Sunshine – A Coastal hutch

November 27, 2020

This coastal cutie caught my attention on Marketplace and I just had to have it!  It was stained so bad from cigarette smoke it looked like it was yellow.  Even scrubbing with vinegar and baking soda didn’t remove it!  It reeked of smoke as well. What do you think of Sunshine now???  After scrubbing each … More Sunshine – A Coastal hutch

Khal Drogo – The Medieval Chest

October 28, 2020

I was purchasing another piece of furniture from a seller on Marketplace when I spied this chest of drawers among several other items they had for sale.  I thought it looked like something you’d see in a castle on the HBO series Game of Thrones.  Kahl Drogo, played by Jason Mamoa, is a warlord in … More Khal Drogo – The Medieval Chest

Ariel – The Vintage Side Table

October 11, 2020

                                             Ariel was one of two tables I bought at a yard sale earlier this year.  I thought $10 was a bargain for a vintage, solid wood table with drawers.  Other than some minor … More Ariel – The Vintage Side Table

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

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

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

Sophie – The Antique Leather Seat Chair

February 11, 2020

My good friend Barb, found this antique chair at a sale for $5!  I love the leather seat!  One of the rungs was broken on one side but otherwise, this chair was in pretty good condition.  I decided to just glue the rung back in place rather than trying to repair it with a screw … More Sophie – The Antique Leather Seat Chair

Mary Julia – the Antique Desk

January 19, 2020

My friends, Tom and Laurie, were selling this old desk and knowing how much I love vintage furniture, they asked if I would be interested.  The desk once belonged to Tom’s mother and he believes it is about 100 years old.  He needed to get rid of it but I think it had a lot … More Mary Julia – the Antique Desk

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!
