It’s Here! The Flipping Furniture for Profit Podcast is LIVE Today’s a big day.

That dream became real this morning—because the Flipping Furniture for Profit Podcast is officially live! This podcast isn’t about perfection.

I know what it feels like to wonder if you’re capable… if you can really make this work… if you’ll just end up wasting time and money. Friend, I’ve been there. And I want you to know—you absolutely can do this. That’s why … Read more

Furniture Flipping Bad Advice Alert #3: Repaint!

Don’t be a Confidence Killer Recently I came across a post by a flipper asking advice about her finished project. Jade wasn’t sure about her design. We often go through that, second guessing ourselves. It’s a real thing, but usually unfounded. We want to turn out a beautiful piece and sometimes we are too hard on ourselves. If we look at it through the eyes of our customers, we would see it differently. Let’s talk about Jade’s post on FB. This is Jade >>> This piece is an example of a very fine redesign that needed NOTHING else to make it desirable to a future client. Yet, comentors jumped on it and recommended some very bad advice… I say, be careful who you listen to. Here is the original listing. I tried to comment, but once again, the comments were turned off. URGH! I ended up messaging Jade to let … Read more

Stop Watching, Start Flipping: Why the Best Way to Learn Is by Doing

We’ve all done it… Hours (okay, weeks) of watching YouTube videos, scrolling Pinterest boards, and bingeing makeover reels on Instagram. It’s exciting. It’s inspiring. And it feels like progress. But let me ask you something honestly: How many pieces have you actually flipped? And how much closer are you to making money from your skills? If the answer is “none yet” or “not really sure,” don’t worry—you’re not alone. Most new flippers fall into what I call “learning limbo.” Learning Limbo: When Research Turns into Procrastination Watching tutorials is great. In fact, I teach and share them myself. But there comes a point where watching becomes a way to avoid the doing. You start believing: “I’m not ready yet.” “I need to learn just one more thing first.” “What if I mess it up?” Here’s the truth no one talks about: You’ll never feel 100% ready. You will mess up. … Read more

Bad Advice Alert #2: The Oil-based Over Water-based Debate

The Oil Over Water Debate AND…once again I came across some BAD advice given to a new flipper on FB that could derail her – all because the commenter couldn’t admit she needed to reconsider her facts. (I grayed out the names of those speaking or who was being tagged other than my own comment) Honestly, it’s not that hard. Just say, “Oh, OK, that’s news to me. Thanks.”  But no, that’s not possible, ESPECIALLY when the admin closes out comments before I could “bring the receipts.” That’s just a nice way of saying I couldn’t tell her she was wrong. So, here’s a break down about it all – oil-based over water-based products and water-based over oil-based products, focusing on primer. Enjoy. And btw, “I’m a furniture artist” doesn’t cut it. We all need to keep learning and can NEVER say we’ve arrived. We’re just regular people trying to … Read more

Cat Lady, Gardener, Furniture Flipper

The Cat Lady, The Gardener & The Furniture Artist A Tribute to Women Who Still Have So Much to Give It’s 5:30 AM A sparkle ball is rolling across the bed like it’s game time in the World Cup. My seven year old fur ball, Mia, is the star forward. Most would find this irritating—but when you’ve bonded with a creature so small and full of trust, these moments become sacred. Her tiny paws curl around my fingers, her chin rests on my wrist, and her purrs echo what we both know deep down: I am her safe place. There’s beauty in that kind of connection. A quiet, fulfilling kind of purpose. Mia, my early morning purr machine and unexpected reminder that being someone’s safe place is a gift. Then comes the garden. Walking in flip flops through dew-kissed grass toward rows of zucchini, beans, and blossoming tomatoes… this is … Read more

Bad Advice Alert #1: What New Flippers Shouldn’t Believe on Facebook

Bad Advice Alert: What New Flippers Shouldn’t Believe on Facebook When you’re new to furniture flipping, it’s easy to get sucked into the advice whirlpool—especially in Facebook groups where everyone seems to have an opinion. Some of it is gold… but a lot of it? Not so much. If you’ve ever been told to skip prep, the brand you are using is why “this or that” is happening, or that “anyone can do it” with zero experience, you’ve probably run into a few of the common myths that make flipping harder—not easier. In this post, I’m breaking down one popular (but very wrong) tip floating around online, so you can avoid frustration and flip with confidence right from the start.   PEELING PAINT I recently read a post in a Facebook group from someone that was very distraught because she bought a buffet from a local flipper for $400 and … Read more
