One suggestion. You bought all that beautiful colored glass but it totally gets lost on those very dark shelves. If you painted the inside white, the glass would stand out beautifully.

@dhammes9616 9 месяцев назад

I said the same thing about the shelf’s and glass

@twinnish 9 месяцев назад

One thing I recently learned the first time I got a reed diffuser is the more reeds you put in there, the more intense the smell will be, and it will also get used up faster. I really enjoyed a little bit more subtlety with the scent. The reeds make that intensity very adjustable. As much as many people love the smell of candles and the read the fusers, it can get a little intense for a lot of people, so you might want to be careful with that. I say, especially in a more closed room. I love the smells but they give me intense headaches after a while. Just something to think about. I really love all the new store stuff. And I can't wait to see you start doing the things in the shop again and making stuff happen. Do you still have the airbnb and if so how's it going?

@flaminbird1 9 месяцев назад

@makeuplover6852 9 месяцев назад

THIS !!!!!!!!! There is a tremendous amount of value in the work you have already done Lauren, just like any other artistic creator, you sell by what you have already done, your catelogue of work is extremly valuable. Just as a model shows up for a potential placement they come with their portfoliio of their previous work, a cabnet builder comes to talk about a new possible opportunity with picures of their previous work. I think a gallery wall of the before and afters of some of the most spectacular peices would be amazing.

@colletteleblanc8678 9 месяцев назад

Walls would help to customers see pieces in their space. Consider hiring a styler or home stager for a to set things up. Once you see it setup you’ll be able to envision future setups yourself ❤

Congratulations on your new store I know you will be very successful. It does though take some time to be known. I do agree with another commentor on here that said to put your colored glassware somewhere where it would really pop;when it is sitting in the dark shelving it does not pop out for people to see it in its best light. Again all the best to both of you in your new endeavor 🎊

But you two are You Tube sensations!! That news headline was not exaggerated. The whole furniture flipping and You Tube thing exploded before you even know what happened. Your entire story is online and that is sooo exciting for those of us on the sidelines. I am just so very happy for you both and send you two great wishes for more success than you imagine. And another thing….you guys really were due to have ALL your furniture, materials and filming studio in one place. No more storage units and fiddling around with garages and hidden spaces in your house to get things done. It is all together in one space like all professional businesses. You two outgrew the little side hustle to pay off a student loan and expand your filming skills ages ago.

@BriarRose-ed7li 9 месяцев назад

Consider offering a good amount of smaller furniture pieces such as night stands, sofa tables,etc and then a large amount of interesting unique smalls as people want to buy something and maybe they are not in the market at that moment for furniture but they are seeing what you have for future purchases and they can walk out with something from your shop as those smaller purchases add up to paying the bills.

@wendycampbell5099 9 месяцев назад

From a seasoned business owner....if you can put out a portable sign...that is the best form of advertisement along with referrals. I would suggest looking at successful furniture stores to see how they display their furniture. You need many price points and lost liters to draw people in. I think your you tube audience is way different than the in store business. In retail people do not want to know all the details they just want to see results. Though everyone is happy for your success and accomplishments, not everything needs to be told.. the mystery keeps them coming. Love to you both and continued success. Yes owning a business is 24/7....that is what it takes to make a business a success...❤❤❤❤

@debmarie55 9 месяцев назад

I love your store, from what i can see here. Suggestions: set up a couple of room vignettes complete with lamps, accent pieces, artwork above the sofa, end tables, sofa, side chair, rug. Price it as a complete room with a discount for purchasing the entire "room full for furniture" and have a list of separate prices, showing how much they could save buy purchasing the entire room.

@njyo8135 День назад

No, keep it the way it is. Your setup is what impressed me because it's not like the big box stores. Love the paintbrush wall and smart idea for the paint stirrers.

