This week, I tackled two furniture flips—a faux bamboo dresser and a small antique dresser. But instead of two wins, I ended up with two flops. 😅 From unexpected damage to a positive lead paint test, things didn’t go as planned. But hey, that’s the reality of flipping furniture! Stick around to see what went wrong, what I learned, and how I still ended the week on a high note with a sale.
