Eve – A Farmhouse Dresser

December 24, 2021

  The price of used furniture has really gone up in my neck of the woods and unfortunately, the price people will pay for restyled furniture has not!  I’ve really had to search to find any dressers under $50.  I like the smaller pieces like this tired old thing I found at my local antique … More Eve – A Farmhouse Dresser

Marvin – A Curb Shopped Desk

November 20, 2021

I saw this dusty old desk sitting on the curb in front of a neighbor’s house and knew I had to have it. This is my favorite kind of furniture flip because I just love saving a gem like this from going to the dump! With a little paint and some elbow grease, it can … More Marvin – A Curb Shopped Desk

Vintage Steamer Trunk

October 29, 2021

If this trunk looks familiar it’s because I painted it once before! I got pretty creative the last time and painted it in ocean colors with a mermaid on the front. you can see that post here: Hannah I put it in my booth just before the pandemic hit and then the antique mall was … More Vintage Steamer Trunk

Willow – A Vintage Secretary Desk

October 18, 2021

Secretary desks are not my favorite pieces to work on. Painting the interior can be tricky and they usually don’t sell as quickly as a regular desk but when someone donates furniture to me, I usually don’t turn it down! Other than a few scratches here and there this desk was in pretty good shape. … More Willow – A Vintage Secretary Desk

Rosie – A vintage cabinet

September 3, 2021

Wow, it’s been a busy summer! I’ve had some home projects I’ve been working on and between that and my love of trail running and hiking I’ve hardly had time for furniture projects. I feel like once the weather warms up here in the Midwest, I have to get outdoors and enjoy every minute of … More Rosie – A vintage cabinet

Max – Two-Toned Chest

June 27, 2021

Max is a chest of drawers that my brother asked me to paint for him,  Max was dusty, scratched, and outdated.  Max is not a high-quality piece of furniture so keeping that in mind I just wanted to do something simple and inexpensive that would give him a fresh, updated look.  Read on to find … More Max – Two-Toned Chest

Grace and Frankie – A pair of plant stands

June 12, 2021

Now that my son’s wedding is over I can tackle some of the painting projects that have been piling up in my garage! I’ve had this piano bench sitting here for years just waiting for the perfect top to come along. I picked up the primitive bench on the right at Country Fair Mall one … More Grace and Frankie – A pair of plant stands

Luna – A Vintage Dresser

May 31, 2021

I found this vintage dresser on Marketplace for $65.  I love the claw feet!  It’s a solid wood dresser and the drawers still work great.  It had some damaged spots and the only original hardware is the round metal knobs on the top row of drawers.  The pulls on the lower drawers were missing and … More Luna – A Vintage Dresser

Emmylou – A sweet little vanity

March 30, 2021

My sister generously donated this vanity to Flipped Her Lid. I love when people think of me when they are getting rid of furniture! 🥰 This piece was probably from the ’90s and has a very slick, glossy, laminate over a pressed wood base. Not the highest quality furniture and only about 30 years vintage … More Emmylou – A sweet little vanity

Honey – Mid-Century turned Rustic Cabinet

March 7, 2021

I’d been looking for a TV cabinet for my living room for a while now.   I wanted something the TV could sit on with all the other electronics stored inside, hidden from view along with the messy cords. I finally found this cabinet on Marketplace for $25.  It was the perfect length and height and … More Honey – Mid-Century turned Rustic Cabinet

contact me at: flippedherlid@gmail.com Hi, I'm Laurie! I've been flipping furniture, re-purposing junk and dabbling in DIY home decor since long before it was cool! I love all things vintage and I'm always searching the flea markets and thrift stores, looking for something I can repurpose or transform! Writing has been a life-long love of mine that inspired me to start blogging a few years ago on my lifestyle blog www.runningdownmydreams.com, where I would occasionally write about DIY or furniture flipping projects. I decided I wanted to have a separate site for those projects and so Flippedherlid.com was born! I hope you enjoy reading about my projects, thanks for stopping by!
