I headed to the thrift store to upcycle some home decor items. Watch while I flip these thrift store finds to look like designer home decor DIY style. Watch as I create a chalky vase, gold decor bowl and custom textured artwork, all while staying within a budget.

The canvas was my favorite! I'm shocked at how much it resembles the $900 piece AND you had a blast doing it. Bravo!

[@marilynmccormick3731]

My least favorite is the canvas. My favorite is the gold bowl; I didn't know a black base made it look better--good to know. Thanks too for the Wagner spray tips.

[@johannbredendieck7568]

I will never understand, why people buy books for decoration. I read them and have such a lot of them, that i don't have enough storage. When did people stop reading books?

[@brendasidmore2731]

Exactly what I think when I see people using them for decor.

[@margodoyle8076]

I agree, however they are saving books that no one wants from the landfill

[@glendalab7567]

I read about four books a week, every week but I buy those books for the content. I have bought books for decor at thrift stores because the cover is the color I want to showcase and I don't read them.

[@kathyhoward9182]

I have lots of books as well some to read and some just because I love the covers…yes just for decor! lol the one she painted was a book on Urology and right next to it looked to be one of the same set on Gastric Surgery😂 Good reading right there

[@conniesisco6468]

I read a couple of books per week. I do t have enough storage in my home for all my books so I give them away to fellow book lovers when I’ve finished reading them.

[@brendakaiser3880]

I ❤ the Gold bowl... so glad you showed how to paint black first. Can not wait to try this.

[@Bonnie-ww7mr]

The golden bowl is beautiful. I have to say, you are pretty staunch with your aesthetic. The terra cotta color would have worked nicely . Take care Humboldt County USA 🌲🦸🤸🧚🤪

[@staciecampbell5078]

$900 for a white canvas smeared with gunk? DIYing it yourself was the right move. For me, blanking out a giant canvas would be a good start my own painting?

[@flippedbyabby]

The artwork actually turned out better than the $800 inspiration pic

[@Amy3nCAP]

You’re amazing! I love watching your videos. Everything was great, but yes, for sure the canvas was the queen ! I’m still holding onto my brand new, in the box 2-yr old paint sprayer that I’ve been to afraid to try LOL. This video was VERY helpful in overcoming the fear 💛

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Get that sprayer out! Starting with small item like this will help you build your confidence!

[@flippedbyabby]

Painting the books is BRILLIANT! Love this idea

[@K-Dawn]

Man, I hate that you didn't grab all 3 of those vases. I love the combination of colors, and I wouldn't have changed them 1 bit, but that's just me. Everyone has their own style. It seems now a days that it's all black, white, gray, or beige. That's too bland and boring for me.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

To each their own!

[@Restorations.by.Rachel]

So impressed by the canvas art that you did! Also loved the simple chalk paint vase as well.😍

[@tinekejoldersma]

That framed picture was so good. Girl, spraying books, oy. Librarians out there have a heart attack 🤣

[@christinewilliams7005]

The canvas is pretty cool and looks easy! I also liked the gold bowl.

[@donnafuller3029]

Too plain for me. I love color...all of these are a miss for me.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Easy switch. Just use colorful paint. You saw my house...it's minimalistic. So basic colors work for me.

[@muscarim]

Love the art!

[@joannenorris8102]

The art is number1 and the gold dish is a close second. Loved this video. Thank you so much!

[@runnr1971]

love this so much. Always inspired by you! thank you!! thrifting for a large canvas this week! P.S. What paint did color did you use on your wall in your dining room?

[@sandrinedhaene1123]

A bit boring white and black but that’s the trend! We have too busy life (or messy houses?). Just buy the right stuff. It won’t cost much more. Books without content just shows more emptiness of spirit. There are covers you can put if you want them to fit your color style. Cheap empty canvas to express your art style. That one is not art anymore but just putting texture on a wall. People get your creativity and soul into your space so that it shows who you are 😊 Thanks for showing your technique that is very useful for projects 🙏

[@andreasmith6031]

The canvas was beautiful. I have some old canvas pictures that I will redo now that I can see how amazing they turn out. Thank you xoxooxo

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Great video. I need to keep large canvases in mind. That was such a great idea.

[@jshaw8365]

Love the backdrop white wall for staging … can you share how you built that please ?

[@b.walker5955]

Gold vessel and that CANVAS! Total score! Thanks for the step by step on your process with your tools.

[@jamieomahen2656]

The chalk paint won’t chip off? Love them all but the painting is my fav.

[@karlabergwalker3332]

Wonderful thrift flips! I love the idea of painting black and finishing with gold building wax. Another great video! Thank you for the inspiration, Christina!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

It is one of my favorite techniques. It works magic on frames. 😊 Thanks for watching.

[@Wagner-Spraytech]

These flips look BEAUTIFUL in your home🎨✨🙌Spraying magic with your FLEXiO sprayer!

