Bernice!!!! You didn't have to do this!!! I was a pleasure meeting you and your husband! You guys were an inspiration to me and Ryan! We see the love you guys have for each other and it is so infectious! It was so much fun to have you there in Temecula! We hope to see you both again!!! Christina! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎨🙏
@@TheReclaimedHeirloom because we were so excited about your sharing your bit of California and the hint of missing us as you were on your way, you will be forever a part of our life experience!
What a blessing to have this experience with such good hearted people. 💕🌸Thanks for the inspiration you have shared with this 74 yr old crafter/painter.
Why are tears misting my eyes? Because I feel the intimacy of friendship, even with those I have not met. You and Kacha were the first artists I was drawn to as I began painting furniture in my 70s. Oh yes, I adore my younger instructors. The two of you have remained my favorites and I learn so much from you. Thank you for sharing from your heart what the journey means to many of us as well. It encompasses more than painting because paint brushes, top coats, sealers, and gold leaf cannot fill our hearts with love and warmth. But people can and you have (including your husbands and dogs). I am proud of you and Kacha and will always remain a follower. With love ~ Betty, a fellow dog lover.
Hi Betty! Thank you so much for the kind words! Kacha and I are good friends, I love her work and we love what we do! I am so happy you are learning from our videos they are a labor of love and we like to share our knowledge with others. So happy you are enjoying our channels!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏❤️🎨
Just wow! That pulled at my heart strings! I am so honored to be a part of that special weekend. I learned so many things, met so many new people, made a lot of friends. It will forever be in my memories. I am so glad I got to meet you, Ryan and Hadley. Beautiful family with amazing creativity and hearts. ❤❤❤
Thank you 🙏 so much Sabrina for your kind words and thoughtful comment ♥️ It was such a pleasure to meet you and I had so much fun! I am so glad you took time to come out and join us with everyone! I really look forward to seeing you again 🤗
I have always told my children and grandchildren, "The greatest gift you can give to yourself is to give of yourself." I can see the joy you have and the how others receive your joy and enthusiasm in return.🐩
“If you want something you can make it” I love these words. I thank you so much for educating us on how to make our DIYS artful that turns into quality pieces. I’m glad that you learned that painting furniture is art. I agreed with you. Keep creating new ideas. I will keep watching your videos. ❤🌷🤩
Reading all the comments, I couldn’t say it any better. The inspiration, genuineness (of you) and of course, your talents are beyond belief! Your words are a gift to all of us
Christina and Ryan, I read the comments and I agreed with all the kind words that were said about you In addition, you have a blessed Union. Thank you for supporting each other’s goals and working smart to achieve them. Keep growing and making memories so, that your laughter will always remain. Furthermore, think painting furniture is art because the dresser is breathtaking; absolutely gorgeous it’s art on wood. I like the white gold accents. Good job!
Thank you Fanouvvi!!! Always good to hear from you!!!!!!! Glad you enjoyed it!!!! Glad you liked the white gold! Kacha is rubbing off on me!!! LOL ❤️🙏🎨
@@TheReclaimedHeirloom Oh yeah, I can see that Kasha has influenced you greatly. All in all, Iron sharpens iron. I have respect for the both of you. I wish you more creativity ideas to come.
Christina and Ryan, Watching the video, I grabbed a pen and notebook and recorded many of your revelations. I still believe you need to have your own series on HGTV, or create a series on PBS. Growing is a vitamin of my life. Thank you both again, you are amazing people❤️❤️❤️
Oh my goodness!! you are the most amazing inspiring woman! ❤️ Love!!! love!! your story. vacation was well deserving for both you and your husband. what a beautiful blessed journey!!! Just treasuring the memories and being with beautiful people!!
I am very grateful for this video, it can be compared to the motivational speeches of Louise Hay. I haven't been faced with so much warmth, eloquence and positivity in a long time. Greetings from Belgrade
Art is like music to those who really feel it, or need it, I couldn't imagine music or art not being in my life. It's lovely to hear people count when in so many aspects of life at the moment we feel we don't.
What a beautiful message, Christina!!! So glad that this trip was an amazing experience for you, an eye opening moment, a revelation! The feeling of renewed purpose and gratitude is felt throughout this video. I cannot wait to see all the diy’s you have for us! We’ll be standing right by your side on this ride, cheering for you!🤗
