My new must watch TV is a show on HG TV called “Flea Market Flip”.
Two teams shop flea markets to find three items to fix up and flip (resell) for profit. The team with the most net profit at the end wins $5000. The flips are amazing!
I started to visit my local flea markets and thrift stores just to see what was possible for me as a beginner.
Today I am sharing my first find, and simple fix up!
A candle sconce, with simple lines, that is now a gold and beautiful addition to my home.
This is how it looked when I purchased it for 50 cents. Dust and dirt in every corner with slight scratches here and there.
I cleaned it up and simply spray painted with my favorite gold paint.
I added a battery operated candle to complete, adding some warmth to the item.
A bunch of options for this 50 cent find, hang it in a corner, place on my dining room table, or on my desk.
Allowing myself to be a beginner I started small, but small flips first, building on each project.
I found this light fixture for sale on Overstock.com, maybe as I grow as a flipper I would have this vision for my candle sconce!
Turn it upside down and add the lighting works!
Somewhere I read that for a happy life you need three things, someone to love, something to do, and something to look forward to!
I have folks to love, and now finding and fixing up items is my new something to do and to look forward to!
Have a happy day!
