After 25 years as a registered nurse, Cami Lane, 48, discovered a new profession nursing distressed furnishings back to health. It all began with a pair of $20 secondhand nightstands she painted, fitted with new {hardware} and bought for $275, according to PEOPLE.
Lane saved flipping about one piece a week. Within six months, her burgeoning business was incomes more than her job, so she give up. Burned out at work, “I kept thinking about the pieces waiting at home,” she says.
Lane works out of her household’s three-car storage and sells principally on Facebook Marketplace. She says on her best month she earned about $8,400. Black and beige finishes are her go-tos because they promote fast. An Ethan Allen hutch she purchased for $100 bought for $1,500, but a $150 dresser that went for $850 paid higher per hour of work.
Lane now sells a $37 flipping information and does model partnerships, which has let her cut her refinishing time from eight to 10 hours a week.
