This is what I want to do! I've done small projects for myself, but how do you get into this as a career?[/quote]
Same here. So funny. Tips on getting started? [/quote]

I am not the PP, but I also do this on a very part time basis. getting started is simple. Start buying junk at thrift stores, flea markets, garage sales, craigslist. Paint, refinish, repurpose it - whatever you are inspired to do for that piece. Once you have several pieces completed, start checking into renting a space at an antique mall and/or selling at a consignment shop. I currently do both. The consignment shop keeps 30%, and I do not pay rent. they do a fantastic job with advertising my pieces and display, so they certainly earn their 30%. For my booth, I share the space with a friend, and we each pay $42/month for a 4'x8' space, and they keep 10%. you can also try to sell on craigslist and Etsy, but i have not had much luck that way. It might just take some trial and error to find a store that suits you. [/quote]