[@funny_anni9194]

The art piece is just stunning! Love it.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thank you! I can't believe how much I like it! ❤️

[@DougElliott-g1s]

So everyone has to do a a let go thrifting video now

[@reneejones2183]

The canvas is my favorite

[@laurelkish6207]

Campbells Urology😂😂😂

[@robininva]

Yes to the art!! Love watching all your videos, young lady! You’re kind and talented. 😊

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thank you so much!

[@cindylynch1133]

I absolutely love the canvas!! You’re quite talented, and make it look effortless! Very inspiring! Thank you!

[@ednaalegria8710]

Love your projects

[@candie1560]

I love how you use up paint from other projects in the sprayer, great idea!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thank you! 😊

[@nanjorgensen5524]

Great transformations!! The bowl caught my eye and I'd like to add an FYI. Your bowl looks like s Nambe' piece. Like much of Wilton Armetale, Nambe' pieces are made of an alloy of about 8 ingredients. What is wonderful about this alloy is the greatly extended retention time of heat or cold. The item can go into an oven or freezer and the retain heat ( or cold) they take on stays for hours in normal temperatures. I've served a hot chili/cream cheese dip in Nambe' at a party which stayed hot to warm for 5-6 hours. I've served chilled fruit on a platter as patio picnic food. The platter was cold long after the fruit was consumed. Just sponge wash and rinse - no scrubbing. Great stuff.

[@julielozano1852]

My new fave 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@margaretmurphy9795]

I've been making covers for my books -- now I am going to spray paint! Thanks for the great tip. I do add titles as I am just covering book cover colors that don't fit my color pallet. You could make up any title you want for your display.

[@judybesse4058]

I love love love the art piece.....great job!!!!!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thank you so much!

[@dtropepe]

Gold guilding wax is such a cool product! Love the outcome it gave ❤ And your canvas do over is gorgeous TFS

[@sorayabejar7108]

Always love all your flips, Christina. My favourite was the canvas too.

[@lizmatos1061]

All of them!!!!!

[@lindamarlow4663]

My fav was the DIY'd huge canvas. It turned out so well. Great job.

[@paigedesignswpg]

You’ve totally inspired me with the canvas!

[@natalieblackstock3337]

I love ALL of these items!!!! Just a great job you did!!!!

[@Tatum-w3i]

Love them all! I have that silver bowl. It was a wedding gift forever ago. Love what you did with it! Great idea

[@diysbydar]

Luv to watch you thrift, i really loved the gold bowl, was that dixie belle gold gilding wax? Your big picture frame was really awesome! Yes my mother in law was with us for almost 3 years, the last 3 month were really hard, i am a retired R.N., so we choose to bring her here. Great job on the flips!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Yes, it is the Dixie Belle gilding wax, but Rub and Buff would work here, too. I'm so sorry to hear about your MIL. My mom was a nurse and did the same this for both of her parents. I bet she felt so loved by you.

[@mariagonzalez6318]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@shannonmoore8533]

What a great video! Helped with ideas and using the sprayer

[@diannahartin8394]

❤

[@lorikegley3327]

[@Birdieheart]

I love the art as well, but the bowl was my favorite!

[@brenmanock]

I've done this art dupe 3 years ago and love it

[@newcastlesolarpower9309]

Your passion for your subject is contagious.

[@pamelasmith2545]

Favorite flip is the artwork for sure!

[@vickyb9918]

Very nice flips.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thanks!

[@stephaniekitchen4819]

Love the change to the canvas! So cool! 😊😊

[@skaus1793]

Great job! Love the art.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thank you! Me, too.

[@doreenforce3453]

LOVE all your Ryobi tools my friends are always making fun of all my Ryobi tools LOL

[@ChristinaMuscari]

I don't understand people who make fun of tools. Not all of us need professional grade tools. I love my Ryobi tools, too!

[@tz6309]

Definitely love the art and the gold bowl …thank you for sharing 😊

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thanks so much 😊

[@sallyradcliffe-hh6ud]

Loved the vase and art

[@trishasosnowski548]

The art is everything

[@florparra5114]

Definitely the art 😊

[@jeanohara6179]

The art is so great!

[@denisepadgett8430]

The canvas art!

[@RosemaryDixon-o5o]

Love the canvas

[@2006marsha]

Yes, my favorite was the art. You just gave me ideas. Thanks

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@rociofabbrini9678]

Sooo cool! 😎🤩

[@MsAure]

Nice!!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thanks!

[@janinemcmahon218]

Thought you were going to use the canvas for upholstery. Maybe in the future for dining room chairs, or an old Victorian large chair. Like a parlor chair, something not popular and make it interesting.

[@ruthbueneman541]

This. Strange trend to display books as decoritive objects feels strange to me. You dont want them for anything but as a fashion dark academia statement,? You are missing out on so much. People who love books keep them because of the information and history they contain. The books you have are friends and teachers. It would be simpler to put a sign up saying Yes judge these books by their decorative value for their contents do not matter but I want to look cool.

[@frankwhite3148]

Hell no😂

[@Toni_Snark]

The canvas looks great! No one needs to be an artist to do that- looks like fun!

[@biancabeyer789]

That bowl should have stayed black on the outside,gold on the inside. Look at Restoration Hardware bowls, you’re welcome!
