Lovely seeing you working together

[@heatherfraley8398]

I love your mom and I loved watching you together. I think your Mom did a fantastic job and absolutely had a great teacher/mentor. Great job. It is a beautiful piece.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thank you, Heather. We had so much fun making it, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@michellecatrambone9175]

Absolutely loved this video with your mom. You are the first furniture refinisher I have starting watching about 6 months ago and have learned so much. Thank you !!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thank you, Michelle! I appreciate you following along. Are you painting yet!?

[@thatoldaner]

Enjoyed watching your Mom bling up her dresser. I was rooting for her to keep going and guild the insets of the drawers too! Beautiful job Mom!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thank you so much!

[@yvonnerobertson1179]

Love you your Mom. I'm a blingy person a look so but a be little goes a long way. Love the dresser. Thank you for sharing.v

[@shandelebroyles1099]

Great job!! And a beautiful piece!!💜🐾

[@gloriawarren7208]

Absolutely gorgeous

[@LegacyHomeShowwithJennyMac]

What a beautiful little touch it gives the furniture piece! :)

[@ChristinaMuscari]

I couldn't agree more. Thanks for watching.

[@Teachingmommy-jr4cg]

So pretty!

[@genna2586]

Such a great accent that makes the piece shine! Fun to work with your mom!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

😊 thank you

[@HomechoolbythePond]

I love how this came out! So pretty!!! I have a bookcase I'm working on I might have to try this on!! Your mom did a great job painting that!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thank you. She did awesome! And what I didn't show you is that there are two nightstands she did, too. Send me pics of your bookcase if you do it. I'd love to see.

[@juliefeathers]

I’m a blingy person so I would of even waxed on the indentations on the drawers and on the edges . Great job to your mom !!! She’ll be addicted now for sure !!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

She wanted to for sure. 😂 I took it away from her or she would have covered her whole house. Just kidding. She might add more after she lives with it for a couple of weeks. We didn't want to over do it.

[@JoeyJr702]

Nice work!

[@kimberlydrake8463]

I bet the circles would look great with a little wax in those too....bling bling🌟🌟

[@ChristinaMuscari]

My mom wanted to do those, too!

[@desrieebeckford6075]

Looks nice, I would have put some in the grooves on the draws for a more enhanced bling appearance. I’m a bling person as well and thanks for sharing your video. I enjoyed watching the process.

[@Pineapple-ob2kb]

Love it Beautiful

[@philipatoz]

I like your channel and have subscribed. I'm super excited to discover gilding wax - especially for using on hardware. Question: I'm discovering that some surfaces are to slick and the product doesn't want to adhere well - any thoughts - should I lightly sand first? I've discovered this issue on certain metal objects, but I'm thinking anything top-coated with poly or whatever would have the same problem? Strategy?

[@janetwalker3541]

Kasha does this all the time on her videos and I just love it. She puts more on it than you do to start. I love more! You can wipe it off later if you think it's too much! 😀

[@ChristinaMuscari]

I'm trying to learn from Kacha, too! She is awesome. My mom wants the jar back so she can do more. 😂

[@janetwalker3541]

@@ChristinaMuscari lol! And good for your mom! 😁

[@andreamarie3306]

Hi! Thank you for this video! Im a newbie ! I am in the process of painting my dresser and would like to use the golding wax on the dresser. . Do I varnish first and then add the hilding wax?

[@roxy4158]

Please reply I'm in the middle of a huge project. My first project was painting my entire dining room furniture!!!! Painted everything white and topping with metellic white pearl. Fabulous!!! NOW DO I ACCENT WITH GILDING GOLD OR SILVER???? THANK YOU FROM CANADA

[@kelleybroomfield7250]

I have mirrored accent table trimmed in wood, do I need to prime the wood before applying the wax?

[@jenrichele]

Do you put a clear coat before or after the gilding wax?

[@trinadorner2037]

Is gilding wax durable? Just starting out. Handles get touches often and was wondering how it holds up.

[@kelleyblair7170]

What is name of what your mom used to cover the cherry so it doesn't bleed?

[@kimberlydrake8463]

Hi Christina! Just watched Kache Fri 11/15 and said on there I follow you too....recently new subscriber to you!....looking forward to catching up on some of your videos! Thanks for sharing😊🌟

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Thanks Kimberly! Kacha is amazing!

[@MakeItSo1111]

I love this video! I love that you shared the joy with your Mother! I miss my Mom so so so much! Is there a way that I can submit photos to you to get your opinion on how to use gilding wax and/or how to finish some wood trim on a piece of furniture that I am chalk painting?

[@ChristinaMuscari]

[e-mail] or DM me on Instagram.

[@dtropepe]

I really like the subtle gold effect on this beautiful shade of grey. Was this piece stripped before the chalk paint was applied? it looks perfect! TFS your talents

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Nope. Painted right on top of the existing finish.

[@tammyjohnson7401]

That is just what I need for my armoir that I repainted could I use that over the wax I already put on it? Glad you included your mom. 🤗

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Yes, you put it on over clear wax.

[@tammyjohnson7401]

@@ChristinaMuscari Thanks .

[@cindystiff3911]

Would you use gilding wax on metal that’s rusted? I have an MCM two tier side table with metal feet that and they are a bit rusty. I am wondering if gilding wax alone would work or if I would need to do more prep. Thanks!

[@cindystiff3911]

This dresser is so cool btw love the colors

[@itsallaboutlight]

What happened to the top that your mom didn't like and what did she do differently, after she removed it, that made her pleased with the results?

[@ChristinaMuscari]

She used a paint roller and liked those results better. She also shellacked the tip before she painted because she had some bleed through.

[@DarkerSideOfDawn]

I want to do this with glitter for my granddaughter

[@ChristinaMuscari]

Oh, I bet she would love that.

[@eileenperez4282]

Why not take the handle off first? It’s a very pretty piece.

[@ChristinaMuscari]

They are carved wooden. That is why she painted them.

[@eileenperez4282]

Christina Muscari I understand the beauty of the gilding and you did a beautiful job without getting any on the dresser itself. My question was that I wondered if the handles could’ve been removed before applying the gilding. I didn’t mean it as criticism. Just a question if the handles were a part of the front or separate.
