Initially, it started as a hobby that I thought I would forget about like a lot of other hobbies I started. But to my surprise, I loved the process and the ability to be creative with the furniture pieces. Here I am years later, and I am still working on new projects! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a full time student at the University of Northern Iowa who is also involved in a variety of other organizations, my time to work on personal projects is limited. When I do get the chance, I\u2019m constantly learning with every project, and I\u2019m excited to share the lessons I\u2019ve learned along the way and tips and tricks I continue to discover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am excited to document the process of my personal projects and share the practical lessons I learn along the way through my blogs. Additionally I will use TikTok to create engaging content about my furniture flipping projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-huge-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:700;line-height:1;text-transform:uppercase\">More than furniture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furniture flipping is more than sanding and painting. To me, the process has taught me how to slow down, look deeper than the surface, and use problem solving to bring a vision to life. You may imaging the process of flipping furniture to be simple, yet there are always unexpected problems that arise. Whether it&#8217;s a tough-to-remove finish or damage hidden beneath the surface, you never know what you&#8217;re getting yourself into until you start. While it can be frustrating, it is also what makes the process so rewarding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My goal is to help inspire and motivate anyone looking to tackle their own projects. I focus on flipping furniture, but what I hope you take away from Repeat Furniture is this: <strong>what looks worn out can always be made new again.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"382\" src=\"https:\/\/buzz.uni.edu\/repeatfurniture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Untitled-design-copy-5-1-1024x382.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzz.uni.edu\/repeatfurniture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Untitled-design-copy-5-1-1024x382.png 1024w, https:\/\/buzz.uni.edu\/repeatfurniture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Untitled-design-copy-5-1-300x112.png 300w, https:\/\/buzz.uni.edu\/repeatfurniture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Untitled-design-copy-5-1-768x286.png 768w, https:\/\/buzz.uni.edu\/repeatfurniture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Untitled-design-copy-5-1-1536x572.png 1536w, https:\/\/buzz.uni.edu\/repeatfurniture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Untitled-design-copy-5-1.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-social-links is-layout-flex wp-block-social-links-is-layout-flex\">\n\n\n\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 ABOUT ME&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I began refurbishing furniture in the summer of 2023 after finding inspiration from a video.
