#furniture flip diy

[acid-onthefloor]

I de-sad beige mom'd this closet

I got it for free from an older relative's attic. It probably got painted in this ugly ass eggshell white some time after WW II, but at least some parts of it are wayyy older. I did not put a new door in there, on pic 1 I had just removed it to work on it, but if you look closely, you can see that I flipped the middle part inside out, so that there is now a little step (?) in there. I also changed the handles, since the old ones also didn't look good (and wouldn't have fit the new colour anyways), but i had already taken them off in pic 1.

My dad also made me a board i can put in there to create a second floor. My shirts and jackets are hanging in there from a clothes rail that was already in there. As you can see, the inside was not painted at all, but it's now brown too, since I think it looks better this way.

If you look closely, you mught spot a bit of damage due to the recent move - it barely fit through the door. I will paint over it in the next few days, but I wanted to show it already, since I'm pretty proud of it

so i complain a lot about low build quality of modern durable goods, but i do think there's a lot of freedom in having durable goods that (while they meet or exceed a minimum level of functionality) you aren't tempted to Keep Nice.

i don't care if my cat sharpens her claws on the couch because it's an ikea couch i got for free off a friend who was moving away. i don't care if my car gets scratched because it's already dinged up and it doesn't make it any less drivable. i don't care if my desk chair upholstery gets stained; it was cheap and who gives a shit if my chair is grungy. in many cases i actively disprefer the Nice version of the thing (like, say, a fancy expensive car) because it's emotionally a lot harder to blow off incidental damage.

this is also a thing that's really nice about DIYing/thrift flipping furniture and shit: i don't care that much if i scratch up the finish on my desk because -- well, it's a desk. who cares if a desk is scratched?? but also, i built the damn thing, so i can just sand it and refinish it with the exact same varnish. i could reupholster the various cat-scratched furniture, if for some reason i wanted to do that. i CAN, in fact, Fix Him.

i grew up in a house with a bunch of Nice Furniture, including (most frustratingly) antiques where you absolutely could not leave anything wet on them ever. a couple times, in the course of lighting birthday candles, the kitchen table accidentally got match-scorched, and my mom STILL tisks over those burn marks every time she remembers they exist. and i have to say, constantly Being Careful of the Furniture did and still does drive me up the wall. it's exhausting. like -- you don't have to spend mental energy on that!! you can refinish the dang table! you can, idk, lasercut some clear acrylic sheets to put on top of the antique dresser set! you can also decide to just not care about your stuff displaying the ordinary signs of wear and tear from being lived with, instead of trying to make a home a furniture showplace. every time i look at the scorch marks on my parents' kitchen table, i remember eating birthday cake.

Elain: cottage core, gardening, asmr candy scooping, baking

Lucien: he watches those videos of middle aged dudes who build cabins from scratch in the woods

Eris: he’s very into critiquing ppl doing TikTok dances, gay TikTok

Tamlin: personal attention role play asmr and Feyre edits.

okay i don’t have a proper prompt for this but just had a thought of boyfriend maya doing diy 🤭 and had to share

a little blurb🤭🤭🤭( i hope this is what you meant btw😭)

-

when you make the move to manchester- maya is ecstatic, she picks you up from the airport with the full shebang. flowers, a sign, and a big hug that has your feet hovering in the air.

her strong arms wrap around you and spin you around- your luggage thudding to the ground behind you.

"maya!"

you laugh- swatting at her to put you down, and when she does, her hands grab your face, pulling you into a heated kiss.

she pulls away eventually- chest heaving and eyes gleaming with sheer joy.

"youre finally here!"

she swings her arm over your shoulder- tugging off your backpack and swinging it over her own shoulders. she picks up your luggage with her other hand and guides you out to her car.

"we should go get you settled!"

-

maya insists you go pick out some of your own furniture- something to decorate your own 'office space'. no bed needed- a perk of moving in with your girlfriend.

you walk along in ikea- stopping and inspecting every desk and bookshelf, maya follows you diligently.

giving you a thumbs up at every piece you ask for her opinion on.

finally- you make it through the maze that is ikea, and to the end where you pick up the furniture pieces.

maya makes you hold the trolley steady and you watch her arms flex as they lift heavy box, after heavy box.

"oh my god"

you mutter quietly- eyes still on her tones arms.

"hey my eyes are up here!"

maya shouts at you playfully, and you snap your eyes up to meet hers.