Hi Cristina, thank you for this video, thank you for sharing your time with us. You lived a wonderful adventure and I hope you ll have plenty of others. I love what you do and you filled my heart with energy and positive vibes. So thank you and as you say, I m looking forward to seeing you. Kisses from France ❤😊❤
as a Canadian living in Guatemala i loved discovering your calming voice on UA-cam and hearing your transparency about failing...i love upcycling as well.
Thank you Christina for sharing your experiences and talents so generously. What a lovely video. Continue sharing all you beautiful makeovers and I wish you great happiness in your new home.
Christina you sell yourself so short! You are absolutely outstanding in what you do,I can't believe you don't think your worthy...yes you are!! More than,those ppl who went to the event went not only to learn new technics, they went to meet you aswell, why wouldn't they! Anne sloan & casha.all 3 of you. You are super talented and have a flair like I've never seen before. You can turn a ordinary piece into something truly magnificent! I'm so glad you & Ryan enjoyed your little vacation aswell.😊
Hi Christine I so loved your video about your trip to California! What a thrill for you and your husband. And meeting Kasha,,I love her work also. You are such a warm loving person, and you do such great projects. I look forward to your videos. Thanks for sharing your story!
What a sweet video. I love painting furniture. My family makes fun of me. This video helped me understand that I’m not weird I have a passion and there are lots like me out there.
You are not weird! You definitely have a passion to paint and why not save a piece of furniture from the landfill in the process!! Glad you liked the video! 🙏🎨❤️
Don't sell yourself short you are definitely an "Ambassador"....Great, great video wish I was there!!!!! Your piece turned out gorgeous!!!!! Christina all I know is that I am so grateful I found your channel and look forward every week for your videos !!!!!
Hello from Toledo Ohio!! Hey sister! i have been watching you for years, and adore you. I wake up and make my coffee, set at my pc to look for inspiration on UA-cam. and when i see i got a notification you have a video i wiggle in the set and do a OHHHHH SHE MADE A VODEO! I feel like your a friend i have never met yet. keep doing what you do sister. we all love you.
Christina what a lovely Video i am glad to be Part of your UA-cam Family .i am looking forward to watching your future Videos and learning more .Thankyou to you and Ryan for sharing your vacation with us.❤
Hi Christina and Ryan. So wonderful to hear that you had a beautiful and inspiring vacation! Your a beautiful couple. I can always feel the love you have for not only your art, but for each and everyone to touch. So happy I found you here. I’ve been a fan now for quite awhile ❤. Thank you both! 😊
Thank you 🙏 Karen for your thoughtful and kind comment 🤗♥️♥️ I really appreciate your support and look forward to sharing more fun ideas! It’s all about the journey!
Christina thanks so much for sharing your journey into creativity❤️ I would definitely agree that it’s the people you meet along the way that make doing what you love even more special.
Awww this was great !!!! The thing is that I truly have watched you and Kacha faithfully for years . I always thought you two have so much in common your love of painting and you both had hardship with your sweet pets your husbands are always right beside you both so this was a real pleasure to watch ! I love you both ❤ Oh I bet meeting Annie had to be awesome 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us, your words Christina about friendship bought tears to my eyes, what a great experience it was for you both. I have a block of fear of failure and also that I can't make my mind up on how I want my pieces to look, so I never get started, I just think about them sitting in my garage. So I will take your words and make a definite plan and get started and it doesn't matter if I stuff up, I will learn from it and make them into something better than they are now.
That's the right way!!!! Just go for it! Remember it's just paint!! You can always start over!!!! I am happy to hear to you are going to give it a go!!!!!! ❤️🎨🙏
To say that this video is great, would definitely be an understatement. There are so many revelations that I do not know where to begin. Elvis flunked music class?! Never realized California is such a beautiful state! I know I miss being creative and now I am yearning to be creative! In the small farming community where I live there is not a creative group. This video made me realize I got to branch out creatively. Thank you for sharing your adventure. It has truly been eye-opening for me. ❤
So exciting to listen to you. Talk through this experience that you had. And how it’s inspired you. Because it’s inspiring me to not take my attempts at furniture refinishing to seriously. This was really fun so thanks for sharing.

