    This turned out beautifully! Because I saw the video you made a few months ago using Hampton Olive on a desk, I was inspired to use that same paint on my china cabinet. I have it proudly displayed in my dining room. Thank you for all you teach us😊

    What a great tutorial! I sold my first piece yesterday using Dixie Belle’s French Linen and gold gilding wax on the handles! The small dresser sold within two hours! I was so excited! I can’t wait to explore more products of Dixie Belle especially their transfers! Keep inspiring Christina!

    I have practiced on small things like wooden shelves, picture frames, small chairs just to get the feel of how everything works. I did a small cabinet with a whitewash top and chalk white for the rest of it. It wasn’t Dixie Belle, but it was expensive. Didn’t care for the coverage, it took three coats to cover the wood. I have a whole house full of out dated furniture, I’m excited to keep going! Thanks Christina!

    I love Dixie Belle products. I did my first furniture flip using Dixie Belle. I have seen pieces done with the all in one, but have not used it myself yet. You always do a great job on your furniture. You are a great teacher I especially like when things don’t always go as expected and how you problem solve.

    I painted some basic furniture many years ago, but definitely have lots of things now that I want to update. I’m dismayed to realize how much of our items aren’t real wood, so seeing how to prep particle board is super helpful. Great video! I’ve subscribed to both your channel and Dixie Belle’s, whose products I haven’t had the chance to try yet but whatnot soon. Thanks!

    This piece went from drab & dated to current & sophisticated. It’s amazing what a bit of creative vision & some paint can do. Thank you for the tutorial. Great tip not to go back to fix anything when the paint isn’t completely set yet. I’ve made that mistake & it’s much easier to fix with sand paper & repaint or touch up afterward.
