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

Curt Reynolds – The laminate-top cabinet

January 1, 2020

Happy New Year everybody!  I thought I’d start the new year out with a flip!😉  This is the last of the four pieces of furniture I got when some family friends, Curt & Lisa, bought a house that had some old furniture left in the basement.  They generously offered the furniture to me, I just … More Curt Reynolds – The laminate-top cabinet

Hannah – The Vintage Sea Chest

December 16, 2019

I scored in this little beauty as a bonus when I went to pick up another project piece.  The owner had set this old steamer trunk out on the curb in the rain and I was like… 😲.  I wanted this more than I wanted the piece I went to pick up!  I love everything … More Hannah – The Vintage Sea Chest

Huggins – The Restyled Curio Stand

December 7, 2019

My friend Barb picked up this adorable little three-tiered curio stand at an estate sale for me.  It’s about 18″ high so it would be perfect on a tabletop or maybe on the floor near a window to be used as a plant stand.  I love working on these smaller pieces because I don’t need … More Huggins – The Restyled Curio Stand

Tailor – The Vintage Sewing Table

November 2, 2019

Tailor is another roadside find my brother brought to me.  Unfortunately, I lost the “before” pics so I found a photo on google that looks pretty close to what I started with. The lid served as a work area when sewing, the opening in the top is where a sewing machine used to be.  My … More Tailor – The Vintage Sewing Table

Paula’s Farmhouse Desk

September 12, 2019

I picked this desk up from a friend of mine that told me if I didn’t want it she was going to haul it out to her burn pile! 😲   I couldn’t bear the thought!  As you can see it did need some work! I have a love-hate obsession for this type of project.  … More Paula’s Farmhouse Desk

Emma – The Farmhouse Cupboard

June 4, 2019

  Emma is a unique, handmade vintage cupboard.  Whoever built this cupboard was ahead of his time by using reclaimed wood on most of this piece.  I thought it was the perfect candidate for a farmhouse look. After some minor repairs, hole patching, sanding, and a thorough cleaning, the interior was ready for two coats … More Emma – The Farmhouse Cupboard

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!
