! Also I have to say Dixie Belle is my favorite paint to use! Goes on so smooth!
I’ve never refurbished and flipped a piece before but I’ve been so inspired by yourself and other flippers that today I purchased my first ever project piece from my local ReStore for $20
You are the person to go to for answers and your ways gave me some confidence as a newbie in the furniture flipping .thank you
I have only flipped one thing for profit. Most pieces I flip for my home. But I have been looking for my next piece to flip for resale. Thanks for sharing your process!
YES. I just cleaned it and sold it to store. I made $60 profit. They were suitcases that were 1960 green with mirror and pristine shape.
These turned out great and make wonderful set. The little wooden wheel was a great idea! You can't even tell that's what it is. I have never flipped furniture, I just have painted my own stuff to update it. We moved to a smaller home over a year ago and don't have any room to paint and store furniture, no garage no basement so I have to paint in my livingroom entrance. I wish I had the room because I love what I have done so far and have plans to do several more projects.
