So I've recently started re-watching Bravo's Flipping Out with Jeff Lewis from season one since I found out it was available on Hulu. Needless to say I've been dreaming of flipping my own houses and making millions just like Jeff. However, since I have zero funds to start with and no idea about how to actually re-do a house, I thought I would start smaller. Like in my apartment. With one piece of furniture.
My own goal is to make my own kitchen island that I can wheel near my very small kitchen and keep in the much larger dining space when I'm not using it. That project is a to-be-continued for now but below are some of my favorite inexpensive and easy furniture flips for you to try at home.

Sometimes all you need is a little refresh with some
