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

    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!

    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!!

    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.

      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.

    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!

    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)

  • @sandiwillis3171
    @sandiwillis3171 Рік тому

    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. 🥴

    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.

    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

    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
      @ChristinaMuscari  Рік тому

      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.
