A full-time furniture flipper has told how spends as little as £10 upcycling strangers’ unwanted junk - and has made over £100K by re-selling them.

Lottie Naylor, 24, learned her trade at age 13 when she “started painting furniture for herself” and making money.

And over the last six months, people have sought her out on social media, asking for “tips and tricks” on how she nabs deals online - and other freebies on Facebook Marketplace.

By “repairing and polishing” the items, she then sells them as “decorative vintage homeware pieces”, pricing them from £100 to £350 each.
