For savvy shoppers, thrifting is key but when you are a serious Do-It-Yourself-Guru finding THAT DEAL is priceless. Once you realize how to flip and how much people will actually pay you for it, the flipping becomes addictive! It’s not always easy, as for some, seeing the potential in a rather unattractive or dirty and worn out item might not be visible or enjoyable. However, if you’re crafty, creative and aren’t worried about using a little elbow grease, you might want to check out Redland Market Village for your next project!
Below are a few flips from HGTV that we love!

Or maybe you just need another chair! If your carpentry skills aren’t the best, just grab any chair you like that is in decent shape, give it a little sanding and a fresh, fun coat of paint. Add a pillow and it’s now a focal point and a chair everyone will love to sit in!
Kristi from I Should Be Mopping The Floor took her Thrift Store Side Table and went a step beyond by making it into a Beverage Station! Just a little paint, some sanding, cut a hole, insert the super cool rusty bucket and add some ice along with your favorite drinks! This will certainly look great at any party! Cheap, trendy and practical, an all-around win.
