00:00 "One man's trash is another man's treasure" is an age-old saying, but it's especially
00:05 true on Furniture Flip TikTok.
00:12 There are a ton of TikTokers hopping on the Furniture Flip train, but here are some of
00:16 the most impressive DIYers.
00:18 You won't believe how these TikTokers turned furniture that could have easily been garbage
00:23 into a lucky customer's greatest new piece.
00:26 The first TikToker we have is Erin Schuford, and her work is only slightly short of magic
00:31 itself.
00:32 One of Erin's most viral videos involves this terribly beaten up dresser, and the paint
00:37 peel is so satisfying.
00:39 "And let me tell you how satisfying this was to do.
00:43 The stripper is more on the green side and not only did it remove the paint, look, it's
00:46 like falling off, but it took the finish off underneath too.
00:49 I don't buy painted pieces often because when you strip them down it is a lot of work,
00:53 you never know what you're going to find underneath, but I was happy to find a really
00:56 pretty walnut veneer underneath all this paint."
00:58 Schuford also makes sure to educate her followers on how to do flips if they're feeling inspired,
01:03 without spending the cash on all the fancy tools.
01:06 "If you've ever wanted to makeover a piece of furniture but don't know where to start,
01:10 this video is for you.
01:11 We'll be making over this nightstand set I found on Facebook Marketplace with just
01:14 the absolute basics, no tools, no fancy supplies, nothing.
01:17 The first thing you want to do is take off all the hardware and give everything a deep
01:20 clean with a degreasing cleaner inside and out.
01:22 Highly recommend an orbital sander, but if you don't have one, you can just take a
01:25 sanding pad and wrap it around a sanding block.
01:27 Always make sure to wear a mask whenever you're sanding so you don't breathe in all those
01:30 dust particles."
01:31 Another TikToker, Adriana Camacho, went viral for flipping furniture so she can save up
01:36 to buy a new car.
01:37 Camacho wanted to challenge herself while saving as much money as possible, so the first
01:43 rule she gave herself was starting with only $20.
01:46 She ended up selling the piece for $260, ending up with $240 in profit.
01:53 Not too shabby.
01:54 Camacho's most popular flip is this dresser, which ended up earning over 2 million likes.
01:59 "It was really tough trying to find the time to work on this dresser, especially during
02:04 finals week and work.
02:05 One of my favorite places to get hardware is Hobby Lobby, especially when they're 50%
02:10 off.
02:11 And I went with these clear and gold knobs.
02:13 And here is the finished result.
02:15 I took photos and listed it on Facebook Marketplace for $3.75.
02:18 And that's what it sold for in just four days."
02:21 Since starting her series about trying to buy a car, Camacho has earned over 140,000
02:27 followers and has over $2,000 set aside for her new ride.
02:32 So if you're willing to put in the hard work and have a vision for what someone else's
02:35 trash could be, maybe flipping furniture is the side hustle for you.
