Furniture Flipping FAIL: Second Attempt at a DIY Dresser Makeover
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video, we take a look at a furniture flipping project that didn't go as planned. I attempted to give an old dresser a DIY makeover, but things didn't turn out as I had hoped. But, isn't that the beauty of it all? Not all ideas are great ideas and it's okay to fail. Failure is a natural part of the learning process, and it's an opportunity to learn from our mistakes and come up with a new plan.
Despite the initial setback, I decided to give it another try and was determined to make it work. I put in extra effort and time to come up with a new plan, along with your help on Instagram, and was finally able to turn the dresser into something beautiful. This video is a reminder that it's okay to try, even if you don't know the outcome. It's okay to make mistakes and to fail. Because it is through those failures that we learn and grow. So, join us as we take you through our furniture flipping journey and the lessons we learned along the way!

Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included kzread.infoUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.
This is actually the one flip I wasn't a fan of. So glad you gave it another life. Beautiful!
Love it. Me personally, I think it needs draw pulls. But it’s is beautiful. ❤ love how you give details as to how you made the base. I think you did an awesome job on it.
This dresser is the only thing I've seen you flip that I totally did not like. Everything else you've done has been beautiful.!!
I really liked the green color. I was thinking maybe you should paint it green all over, but I do like the black a lot. The only thing I kept seeing was some bling, jewelry.....like gold or brass hardware I think would look great and help it sell. That said, I really like the legs. Good job! I enjoy watching your videos. 😊

So good!! I would have loved to see hardware on the top 3 drawers to tie in the bottom base color. But even without, it's beautiful & love the wallpaper touch.

Love it now! The base makes so much difference. I would've stained it a warmer tone, personally. The wallpaper drawers are super cute.
I like the black and the new base. My personal preference would be to stain or color wash the base because it looks to raw to me.

I thought about it but personally liked it raw! We’ll see!
That rounded edge 80s style of furniture always remind me of a hotel dresser, without draw pulls etc. It also reminds me of baby nursery furniture, all it needs is the changing table attachment for the top.
Gold pulls would look great against the dark paint .. that would tie light base in . Great job on the base. I love the fact you love to teach and learn. Plus you guy's share it with us. Thank you!

I agree, it definitely needs drawer pulls, and gold would look amazing!
Even though it probably already has...If it doesn’t sell right away...just the right BRUSHED GOLD sleek lined hardware would take this dresser over the moon..BUT it really looks fantastic. I liked the green but this black is SPOT ON...!!!!! Good job and you are such an inspiration I love how you keep it real.
Lauren, you make me feel like I can do ALL kinds of things! Thank you for sharing these videos, this looks gorgeous!
I liked the green but thought the wood was too light. If it was stained a chestnut color I think it would have worked well. I like the black with the new base but also think the base could use a color stain to lessen the contrast but I’m sure it will sell now!

It takes so much math to be able to refinish/refurbish furniture so that it can show in the end as you do. I see you and everything that you do to make a piece look the ways it does. It involves not only math, but the chemistry knowledge of different finishes, etc and how to meld all of that together. Kudos to your extensive experience, knowledge, and patience in this field!!! Girl power!
You did a great job in the transformation, also great news about you and Nieman back together !
I prefer the black version. The natural ,slanted base adds a new dimension to the piece. It’s beautiful ❤❤
I love the new way you did it up and wouldn't change a thing. It looks so perfect. Drawer pulls would have been bulky and in the way of the sleek look on this one. I love the accent drawer paper. It really does make it feel extra luxurious.
Much better as a solid color. I wasn’t really excited by the original flip so I’m glad you revisited it.
I liked both, but I think you did the right thing by redoing it. can't wait to get back at it (hand surgery). BTW, your workout routine is working! You, both, look great!!
For the inside of the drawers you can also put a nourishing product. Like Odie's oil, etc. And smells wonderful

I appreciate how you weren't afraid to show us one that wasn't selling, and what you did to rectify that.
Sue Wolfe- Lauren, you gave this dresser a new lease on life! Personally, I think that the solid black is a win over the green. Great choice and thanks for showing us that not everything goes the way we plan! 👍❤️
I just wanted to say that since you made some changes (see prev toobs everyone), your videos have increased in content twofold. Well done, so much more interesting to watch you and N man🥰working/collaborating, a joy, thank you.
You are the best. Love your educational shopping trips and furniture flips. Love how you admit maybe it wasn't the best color choice, and show us your redo. You take chances and experiment which is fun. It's also so great to see your honesty when maybe the experiment was a flop. You guys are so cool : ).

Looks better with the addition of the legs. Good job on the paint too. Because of the design, it ages itself, but it looks great.I’ve seen some comments to add pulls, but I’d take a leaf from Kacha’s book & add a bit of gold to each of the drawers to break the color up a bit.
Love this episode! I'll be saving it to remind me how to make the base. In awe!!

I agree. This black, at least on the video, looks very heavy and one note. The legs do help it a lot though.
The legs you worked so precisely on make the piece look unfinished still in my opinion. Love your work ,you can't work for free,but I think new price is high for our market here. Hope it moves for you just as you wish,am envious of your comfort with power tools !
I was so glad you decided to redo this one. I usually love your flips but this one not so much. Looks 100% better now
I like the black redo over the green dipped look, Lauren. I also like the base with angled legs... very nice upgrade. However, for my personal taste, I would have preferred a wood stain and sealer rather than the raw pine wood. I always enjoy watching your vlogs and the way you remain true to your original profession by continuing to teach in your workshop! Good luck with this redo flip!

Awesome job! The base was exactly what this needed.
Glad you put the dresser on legs and the style compliments it. Since you said the base is soft pine, I wonder why you didn't add a varnish or clear coat for protection from vacuum cleaners. Overall, the new look is great. Your skills are getting better and better. Thanks for sharing.
That looks so much better! I really love the lined drawers you added.
I think hardware would be a HUGE help.
Glad you tried something else. Being from Wisconsin, all I could see in the first flip was Green Bay Packers 😂😂😂
Loved this video. Your teaching us how to do each step was so helpful! You are the best teacher! I learned a lot.

I like it. If it still doesn't sell I would love to see you do something with the rounded edges on the top. I guess cause I lived thru that furniture's era, it's hard to look past the rounded top profile.
I actually like the old version more. But this is probably better for the general public.
Looks much better I never cared much for the dipped look
Glad to see a redo. I was wondering how i would redo anything i mess up so this helps. I think that dresser is awesome amd could even go more masculine for the inside for a male. ❤
