      @@ChristinaMuscari I am learning that very quickly! Just finished my first project and the results are pretty incredible but as I always tell my students the journey is where you learn so any "mistakes" made is an opportunity to learn and perhaps go in another direction. if need be, needless to say I learned A LOT in my first furniture makeover! haha! Working on my voice-over today for my video so I'm sorry I missed your premiere.

    Love your work Christina!! We used to go to farm auctions and find some beautiful antique wood furniture hiding in a barn and my husband and I would take them home, strip them and refinish them. I can appreciate your dedication to this craft. You have a few more power tools now but still takes a special skill and envision to bring an old piece to life. Thank you for all the great inspiration.

My sister has watched your program and Kathie's also, she had learned a lot of good ideas from you. We can use all the help we can get to become professionals.. the zebra paint brush kit is just the ticket we need especially the angle brush you used for top coating. Have a wonderful day 😁

    I love Seaglass color by DB, too, I also have a hankering for their Peacock color. That is also beautiful! This piece turned out awesome and I wouldn't have expected a light color to go over that black so easily. Thanks for the sanding tips. One of my biggest mistakes is improper sanding, or even the grit of the paper that I use. I would most likely find the Zibra round brush to be useful for painting legs of furniture and going around corners. Thanks for the tips. I always learn a lot watching you!

    Hello Christina hope all's well and happy Valentine's day....just thought I'd add a Tip for some people who cannot afford the surf prep sander (is however on my wish list)...on amazon they Do sell Foam sponge cushion for 8 hole hook&loop orbital sander interface....So they're Very inexpensive and this Just sticks in the velcro (so it's in between sander and sanding discs)....I believe for a pack of 5 is about $20 and for a pack of 2 is under $10...these are Just a buffer pad that has foam ...So you'd still use the sanding discs the same way...this is just to add that softer cushion..... Obviously Wud not be as Good as the surf prep sander...But it's Definitely a cheap go-to UNTIL Were able to Purchase the surf prep at a later date...hope this helps some of ur viewers..🤩❣️

    Thanks for the newbie videos! Love all the fancy stuff but need some basics to work on my skills first. I love that Zibra trim brush with the short handle...so cool!

    I've never tried one of the round bridges but they look like they do an excellent job work chalk paints and waxes!
