Also This is a HUGE Lesson I've learned ...When Someone Comes to you with a commission piece from Their Home etc and It's Been painted before and not manufacturer finish ...it's VERY Important to Have a Buffer when quoting a Price point of at least 100 bucks ...as You Have no idea Whether the Painted finish that's on there already Is Going to Hold up and Will you Have to Strip it Off before Painting ...I've learned this one the hard way and I literally spent WEEKS getting Off prepainted piece as I found out after my quote it was latex paint that was going to Make ANY new paint Ontop of that to fail ...this 100 buffer Would Have at least compensated my Extra time that I needed to Put into the piece so my work would not fail ..I Really Hope this helps someone..stay blessed and again Lauren amazing video🥰👍

Im finding that it makes a huge difference where you are geographically. No matter how much work you put into a piece, not matter how much repair and skill goes into it, people where I am have a ceiling of about $100. Even beautiful antiques take forever to sell and are reduced several times before they sell, sometimes a year a more. I have invested alot of money into supplies and paint but feel myself stifled because I know finding my audience will be very difficult, if it happens at all.

You touched on knowing your market and who is looking at your work however, I do believe that it's possible to go after a different audience. You don't have to settle for the area you're in if you are living in a bigger metropolitan area, it's always possible to advertise your goods to a different group of people who love having one of a kind pieces and will pay top dollar.

What are the best things to sell? What are people looking for? 1 Nightstand - 2 nightstands - dresser - armoir - cedar chest - chairs - jewelry box - etc. I see so much I would love to re-do but don't know if anyone would even look at this type of item. Also - what about complete sets - bedroom sets - dining room table and chairs ???? I am doing my kitchen in your black and linen and can't wait to get started. Trying to figure out if I can put on slow closing hinges. And I have referred that picture to many people.

Am wondering what the IRS tax implications were for the extra income that allowed u to pay off your student loans? Did u have to take state & federal out or pay quarterly as if it were a business? Did u have to collect/charge sales tax? Now that 3rd party sites have to report over $600 of sales, how will this affect you? What do u have to do differently this year because of it? So many You Tubers talk about their cash only side hustles....which is great....but my sister-in-law is concerned that this year she will have to pay taxes on her flipping income because so many ppl prefer to pay her w Venmo or other phone apps.

Hey, we would recommend her talk to a tax professional. We aren’t too fond of this either. We save 30% of our income for taxes. Every time we get paid, 30% into a tax savings account. This is our first year paying taxes and so will be learning a lot.

Did you always make sure to state that the item is "upcycled" ? Did you find that stating that the item was "upcycled" changed the traction of the listing ? Or do you just state what the item is, along with a price, and leave out the "upcylced" part in the listing description? Thanks a mill !

Do you think there’s such a thing as a location not really having a market at all for this type of work? From research I’ve done of my area here in southern VA it seems to be a terrible market. Prices at thrift stores are sky high and Facebook market place shows bad statistics for refurbished furniture. Nobody wants to spend more than $50 here and even try to sell old pieces of furniture for more than $100. Doesn’t make sense to me.
