Yes, please do a video of "before and after" projects you sold last year. I'm recently retired and I want to start a business flipping furniture. I have the perfect space in my garage for a workshop (I'm going to organize that first and your workshop is perfect, I'm going to use that for inspiration) and I love doing this kind of work. My favorite makeover was the armoire chest. I have one now that I need to makeover for an Airbnb room in my house that I'm starting this month. I also watch your video's to find out what's in style. Things change so fast!

[@diysbydar]

That was a great recap! You are a excellent flipper to watch, I have learned loads from your vids. Thank you for sharing with all of us.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@reeseharmon9453]

I can’t believe the black one didn’t sell right away! It was my favorite

[@jennibock1]

The armoire is gorgeous! Can't believe it didn't sell right away!!

[@outaboutwithmikedonna305]

Thank you so much for the vlog. I have subscribed and will be looking into all your vlogs. Really really enjoyed it.

[@valerieabramat9890]

I watched the flip where you made over your mom's bedroom set, and I just wanted to say the color is even more beautiful in person! I did a custom piece for a friend of mine recently, and she chose the Cape Currant as well, and I feel in love with the color! Gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing with us!!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

I'm so glad! Thanks for sharing.

[@donnasmall7254]

[@cliffhorman6846]

@Christina, the orange dresser with the not original feet would be a hit in Europe, I love it! Would by it like it is. Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹✌️

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thanks for watching Lidia

[@TotalBoat]

Amazing projects!! Absolutely love your epoxy marble technique too 😎😎💪💪

[@tammyhinojosa6624]

I loved the last desk you did in this video!!!

[@Cathy_MidwestHome_Hens]

Barkeeper’s friend would polish those french provincial handles up nicely. I just did that to mine

[@ChristinaMuscari]

You are so right. I’ve don’t that, too.

Huge projects! Love all your projects including the rust colored dresser.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thanks so much!

[@terrizimmerman5297]

Your mom’s furniture is stunning. I’d be showing it off to everyone too.

[@llshamp1424]

YES! Please do a video on what you painted and sold last year. How do you determine what price to sell your furniture at?

[@melvystroughn2145]

You are a great teacher i have a piece i want to do i will continue to use your things for inspiration. I'm new but you inspire me l😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@rachelleenya5994]

If you soak the rattan in bath tub & then install damp, it will dry nice & tight on the piece. 😊

[@albertamarie3051]

Love these I just repainted my table and chairs to . Wish that I had seen your video for some helpful tips . Thank you for sharing.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thanks for watching!

[@juliacarter1280]

The color you used is the exact color I got custom made at lowes. The were able to color match a table cloth I got. I absolutely love this green. It's going on my table and chairs and loving room table and end table since I have the open concept.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

I love green too!💚

[@hithere7282]

Loved the video. Your table was beautiful . I loved the marble look as well . Great jobs .

[@hollysgarage]

I love watching you work ❤the dowels on the rast makes it look so much more high end!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thank you! 😊

[@LivianaM]

I love it

[@Millasoaps]

You are so precise and clean with your work. I learned a lot from this. Gorgeous pieces. I’m not a furniture flipper, I’m just painting my 80s oak vanities right now. I used beyond paint on one of them and I loved the finish. Just don’t put painters tape on the paint! It peeled the paint right off. I was able to touch it up. I should’ve used 123 on it. For my other vanity I just used Home Depot’s cabinet paint with lots of prep. I needed a specific color, Behr Meteorological, because I love color. I’ve noticed lots of flippers are using greens. I’m loving blues right now. Anyway, I hope to do more projects in the future.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Love that! Thanks for sharing.

[@ginacrusco234]

That was so fun. I am fascinated by the custom color mixes you did. Have to try!

[@loismaddux4800]

My favorite was your mom’s bedroom furniture!!! Love it!!❤

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Yay! Thank you!

[@gailrhodes2859]

I would love to see a full video of your sales

[@kathydoran6176]

I loved this! Thank you❣

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@16icecream]

For cane you should try soaking it in water and then staple it. When it dries it’ll be tight.

[@theresadix5957]

I loved this recap. So informative thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. !

[@ChristinaMuscari]

You are so welcome!

