Love that you were able to save this piece. I'm a fan of the Dried Sage, but your vision of a lighter color was spot on! Love it!

[@KimoCraft]

I love resuing things to give them a new life! Like sage too

[@avigil9961]

As an educator, I must say that your pace was clear and concise. I enjoyed how you explained each step without too much detail, keeping my attention eagerly, ( even through the ads) all the way to the end. I appreciate your honesty and how you shared your discoveries and even referenced other video sources. And that pop of red lips at the end made me say 'WOW!' out loud waking up my little one early. Thank you Ms. Muscari. I am inspired.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Wow- thank you for the feedback!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

All the items used in this video are linked in the description box.

[@donnakkasper6634]

You’re near me. I thought I recognized you. Not sure from where but I know your face. This little piece is really pretty. I’ve just begun with Dixie Belle and did a piece last week in Dropcloth.

[@kristibrooks967]

Not only is your furniture gorgeous but your name is one of the first beautiful flowers of spring! Muscari 💜

[@amurphyvelez]

I just became aware of Dixie Paint and doing my first ever renovation on an old antique buffet table! I will be watching your videos👏👏👏

[@stacym6027]

Same here! Using Dixie Belle for my first project....a vanity table

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Awesome!

[@barbaraherrera3984]

I did watch til the end and I’m really impressed... the color Sea glass turned out great 👍. Plus the drawer hardware completed the look.

[@kathygranholm7064]

Just beautiful! I’m loving working with Dixie Belle. The absolutely the best paint I’ve used so far! Just finished a bedroom set! Feels like a brand new room!

[@suescott4418]

Beautiful and the drawer pulls made it adorable

[@jeffreybelanger3723]

Well Done! Amazing transformation, you took what was basically a pile of firewood and gave it a whole new life!

[@dmotta2811]

See, you have vision. If I saw that old dresser, I would have never thought you could have turned it into that. It’s so pretty.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thank you.

[@KimoCraft]

The wonders of chalk paint and a great designer!

[@cherinelson3436]

All I I can say is......really good job! I had my doubts on this one. You pulled it out. Very nice Christina. Very nice !

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thank you, Cheri. I had some major doubts at times, too.😂

[@isabelordonez369]

Just beautiful, thank you for your contribution to humanity by updating furniture!! Is easy to avoid pollution. Blessings

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thanks, Isabel!

[@Saved_By_The_Blood_]

You’re a total stud. I’ve learned so much from your videos. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@LindaWhaleyKnitStudio]

You've inspired me to find and rescue an old chest of drawers. Love this!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Go for it!

[@kellyevans8321]

Definitely using Big Mamas Butta on my black chalk paint project. Loved the appeal of that orange fragrance, and the need a stronger protection on the shelving Im painting. Plus, I’m totally going to treat the insides of all over my cherry bedroom furniture to bring back the luster of the wood and improve the wood. Plus... natural room freshener! 🙌🏻

[@jayc344]

Love the "Rosie the Riveter" look you got going on 🥰! Have been eagerly awaiting the follow up on this piece. The coverage with the first coat of DB paint is seriously like no other! That color is so soothing and pretty.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thanks, Rosie is my girl! The coverage is really great, and I find it easier to get a smoother look with this paint if that is what you are going for.

[@jayc344]

@@ChristinaMuscari Completely agree. I love the look of texture but have a serious issue with the "feel" of it 🤣, I know I know such an oxymoron 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️!

[@hazelldowdell8541]

Love it, love it, love it! I love how it got new life and continue to serve it's purpose.

[@tammyjohnson7401]

Really love the stain for top also. Something different. The products seemed to be easy to use. Good luck with sale .

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thank you. They have a beautiful gray I want to try out as well.

[@beverlynelson599]

Love the beautiful seagrass color! My fav!

[@winsomelorainepeter6773]

Excellent work Christina! What an awesome transformation of the old dresser! You did a brilliant job! Well done! It looks absolutely beautiful.

[@KimoCraft]

I love reusing things to give them a new chance at life!

[@KG-vn4tf]

I absolutely love this piece!! The colors you chose compliment each other beautifully. Thanks for sharing this project!

[@thediymommy]

This is a gorgeous makeover! 😍

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thank you, Christina!

[@soozalongtheway]

You always make everything look beautiful!! I love Dixie Belle products 😊

[@noOona]

Wow very beautiful😍 النتيجة خيال👍

[@debbiemelton4426]

I loved the colors you chose and the knobs set it off!

[@susanjohnson3973]

Love the Sea glass color, as well as the top's stain - beautifully easy on the eyes, calming to live with:). Exquisite work, gorgeous finish! Thanks so much for showing us:).