@cottagekeeper 9 месяцев назад

Caution ⚠️ when using glass for candles make sure you use glass rated for high heat. The carnival glass bowl could shatter with too much heat, it is a huge liability for your company. It’s seems like a neat idea but I recommend staying with only high heat rated glass, using metal is also dangerous it could get hot enough to catch furniture on fire. Candle fires are very common and candle manufacturers get sued all the time. You’ve worked so hard, have due diligence with your candles.

@krcl8812 9 месяцев назад

I've mentioned this when there was a reveal that thrifted glass would be used to make candles.😢

@455FurnitureDesigns 9 месяцев назад

I have been refinishing furniture for 20 plus years. I specialize in full-on restoration although I always enjoy a good painted flip too. You are 3 years into this journey and have come so far. When I started there was no such thing as RU-vid and it honestly was just word of mouth. One of the things that I have found over and over is don't let the end of a journey so to speak be a mood buster. I'm not really sure how to say what I'm trying to say... I don't have a storefront never have never will I just understand the experience of working so hard to reach that end goal and then it's done. Each of those accomplishments needs to be a positive bullet in your "finished file" of your thoughts. Don't get disappointed when everything doesn't fly out the door right away. I recently sold a dresser that has been sitting here for 5 weeks. Because my prices are so incredibly reasonable I was completely shocked that it took that long. On a recent vacation I just sat near the water and thought about the fact that not everybody sees everything in the first 24 to 48 hours. Patience, oh patience is a really tough thing I understand but let it be and it will happen. They're also comes the side of it where you have to be completely realistic too. We all know that a certain piece of furniture will sell for very different prices based on location. I'm sorry I didn't mean this to sound like a lecture... I feel like a big sister so to speak watching you evolve and grow. Get back to flipping furniture because you know in your heart that is where it all started and that is where the biggest fulfillment personally comes from To watch your vision become a reality is what we each strive for no matter what walk of life we are in. Beyond proud of you guys for coming this far this fast. Now sit down take a deep breath and get back to what makes you smile the most. Best wishes 💕💕

@tonyasmallwood2068 9 месяцев назад

The shop is great! Check your prices that they are good for your market. The one dresser you showed for 900.00 before paint seemed pricey. I also think maybe more small tables and end tables at a lower price point. But keep up the good work! Be patient and work your surrounding market. I have been reselling for years and it can be stressful but I love doing it! Keep up the good work!!!

@FurnitureFlippingTeacher 9 месяцев назад

some of the pieces are priced that way cause I know the value they hold. most of them are $300 or less as is. good idea for the smaller pieces. I think I will have to adjust what I flip here and there. thanks for your support!

@lesleygreig8225 9 месяцев назад

Pieces are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them, remember most people don’t have your vision of what they could be and are seeing them for what they are, second hand furniture. Shop looks great, wish there was something like it close to me. Good luck, you deserve it after all the hard work you’ve put in. @@FurnitureFlippingTeacher

@alyssamarie3242 7 месяцев назад

I agree love the store and the furniture but prices seemed a bit high and the only true value comes from what people are willing to pay for it. Anyone who has been watching your videos knows what you used to buy restore then sell them for and the prices now reflect your new overhead more than the "value" of a piece of furniture. Not that I don't understand business I do I'm just saying don't get discouraged for slow sales your changing your clientele. Facebook buyers are looking for deals and your now marketing to the next economic level of buyer might take some time.

@noraevan6076 7 месяцев назад

People, just remember that she has to pay rent and bills, pay trucks to bring her furniture (pick it up and drop it off) and pay people to help her. There’s a lot involved!

@missindependent1973 3 месяца назад

@@noraevan6076yes, there’s lot involved but having more lower priced items will bring in more people. You’ll sell way more if shoppers thought they’ll get a deal. Take a house that’s $800,000 vs a home that’s priced at $250,000. The lower priced home fits within more people’s budgets so it’ll go faster. I’d rather sell lots of lower priced items than wait a year to sell a piece priced at nearly $1000.

