Christina Muscari This is an excellent DIY video in which anyone can easily follow and make their own masterpiece. I'm with you...it feels wonderful taking a discarded, old, no longer loved, anything, but especially furniture, and make it new again! Often times, it comes out better than when brand new. The satisfaction is simply the best feeling. I'm going to watch ALL your posts! Thank you!!!!

I love how you re-do these ugly pieces of furniture! Ive always disliked that era of furniture, but never thought of refurbishing! You make them look so much better! Im learning something new in each of your vids! Thank you! ❤

The table looks great. The previous finish wasn’t removed however, so your actually applying a stain over top an old finish. The point to staining wood is to see some wood grain. This side table looks to have a veneer top so removing the finish to raw wood takes a delicate touch if using a orbital. You’d be better off painting the top black and putting a finish coat on.

I have the exact end table, married into it, lol! Instead of replacing, I chose to refinish. It was near completion before watching this, I did near the exact paint, sealer and drawer pull, top white currently, so encouraging! I was unsure, my hubby is old fashioned, he'll have to learn to love the piece. Great video, very happy to find!

You're awesome! I've watched so many videos on refinishing furniture. You're so easy to watch! Thanks for all the tips!
I'm tackling my breakfast table this week while under GA state mandatory 'stay in place'.
I'll be sure to post before and after!

FANTASTIC EFFORT CHRISTINA! The prep and paint job is tedious enough. But to film, edit and make it interesting to the viewer shows how good and passionate you are in what you do! Love your work!

Thank you! This was the most helpful chalk paint video I've come across yet. I'm redoing my kitchen table and 8 chairs using your method. So far, the table is looking fabulous. Can't wait to see the end result!! Thanks again! Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much, Christina! I painted a dresser using your “pretty distressed” guide. I even think I developed some technique throughout my first painting project! This tutorial video of yours helped me get this done. Thank you very much once again. Stay safe throughout the virus pandemic...I hope folks learn from your tutorials for their DIY projects. Spending so much more time at home, I sense your tutorial videos will come very handy.

I love your tutorials Christina. I’m going to try this one out I just got myself an old cabinet similar to yours and I think it will look very nice in the black and white. A while ago I did a dresser and a bed side table in the 3 in one paint and they turned out amazing. Thanks for all your hard work in putting these together for us beginners!

Christina it’s lovely, the colours are modern and your easy to follow tutorials are fab. Doing up old furniture is a great hobby, especially when the piece is a good shape with character . Much better than boring new cheap furniture.

Binge watching your videos, I’ve narrowed down to 2 projects to start with. #1 wood set of TV trays, their ugly as sin but are very sturdy surviving 5 kids, 4 exchange students and now grandchildren. Almost donated them last month but knew DH (dear husband) would have cried, seriously 😐 going to use this tutorial!
#2 a cheap sewing cabinet.
Thanks for all your great beautiful art and clear instructions!

Awesome! I have 2 of these tables that I literally bought 39 years and 4 moves ago. They are very sturdy, well built, but have some blems and I have been tired of "the look" for a while. Now I can renew them and get another 39?! :D

I thought it was great that you suggested practice pieces for the beginner because that's exactly what I did. I bought some cheap stuff at an auction before I dive into painting my bedroom set. One piece was a side table that is very close to the one you just did. I am going to be using chalk paint because I need to learn how to paint with it and I wanted to try different techniques. I have a small coffee table also and I want to try to add some flowers or something to the top. I guess there are many ways to do that. Decals, papers, stencils, so I will be looking at videos for each type and try picking one. Your video was very informative so I subscribed and plan on watching many more. Thanks for the help.

Just a thought for those of us who don't like all of those joint lines where the pieces John together! Fill in the joint lines with paintable wood filler and then paint the piece. It looks pretty darn nice w/o all the cut lines!

Great tutorial! I’m a woodworker & I’ve built everything you can think of but being a guy I’m not great with color & the newer trends. I have some 70s Lane coffee table & end tables with storage & lined with aromatic cedar. The finishes are terrible! They were antiqued years ago by someone so I wanted to do what you did with this table. Great job & nice look.

Helpful! Thank you. I started to put Java Gel on a top and it looked horrible so I stopped. Now I see that I just had to keep going with more layers. I love the High Performance. I used Annie Sloan Old Ochre to paint a Rattan dining set. The soft wax just absorbed into the bamboo and didn't look good at all. I called the Stockist and she said just to put the High Performance over the wax. Now it looks great!

My inner perfectionist is out of control, I do have a big problem with this. I chuckled when you mentioned the hairs, I was painting yesterday and found a couple of hairs and yes, I did try to remove them and created a problem for myself. I am going to try to ignore them. Now with all that said, your table came out so beautiful. Your advice for adding some water spoke to me because I am having problems with the chalk paint being so thick. I am now for the first time trying chalk paint so all your hints are so helpful, Thank You so very much.
