Tips for Making Money Painting Furniture

Lost & Found Decor

If you are thinking of making money painting furniture I have a few tips for your furniture painting business! 👇 

If you’re just starting out, there is no need to buy everything offered by your local furniture paint retailer–and I am a retailer myself!

Invest in Tools, Not Toys

I will gladly spend the money for the paint, but I do not always buy the accessory paint brushes, wax brushes, stencils, buffing pads, pearl paint, tiny little mixers, plastic lid covers with spouts, etc.

My goal is to price my finished pieces 2-3 times what they cost me!

Set your Maximum Buying Prices

Take some time to get to know your own local market before you begin: How deep is the supply of good quality old furniture for you to buy? And more importantly, how much are people around you willing to pay for painted pieces?