Wonderful video! And always follow your bliss no matter what anyone else thinks. Colonel Sanders was rejected 1,009 times for his Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe before it was finally accepted. Now that's perseverance!👌
Thank you for being so genuine and sharing your thoughts and insights. This was a beautiful journey to share with you on so many levels. I can just feel how rejuvinated and inspired you are. I can't wait to see all that is to come.
Oh my goodness, you are speaking to my heart! I found Kacha on UA-cam and she changes my life. I’m on my 3rd furniture makeover. I’m a senior citizen and feel like I have a new purpose in my life. It would have been the dream of my life to meet these incredible artists. Thank you for sharing your heart 💜
Yes! We do our art from our hearts! It doesn’t matter if it sells or not, we just put our hearts into the pieces and enjoy the process. We see beyond the scratches and the flaws of that adorable side table that has great bones and the vision makes you crazy wanting to see the end results!! We are like minded. Subscribed today! Looking forward to seeing more of your content/art videos. ❤
Cristina honey, i hope you realize that THEM meeting YOU was no doubt equally thrilling for them!! This world is full of talented, down to earth, warm and loving people who share their incredible and humble talents! Cristina you're one of those people! You have been such an inspiration in my life at a time when i thought for sure i had failed at just about everything!! From your gentle instruction and meticulously explained steps, i have discovered something new and amazing about myself that i never knew was there!! And believe me when i say, it has been my saving grace, you and a couple other like you, have been my saving grace!! So i thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your gifts and knowing how to reach those who need to be reached the most.
Thank you 🙏 so much for your kind comment and thoughtful words 🤗 It really means so much to read this message and know that I can inspire and share ideas! This trip was very special and you said it really well, that all of the people part of this event are very passionate and creative! Both community of people like yourself and many others who are passionate and driven can be so creative and sharing both from videos and in person workshops is amazing to be able to do this together!! Keep creating and learning!! Thank you again for sharing your kind words 🤗♥️♥️♥️
Thanks for sharing. What a wonderful trip with beautiful scenery and warm caring friends. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming adventures with you new home, as well as your adorable Pascal. I gather he was a little too energetic for this lovely trip, but Hadley certainly seemed to enjoy himself! 😊
Wow, Christina, this is by far your best video to date! This is an absolute triumph! I've been on board since the 8000 subs mark, and I say that proudly. So thrilled you, Ryan, and Hadley had fun in my country!! Stay safe my friend and keep reaching for those stars...ok! Your North Carolina friend, Ken. 🕊🇺🇲
Hi Ken!!!!! Good to hear from you!! So grateful for your support all these years!!!! Wow 8,000 subs that was along time ago!!!! Thanks again!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎨🙏
Wow!, Wow!, Wow! Christina......I must say you are truly an amazing person I literally cried happy tears thru this whole video I haven't commented in a while but Had to say something I felt every word you said I've been a crafter since age 7 and I just turned 64 in March and I'm still crafting its the best THERAPY for me when ran across your channel Your painting motivated me to take an heirloom dresser and bring it to this Era Thank you Christina for bringing us along this journey with you I love Annie Sloan ❤️ tfs
Thank you 🙏 so much Andrea for your kind words and thoughtful comment 🤗♥️♥️ Just like you, it’s an amazing therapy and it’s fun to see what you can create! Some are beautiful and some not so much 🤨 but it’s the learning process and the journey to create something and if you don’t like it, try again! I still have so much to learn but I want to enjoy and encourage the process ♥️♥️♥️
Such a touching video this week. Thank you for sharing the intimate details of your creative journey, as well as your journey to California. It makes my heart happy to see you among such an amazing group of creatives who are wonderful human beings! 💖💖💖
Hi Christina! Thank you for taking us along on your trip to CA! What a beautiful vacation! And oh my goodness, such an amazing time with all your "family". I'm new to chalk painting, just getting my feet wet, haha. You have inspired me and I'm so looking forward to trying my first piece of furniture. You are an incredibly talented person and have such a big heart. That was is so clear to see in this video. Hadley is a funny fellow and boy did he have a vacation! What is your cat's name? I can't wait to meet the newest member of your family. Love love all the crafts you do too!
Bless you for taking the time and opportunity to record such a meaningful and memorable experience; to share with all of us. What a dream come true. I like your comment; “it’s about the people behind the creations” and that’s so true. Success comes first within ourselves! Love the video!! btw California is gorgeous the landscape is breathtaking!
