Ep 3. Rainy Day Flipping

In Flea Market Flip Season 9 Episode 3, titled "Rainy Day Flipping," two teams of skilled flippers are tasked with transforming old and worn-out items into modern decor masterpieces. The competitors are given a budget of $500 and are set loose in a massive flea market to scour for items that they can revamp.

First up is married couple Tina and Jason, who are no strangers to the flipping game. They specialize in transforming boring and outdated furniture pieces into unique home decor items that boast bold colors and patterns. The couple heads straight to the furniture section of the flea market, where they come across a set of wooden chairs with potential. They also decide to pick up a couple of metal buckets and a vintage oil canister.

Next, we meet teammates Catherine and Tay, who are equally passionate about flipping items. They pride themselves on making the most out of unexpected finds and turning them into statement pieces. They scour the flea market for items that would benefit from their touch, ultimately deciding on a distressed dresser, two vintage lamps, and an old wooden spool.

After they purchase their items, both teams head back to their respective workshops to begin the transformation process. Tina and Jason immediately get to work on sanding down the rough edges of their wooden chairs and set to painting the metal buckets vibrant shades of blue and orange to add a pop of color to the pieces. They also spend some time restoring the oil canister to its former glory by giving it a fresh coat of paint and some much-needed polishing.

Meanwhile, Catherine and Tay opt for a more modern aesthetic for their items. They add a fresh coat of white paint to the distressed dresser and update the look of the lamps by swapping out the old lampshades for more contemporary options. They also refinish the wooden spool to give it a glossy finish that will complement the other items in the room.

As they near the end of the competition, both teams have impressive pieces to show off. Tina and Jason's chairs are completely unrecognizable from their original state and now boast bold paint colors that will make them perfect statement pieces in any room. The buckets and oil canister have been given new life and would look great as plant holders or storage pieces.

Catherine and Tay's dresser has been elevated to a chic and modern piece that would fit seamlessly into any stylish bedroom. The lamps are now updated and contemporary and are sure to impress anyone who sees them. The wooden spool is now an impressive table that will be a perfect conversation starter at any gathering.

Both teams show off their transformed items to the judges, who have a tough time deciding on a winner. But in the end, only one team can come out on top. Who will it be? You'll have to tune in to find out in Flea Market Flip Season 9 Episode 3, "Rainy Day Flipping."
