I’m not sure this plan is going to work 🫠 Step one: flip furniture Step two: don’t fall in love with it Step three: I’ve already failed at step two 😅🥲 It was so hard to part with this coffee table after many, many days of sanding… but the lady who bought it loved it, and that definitely made it a little easier 🥹🫶 If you’re new to this series, the goal is to see if I can take a bit of pressure off our mortgage by refinishing old, secondhand furniture and selling it on. This isn’t about making the most profit as quickly as possible. I’m definitely not a “flip fast, paint everything” kind of girl, I’m more of a take way too long picking wood stain girly 😅 But if I can bring these pieces back to life and make a bit of money along the way, I’ll take that as a win 🙌 So here’s the cost breakdown 👇 Cost: $0 Materials: $59 Sold: $520 Profit: $461 What I bought: – Wood butter: $40 – New hardware: $19 What I already had: – Wood stain – Pre-stain – Poly topcoat I’m going to include everything I use in these breakdowns, but a lot of these materials will last across multiple projects, so hopefully the next few flips will cost even less 🤞 I’m realising very quickly that using what you already have makes the biggest difference… but I can’t help it, the hardware really makes the piece ok! 😶🫶 Right now we’re on flip 1 and we’ve made $461. I’ve already started working on the next piece, check out my stories to see how she’s coming along 👀 And if you want the links to anything I used, just comment “DIY”and I’ll send them over ☺️
