I'm back with another IKEA hack with the IKEA Rast dresser. I'm duping my favorite Arhaus line, the Finley, by fluting the entire dresser and even making a DIY epoxy marble countertop with the Total Boat White Marble Countertop Kit. This one was a lot of fun!

I appreciate the coupons. I’m seriously interested in making money by flipping furniture however 🤦🏼♀️ I’ve not actually done any pieces yet so I don’t have a clue what I’m doing 😬 but I’m optimistic and I suppose things like this if you mess up you can correct it ….right 🤞 I feel so blessed your willing to share your talent tho. I’m gonna start with redoing a personal item of me to see if I can do this.
For the epoxy, you can add painter s tape all around perimeter, like a swimming pool. You do the pouring and all the marbles effect, when it start to become more thick you remove the tape and it will drop evenly and thick on the side with the design. Leggari products and stone coat countertops do this on YT. Nice project btw, look a million buck just like you do
Thanks for the tips! I still have lots to learn, but I'm glad I didn't let fear stop me.
@@ChristinaMuscari I am sure my marbeling effect would be terrible compare to your work! I just watched way too much epoxy videos on YT.
I love the slats that really change the look, from boring to high end.
Keep your amazing work and smile thats always nice to see a new vid from your channel.
Thank you for explaining how to cure the problem with the sides....the more you know the better you do....
@ChristinaMuscari thank you for sharing I always loved this look and couldn't really afford it....tha effect would probably make nice mirror frame too or accent wall treatment alot of work but it would look amazing
You nailed it! Awesome marbling technique - this entire build turned out beautifully!
Loved working with your Marble Kit! Can't wait to try more. ❤️
I been wanting to do an epoxy countertop, it was helpful to hear your tips. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
This was truly a pleasure to watch from start to finish. So many things in this one video that are on my list to try and I was hanging on every minute! ❤
This was fun to watch and great advice here on trying new techniques. Pretty awesome for your first go at it!
Fluting was beautifully done. Epoxy top, you did great for the first time. Your venturesome drive is very inspirational. Thank you
✨THANK YOU CHRISTINA!! I just bought clear epoxy for my nightstands with no clue what to do….. you inspired me!🤓
Absolutely love it!!’ 😍
This is great Christina! Love the look and details. And I love how you kept it real :)
Great job!! Totally achieved the look of the inspiration piece. 👍😊
Thank you for taking us along on this learning journey with you! I love how the dresser turned out 💖
Thanks for watching!
I just love this! It's something I have wanted to do for a long time, but like you said, labor intensive. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming!
Thanks! I've been putting this idea off forever, but I really do love the result!
How fun! Even adding the legs really elevated the piece! That epoxy sounds fun --- I appreciate how you always push yourself to try new techniques and let us see the process so we learn along with you! The finished piece is really cool! ❤️
Thanks so much!

Beautiful job. I have really been wanting to do the marbling on my kitchen counters. Thank you.
Go for it! I think it would only take a little practice to be able to do a whole counter. I was really shocked how easy it was to work with. And so much fun!
Your fluting turned out great! And nice go on the epoxy top! I appreciate you including the struggles. I haven't ventured into it yet but have a few projects in mind for it. So, I'm watching all the videos... 😆
Looks awesome! You are very talented.
Thank you! 😊
It looks like you’re in the clouds 😊
Love this! Thanks so much for sharing and all the great tips!

Came out awesome 👌
Looks great! May I suggest using an 1/8th " round over bit and router the top and bottom of the board you are epoxying. Paint the entire board first and yo can dam up the edges with tape while you work on the top. Let it thicken for a couple of hours then remove the tape and it will roll over the edge and crape the underside to remove any drips every hour for a few hours until the stop appearing. Also I saw on another video, someone found fluted pole wrap to cover interior support posts....that might work well for wrapping furniture too! Good luck and I can't wait to see what you do next!
Great ideas! Thanks for sharing.
I love your Channel! You are very talented and thank you for all your ideas much needed I’m a zero on home decor and I don’t want to spend a lot of money on things I can recycle❤
Just beautiful!! I've always wanted to try epoxy also!! Love it!
Go for it! thanks for watching.
Love how you take on these projects, always learn something. I reckon next tine you do a marble top you will nail it with all of the things you learned.
Thank you so much!
Love love this makeover!! I need a couple of nightstands which are soo expensive to buy. This is the perfect solution! I have extra quartz from our kitchen makeover which will work perfectly. TY for the inspiration! 😍
It's beautiful

Amazing!
What a great idea and a cool project, Christina! I would love to mess with the epoxy kit sometime! Thanks for sharing your process and tips!
Looked fun to do. IMHO there was too much blowing of the veining. Fine to do on one or two areas - leave the other veins be. Loved the fluting - worth every bit of effort!✌🏽😎
very nice!!
Awesome!!!
Love it!

Love it! I about to por epoxy on two small tables. I am a little nervous about it as I am pouring on top of decoupage paper and is my first time doing this !! I am also nervous e about the fumes. In love , I suggest you to use PPE even if you have the garage door open. Love your work!!
Someone has a LOT of patience. I have seen marbling done using a feather.
Knocked it out of the park for your first pour! Beautiful
Thanks, Dar! ❤️
so cool
Thanks for showing me how to do epoxy it looks great .

