In season 7 episode 13 of Flea Market Flip, titled Hey Ma, Watch Me Flip!, two teams of talented designers hit the flea market to find the best pieces to refurbish and sell for a profit. Hosted by Lara Spencer, this competition reality show challenges each team to transform their finds into treasure, testing their creativity, business acumen, and DIY skills.
In this episode, the first team is a mother-daughter duo who call themselves the "Queens of Art Deco." They are determined to find items that they can give a new life to, while also showcasing their love for the retro style. They stumble upon an old vanity table and decide to refurbish it by giving it a fresh coat of paint and adding some Art Deco-inspired details. They also pick up a vintage trunk, which they plan to transform into a statement piece by painting it with bold geometric shapes.
The second team consists of two best friends who are passionate about vintage design. They are on the lookout for items that they can turn into unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. They come across an old wooden bed frame, which they think could make a great bench. They also find a set of antique luggage, which they plan to transform into a chic coffee table.
Once both teams have finished their designs, they head to a local flea market to sell them. They set up their booths and start displaying their transformed items. Customers wander through the market, inspecting each piece and negotiating prices with the teams. Each team's creativity and business acumen are put to the test as they aim to sell their pieces for the highest profit.
As the day comes to a close, the teams must report back to Lara Spencer to reveal their profits. The mother-daughter team's Art Deco vanity table and vintage trunk are a hit, totaling a profit of $500. The best friends' bench and coffee table also sell well, bringing in a total profit of $450.
But it's not just about money – the winner is determined by who has made the highest percentage profit. And the winners this time are...well, you'll have to watch to find out!
