OMG, this is so exciting! Thank you!

[@genna2586]

Love the results. The burlap mix is awesome.

[@genna2586]

This is such a creative way to stay with your farm house look and apply new dimension and bling. Thanks

[@staceysagendorf3661]

I Love the way the burlap “wash” turned out and how you repeated it on the feet! Beautifully done!

[@blacksheephouse]

That burlap looks so warm and neutral! Love the Avocado toast for inspiration 😂

[@lesleygray4442]

The sea spray texture creates such a neat dimension to bring out the paint colors. Beautiful!

[@marilynmagera3169]

I liked the idea of removing the back piece from the top. It gave the furniture piece a whole different look and truly did give it that modern farmhouse vibe when it was completed.

[@ccavalla1]

I love when you guys do collaborations. This will be so much fun.

[@DixieBellePaint]

What a wonderful transformation Christina!! We love what you did with your mystery box. Simply stunning!

[@artladybluntzer4112]

that sea-spray technique is something i've never seen before. gonna have to give it a try. God bless

[@anaanastasoglou9498]

The technique used here to create texture, together with the paint color and the natural wood color, makes this piece exquisite!

[@ksuvb5vb5]

"Holy guacamole". Funny how the hubs thought you were just saying that in excitement. Lol!

[@winedarksea9111]

The faux stain is really beautiful while being understated. Layering the paints then adding in the Sea Spray texture made for a "complex" simplicity, which I think many people try for but rarely achieve. Doing the knobs in the same faux stain was inspired and I think, that really pulled the look together. I'm glad you took off the top, curved piece, and kept the straight, classic lines. Really nice work--and thanks for all the tips!

[@thatoldaner]

I told Brandy I was excited to see my FB Besties come over and hang out with my YT Besties. haha This is going to be so much fun! And Mystery Boxes are my favorite!!!

[@kristinsiebert4504]

I love the Dixie mud, it appears to be easier to use than most fillers. Fun to see how the layers all came together. Even incorporating the “Holey Guacamole” was ingenious. Loved the finished piece.

[@jpeterso1000]

I loved seeing how you're able to make all of the repairs so that you can't even see they existed before. Your detailed explanations also help. Thank you!

[@BellaRenovare]

Sooooo pumped!!!!!

[@christinaromaine8356]

trying desperately to watch yours, but my little ones are giving me no breathing room !!!

[@tamaratrudeau3979]

I really love that cabinet shape & size. When I saw the paint colors you had to use, I was not so sure how this was going to turn out, but it is really gorgeous!! I never would've thought to dilute the Burlap to use for a wood stain. And mixing the Holy Guacamole & Burlap to create a less green undercoat is genius! I think this turned out magnificently.

[@jenniferdriscoll6157]

The Burlap is such a great, universal color. It was the perfect color to use as a faux stain to bring out the wood grain and create contrast. The collab videos are so fun.

[@kristenh6093]

Love how different your pieces were with basically the same items supplied.. really pretty

[@merryluzeller707]

It is amazing to watch these three videos creating unique pieces of art with the same products, and each ending stunningly beautiful, and one of a kind. Each of you remained true to your art, and shared great techniques to push our art further. Thank you. So fun!

[@cherylfrey8404]

Faux stain with watered down burlap was my favorite part of this furniture transformation. I need to watch again to follow all the techniques you introduced today. My fun new obsession-furniture painting!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@kricky777]

I love that you were able to stay true to your peaceful aesthetic even with all of those colors! Brilliant! Absolutely love the Gem Stone Mousse.....AND the hat!!

[@shannoncullen7061]

You 3 were perfect to do this Colab with the Mystery Box. You all having very different styles but your all super, super talented!! I've watched your video and Brandy's so far and was wondering how you both were going to work with all those colors and you both were amazing! I loved how Brandy did hers, and yours really turned out really nice also! I think the color and the way you did the stain on the top, legs, and knobs totally worked with the color you made and the technique you used! I don't think you could of done that any better! Now on to the third video and to another very talented lady that I'm sure won't disappoint! You 3 and a couple others are my favorites and love to watch you all and love what your finished pieces look like!! Thank you so much fpr sharing your knowledge, technique and talent!!

[@minalapointe1920]

The faux finish was amazing! I love the texture that Sea Spray provided.

[@larissaorjuela9743]

I definitely agree it was the right move to take off the curved wood piece. It breathes new life into it! I was nervous about the painted stain but was pleasantly surprised when I saw it all together! Thanks for all the inspiration!

[@dot2dal]

Just love it! Very cool use of the products. The wash looks great- oatmeal was my favourite product!

[@marilyndavy9183]

It’s amazing how much work goes into making something look old! It’s lovely 😊

[@aalex5710]

The Sea Spray gave this cabinet a wonder farm feel! Very pretty!

[@jerilynnsfarm467]

That Sea Spray texture is AMAZING!!!!

[@sharonwilliams9853]

I love how the top coat looks. I love the way it brought out the colors on the furniture.

[@ignitefurnishingsco]

I love the texture and subtle layers of color yet still staying true to a farmhouse look. Beautiful work!

