Good morning... regarding the chair with a tear in it, they have iron on patches that are designed to be used for repairing clothing... they sell them at craft stores, Jo-Ann's, etc. If you take the patch and push it through the tear then flatten it out behind the torn fabric with the adhesive facing forward towards the torn fabric. Then arrange the fabric to close the tears as much as possible and then iron over it. The patch will adhere to the back of the fabric permanently and will seal the tear so that it won't tear any further. You probably will not be able to make it invisible but you could make it pretty close!
This combined with darning the opening could be a great and practically invisible repair!
And if she takes the skirt off , use the fabric to put over the patch , And still use a beautiful big pillow!

😮 🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😊 ty 😀
@@2468bone😱😱😱😱
Since you always take the skirts off of the velvet chairs - do it very carefully on both chairs and you might have enough fabric to redo the back of the damaged chair.
Shoutout to all the Neimans of the furniture world with helping record/lift/move all the pieces.
Neiman focusing on guy in background while Lauren is talking on the couch lol.
LOL!
I came to the comments after I saw that 😂.
I enjoy watching you find good furniture! BTW...that's real eucalyptus and the smell is not potpourri, it's what eucalyptus smells like.
I was thinking the same thing! They sell fresh bunches of eucalyptus at Trader Joes's. I hang it upside down in my shower and it makes taking a shower a spa-like experience. 🤗
Throw a pillow and a throw on the chair. I wish you would have picked up the large lamps at the beginning of the video. I did a pair in hammered bronze and they turned out stunning. Easy to do, new shades, and I made a total of $115.00 profit. Nice lamps are incredibly expensive and easy to flip. I have watched u since day one and you just are on point about everything you teach. I have been a flipper long before it was popular. I'm 69 now and was a young Navy wife. Flipping was a necessity and I was good at it. I always loved when the Officer's wives would come over and compliment my home. It was so different from what everyone else had. It was always enough to fuel my creativity with 3 small kids at home. I taught Workforce development for many years and flipping was my sanity. Keep up the good work!
Yeah, don't paint a teak Danish modern coffee table. look it up first. You did great. They're selling on the high end for over $1000. It's real. The veneer is walnut. The top is teak.
Lauren, do the cane set in a light wood or cream wash. I think it will sell❤Coastal look is so on trend.
agree!
Exactly what I was thinking 🤔 cause I would be all over that!
Yes, absolutely! I can see it on a sun porch or dining room in the tropical theme, ferns and done in the lighter colors as you say with a ceiling fan above it........I picture it in a Florida room/coastal west coast or southern climate.........Or in a sunroom in the midwest or east..........it would work anywhere. If I were them, I'd keep it for myself. LOL Great choice and exactly spot on!!!
Came to say this!
Also, it is actually a game table and chairs, so it could be sold to go in a basement or big game rm.
It
Oh my wordI almost never comment on videos, but I HAD to on this one!! 😂
First of all great haul!! About 10/11 years ago I had a dream about flipping furniture, but was too intimidated by it. The past 3 months watching you videos makes me want to do it, but I’m still scared. Lol. Your amazing.
I LOVE that table set!! I’m so happy you bought it, and I cannot wait to see what you do with it!! I was praying you’d buy it. Lol.
Nieman’s black shorts were killing me! I love it. The short shorts, shorter than Lauren’s. You go Nieman!
Lastly Nieman zooming in on the guy had me laughing so hard.
You guys are amazing. I adore watching your videos and really love seeing how you two work together. It’s something special. ❤
Same 😂. What was that dude doing? He looks confused
I felt like that guy was just like my Dad when he'd go shopping with my Mom. He would hang out in the magazine aisle and read because everything else bored him silly, lol.
Lol my husband does the same if he goes shopping with me. He takes a seat somewhere while I do my thing. 😂
I would restore the table and chairs. I had a set like that when I first got married in the mid 1980s. It's fun to roll to the fridge if you forget something! Really love all that you guys do, and I am so happy for and proud of your accomplishments. Best regards.
Use the skirt removed from one or both brown chairs to repair the tear or make a matching pillow?
Thomasville furniture was based in Thomasville North Carolina and they have been out of business for several years I know this because we live in North Carolina and my daughter's all worked there
Omg that walnut mcm coffee table! You scored yourself an amazing find!
Right?!? I was amazed when she said only $10! Score!❤
There was just a glimpse, but it kinda looked like a Lane Acclaim!