[@claudiawagner1509]

Love the colors

[@catcar8212]

Hi Christina, your piece came out perfect! As I watched you remove the veneer it reminded me of my grandmother’s mahogany sideboard and how badly it had aged. It’s amazing what you find underneath! Your ability to envision the final look while selecting all the finishes is spot on. When you showed the hardware I almost cried, you picked what was originally on Grandma’s piece! Looks pretty snazzy in your kitchen!!! Just saying, lol ~Hi from Connecticut =^..^=

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Oh thank you!

[@emmasurf8768]

My favorite was the sea glass dresser. I appreciated how to switched colors midstream to get the right effect. I wasn't familiar with Dixie Belle til I relocated where that's the only brand in the shops. It was helpful to see the different top coats especially one being able to waterproof without it looking too glossy.

[@afolsom685]

Love the colour!

[@jacquelingracias7772]

So beautiful and details ❤️❤️❤️

[@melissajane812]

That was fascinating to watch. Thanks for being so detailed about how and why you things the way you do. I'm so glad you decided on the sea glass color. It came out beautiful!

[@KimoCraft]

I love resuing things to give them a new chance at life! love the sea glass color

[@donnatrobaugh1676]

LOVE the sea glass! What a beautiful make over!

[@kellywentling4549]

What a beautiful makeover! Loved watching you paint with 2 colors, haven’t seen that before. I ❤️ this look!!! Great to hear about new products and I’m so ready to order from Dixie Belle!

[@ginadb495]

I just purchased a piece similar to yours and was not sure of what color to use. I love the light colors. Thank you for showing the technique from beginning to end. I am new to refurbishing and this video helped tremendously! Loved your finished project. Well, here I go, just going to dive right in. Hope my piece turns out as beautiful as yours! 🙂

[@joanmanzella8740]

This project turned out so nice. I have not tried Dixie Belle products but will now. I can hardly wait to go see all of the products that Dixie Belle has! I love Annie Sloan products! That is what I also learned to paint furniture with. I have used some of the Waverley paints because cannot always get Annie Sloan where I live. You do such great videos! Keep them coming.

[@lucyterrier7905]

Lovd your tutorials & your hair & make up

[@leahben1897]

The sea glass color came out beautiful. Love the dresser, very beachy.. I love how you walk us through every detail of your process and share every tip you have to make sure others get the most out of their future projects. Thank you., It must take so long to put the video together! Filming is very well done...a pleasure to watch.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thank, Leah!

[@patriciacoulombe7690]

De toute beauté ! Un compliment venant du Québec ! Quel talent 😍

[@sunshinewoodworking1734]

That steel wool tip is everything! Thanks!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

You are so welcome!

[@loismaddux4800]

Gorgeous!! Great job!!

[@annenelson5165]

Gorgeous! ❤️

[@bonniekornfeld6662]

Super cute!

[@barbgalligan4885]

So pretty!

[@fizzin2survive]

The more I work with chalk paint, the more I want to try my hand at redoing furniture! I currently do small crafts and use chalk paint to paint with, and I LOVE IT!!! I'll have to start small and work my way up.. =) Thanks for this awesome tutorial! I learned a lot!

[@kristineobrien8878]

Thank you for this video. You showed and explained many of these products extremely well. I’ve tried some of them. I REALLY love the Dixie Belle silk paint;)❤️ The dresser turned out stunning;)!

[@NEILZEE11]

I’m so happy you saved that sweet little dresser and gave it a new life. Quite a bit of work you did, but I love the color and you did a great job. Someone gave me a very old vanity that was actually saved from a house fire, and the laminate is peeling off. I was afraid I would ruin it by removing the rest of it, but now that I saw it could be done, I might give it a try. Thanks...

[@incendi4ry]

I have always been low-key obsessed with restoring furniture ever since high school; our final project in art class was to restore a wooden chair from a thrift store. It was really fun to do because my mom taught me this Elmer's glue technique for crackling paint. I made the seat cover with new foam and fabric. It turned out very shabby chic - and even though I'm an emo kid at heart, I really love the girly shabby chic style. We auctioned off our finished chairs and donated the money to a local charity. It definitely instilled a restoration bug. I have a dresser in my bedroom that has been waiting oh-so patiently!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Awesome- thanks for the support!

[@bethwishitwereviolet5938]

This is gorgeous.

[@thekraftycreech]

this color is fabulous!!!

[@valerie624]

This turned out so beautifully! I love the top especially. You look so pretty in your intro, very 1940s. Love it!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thanks, Valerie! ❤️ The top is my fav.