[@janicesnapp2850]

My fav was the mid Century beat up night stands!!! Probably cause I do mostly pieces with some damage.

[@emilyjones912]

Great work! Please do make a video of what you sold last year. Please show the before and after of each piece, as well as what you sold it for compared to your out-of-pocket costs. Thanks for your show.

[@wandarivera4016]

I think you did a amazing job love it 😊❤

[@TwinkleBelle27]

You are sooo talented….such great vision! Hard to pick a favorite …. I think l would have to go with the Tarva makeover. Honestly l loved them all!

[@homethatilove4595]

I've recently found a local Dixie Belle retailer and am in Love with all the 🇺🇸 products and FUN names (Mama Butter & voodoo stain ...).

[@ChristinaMuscari]

That is awesome!

[@TheSharron47]

I would love to see those pictures.

[@jenniferpalmer5489]

yes please show what you sold. I really enjoyed all the pieces and just leaning about flipping pieces and how to do it.

[@cindybunker4918]

It was fun to watch this recap. 😊 My flips are focused on pieces for me and family. It is satisfying and I am happy you focused on what worked for you during 2022. I do have UFOs ..the pieces that linger and aren't quite "done" 🙄😏

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Yay! Thank you!

[@SomewhereInIndiana1816]

beautiful transformations!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thank you! 😊

[@traceyrice9359]

Andersonville, Tennessee here!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Also love to see TN in the building. :)

[@conniewojahn6445]

You are so talented! Good work all around.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thank you so much!

[@spk7816]

Nicely presented. Much appreciation here

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Much appreciated! ❤️

[@cSandra3d]

Thanks for making this. I saw some good ideas for furniture hacks.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Glad it was helpful!

[@cindywooldridge9032]

You are so inspiring. II'm starting a makeover tomorrow!!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Have fun!

[@salimorton641]

I personally am not into the black anything. BUT, I am into staining and painting old pieces and using them in my own home. Do you do Q/A?

[@grizelsalas1894]

New to your channel I have enjoyed it

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@HamudaKathy28]

Love your work! Please share how you are flipping and how much you are selling for, What's a good flip and profit?

[@ChristinaMuscari]

When you are starting out, I think $100-150 is a good profit when you are still learning. The more flips you get under your belt the more you can charge.

[@annesaroka9505]

Getting the cane wet first helps the application and when it dries…will shrink a little so will be taut

[@darondatoole7439]

Yes, I am interested in seeing your projects via mote videos. Thx!!

[@silviahernandez8949]

I paused your video to say THANK YOU for being realistic and not staging that beautiful ikea flip, that is real life! My 10yr old has all her Legos on top of her dresser and I'm totally OK with that, it's what makes a kids room!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

I know right? Thanks for the comment. 🤣

[@maryamroshanzamir6935]

❤❤

[@magdaortiz3615]

Muy funcional❤

[@michellebryson4027]

Hi Christina! I’ve just found your channel and love your instructions around the flips you’ve shown! One question, for pre-cleaning, you’ve mentioned Simple Green, White Lightening and TSP. Do you have certain situations that dictate which you use? A guy at Loews said only use TSP as a last resort b/c of its harshness. Can you share your thoughts? Thanks, Michelle!

[@sandiwillis3171]

I would love to refinish my 80s oak dresser and bedside chests but I am at a loss as to how to do this. They have lots of curved edges yet boxy and the drawer pulls are actually an oval cut out rather than hardware. I am not much into carpentry but adding paint, stains, adding legs and hardware are my skill set. I haven’t found anything out there showing makeovers on this kind of furniture. I would love ideas. Wish I could add photos. 🥴

[@jamiesharp3520]

Hi if you make a mistake and want to redo the top you can just apply the next coat without sanding provided the last coat hasn't completed hardened no need to sand.

[@01walkworthy]

Favorite: 🖐down- gentleman's chest makeover; close 2nd: urban nightstands. Could you link your black coveralls? Carhartt?

[@user-if6lh7il1v]

I've been watching your videos for months (and loving them!) - I'm trying to learn how to re-do some furniture I've inherited (and hoping to sell). I still have a lot to learn! Why did you use a roller on the first example vs spraying (I saw where you sprayed your master bedroom gentlemen's' chest black last year)

[@itpro4830]

45 secs into vid and I LOVE her. Personable, well spoken and very relatable.