Napkin holder could also hold hand towels for the bathroom.
I love the coffee table you got for $10 oh my gosh it’s beautiful, great find and I love your tip on not carrying it yourself.
I saw my wine rack
It's funny because when she was originally carrying it out, to the register, I guess, I was thinking, I wouldn't be carrying that, my husband would. Lol.
The table and cane chairs would make a great poker/game table for m the air b&b. I agree with the prior poster who suggested patching the worn velvet with the skirt fabric. If you use a vertical patch, you should be able to hide most of the seams within the folds from the tufting. Great haul.
If you're ripping the skirts off of the tan chairs and have basic upholstery skills, there may be enough fabric to repair the ripped chair.
The dinning table you liked with the ends sliding out is called a farmers table.
Great haul! I don’t think I’ve ever seen how you evaluate items for unwanted visitors (bed bugs,etc ). Can you do a video on that sometime?
Yes, PLEASE!!!! My first attempt at flipping was a coffee table & 2 end tables. Clean, well-made, only a few little nicks & scratches. But after living here over 20 years without a single roach, over the course of 5 days we found THREE! Where were they hiding?!?!?1 I threw all 3 pieces into the trailer and to the dump they went that weekend. NO ONE addresses the issues of bugs. Please be the first.
Yeah they say certain items to never purchase from a thrift store cause of bed bugs ect
Yes! That would be a great topic!
Looking forward to the vids showing these projects worked up! Nice finds!
Makes me wish I was young and strong again. I used to refinish, but now at 77 it is fun to watch you:)
Great collection of pieces! I love the fact that you ask about pricing in thrift stores! Lots of people think it’s wrong, but I’m a believer of if you don’t ask you don’t get! Well done! 😊
You and Neiman had an excellent day of thrifting. GREAT JOB!!! 💜💙
That swivel base is def on upside down!!
When you rip the skirt off the torn chair, you can stitch a piece onto that spot and sell it for $20. It would still be good for a kids room or college student. You can always give it away if it doesn't sell. What a haul! 💕💕
I thought the same thing. You could cut a triangle that fits between the buttons where the folds are anyway, and you may not be able to tell.
What a haul. I probably wouldn’t paint the table with the sliding leaves. It just seems like the paint could really get worn pretty fast in the areas the wood slides against each other. I agree with someone who suggested a light paint wash for a coastal vibe. I’d be in on that. The chairs are BEAUTIFUL! Coffee table is fantastic, and I loved the tall dresser too. You two are so cute to watch together. Watching you two work so harmoniously putting furniture in and out of the truck was something really cute to watch. It is obvious you two are really good friends and co-workers along with being boyfriend and girlfriend.
How fun to have a partner that’s into your dream too ❣️
Nieman!! Close up on the tiger table & the guy in the red shirt!! 😂😂
I love everything you got!!! I just made a drop off to my local Salvation Army and scored 5 pairs of shorts and 2 blouses for 99 cents! So it pays to look at the thrift stores! Love your videos
Awesome finds. With the cane dining set I personally would try to keep it natural and not paint if you can.
I’d whitewash the cane set. Beautiful!
Nieman is cracking me up, filming the guy in the background. LOL. Love watching you two.!!!
amazing! Love the dining room set with cane - i can see it either bleached blonder in tone for a more natural beach vibe or a contrast with black. have fun!
Yes! And maybe seat cushions that are navy blue solid or Navy blue with white stripes?
Awesome finds! I’m excited to see what you do with the table and cain chairs! 🥰
The cane set is so 70’s, I think it would be pretty in a creamy color.
Loved the 5 thrifting tips! Great haul!
I would love that doll house. I have done a small one...its so fun. Lol that coffee mug is perfect for my son. Lmao.
I can see that table set painted black and redoing the cushions in an updated fabric, maybe a zebra black and white style!
That mcm table looks legit!!!!!
actually, not ALL the mcm chars had skirts on them, the tweed looking very linear chair is probably without a skirt, U had a herculon sofa that was my grandmother, had very straight lines and no skirt.. I am 62 so I would say the chair is probably late 50's or early 60's. I also got tickled with Neimans camerawork, he got a little distracted by the guy in the red shirt sitting in the chair behind Lauren
True story: Have had a blast Creating my bedroom with second hand furniture but I picked up Anything I could like I owned a warehouse. So, I gave it all away except a few projects. The couple who came to me needed everything for their new home. Three trailers of furniture later I’m a lot lighter, no hoarding going here. I think 🤔 However, the young couple watch Furniture Flipping Teacher and plan on creating some cool stuff. Congratulations, we are saying hello from Florida. Great job.