[@lindagardener855]

Love the colour. Turned out fantastic👍

[@ashleywright8686]

If you apply a hot clothes iron and place over the damp towel, veneer comes off like butter. Butter, I tell you! 😁👍🏻

[@sharamyers9686]

Ashley Wright I used a similar technique to get old, old Linoleum up from my hardwood floor. Except, I used waxed paper instead..

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Have you watched my video on it? It does work! The best technique for this piece was the damp towel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6XXiaRpjp2ffZY

[@ashleywright8686]

Shara Myers interesting! Thanks for the tip!🌼

[@heatherstacks8275]

It is the trick for sure!!

[@susanhayes8422]

Looks great and thanks for providing the info on how to do the distressed project.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

You are so welcome!

[@Angel-rv1mt]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@pennyhanson2598]

Hi, Christina! Thank you for showing us the different products, it’s really useful to have the information before spending a lot of money. Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧😊

[@sagg9209]

This is the prettiest piece of furniture ,nice job😍😍

[@joanmanzella8740]

I saw this in 10 trash to treasures. This piece is amazing! I love it that you made it into such a beautiful piece! You do such awesome projects! Please keep the project ideas coming!

[@salimorton641]

I love this! 5 stars!😊

[@bback4078]

The dresser turned out so pretty!

[@Spinning-wvr]

So cute and beachy. Totally my style

[@vickeypierce293]

Gorgeous!! I have been wanting to do this to my side tables in my bedroom...you made me have the courage to finally do it!!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Go for it!

[@michelleschultz6499]

[@r.c.miller6161]

Great video. Super informative. Dixie Belle products are top notch.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thanks, Rena. I'm a fan of Dixie Belle.

[@splendidmusings]

I love this! I've been wanting to repaint my dresser in my office and now I am even more motivated to do it. 😄

[@lmr45241]

This is an amazing makeover! I have a similar dresser that is painted white and I was thinking of painting it white, but I think I will jump in and use the Seaglass that I bought because "it's so pretty" ... but didn't have a project for it ... yet.

[@Amille06]

I think this is beautiful. Great job.

[@jenniferyeager3596]

Beautiful job - LOVE that color!

[@amyseidlinger5120]

LOVE THIS!!!

[@confuinc92704]

Beautiful.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thank you!

[@henriettahenson]

Enjoyed watching this... I have many pieces in my house and a couple of chests of drawers have old reclaimed floors boards as the top they look great... 👌I also quite like different mixes of knobs makes it look qiirky 🌈

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thanks!

[@patriciatorres190]

Omg I need that T-shirt ❤

[@mihriomar5158]

That's so beautiful

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thank you!

[@kimberlygries6517]

that turned out phenomenal! So nice and sleek!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@deborasmith5191]

I loved the makeover you did. It is amazing!

[@jennethutchinson5978]

I like your job so much never tired to watch you !

[@rosevicente8621]

Love this and one of my favorite colors (My Cancer Color My husband just recently made me a table for my heat press very similar in color. Great explanation of how you were doing it. Would love to re-do all our bedroom furniture this color however not so sure he's into it as much as I am. However this girl is not about to give up maybe we can do a mix and match. Y'all be well and stay safe.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thanks for sharing!

[@hxrses_4ever940]

Gorgeous table luv the white coulor very nice

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thanks so much 😊

[@sassysandie2865]

Great instruction! Anxious to try this on an old antique dresser.

[@jenniferprell2873]

This was my inspiration for my first piece thank you so much I have learned so much from you I even have my husband watching your videos 🙏🏻😍

[@lydiakinnaman1106]

Love it.

[@PATangoS_]

I agree that was a nice piece to save. And good paint brushes don't shed. Purdy brushes are worth the couple of bucks extra.

[@Hope-Ann]

I know this is an older video, but I absolutely love this look. I am coastal cottage in my personal design preference. So I tend to gravitate to the sea glass and whitewash color combos. I need to watch the veneer removal video. I have come across several pieces that I passed on because of peeling veneer

[@danibryant9318]

Turned out really cute, love the color choices you made

[@hannahm4078]

Peeling veneer is so satisfying. I remember when I was 6 or 7 I had an old dresser in my room that I wanted to paint and I spent hours in my room with a butter knife peeling veneer of off it 😂😂

[@dgdesignsbydenilka5954]

Yes, I just want to drink coffee and paint!!! 🧑🏻‍🎨

[@hopejhughes375]

Very lovely ❤❤❤

[@aracelimartinez9956]

Love it! My favorite colors

[@maryhappy33]

In love with your videos and tutorials very well explained.

Love this!! Never thought about using Gator Hide to attach gold leaf. Thank you for the idea.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thank you. That was Kacha who did the gold leaf. One of my videos must have played after you watched her. ❤️

[@elisevautour6292]

Stunning. 🥰
