From thrift store eyesore to bar cabinet of dreams 🍷✨ I gave myself a $50 Goodwill challenge and found this bright blue dry sink for $27 — and immediately saw potential. My original plan was to keep the drawers wood and paint the rest… but once I stripped one drawer and saw that gorgeous wood grain, I knew I couldn’t stop there. 🪵 So began the long, messy process — layers of paint stripper, acetone cleanup, sanding every nook and cranny — until that natural beauty came back to life. Once it was stripped, I gave it new brass hardware, added wine glass holders, and cut out the door panel to inlay plexiglass for a sleek display. Finished it all with a rich dark walnut stain by Minwax, and now it looks completely transformed. Originally $27 → now listed for $400. A total glow-up and proof that sometimes the best flips are the ones that take a little extra elbow grease. 💪 👉 What would you have done — stripped it all or kept it painted? furnitureflip furnituremakeover diy upcycling flipforprofit thriftfind LTKvlog LTKHome LTKStyleTip