Christina, thank you so much for sharing your amazing journey & adventure & vacation. You brought back joy when I saw the California beaches & beautifully views. Gorgeous furniture! I loved the entire video; you are extremely happy & grateful for all the wonderful people & friends💗🤗💗.
Christina finally I was able to watch your journey. It was fantastic. Must say it was joy to watch you, you were glowing. So happy for you. Such a shame I am so far away it would of been great to be part of this event. But I am watching you closely and learning as much as my brain can take. See you next week.❤
Thank You !!! For sharing your wonderful vacation! Wish I could have been there! Also .... Thank YOU for what you do best !!! Teaching us how to do things , things that I never thought I would ever do or even try! I love your videos and how you take the time to explain how to do it !
Oh my goodness, there’s so much to say about your video. You have resonated with so many, and I’m no exception. I’ve been following both you and Kacha for so long and always admired the uniqueness you each possess. Learned so much about painting and many wonderful techniques. But the real story is not so much in your abilities to create beautiful works of art, but in finding friendship, love, strength and perseverance beyond the paintbrush. I missed your soothing voice and seeing your creations on a weekly basis, and I am so happy each time I see new uploads. Thank you for who you are. Perhaps I’ll be lucky enough to cross paths with you and Kacha one day.
Thank you 🙏 so much Elle! I LEARNED so much! Going forward I know EXACTLY where to head! Remember your intuition is telling you something and it might not be what you want to hear but it’s for a reason! You are So talented and work your rear off! Keep on creating and know your worth 🤗♥️♥️
A trip like that is once in a lifetime and one to treasure always. I really like the this piece and the soothing neutral earth tones. The simplicity of the piece and the technique finish you did are so good for each other. I love your videos and appreciate you sharing your tips and methods, as you are such an inspiration and my head is filling with things to do with some paintable furniture I have that need a new and fresher look.
Wow…watching your video and listening to you describe such an amazing experience, made me want to experience it myself. So happy you were able to experience such friendships and share wealth of details and share it with all of us. Thank you ❤❤❤
This made me cry 🥲 You’re a couple of years ahead of me on my creator journey and I’ve been on your channel almost from the beginning. I saw a lot of myself in this video, and the glaringly obvious ways I shortchange myself just when I’m about to break through. Like you said it’s important to surround yourself with like-minded people, and those who support you. The beautiful part is the journey and the discovery; not the “destination” or the “perfection” of a finished piece-bc neither of them exist. Happy Birthday! And thank you for taking us along-beautiful footage btw!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. With life returning to somewhat normal, it’s easy to forget about the isolation most of us experienced the past few years. So it’s beautiful to hear you describe the real connections that have developed in your circle. There is something so special that happens when creative people come together. You’re so right about finding the right people and supporting each other. Creativity has always been big part of my life, but usually in my own time on my own - which I enjoy. The past few months I joined a ceramics class and it’s been the highlight of my week. I have also made some wonderful new friends. Much love from Australia ❤
Merci pour cette magnifique vidéo et vos mots que je partage pleinement. Et c’est vrai, je ne vous ai jamais rencontrée et je vous aime énormément, je suis très reconnaissante pour tout ce que j’ai appris grâce à vos vidéos. Vous m’avez aidée à oser… quel bonheur de faire des choses, de créer, de transformer. Du fond du coeur, merci Christina.💝💐
I just watched your video. I have been stuck with many things in life and there is a reason for the time and place that I watched this video. I needed this more than you know!! I’ve always loved you and I want to thank you so much for this. I truly needed it!!!!
Hola Cristina. Que ilusión! Hace días te pedí que subtituladas los vídeos porque no entendía lo que hablabas. Me encanta que lo hayas hecho. Un abrazo guapa!!!❤
Dear Christina, here it is 3:30 am and I’m still binge watching your channel! I discovered it recently, and went back a year ago to start watching all the episodes. And even though our decorating “Style“ is not the same, I’ve learned so many things that I can apply to my own style. Thank you for your thorough explanations as well as your ingenious ideas. (Oh, and as an animal lover, thank you for including them as well!)
Wow - this was the most outstanding eulogy I have heard here on UA-cam. So well spoken, you are just a treasure ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your support!!! ❤️🎨🙏

