What is more profitable?
I am so tired of seeing on YouTube, flippers channels with a lot of comments saying "so sad you painted this wood masterpiece..." Or so. I personally love when they flip from a mcm to a modern vibes style... I want to start my business but I'm so afraid that no one will actually buy it because of the comments I keep seeing on YouTube... I suppose that there has to be a community that is interested in buy fippled furniture (?) What are the trends now a days? I'm so confused please help me commenting your thoughts. TIA.

Saved this 96” Stowe Davis Credenza from Pinterest Purgatory
I’m so thankful they only painted the top and sides. But I wish I could have been there for the gaping hole they cut in the back. We are in KC and went all the way to Tulsa to get this. I had the 4 bay version, saw the 5 bay and was like whoa… kudos to everyone that strips paint from these pieces. Will rarely go to that length to save and restore a piece but I’m glad I did in this one!

I did not realize how long this has been going on for.
I didn't know how long this has been going on, but even in catalogues from 100 years ago I find paint for painting furniture advertised, even occasionally pre-painted furniture being sold. The August 1930 issue of Building - Decorating - Maintaining Your Home magazine advises dear reader to paint, then sand outdoor details of the home to give them a rustic look. What disturbs me most is that these painted furnitures of the past are virtually never seen, long since beridden in favor of the furniture with stained finishes preserved.
This is an unusual post and does not fit the flair, but I don't see why it wouldn't be allowed because it is entirely on-topic.