[@fairysounds415]

The burnt orange is beautiful on that piece. Hope you don't replace it.

[@crobles13]

is there a difference from using the surfprep sander as opposed to using an orbital sander? i've seen lots of people using the surfprep sander and was wondering if i'm missing something.

[@laughingstar4688]

Can you provide the link for the gilding wax? Loving the french provincial!

[@racheljeffery4955]

So inlove with this project and been dreaming about making this ever since I first seen it! However, I can't justify spending all that money on the overlays!!! How can I recreate this ?? Also, I have the 8 cube shelf from big W (we don't have IKEA in my home town)

[@paulettemusicilike7061]

Want to know where u get the face mash❤❤

[@jamierasmussen776]

What brand and color is the gilding wax that you use?? Absolutely beautiful flips!!! 😍

[@ChristinaMuscari]

I use the Gold from Dixie Belle. dixiebellepaint.com/gilding-wax/?aff=166

[@dannyk9260]

I have a question about coverage: when using paints like the Lilly Moon Opulent, do you have to use more than one 16 oz jar on say, a dresser? I really want to try it, but I want to make sure I get enough for the project I'm working on. Thanks so much for making all these great videos! They really inspired my wife and me to start flipping furniture!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

If you are spraying, definitely get two. I hand painted a six drawer dresser with Lilly Moon and a 16 oz can was all I needed.

[@judytinker3392]

Hi Christina. I own a Ethan Allen solid Maple drop leaf table. It is at least 60 yrs old. It was my mother’s and in excellent condition ( not even a scratch). How much do you think it might be worth? I’m not looking to sell it I’m just curious. Your channel is inspiring. Thank you for sharing with us. Wood does absorb odor really bad.

[@danielleosentoski520]

I have two pieces I want to redo. One is an oak table and one is a pine island. Would you recommend the Dixie bell products for those? I need something easy peasy.. it sounds like the beyond paint is more for faux type surfaces? Thank you!

[@tawneyaldubais]

Do you have to thin the Beyond Paint for use in your spray gun?

[@ceecee6223]

I am trying to learn about refinishing furniture. Why would you use a brushes that leave brush strokes rather than a roller, particularly a sponge roller? Thanks.

[@gladysrivera7270]

Hello I love you amazing job. I need the name of the paint

[@patriciabarrow9761]

I know this question isn't related to this video. But can I ask where you got your new dining room !ight over the table? I absolutely love it and it is in line with my new style. Thanks in advance

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Of course...here is a link to everything in my dining room!www.amazon.com/shop/christinamuscari/list/1J7NS0OI1NGQ2?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ons_mixed_d

[@londastreeter7269]

I'm new to All In One paints. I'm currently using Fusion that I found locally. I'm painting a dark blue. I keep getting eithr roller or brush strokes no matter what I do. Is Dixie Belle easier to use? Or the Beyond Paint?

[@ChristinaMuscari]

I've only used Fusion a hand full of times, but I like paint I can thin out with water so that is why I go with Dixie Belle a lot. The water will help smooth out the finish. But the only true way to avoid brush strokes is to spray. Sanding in between coats helps as well.

[@danawatts3479]

Great Video. I'm new to this Game and really enjoyed listening to your expertise! Th Ankh Yah

[@superbfrenchies2465]

Where do you get your gold gilding wax?

[@marthaelliott8722]

I swear my parents have the same bedroom set (#7)!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

They probably do! Where and when did they buy it?

[@m.annaalleman1361]

What kind of sander are you using?

[@lyndaberman3942]

Maybe I missed it, but where did you get the caning?

[@genovevamancillaalcantara4209]

Por favor podría activar los comentarios. No entiendo el idioma inglés y me gustaría poder seguir sus vídeos. Gracias!.

[@donnatrobaugh1676]

Could I use dapp filler to make a raised stencil?

[@ChristinaMuscari]

I haven't, but I think a paste fiber would work better. Check out Kacha's channel. She does tons of raised stencils.
