The dresser you found for $40 at a garage sale. The dining table you spotted on Facebook Marketplace, refinished on a Saturday afternoon, and now it’s where your favorite memories are made.
I’ve been decorating on a budget for as long as I can remember. My first college apartment had a headboard made from clearance fabric, a valance made from ornaments, and a $10 yard sale steamer trunk turned coffee table (that I still use today.) That season taught me something I’ve carried ever since: beauty is not about how much you spend. It’s about what you do with what you find.
Here, I share everything I’ve learned about finding great furniture, flipping it for a profit, and using that money to build a home that actually feels like yours.
I’m Lani, and I believe the most interesting homes are the ones with a story behind every piece.
Welcome to Sacred Spaces
Take the money you made flipping furniture and put it right back into your own space (and to purchase new items to flip). I’ll show you how I’ve decorated my entire home this way, room by room, without going out of pocket.
Fund Your Home
Simple, repeatable ways to clean up, update, and resell furniture for a profit. New hardware. Quick modifications. Easy fixes that triple, 5 times or even 10 times what you paid. I’ll walk you through my process.
Flip It
How to spot quality pieces on Facebook Marketplace, thrift stores, and yard sales. What to look for. What to avoid. How to negotiate. How to tell the difference between a steal and a money pit.
Find It
Here’s what I can help you with
I put together a free guide with the five things I wish someone had told me before my first Facebook Marketplace purchase. It covers how to spot scams, what questions to ask, how to negotiate without feeling awkward, and the one thing most people overlook that costs them every time.

Every week, I send my list a curated roundup of pieces I’ve found, staged and about to list. You get to see them before they go live. If you’re local, you get first pick. If you’re not, you get ideas and inspiration for what to look for in your own area.

You deserve for your house to feel like home and you don’t need a designer’s budget to live in a space you love. You just need to know where to look and what to do with what you find. That’s what I’m here to help with.
Every piece of furniture in my home has a story. Most of them started with a quick Marketplace browse or a 10 minute thrift store run.