-

when you get home- maya carries everything in (not that youd complain with the free show shes giving).

she claps her hands, startling you out of your daydream.

"okay you read- i build."

you read her the instructions slowly- watching her as she works quickly to build together the desk.

she holds one of the legs steady with one hand- the other drilling the screws in place.

"boom! all done."

her forearms flex as she flips the desk over to the correct side.

turning to you with a grin and flexing her arms

"how'd ya like my handy work?"

"mmh very good babe."

"should we test the weight limit on this thing?"

without another word she picks you up- dropping you on the desk and pulling you into a searing kiss.

when she steps closer you hear metal jingling- and you go to pull away, but maya grabs your face to keep you in the kiss.

finally she pulls away- pecking your lips once again and patting your thigh.

"okay now get off- i didnt actually finish building it i just wanted a kiss."

"'maya!"

Flat pack furniture . . .

Copia x gn!reader

You and Copia try and put a bed frame together and he's not as useful as he thinks he is...

"C, you're literally screwing it on backwards . . ."

"I am not! Look! This piece goes there!"

You and Copia had been trying to put together your new bed frame for almost an hour and were both extremely close to giving up. He thought a little DIY project would do the both of you good but he was sorely mistaken.

"Copia, trust me! It goes there! Do you want some help?" you laugh while Papa sighs in frustration as he begins to unscrew the leg he'd clearly put in wrong.

"No, it's fine, I've got it! Trust me! I'm an expert!" he frowned. You murmur in disagreement. After fiddling with a screw for a little while, he lets out a low grunt in frustration. "I give up." sliding away and crossing his arms dramatically. "You do it." he mumbled.

"Alright alright!". You finish with the frame in around half an hour, spurred on by the little kisses Copia places on you knuckles, cheek, forehead, nose, and lips whenever he hands you a screw or you finished a piece.

"So clever, amore! Look at that!" He has finally cheered up by the time you had finish. You try to flip the frame over but you can't quite do it. Copia notices you struggling and rushes over to help. "No need to strain yourself, doll. Let me help your little noodle arms out!" he grinned.

"Noodle arms??" you gasped.

"Mmhm! Look at those lil twigs you got going on there!" he joked, squeezing your upper arm. Copia quickly flips the bed frame over and moves it into place. You drag the mattress onto the frame and Copia throws the covers on. You both sigh as the two of you sink into the bed. "I think I've done a pretty good job!" Copia boasts.

"You? Barely did any of this!" you pushed him playfully.

"I handed you the screws! And, I was moral support!! I was very useful!!"

"sure . . ."

"Thank you for doing this!" he grins as he plants another kiss on your cheek.

"You're welcome, Papa"

"So uhhh, how about we test this new bed out then, eh?" he winks as he elbows you.

"Yeah, I'm having a nap" you yawn as you close your eyes.

"You're the worst!" You know he doesn't mean it. You can hear him smiling as he speaks. Once again, he places a light kiss on your forehead as he wraps his arms around you and buries his head into the nape of your neck. His breath becomes softer as he begins to fall asleep. You'd never been to heaven but you assumed this is what it felt like.

i watch so much diy and home reno (if they're normal ab it and not flipping houses and furniture for profit and painting everything white) and i fr need to stop cuz i get rly inspired and then i realise very quickly that nice furniture usually costs money or if it's cheap (2nd hand) it usually reqs a car..... and then i get sad lmaoooo

[gayspock]

genuinely though i love and support the idea behind DIYing and thrifting a load of shit & i try to do that where i can but its absolutely unrealistic for so many ppl. especially DIY & yet ppl bring it up so cavalier.... like yeah of course its cheap when you already have all the tools, the talent, and the space to flip furniture in. but like if youre a complete amateur its genuinely scary and a complete gamble to sink a load of money, time, and resources into stuff... -_- and its like yeah. ofc its a skill that i would love to build, and i do think a base level of it is necessary. but its like... i can watch all the youtube videos i like and prep all i like. if i try to put panelling up by myself, being 5'2'' with no upper body strength, no space to work, and a physical awkwardness i can only describe as concerning, its like im gonna blow a hole in my pocket with my go-getter attitude twice as large when it comes to having to get someone to fix it too

rosie’s favorite thing is showing our furniture design major roommate shitty life hack diys and furniture flips and i now see her appeal because there’s nothing funnier than looking over to see rosie with the biggest shit-eating grin on her face while he mumbles and grumbles under his breath about varnish and nails with the vitriol of someone who’s just witnessed a crime against humanity