[@beverlykelly2844]

I didn’t think I would like the texture layer, but after the close up of you painting the key hole I really saw what you were talking about with the colored layers coming through. Changed my mind

[@Indigowings2008]

The burlap was is amazing! Plus I love how the sea spray mixture adds so much texture!

[@xman333]

The Dixie Bell flat clear coat is really good. It gave the piece a natural finish look without looking too glossy. Great job love it 😊

[@ChristinaMuscari]

I totally agree!

[@nickolemesservy644]

The SeaSpray Texture is a game changer!!!

[@leeleeroq4607]

Considering so many intriguing, "🎉surprise!" colors, you made it look great and cohesive...so soft and pretty! Really liked that Dixie Mud- it looks like a lifesaver and it's cool that it comes in different colors!

[@ChristineDavidPhotography]

I love how you toned down the avocado and use a color you might not normally use. Although that yellow (not used) makes my heart sing!!

[@joannefalcus7868]

I love the faux stain you customised with the burlap , gives the piece a lovely farmhouse feel

[@stephaniestriggles7936]

I love this collaboration. Its so fun to watch you guys try to figure out which products you'll use.

[@eileenmurray5667]

Such a terrific surprise. I'm amazed how you used such varied colors to get such a cohesive look! And faux stain! Who knew!

[@cindyp2296]

I love how you created the faux stain on the top and then brought it in to the knobs and the feet also! Great job!

[@jennyjane04]

I like how you added the sea spray to the vernier damages to camouflage it. Clever!

[@mytouchrecraftedhomedecor3792]

I love the burlap wash for a stain! Amazing texture on the finished product!

[@dianealves8060]

Amazing! Love the layers and the sanding, but my favorite it the wash with Burlap! Love the way it acts like a stain!

[@vivalarehab7065]

I loved the faux finish on the wood. The burlap color was perfect for that!. I also loved the gel mousse application on the keyholes. Great job!

[@jessicaortega7328]

Absolutely amazing !! Removing the back piece made a huge difference 😁

[@aet1134]

Love the texture of this piece and the wash on the wood! Beautiful transformation! Thank you!!

[@judyhuss1903]

I absolutely love your creations. You outdid yourself with your Dixie Bell mystery box. Great job on your color mixing and adding the texture. I especially love the neutral top. That was the icing on the cake for this piece. I'm sure you did Dixie Bell proud!

[@RonyiQ]

I just loved this piece. It was great seeing the collaboration between my favorite Dixie Belle ladies.

[@echo1020lukka]

Love the way the clear coat adds the final touch.

[@salvagedcountrycharm-alici3216]

I absolutely love that you 3 all did this challenge. I've been following all of you for quite awhile. You girls are my favorites!

[@carmenlozada3662]

I love the fact you can mimic a stain by using faux paint. Great idea. I’m new to furniture painting and am excited to try these products especially caviar and holy guacamole.

[@marisamattfenimore6785]

I'm really interested in the Sea Spray, since I want to start exploring texture. Every time Christina says "yummy texture" I get inspired to break free from my IT'S NEVER SMOOTH ENOUGH mentality.

[@KC-ft4th]

Love that you brought an old piece back to life.

[@MiraBellaSalon]

You were the first video I ever saw when it came to furniture painting. You have been a huge guiding light. Thank you for all you do, I now know how much most of it entails.

[@amandahuffman2784]

I love the modern farmhouse piece! The stain idea is awesome and I love the texture you got from the Dixie Sea Spray! Dixie's Cotton Chalk Paint is an awesome farmhouse white color too. Great job!

[@sarahallen2989]

The burlap wash was my favorite! It added a little extra character to the piece.

[@molliegieseman1709]

There are so many times I want a color just slightly different than one of the standard colors. You reminded me that there are several sources to find a color mix. Loved watching all the layers go on. Them when you distress it is like opening presents as each color peeks through Thanks for this tutorial. HNY!

[@trishalittle6465]

I have been refinishing furniture for years. In the past few months I have been going to the Dixie Belle site filling my cart and then deleting it. I chose today to buy my first Dixie Belle paint today from a local retailer. I am beyond excited to get started. Thanks so much for the inspiration.

[@daneiprado438]

I love the way you use the burlap paint to create a faux stain. Beautiful piece!

[@amandaquella8046]

I want you to know how much I LOVE your channel and how much I admire you for freely and good-heartedly sharing so much knowledge and information for brand new beginners. I've seen several different channels dedicated to furniture makeovers but I always come back to yours to find the information I want or need. THANK YOU for sharing!!!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

So kind! Thank you so much for the encouragement.

[@janetsuddarth1641]

It's fantastic what the Dixie Mud can do for a damaged veneer. Thanks for taking us through the process.

[@dawnrood4885]

I love the salt texture and how it revealed the green! Really pretty!

[@jamiemoore6874]

I love how much depth you created. The piece is beautiful.

[@mandyhartman9321]

I really enjoyed watching how the layers came through on this. That burlap color is right up my alley for sure. Thanks for sharing!! And thank you Dixie Bell for the inspiration. :)

[@maryking3033]

Oh my goodness, how in the world do you guys come up with these gorgeous ideas. All these came out so wonderful. My mind is blown away as always. I love when you guys do these collaborations. It turned out beautifully .