Florida has some fine antique furniture stores. Of course those stores can't compete with prices in thrift stores.
Florida stores that sell antiques can compare prices with new store's prices because the new furniture has lower quality and won't last like real wood with dovetail joinery.
The stuff in the red vase is eucalyptus which smells really good. Can be reactivated with fine mist
Love all your tips and how much awesome finds you score
I have seen so much good furniture at thrift stores, cheap, but nowhere to put them. Except small tables and lamps. I bought my niece 2 quality rockers for her classroom(special ed. teacher) You have some really good thrift stores in your area. Great tips.😊
Ooh, I really hope we get to see videos of at least come of these! Especially that table and chairs - it may be a beast but I bet it’ll look so amazing
I’d keep the cane set natural and I’d definitely keep the brass detailing on the table base. That’ brass is one of my favorite parts….not to mention that’s where everyone puts their feet so it protects the wood.
Lauren, you are so lucky, In Melbourne Australia, our thrift stores done have these types of furniture, normally they don’t have any .
God I wish I could get the stuff you get for your prices ,
Love the cane set and all of it really. The cane is so in and I would keep it, were it me! Reminds me of Florida and SO Cal where we have lived in the past..........and it is on spot. Light colored wood stain perhaps. I would not use it in the Air B &B as I think with all the folks that would be staying there it could potentially get destroyed beyond repair. Some places we have stayed had lovely things however everyone doesn't respect our things as we do. Cane is not cheat to replace and redo. It's a beautiful piece.
A great video and loved seeing my old stomping grounds in days gone by. Totally changed now! I can't wait to see what you do with all the items. Exciting and busy day you had. Did you also get the mirror that I thought went with that Thomasville dresser? Perhaps I didn't catch that correctly.
Have a great weekend!
Blessings
Always makes for an excellent thrifting video when you find some great stuff at awesome prices! So many fabulous pieces you found! I’m jelly 😊❤ can’t wait to see what you do with everything! 👍🏻
That multi colored Lamp goes with the cane chairs ...love it! Get that doll house!!
Wow! Y’all hit the jackpot! Can’t wait to see what you do to transform them. 👍🏻
The small area on the upholstered caned chair where the seam has separated can probably be hot glued back together if you are careful. Great bargains in your town. I would not paint that table. I would try to restore it.
The pine table with the ends that slide underneath - those are so cool, and my grandmother called them a "'butterfly table"". I used to have one and loved it.
You could always take a class on reupholstering furniture.
I love all your finds. I like watching you shopping together. ❤❤❤can’t wait to see the flips
Thank you for sharing your trip with us I learned a lot about thrift store.
Sooo funny neiman, camera work class 😂
Great finds! I think navy blue would be pretty on the table and chairs. But I know it will be beautiful no matter what you decide! I love watching your projects!
I was hoping you guys would keep the table and chairs set because wicker in great condition and they look more comfortable than regular hard wood chairs
I love going to thrift stores near chains like Target because they get cool housewares and such donated from the chains.
The tweed chair caught my attention. My grandmother had one almost identical (then my Mom had it for a while, then an Aunt... I believe a 65yr old cousin has it now). The low armrests was the key draw for us all with that chair. (Been keeping my eyes open for one when at the thrift stores, but nothing yet here in Central MN.) When knitting or crocheting, newer chairs with higher armrest tend to become an obstacle and create an uncomfortable experience; while the lower armrests allow for a much more enjoyable time allowing more to be accomplished.
Thank you both for ALL your videos and helpful knowledge.
That was an amazing haul! Great video. Can’t wait to see what you do with them.
Love the new word...takeoffable. I am so going to use that. I just love you two, such great personalities ❤️
The cane chairs I would paint frame and table black and leave the cane natural. Possibly recover the cushions.
Great finds.
The canes chairs with table we sold in the 70’s as game tables. Good find!
I just love watching you, I also go to GW for my furniture flipping.
So fun going thrifting with you guys.(Lauren you are looking great!)