Beautfiul job.
Really lovely piece. I've worked with epoxy resin but not the marble effect.....I think I may just have to give it a try!!
You should! Thanks for watching.❤️
Amazing
Ive used plain old Rust-Oleum appliance epoxy in white for my kitchen counters because why not, rolled it on with a foam roller because I couldn't take them off. I avoided the dripping due to the roller which helped. To cover a scorch you can use a little more white epoxy to touch it up. I didn't do the marble effect because it's just not the right space but hopefully you love it! Good effort!
Thanks for sharing!
You can create a frame around the piece you are expoxy-ing
Christina I truly enjoyed this video. My favorite flip was the Rast night stand. Question, how can I do this on a gray shiny MDF TV stand? What primer paint should I use before applying fluting? I would like it to have the dark wood gel stain look. Thanks
I just tried Lumineux last week. They are great for sensitive teeth and gums. No irritation and they whiten from the first treatment. I didn’t get the toothpaste or other products but I plan to soon. Great product!

My bathroom brand new vanity has those edge finger pulls. I couldn’t decide I put them on with command strips! It’s working great!
Love it! Better to take them for a test drive before commiting!
You did a great job, it's not a style I like but you did a nice job.
I appreciate that
Use the edge of a feather for putting down the veining
I think this might be a lot easier I don't know if it would look as good I haven't seen it yet going to do some dresser draws with it
I love this look, I've seen credenzas fluteded like this that coast thousands and you mimicked the look for much less. You have me thinking....
A more cost effective way to create the fluting would be to by a board and rip it down to create the fluting. Love this idea!
I agree, but also labor intensive 🤣 I just got a table saw and track saw, so maybe I will try that next time.
Nice 👍
You can probably get a solid surface remnant, like marble or granite, cut to that size and polished edges for cheaper than the cost of the epoxy and materials. Or, you can get a composite, like quartz or travertine for really cheap.
That is a great idea for a small piece like this. I did this same technique on a desk later on and it turned out so cool, so i'm glad I had the practice on a small board like this first.
For a longer piece you could use several RASTs joined together with a long single marbled top.
Great idea!
Love this. Maybe check out Stonecoat Countertops? They have tones of videos on youtube
Think of getting a pin nailer, tiny holes and glue them also

I see that you did this 11 months ago, so I don’t know if you’ll see this comment, but I’m leaving it anyway, just in case. I just discovered this; I actually saw your posts first and read them both before I would allow myself to watch the video.
I definitely agree with the comment that you pinned with regard to taping the edges so that the epoxy won’t run off the edges immediately. This would allow the epoxy to form a little thicker layer on the top surface, which would give your marbling more depth in appearance, making it look more realistic. I also agree with you that it might help to first paint the sides the same color as the main color of your epoxy, whatever that may be for a given project, to help the coverage of the sides.
Another suggestion that I have that I think would help in getting better coverage of the epoxy and also, perhaps, to make it look more realistic, would be an additional step to take while prepping the surface. I would suggest to sand down both the top edges as well as the corners of the surface you’re working with just so those edges aren’t quite so sharp. It appeared that you did not get good coverage on those edges and that the wood surface was showing through. I believe if you rounded those edges ever so slightly it would make a difference.
Please do more epoxy. For a first attempt I think it came out great. Even though you know it wasn’t perfect, I have to say that I think you did a great job on the marble veining itself. That came out great; much more realistic than I expected.
What size did you cut for the base mdf
Amazing! I don’t know if this would yield a good profit in my area given the size, labor, and cost of supplies but it is beautiful. Are you going to keep it or sell it? If you sell it, what do you think you would ask for it?

Two larger pieces used as nightstands
Christina - have you considered pole wrap? I've seen several UA-camrs who used this product. It may take a lot less time and be less expensive than to do each dowel individually. I love the fingerless pulls; it doesn't take away from the cabinet, it actually adds more charm and more high end.
Very nice by-the-way!!
Enjoy your day!!!
Yes! I want to pole wrap but can't get my hands on any. It's not sold in Tenn. in store because we don't have basements and I haven't been able to track any down online.
@@ChristinaMuscari Have you tried Home Depot? I do know that Home Depot did sell this wrap. But then ...!!!
@@donnabacon4681 it’s been sold out online for months. 😢 I’m on a notify list of it comes back in stock.
@@donnabacon4681 I just checked and it’s on stock! 😱 But sooooooo expensive now.
The Rast used to be $35. Now it’s almost twice that!
Love the fluted look, but don't like the idea of dusting it all the time with all those spaces. Yuck, I spend a lot of time dusting as is! So I'll admire it in someone else's house, lol!
I love epoxy!!! My kitchen counters and island are all epoxy and so are the surfaces in my skin care formulating studio and candle studio!
I don't understand why you wouldn't attach the fluting first, fill nail holes, then stain it all once?
I just watched a video today where the guy made the fluting by using a router directly on the wood, I think his channel is "Modern Makeovers".
Just saw this on his IG! Another technique to try!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Try using walnut colored wood filler so you don’t have to tint it!
I know! I was out.
use a blow dryer instead
Nice work!
I’ve never seen yellow Ryobi tools, strange.
They are green, just the coloring of the video. 😉
Peroxide is not a bad thing
Your end results r great. However, showing a DIY with 35k of hi tech tools is not going to happen for majority of pp. feels like a half hour add for your tools. But, like i said, nice results and nice ideas
I liked your explanations and the end result. But it was SO difficult to watch - constant loss of camera focus, trembling, etc. as if a 5year old was holding the camera. Hope it is just this video's problem, cause you have interesting ideas, but if it is always that shaky....
There is just simply no reason to go to Ikea...oh boy. The trees are just turning over in their graves....
