I think the reason I could make a go of this whole "side business" is that I can see beyond what is in front of me. I get it from my mom - it is how I grew up :) I also look at something, set in my mind what I would have to do to "fix" it, how much it would cost, how long would it take before I could flip the project, and how much I could sell it for....all of that while an auctioneer is shouting his gibberish. So far, I feel I have been pretty good. I also have to think, am I buying this to make a profit or am I buying this to keep at my house. If I am keeping it, I am willing to pay a bit more because I am not trying to make a specific profit.
I bought MANY chairs to try at the last auction. I have never done a chair before, but I thought I would give it a try.
Here is my first attempt. I didn't really plan on yellow, but I was using it on something else, so it was in the paint tray ready to go. Did you know you can use a 40% coupon at Hobby Lobby for one "cut" of fabric? So if you want 5 yards of the same design, you can use it to get 40% off instead of the normal 30% off Hobby Lobby usually has on fabric. Who knew...well probably everyone but me because I don't really ever buy fabric.
For Sale $55