I also adore how Lauren is so present when listening to others speak and how she prioritizes each person who is in front of her making each interaction meaningful. May sound strange to say that but our modern age has deteriorated true communication and thought provocation… ironically by at-our-fingertip technology that was created to bring more of us together. I think you guys are using it and your platform for good. Setting a great example of humanity, stunningly beautiful furniture aside.

@NatTayHill 9 месяцев назад

Are you still listing your items on Facebook? I think that would be great and definitely be needed until you get things rolling. You have so much knowledge when it comes to that! The only difference is they just have to come to a store-front instead of coming to your home.

@robinbrown7953 9 месяцев назад

The prices seem really high, especially for the unfinished pieces. I can go to my local habitat restore and find items like you showed for 50.00 to 100.00.

@FurnitureFlippingTeacher 9 месяцев назад

Hey there Robin! To elaborate more on what you see as far as prices go - the pieces listed that are unfinished are for sale at the prices that you see because I will be making over those pieces at some point and selling for more. But in the case someone wants to purchase then they have that opportunity but now that is one less piece I will be able to make over. Opportunity cost they call it. Hope that provides a bit more clarity for you (: Thanks for watching!

@rhondadavis1483 9 месяцев назад

I agree. Lauren the thing is, it is an opportunity lost, and potentially more lost for the future, if ppl are shocked at your stickers, and leave and don’t return. I’m sure most don’t get it that it’s an item that can be customized and be worth more. You will spend a lot of time “selling” ppl on that idea. And many are not going to pay that. Esp in this economy. I’ve started and had several businesses. I’ve always kept my prices low to draw in my customers and let them see my work. Then slowly I was able to increase my prices. I’m sure that’s how you have done it, and done it well, with your YT channel. Just my opinion. Good luck with everything.

@LifeofJulz 9 месяцев назад

I have noticed that most new businesses have super low prices when they first open to gain “word of mouth” advertisement as well as good reviews on google, yelp, etc. Then, raise their prices gradually. Also, I think if there was mostly already refinished furniture, there would be more sales.

@littleigloo5931 8 месяцев назад

Creating sample finishes that people can look at in the store helps sell custom furniture. Most people have a hard time visualizing what a coat of paint will look like on furniture, but holding a 4” swatch sample next to a dresser or chair, etc. can really help. Letting people buy a swatch can also help sell furniture because they can take it home and look at it next to the other colors in their home or office space and feel comfortable knowing the color will or will not work in their space. Keep it up and don’t forget your customers. They are what make you successful every step of the way. Give each the attention they deserve and it will benefit you forevermore.

@bellegirl218 9 месяцев назад

You two did a very nice job! I understand your disappointment in your initial sales. I rent space in a shop and sell my artwork and always feel like my expectations are too high. In your case, your successful youtube channel is not where you should expect your customers to come from. Your members want to learn how to flip. I think you will find your customer for furniture in time. *Just a thought...maybe you should include pieces (decor) from local artists!* Congrats!!!

@FurnitureFlippingTeacher 9 месяцев назад

thank you! We're going to keep learning this side of the business and growing undoubtedly. We are excited for what is ahead!

@lizhoward9754 9 месяцев назад

I think you nailed it. Most of the store front customers will be local and not always us You Tube followers who live 1000+ miles away. A new store takes A LOT of time and patience to build up a strong customer base and reputation. Drawing people in by selling furniture on Facebook Market Place will also help spread the word locally.

@jeanettestandley2040 9 месяцев назад

Love your local artist idea! That could be profitable to the artist and the store! I am currently working on a jewelry armoire that was my moms, she passed away in July, and I am decorating and painting it on the outside with my mother's favorite flowers, gardening was her love, and I am adding photos (decoupaging) of my mom and my daughter together I had printed on canvas to the inside doors.

