A Purple Dandelion Headboard

August 5, 2020

My neighbor asked me to paint this headboard for his granddaughter.  His granddaughter’s bedroom walls are purple and she wanted the headboard to be white with purple dandelions.  There wasn’t a lot of room to squeeze any dandelions on the top as it was, so the first thing I did was fill in the decorative … More A Purple Dandelion Headboard

Eloise – A vintage secretary desk

July 15, 2020

       Eloise was quite a project but I had a lot of fun changing up her look! When we loaded her up in the truck to bring her home we had to remove the wood finial on the top to get the tailgate closed.  After I got her home I decided I like … More Eloise – A vintage secretary desk

Sherry – A Vintage Vanity

June 23, 2020

This maple vanity was one of five pieces of furniture I scored when a realtor friend of mine was clearing out a house and offered them to me.  The label on the back shows it was made by Showers Brothers Furniture Co., Bloomington, Indiana.  It was sold and shipped to Connie and Don Ray of … More Sherry – A Vintage Vanity

Penny – The Vintage Dresser

May 24, 2020

I named this one Penny because I found a lucky penny in one of the drawers!  Penny is not an antique but she is vintage, probably circa 1960.  A friend salvaged this dresser for me when someone they knew was getting rid of it.  Normally, I don’t like to take on furniture that has already … More Penny – The Vintage Dresser

Jessie – The Antique Cedar Chest

April 26, 2020

  “You are and you will always be the most beautiful season of my life“ This cedar chest belonged to my Great Aunt Jessie and was handed down to me many years ago upon her passing.  It still has the key that fits in the lock and the original wooden wheels.  I decided a while … More Jessie – The Antique Cedar Chest

Anna – The Chunky Side Table

April 12, 2020

I got this chunky little side table on Marketplace for $10.   I liked how the table was the same on all four sides so there was no backside.  I loved the design on top and was hopeful I could bring it back to life!  As you can see, it had a lot of scratches, burns, … More Anna – The Chunky Side Table

Sammie – The Vintage Cedar Chest

March 29, 2020

Sad Sammie was a freebie from a family member and at first glance, this poor old hope chest looked pretty hopeless!  I love the carved detailed border around the lid but I’m not so fond of the “evil eye” applique on the front. There was a huge gash on the right corner of the lid.  … More Sammie – The Vintage Cedar Chest

Miss “B” – The Little drop leaf table

March 4, 2020

My friend Barb always finds the greatest “smalls” for me.  She picked up this little table at a sale somewhere for $12!  That orangish stain though… 🤢  Sometimes when I see a piece of furniture I know right away what I want to do with it and other times, like with this one, I have … More Miss “B” – The Little drop leaf table

Trash to Treasure Items

February 25, 2020

My brother Tim, makes these awesome lamps from repurposed pipes and junk he salvages! He just started selling them and I was dying to take pictures and get them on the website! Some of the parts are new, like the bulbs and some of the shades but for the most part, they are made from … More Trash to Treasure Items

Vintage Window Signs

February 18, 2020

I picked up these old windows at Country Fair Mall for $9 each.  I love, love, love old windows 🥰.  I don’t know what it is about them but I have a hard time resisting the urge to buy every one I see!  I’ve collected a few over the years that I use in my home … More Vintage Window Signs

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!
