Ep 10. DIY Daters vs. Bickering Buds

DIY Daters vs. Bickering Buds; in this episode, two teams go head-to-head in a friendly competition to see who can flip the best flea market finds for the most profit. The first team, the DIY Daters, is made up of a couple who are known for their do-it-yourself skills. They're confident that they have what it takes to turn any piece of junk into a goldmine. The second team, the Bickering Buds, is comprised of two friends who often get into heated arguments but manage to work well together.

Each team starts with a $500 budget and is given one hour to shop at the flea market for items they believe they can transform. They must use their creativity and ingenuity to find the best deals and turn them into something that buyers will want to purchase. The teams then take their finds back to the workshop, where they have one day to transform their items before presenting them to the judges.

The DIY Daters decide to go for a shabby-chic style, taking an old dresser and turning it into a wine bar, complete with wine racks and glass holders. They also find a set of vintage suitcases and transform them into a side table, painting them with a distressed look that fits their theme perfectly.

The Bickering Buds, on the other hand, decide to focus on a more industrial style, taking an old cart and turning it into a functional coffee table. They also find a set of metal chairs and decide to paint them with a metallic finish, giving them a modern look that they hope will appeal to buyers.

As the teams work on their projects, tensions run high between the Bickering Buds, as they begin to argue over design choices. However, they manage to put their differences aside and work together to finish their pieces on time.

When it comes time for the judges' evaluation, both teams are confident in their work. The DIY Daters present their wine bar and side table, along with a few smaller pieces that they had time to work on. The judges are impressed with their shabby-chic style and attention to detail, but question whether the items will appeal to a wide audience.

The Bickering Buds present their industrial coffee table and newly painted chairs, along with a few additional items they had time to create. The judges are impressed with their modern take on vintage pieces and appreciate the functional design of their coffee table.

After much deliberation, the judges announce the winner of the competition. While both teams impressed them, the Bickering Buds came out on top, with their industrial coffee table and painted chairs stealing the show. The DIY Daters may not have won this time, but they're excited to keep honing their skills and come back even stronger in the future.

Overall, this episode showcases the creativity and teamwork that goes into flipping flea market finds. It also highlights the importance of working with a partner who can push you to new heights, as the Bickering Buds were able to do despite their occasional arguments. Flea Market Flip season 7 episode 10 is a fun and inspiring watch for anyone interested in interior design and DIY projects.