Great job, guys! I think what may help with Right-sizing your expectations is to see that your customer base for your physical store is not much smaller than what you are used to with your online and Maketplace customer base. You're acclimated to RU-vid - sized growth and support. Give yourselves time to adjust. A small start, a slow start is not a prediction of failure. Utilize all of the platforms you already have customer bases through to advertise and search for more platforms. I'm glad you've been blessed by those who could be there to help you in person. May you continue to seek out and acknowledge the daily, weekly blessings.

@twinnish 9 месяцев назад

I'm wondering if maybe the price of the base furniture Should be more in line with a nice used piece of curated furniture And perhaps the finished work done furniture would more reflect the custom nature of the process because when you said the price of that dresser, I had real sticker shock. The prices of your finished furniture make absolute sense to me but the use furniture is still used furniture and I am pretty sure that the fact that it is curated and I am assuming cleand it's going to impact the price hundred dollars for a used dresser? Maybe that 1 was particularly special. And I just don't get it. But that seemed really really high. Your finished pieces have always seemed quite reasonable knowing the work and everything that went into it. I know that finding it and curating. It is not without its own value. I just don't know if people who are buying a piece of used furniture will appreciate it quite as much as nine hundred dollars, Everybody appreciate somebody else doing the hard work of painting. This is just my opinion so take it for what it's worth to you. As always, I wish all good things for you guys and I hope I get to see your store someday❤

@marthaely8244 9 месяцев назад

You said exactly what I wanted to say. If you need furniture, you can thrift almost enough to furnish an entire home for 900 dollars. But when Lauren refinishes a piece it definitely ups the value.

@BrooklynHudson 9 месяцев назад

One thing you might not be considering is that some of these pieces are worth more due to the brand. Some antique pieces are worth thousands because the brand no longer exists but was known to be exceptionally made. I paid $100 for a used buffet and a carpenter happened to visit my home and I caught him looking at the piece. He asked if he couls look at the back where he found a name and serial number. It turned out the piece was worh $12,000. I moved the following year and got an even $10,000. from a knowlegable buyer who had a matching China cabinet.

@bca500o 9 месяцев назад

You were my inspiration to refinish a couple of furniture pieces that came close to being set out for trash. I followed your instructions to repair the damaged surfaces.

Have you considered contacting local Artists that make unique beautiful items and see if they would be interested in putting their creations on consignment that way you carry items from artists that create items you all don’t make so there is no competition with your things but add lots of variety with no up front costs for you all. You make a percentage of what you sell of theirs and they have a place to showcase their talents.

Okay, after watching the last part with you guys on the couch, I understand how you feel about the high expectations and I just want to stress to you that advertising will need to be your main focus to get business. Lots and lots of advertising. Find unique ways to do it. Rewards too. But I hope you understand that RU-vid is not your main target to advertise to because most are from other cities, states, etc. and are mainly here for the videos. It helps for the online store, but for your physical store you need to focus advertising locally, next towns over, within 100 mile radius. Use craigslist, local town's magazines, farmer's markets, Facebook marketplace, like you probably have been, but expand even further for advertising. Also, you need to work and people will have to understand that you can't just shoot the breeze with them. Maybe make 1 day of the week specifically for a certain hour or couple of hours that people can come to talk to you and hang out in person and ask questions directly and advertise it as such to let people know you won't be available any other time while you are working. I know everything will work out for you both because you are very dedicated hard workers, and great entrepreneurs! 🥰

I have this same bugaboo with websites I order paint from so I know exactly what you’re meaning. This is only the beginning 🥰 thank you Sheila!

That was great. I live in Georgia now, but I was born and raised in Omaha. So I will have to come check you out the next time I’m in town. Best wishes in your brick & mortar store. You can do it!!

