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

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

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

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

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!
