Turn Your Skills Into A Creative Small Business

As someone who has been flipping furniture for years, here are the things I look for when I’m considering buying an older piece of furniture to makeover!

Dovetailed drawer joints, solidly built legs, and sturdy wooden interior drawer sliders are just a few characteristics that you want to look for in any piece you consider buying.

01

Look for quality details

Thomasville, Dixie, Basset, Henry Link, all of those are classic vintage furniture makers who made quality pieces. 

02

Don’t judge the book by it’s cover!
