Your Home Has a Story to Tell. Are You the Main Character?
Your Home Has a Story to Tell. Are You the Main Character?
Have you ever looked around your home and thought about how much of you is reflected in it? As furniture artists, we spend so much time creating beautiful pieces for other people's homes that we sometimes forget to use those same talents in our own. You know that old saying about the cobbler's children having no shoes? Well, let's make sure that doesn't describe us!
In this episode, I'm sharing some of the creative projects I've done around our home, from transforming an antique door into entryway décor to turning an old window into wall art and using specialty paints and stencils to make our master bedroom hallway uniquely ours. Along the way, we'll talk about repurposing sentimental furniture, changing our décor as our needs change, and recognizing just how valuable the skills we've developed really are.
And if you're new to furniture flipping, don't think these possibilities are only for experienced artists. Every skill can be learned, and every project gives you another opportunity to grow. You might even discover ways to share those skills with family and friends or create another source of income.

Furniture Flipping Craftsmanship: When Is Good Enough, Good Enough?
When Is Good Enough, Good Enough?
Do you really have to fix every dent, scratch, sticky drawer, and imperfection before you sell a piece of furniture? The answer is one beginners probably don’t love hearing: it depends. 😂
In this episode, we’re talking about furniture flipping craftsmanship and learning to recognize the difference between character and damage, history and neglect, and excellence and perfectionism. I’ll share some real-life examples—including an antique dresser in my RV, advice I’ve seen given to beginning flippers, and even a 45-year-old story about an oral surgeon that taught me something about the responsibility that comes with knowing what you’re doing.
Because becoming a skilled furniture flipper isn’t about reaching perfection. It’s about developing the knowledge and judgment to recognize what matters, doing your best with what you know today, and continuing to learn as you go.
If you’re tired of trying to piece together one-sentence answers from Facebook comments and wondering which advice actually applies to your project, come join me inside Furniture Flipping Blueprint.
I’ll help you understand not just what to do, but why, when, and sometimes just as importantly, when not to do it—so you can build your skills, trust your own judgment, and become more confident in the decisions you make.

I Broke The “Rules” On my Antique Dresser — Specialty Paints for the Win
Does using spray paint on furniture count as cheating? Do you have to paint every inch of a dresser? And does a more difficult technique automatically make a furniture redesign better?
Not in my workshop.
In this episode of The Furniture Artist’s Resource Guide, I’m taking you behind the scenes of the antique dresser I redesigned for our RV. Instead of using a traditional furniture paint for the base coat, I combined spray paints, acrylic stencil paint and several different metallics to create the finish I had pictured in my head. Along the way, I’m sharing some of the lessons I’ve learned about recoat times, primer color, metallic coverage, stencil care, topcoat sheen—and what happened when a spray can started spitting and accidentally gave me exactly the effect I wanted.
This isn’t a step-by-step dresser tutorial. It’s about learning what different products can do so you can choose the right one for your project. Sometimes working smarter really is the better way.
In This Episode
Why quick and easy doesn’t mean cutting corners
How I used spray paint, stencil paint and metallics on an antique dresser
Spray-paint mistakes I’ve made—and what they taught me
Why different metallic paints create very different effects
How the right topcoat can protect your finish without dulling the glitz
Why knowing your products gives you more creative freedom
Why the hardest way isn’t necessarily the best way
If you’re listening and thinking, "I wish I knew how to make those decisions for myself," you can learn. Furniture Flipping Blueprint gives you step-by-step guidance for developing your furniture-redesign and flipping skills, along with a community of furniture artists who understand the questions, mistakes, victories and learning that happen along the way.
It’s a resource and a group of friends in one place.