Great haul! So many good deals...and the dining set, 😍
Great for your own table.
so great that you can recycle all of that stuff
Bet you're glad you Cleaned out the garage 😂
The rip(s) in the velvet chair can be fixed by using fabric glue and appliqués.
My Dad is a carpenter and kitchen and bathroom fitter. He made my sister and I a dolls house, a windy house and a farm set over different yrs for Xmas presents. He put carpet, wallpaper and lighting in our dolls house. We sold it at a car boot sale when we grew out of those. He's a talented clever guy. He designed them all himself.
Bonus tip, have a wonderfully sweet, helpful, fun and patient helper. ❤❤❤ Your husband is all that and cute too!
I loved your buys, especially the caned chairs. My parents owned a furniture store and I know all the brands. You scored with the Thomasville dresser. I loved the tween MCM chair too.
Stumbled on your channel looking for ideas to refurnish my flooded house. Thanks for the ideas and inspiration.
I love the cane chair and table set you got. It's going to look great no matter what you do to it.
Hey Neiman, Great idea about the warehouse storage.
Just the video I needed. I'm currently working on my second piece of furniture and the decision paralysis that happened when choosing my next piece was real. Probably went to 10 different thrift stores and ended up with a small night stand.
good call on dining table!!!
I’m curious if you have tried to flip couches as well since they can be just as easy as chairs as far as cleaning up and selling quickly?? Also watching your videos has given me the motivation to work harder so I could work for myself flipping furniture. Thank you so much for being an inspiration 🤍
Farrow and ball colour Arsenic would look great for the cane chairs and table, and polish the brass to mirror finish. Awesome find!
That coffee table looks like it's part of the Lane Acclaim line! If it's genuine, it could be worth quite a bit!
As usual great job, beautiful restoration, love it
Wow, cant wait to see all the flipping videos. The broken cane on the chair is easy to replace. I have taken a lesson herein on Johns Furniture Repair ...😁 well done and look forward to seeing the Air B&B fitted out too
The creeper guy was weird! Glad you made a huge haul!
What a bunch of scores on this great thrifting day!!! The table with the cane chairs. Possible paint the table black and the cane a cream color. It will sell for sure and will match the cushions. The velvet chairs...possibly use the skirt from the bottom and use a spray adhesive and make a patch but reinforce it by sewing it. Do a couple diamond patches on each piece and then it on both pieces so it looks like they were made this way. I like Nieman's thoughts... y'all need a warehouse. People are at all different ages and want all different styles...get those great deals because I would have bought that first piece you looked at on this video and i liked the 2 plant stands you passed on. Those plant stands would have looked great painted white with gold accents and distressed back in a farmhouse style. People say farmhouse style is going out but true farmhouse style has been around for hundreds of years with the crackle look and a lot of people still want this type of furniture in their homes. It's different from the hobby lobby cheap looking farmhouse style they portray as farmhouse.
Really enjoyed thrifting with you- so inspiring! So creative! Just a side note from a former florist... The eucalyptus is real- not fake. It is preserved(not dried or it would be crispy) and dyed. It is naturally scented, not potpourri. Not that it matters on a furniture flipping channel😊.
I wanted to say the SAME thing about the preserved eucalyptus! I love that stuff...and it's natural scent.
Lots of great deals. Can't wait till you finish the B&B and start making $$$$ on it. Looking forward to all the flips. So glad you have gone back to doing them.
180th and Q is my favorite store for thrifting. I love the ideas you have. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Interesting mix of bargains! I would love to see you do some magic to the cane chairs....can't wait to see how they turn out, as well as the dressers. The midcentury coffee table is beautiful!
I absolutely LOVE that table you got for your own place! My Mom has one that was her mother's, and her grandmother's. Guess who is next in line for it???
On velvet furniture that is damaged, what about doing a patch of a different color and making arm covers of the same color so it matches. I love watching your videos and love the way you flip furniture. You do a beautiful job. Keep up the good work. God bless.
Self storing leaves are the BEST!
I love that dining set, I'd buy it just cleaned up!
You're doing a great job Lauren see what you're saying about flipping but even if you're buying furniture for yourself sometimes you don't want to pay way over if it's not worth it either yeah I just bought like a brand new Lazy Boy recliner today it's leather for $74 and I felt like I got a really good deal keep up the good work I love watching you
Great show. Thank you
Excellent video as always. Keep it up!
Awesome video!!! Thank you!!
