FlipBird Studios

The Studio

We don’t chase trends — we restore what was built to last.

FlipBird Studios started in our Lafayette garage with one free vintage dresser, and started us on a journey of discovery. After we brought it back to life, we were so thrilled to see it head off to its new forever home, and we were hooked.

We find our pieces on Facebook Marketplace, estate sales, and through word of mouth. When we deliver our furniture, we’re often offered the old furniture. If it doesn’t meet our criteria, we have a local refugee charity we donate to. Every piece that comes through the studio is solid wood, real joinery, built by hands that cared. Our job is simply to give it a second life — designed with intention, finished with care.