[@sonyaippolito4913]

I love the Dixie Belle Sea Spray and the Holy Guacamole! You made the dresser beautiful, I love how you painted it.

[@tonireed9058]

This transformation is soooooo good!!!! The faux top is amazing!!! Well done.

[@melodyabbee5325]

I love just about everything you create! But boy, you had a real challenge on this one with the colors you were given! But, you always find unique ways to make it all beautiful!

[@newcitynewlife5856]

Your one of the first and most popular projects of redoing that nightstand is what sold me on furniture painting and I thought oh yes I can do it too. You, kacha and brandy are my favorites!!!

[@pokey8368]

Very interesting use of the colors. The 50/50 mix for the faux stain is a fantastic idea! Your piece is beautiful!

[@kendallamos9299]

I’m new to flipping furniture and I refuse to branch out beyond Dixie Belle paints at the moment. They work great!!! . Midnight Sky and Caviar are hands down my favorite. If I’m feeling spunky I’ll use Collard Greens ✨

[@Hkendi333]

I love how different all 3 of you used the mystery box! so incredibly fun to watch. #inspiration!!!

[@amandaschumacher3212]

I love the way the Sea Spray added texture! Very well done!

[@brittanydrake9324]

I really like how you used the burlap color for a stain! Love that color finish

[@catherines1385]

I like what you did with the faux stain on this piece. It surprised me that there was such a difference from where you started as it looked like there wouldn’t be.

[@lynnarand2792]

I love how you layered the products and achieved an old world look and feel on that cool dresser😍 my fav product is the wash that easily adds texture. I need to incorporate for myself!

[@aliciamoffett6647]

Dixie Mud and the Amber Mousse are my faves!! Beautiful transformation!

[@julieharris8796]

I would have lost sleep over those color options too. But you made it work beautifully. Countless people would love to have that dresser in their homes - including me!

[@Thatsinteresting363]

I was so sceptical right up until the glamour shot then, WOW! I want that in my farmhouse kitchen!! You nailed it!!,

[@caraghreed9779]

Very inspiring way to bring new life to old furniture! I looove those Dixie Bell colors!

[@ginanardozzi4426]

So talented!! I absolutely LOVE Dixie Bell products! The Sea Spray is a fantastic product! Gives your pieces such a vintage old feel! Chalk painting has helped me get through so many hard times in my life and I am so thankful for products like Dixie Bell!

[@emilyhigley9302]

That sea spray made an awesome effect. It was so interesting to see the different pieces you each came up with using similar paint colors. Great job!

[@annkinney2043]

I love the feel of your piece. Casual yet so finished.

[@christywallace877]

I love the cotton since I’m more into white painted furniture. I love how you did the stain look to the top of the furniture and the feet. It turned out beautiful!

[@kaitlinmcdonald8410]

wow! such a great contest! I love burlap!!! and love how your husband realized "Holy Guacamole" was the name of the paint haha. So cute! Loved the wash!

[@cbla6460]

I love Seaspray. The layers we can create using it are amazing.

[@ruthrucker5272]

I love the burlap.....I never considered using it as a wash!!! It looks great!

[@judymorrison4638]

The piece looks great. I especially liked how you managed to use the paint and make the top look stained. I always enjoy your videos and what I learn from them. Thank you.

[@lynwong4740]

You did a great job with the SEA SPRAY👏🏽. Love the outcome and the colors.

[@karenstein6992]

Beautiful job! I liked seeing how all of the layers came together with the distressing and then the top cost. I’ve never used the sea spray, will have to give it a try! Thanks for such a great instructional video!!

[@pamelasmith2545]

I love the flat clear coat and the burlap paint. Actually, I loved them all! You knocked it out of the park!

[@shannonhinkle1339]

I love the color that the "holy guac" and "burlap" makes!!!! Can't wait to try it!

[@tabathaemert9097]

Love how it turned out. Love that gold on the keyhole and how pigmented that pair was. I can't really pick a favorite product as they all look like fantastic products. Oh and I love the faux stain and how soft and warm the color was.

[@terrismith6870]

My first collaboration and I loved watching! SO many great techniques. Can’t wait to try the “natural stain” look. I am a big fan of natural woods.

[@jeffsaber8648]

This might be crazy but having that quality cleaner is great! Thats where the project starts!

[@cobaltbluecabincbcbysherri8488]

Your farmhouse vibe is spot on! Avocado toast never looked so appealing! Good job!!💙

[@iant8701]

I love how it looks modern but rustic and farmhouse 👍👍👍 fav part is house you create a faux stain. Great job 😉😉😉

[@aarondipa]

I hope this competition is for your subscribers all over the world! A mystery box challenge... woo! I absolutely love the gemstone mousse! I bought both Golden Gem and Amber as soon as they were released!

[@ohyeahoops]

Gemstone Mousse looks amazing. Gorgeous transformation!

[@calebschatz7502]

Love the sea spray texture additive! Such a cool touch to give the piece some added character and charm.