You two are so freaking amazing! This is and can be terrifying, so many questions that yet to have answers and so with the excitement take some deep breaths along the way. You will be so successful it is a delight to see the beginnings and hear your thoughts and see your progress, who knew 4 years ago this is where you would be today?!! Expectations, well hummmm yes we all have them the key is to moderate them as you are discussing, and try to enjoy each mini milestone along the way because one day soon I think you will be struck by everything you two have accomplished and you will know when you have “arrived” and met your expectations. Buying big pieces or sets of furniture outside of an established vendor like Ethan Allen or Macy’s is very new to most of us and so from a consumer standpoint the conversation you have with clients on how you ensure their piece(s) will arrive without damage is very important, also whether you can offer White Glove delivery is another key component for those of us that live alone and are only 5ft tall, we gladly pay for someone to help or to just move it in and unpack the pieces. I wish you all the luck in the world although I know this will be a success for you a bit of extra luck never hurt anyone right?

The dark wall unit is perfect. You have come so far. This is your vision not anyone else. Few could touch your creativity.

Congratulations and a good start. Furnier in German means veneer. So even in German it has something to so with furniture.

Cranberry scented candle? You could make an exclusive four-nir scent too! You have fabulous color skills on the furniture. Just go with that as a start for any interior design elements you want to add to the showroom. Lamps would be a nice addition. Looking forward to watching you transform more furniture.

Love the name! It’s actually my maiden name but we spell it Fournier and we say it with a yay at the end.

@karenryan7258 3 месяца назад

Opening at Christmas time is tough, most people don’t buy furniture at Christmas. When you are starting out you are so excited for all of your dreams to come true but there is the reality of running a business. Best of luck.

@karlasommer5341 Месяц назад

Once you start staging your furniture with carpet etc…it will sell. Most people don’t have a vision. We buy defunct houses with good bones etc that no one can see the beauty in so we get good deals. You are the same…most dolls aren’t. Also the shelves you and your dad built are awesome. But something brighter behind the vases etc. will show them off. Your place is amazing. I’d love to take a class with you. Maybe folks will buy the furniture, take a class and finish it themselves to save money. Money is tight these days. Much love and prayers for your success. 🥰🙏🏻✝️💕

I love the name and that you made it your own word by not pronuoucing it, as the french would. The store is beautiful!! You can tell how much love and thought was put into it.

@marygalofre 9 месяцев назад

You guys are so incredibly hard working amd talented, Im concerned that you hadnt really thought through the lifestyle changes and implications of having a retail operation. I think you should definitely consider hiring store staff so you can go back to a lifestyle you enjoy id be sad after all that work that youre hating it. Im curious what motivated you to do a store since neither of you want a "9-5"? Was the idea to hire that out eventually?

Great video! Glad the counter was moved to the front of the store vs the back. Two fragrances that would work for the diffuser and melting cubes (not candles) would be musk and lemon.

@lucihedley5568 9 месяцев назад

Hi from Australia. I love watching you restore furniture instead of it going to land fill. I love doing the same - although personally, I'm getting a little long in the tooth now. Just a word of advice, keep talking to each other and don't let the business come between you. If you love each other, don't let a business ruin your relationship, nothing is worth that.

@barbblack7825 8 месяцев назад

Looks fantastic. Yes, only 1 week. It shall come. Workshops will probably be great too. You Tube has viewers from all over the world. Not everyone is close enough to get there in the first week...or ever but we all with you well for sure. Much success to you guys. Bless you

The store is awesome, you have all worked so hard to achieve this wonderfull success. I am also from Canada...I think you can definitly say "four" "nay"...it will just take a bit of practice, after all you are a teacher and teachers know that we can truly achieve just about anything we set our minds too :)

@claudineclaudinehamon2300 9 месяцев назад

If they really want to use the French prononciation, it's Four nir (neer) but the American way its great too 👌👍👏👏 and it's not that important after all, tomato/tomato 🤣😃

@makeuplover6852 9 месяцев назад

@@claudineclaudinehamon2300 I definitly get that :) I also speak french...I was just giving Lauren support that she can do hard things, attempting a different language especially in front of the world of the internet can definitly be a bit nerve wracking and agree in the big picture of course its not a big thing, but Lauren has already taught herself so much during this whole process my point was/is she could absolutely train herself to say the name in French if she wanted too :)