Wonderful video! And always follow your bliss no matter what anyone else thinks. Colonel Sanders was rejected 1,009 times for his Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe before it was finally accepted. Now that's perseverance!👌

Oh my goodness, you are speaking to my heart! I found Kacha on UA-cam and she changes my life. I’m on my 3rd furniture makeover. I’m a senior citizen and feel like I have a new purpose in my life. It would have been the dream of my life to meet these incredible artists.
Thank you for sharing your heart 💜

LOL every room he went in he had to jump on the bed and roll around!!!!! ❤️🎨🙏
Yes! We do our art from our hearts! It doesn’t matter if it sells or not, we just put our hearts into the pieces and enjoy the process. We see beyond the scratches and the flaws of that adorable side table that has great bones and the vision makes you crazy wanting to see the end results!! We are like minded. Subscribed today! Looking forward to seeing more of your content/art videos. ❤
Thank you so much Lorijo!! Well said!!! Welcome to my channel! I hope you like today's new video! I painted a elephant on a dresser!!! 🐘🐘🐘❤️🎨🙏

Thanks for sharing. What a wonderful trip with beautiful scenery and warm caring friends. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming adventures with you new home, as well as your adorable Pascal. I gather he was a little too energetic for this lovely trip, but Hadley certainly seemed to enjoy himself! 😊

Thank you 🙏 so much Andrea for your kind words and thoughtful comment 🤗♥️♥️
Just like you, it’s an amazing therapy and it’s fun to see what you can create!
Some are beautiful and some not so much 🤨 but it’s the learning process and the journey to create something and if you don’t like it, try again!
I still have so much to learn but I want to enjoy and encourage the process ♥️♥️♥️

Hi Christina! Thank you for taking us along on your trip to CA! What a beautiful vacation! And oh my goodness, such an amazing time with all your "family". I'm new to chalk painting, just getting my feet wet, haha. You have inspired me and I'm so looking forward to trying my first piece of furniture. You are an incredibly talented person and have such a big heart. That was is so clear to see in this video. Hadley is a funny fellow and boy did he have a vacation! What is your cat's name? I can't wait to meet the newest member of your family. Love love all the crafts you do too!

Christina finally I was able to watch your journey. It was fantastic. Must say it was joy to watch you, you were glowing. So happy for you. Such a shame I am so far away it would of been great to be part of this event. But I am watching you closely and learning as much as my brain can take. See you next week.❤
Thank You !!! For sharing your wonderful vacation! Wish I could have been there!
Also ....
Thank YOU for what you do best !!! Teaching us how to do things , things that I never thought I would ever do or even try! I love your videos and how you take the time to explain how to do it !
Lisa!!! Thank you so much for your kind words!!!!!!! ❤️🎨🙏
Oh my goodness, there’s so much to say about your video. You have resonated with so many, and I’m no exception. I’ve been following both you and Kacha for so long and always admired the uniqueness you each possess. Learned so much about painting and many wonderful techniques. But the real story is not so much in your abilities to create beautiful works of art, but in finding friendship, love, strength and perseverance beyond the paintbrush. I missed your soothing voice and seeing your creations on a weekly basis, and I am so happy each time I see new uploads. Thank you for who you are. Perhaps I’ll be lucky enough to cross paths with you and Kacha one day.
Thank you Mirna!!! Hopefully we will see you one day as well!!!! ❤️🙏🎨
Really enjoyed this special episode! 👍

Remember your intuition is telling you something and it might not be what you want to hear but it’s for a reason!

