Flea Market Flip Season 11 Episode 7 Lara Gets Flipping!

Lara Gets Flipping! is the seventh episode of the eleventh season of Flea Market Flip. The show follows two teams of skilled designers and renovators as they compete against each other to see who can buy, fix up, and sell items from a flea market for the most profit. In this episode, host Lara Spencer introduces the teams to their challenge: find items at the Stormville Airport Antique Show and Flea Market in Stormville, New York, and transform them into stylish pieces that can fetch a high price at a pop-up shop.

The first team consists of friends and business partners Tara and Christina, who specialize in repurposing and upcycling vintage furniture. They start off strong by finding a vintage cabinet with ornate details and intricate glass panels, which they plan to turn into a chic bar cart. However, they struggle to find other items to complement their main piece, and time is running out. They eventually settle on a set of mismatched chairs and a vintage lamp, which they hope will tie the look together.

The second team is made up of married couple Kari and Tony, who describe themselves as "mid-century modern enthusiasts." They are immediately drawn to a vintage record player and speakers, which they envision as the centerpiece of a stylish living room. They also pick up a geometric-print chair and a funky pendant lamp, which they plan to modernize with a fresh coat of paint.

As the teams get to work in their workshops, they encounter various challenges and setbacks. Tara and Christina struggle to remove the glass panels from their cabinet, and end up shattering one of them. They also have trouble reupholstering their chairs, which require a lot of sanding and refinishing. Kari and Tony, on the other hand, discover that their record player doesn't actually work, and have to come up with a creative solution to still make it a desirable piece.

In between work sessions, Lara checks in on the teams and offers tips and advice. She encourages them to take risks and stay true to their personal styles, while also keeping in mind the potential buyers who will be shopping at their pop-up shop.

Finally, it's time for the big reveal at the pop-up shop. Tara and Christina's bar cart looks stunning, with the vintage cabinet transformed into a sleek black-and-gold piece with added storage and a removable wine rack. Their chairs have been given a modern update with geometric fabric, and their vintage lamp now has a chic drum shade. Kari and Tony's living room display is equally impressive, with the record player serving as a retro focal point. Their chair has been painted a bold turquoise color, and their lamp now features a trendy Edison bulb.

As the potential buyers browse the pop-up shop, the teams anxiously await the final results. Lara reveals that Tara and Christina's pieces sold for a total of $1,355, while Kari and Tony's pieces sold for $1,435. Although both teams did an impressive job, Kari and Tony are declared the winners and take home the coveted flea market flip trophy.

Lara Gets Flipping! is a fun and engaging episode of Flea Market Flip that showcases the creativity and resourcefulness of the contestants. It's also a great reminder of the beauty and value that can be found in vintage and secondhand items, and how a little creativity and elbow grease can turn them into something truly special.
