#ad I grew $1,008 into $4,530 by doing this! 👇🏼

A few months ago I partnered with Mercury Insurance and they challenged me to take $1,000+ and make it grow - because that is the average that Californians save when switching to Mercury car insurance. So, I turned $1,008 into $4,530 by fixing and flipping pieces of furniture! Since moving to California & in light of the recent So-Cal fires…I realized that I need to be better prepared for life’s unexpected challenges, such as having great insurance and saving for the future. Therefore, I decided to take a chunk out of that $4,530 profit and reinvest it into more cool items that I can fix and flip! Pro Tip: I got only pieces of vintage furniture because I KNOW there is a market out there for vintage furniture collectors and customers. Plus, they really hold their value! So…Welcome to Season 2 of the Mercury Flip Challenge! Stay tuned to see how I make this money grow even further #MercuryPartner #MercuryFlipChallenge #MercuryProTips #Furnitureflipping #Furnitureflip #Furnituremakeovers #FurnitureRestorations #Vintagefurniture

When you restore something, always make sure the hinges are refinished because it completely brightens and freshens up a piece.
