#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

DAY 3 - Season 2 of the Mercury Insurance Flip Challenge, where I keep flipping things to make more money and save for my future! We’ve now finished a vintage side table, set of MCM chairs, and a set of vintage bookshelves! Today we’re working on this set of Paul Frankl MCM side tables and a Campaign Bookcase & Desk set. Pro Tip: Restoring pieces to how they were originally made is the best thing you can do for its resale value. Bonus Pro Tip: Let’s talk hinges! When you restore something, always make sure the hinges are refinished because it completely brightens and freshens up a piece. Come back to see the GRAND TOTAL of how much profit I made from fixing and flipping all of these pieces in Season 2 of the Mercury Insurance Flip Challenge! #MercuryPartner #MercuryFlipChallenge #MercuryProTips #Furnitureflipping #Furnitureflip #Furnituremakeovers #FurnitureRestorations #Vintagefurniture #MidCenturyFurniture #Bookcases #mcmfurniture

DAY 2 - Season 2 of the Mercury Insurance Flip Challenge, where I flip $1,000 worth of items to see how far I can make that money grow! So far I restored a vintage side table. Today we’re restoring this set of 6 MCM chairs and these Vintage Bookshelves. Pro Tip: Sometimes, all you need in a flip is a little Restor-A-Finish to revive any old and tired wood! Stay tuned to see the last 2 flips in this series - and don’t miss the final reveal of how much profit I made to save for my future! #MercuryPartner #MercuryFlipChallenge #MercuryProTips #Furnitureflipping #Furnitureflip #Furnituremakeovers #FurnitureRestorations #Vintagefurniture #MidCenturyFurniture #chairmakeover

THE RESULTS ARE IN! 💰 Last year, I partnered with Mercury Insurance and they challenged me to take ~$1,000 and make that money grow - because that was the average that Californians saved when switching to Mercury car insurance. So, I turned that into $4,530 by fixing and flipping pieces of furniture! Now...I have just completed Season 2 of the challenge where I spent another ~$1,000, and here is the new total profit number if I sell all of these amazing items I restored! 1. MCM side table $750 2. MCM end tables $1,000 3. MCM dining chairs kept them...but sold a bed in their place for $1,000 4. Vintage Bookshelf $750 5. Vintage Desk $750 6. Vintage Bookshelves $1,000 Which means if all of these items sell...I will make a whopping $5,350 in this round of flips! And that means a total profit from both seasons of....$9,880!!!!!!!! Pro Tip: It’s okay to keep a flip if you love it - however my word of advice is...if you keep one you gotta sell one! So I kept the chairs and sold the bed I no longer needed. AKA “Spring Cleaning!” 😉 I hope this inspired you to switch and save on auto insurance and grow those savings into even MORE money.