Keep on creating and know your worth 🤗♥️♥️

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy today's new video! ❤️🙏🎨
Oh my gosh...I love this..feeling your joy!!!
She’s back! Yay!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am back!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎨🙏
A trip like that is once in a lifetime and one to treasure always. I really like the this piece and the soothing neutral earth tones. The simplicity of the piece and the technique finish you did are so good for each other. I love your videos and appreciate you sharing your tips and methods, as you are such an inspiration and my head is filling with things to do with some paintable furniture I have that need a new and fresher look.
Wow…watching your video and listening to you describe such an amazing experience, made me want to experience it myself. So happy you were able to experience such friendships and share wealth of details and share it with all of us. Thank you ❤❤❤
Muchas felicidades por vuestro estupendo viaje y maravillosa experiencia. Gracias por compartir. Eres siempre una inspiración ❤.
That's wonderful moments! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!❤️🙏🎨
Love your little dresser! It is so you!
Thank you! 🎨🙏❤️
Beautiful and heart felt as always! Classic Christina, thank you for this.
Thank you so much Denise! ❤️🙏🎨
Goose bumps, happiness for you and WOW so well said and SO true. The best of the best. Love my friend ❤
Thank you 🙏 so much Diane I have and always will deeply appreciate your support 🤗♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This made me cry 🥲 You’re a couple of years ahead of me on my creator journey and I’ve been on your channel almost from the beginning. I saw a lot of myself in this video, and the glaringly obvious ways I shortchange myself just when I’m about to break through. Like you said it’s important to surround yourself with like-minded people, and those who support you. The beautiful part is the journey and the discovery; not the “destination” or the “perfection” of a finished piece-bc neither of them exist. Happy Birthday! And thank you for taking us along-beautiful footage btw!
Hi Carolyn!!!! So glad you enjoyed the video!! Enjoy your creator journey!!!! ❤️🎨🙏
May I join the club? Felt the same...♥️♥️ Sending love to you♥️
Wasn't this an amazing event to enjoy with a great DIY CREATOR
Beautifully told! Wish I could have joined the event! Thank you for sharing! 😁
Thanks Marina! We will have more in the future!! ❤️🙏🎨
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. With life returning to somewhat normal, it’s easy to forget about the isolation most of us experienced the past few years. So it’s beautiful to hear you describe the real connections that have developed in your circle. There is something so special that happens when creative people come together. You’re so right about finding the right people and supporting each other.
Creativity has always been big part of my life, but usually in my own time on my own - which I enjoy. The past few months I joined a ceramics class and it’s been the highlight of my week. I have also made some wonderful new friends.
Much love from Australia ❤
Thank you so much Jasmine!!!! That's sounds fantastic joining a ceramics class! I would love to do that! ❤️🙏🎨
Merci pour cette magnifique vidéo et vos mots que je partage pleinement. Et c’est vrai, je ne vous ai jamais rencontrée et je vous aime énormément, je suis très reconnaissante pour tout ce que j’ai appris grâce à vos vidéos. Vous m’avez aidée à oser… quel bonheur de faire des choses, de créer, de transformer. Du fond du coeur, merci Christina.💝💐
Merci beaucoup pour vos aimables paroles et votre soutien à ma chaîne grandement apprécié! ❤️🙏🎨

Dear Christina, here it is 3:30 am and I’m still binge watching your channel! I discovered it recently, and went back a year ago to start watching all the episodes. And even though our decorating “Style“ is not the same, I’ve learned so many things that I can apply to my own style. Thank you for your thorough explanations as well as your ingenious ideas. (Oh, and as an animal lover, thank you for including them as well!)
Thank you so much for your support Kate!! Yes make your style you!!!! ❤️🎨🙏
What a phenomenal video! Your inspiration will be passed on to so many.
Thank you so much Janice!!!!! ❤️🎨🙏
