Also, I absolutely love the colors you chose and blended. They are really popular right now and will go with a lot of styles and colors. Your work is amazing and very unique. Your blending style is the best I’ve ever seen. The way you explain the process makes your videos very educational!! Thank you Christina!!!
Kim Bennett ... thank you so much Kim for your thoughtful comment and support 🙏💙 I truly want people to feel successful with their projects and want to offer as my as I can to get more details and support so they can love their work!

I love how the colors and the faded stenciling just pulled everything together and made this piece sing!!! It's always such a treat to listen to and watch you work...I mean play...!
nanette orchid ... thank you so much 🙏 for your thoughtful comment Nanette 💙💙 I absolutely love these old armoires, there are so many fun ideas to recreate a make over and use for them! I really appreciate your support 🤗🎨
Well, that's the most sublime stenciling I've ever seen, Christina. The finished piece is simply beautiful. (I'm still giggling about coffee and The Doors. Ah, memories...)
Houston Calhoun ... thank you so much for your kind words and support 🙏💙 I really appreciate your mentioning my silly habits with iPod and coffee seen lol 😂 I do weird things when I am on the mission to finish my projects 😆 I had to change rooms while I did the voiceover as everyone is home and my house is noisy, I didn’t notice the voice audio change until after I saw the video on here lol 😝 With my neighbours home everyone around the house is cutting the grass or using leaf blowers and my 🎙 mic picks up all the sounds around me, I may have to hide in attic to finish my videos 🤔 Yes the memories of old classics and makes you feel like you are a teenager again 🤗💙
I'm learning so much from your tutorials and even had to put you on pause halfway through to order a meshing tool! How have i lasted so long without one?! Lol. Thank you xx
Wow, Christina - another beautiful transformation! I will definitely try the stencilling technique. Thank you for your tuition, kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧😊💕
Ksenija Turkovic ... lol 😂 definitely over caffeinated all the time 🤪, no wondering I am painting all the time lol. Thank you so much Ksenija for your very kind words and support 🙏💙 I want to add more fun giggles and stories with in my videos to share! Check out my video tutorial published today and see more really cool ideas and how silly I get with WAY to much coffee ☕️. I am so looking forward to sharing my chalk paint/ stencil on the ceiling tutorial coming soon 😉💙💙
Suzanne Glover ... that’s fantastic Suzanne , I absolutely adore using the Wooster pro and meshing technique makes blending so much easier and way more faster! I recommend washing them before painting with first, just like a brand new brush it may have a little lint on the new pad as it is real lambs wool. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me anytime 🙏💙😉
Its finally here!! Woohoo!🥳 And let me tell ya, Christina the wait for this video was so worth it! ❤ The colors, the meshing, the stincils how the amazing faded but still jumping out at you just pops!🥰 You are now "Christina, the stincil queen"👑 Thank you so much for sharing your talent ♡ 🤔. . *thinking to myself* - Canada to England. . Shipping couldn't be that much. . . Or could it? 😂🤣😂🤣
Nikki Lloyd ... 🙏🤗 thank you so much Nikki for your kind words and feedback 🎨💙 When I come to the UK next time , let’s paint together and we can by pass the shipping 😂😉 It would be an honour to meet you ☺️
another beautiful piece Christina. I love the stenciling details. and it's so nice to see your personality coming through in your videos 😁 it was very informative and also fun to watch
Donna St Jules ... thank you so much Donna 🙏🤗 I really appreciate your feedback and support, it truly great to hear that I am not a crazy person and adding my little positive yet, silly ways of getting projects done ✅ can make you smile 😊, definitely check out todays new tutorial video as it’s a super fun, easy decorative way to create your outdoor space and added some interesting stories to this video lol 😂 🎨💙💙
Gorgeous! You make blending look so effortless! I struggle. I did buy a meshing tool. Just have to find the nerve to try it. I love the way the stencil came out. Beautiful work, as always!
Nadine Connors ... thank you so much for your kind feedback 🙏💙 It’s just a bit of practice and you can do it , I promise it is fun and easy, it’s getting use to your paint and tools you use both brushes and the meshing applicator. Stencilling make a beautiful decorative addition to any project and weather you choose one ☝️ colour or several colours, it can add so much character 😉💙🎨
After watching this video, I wooshed out of bed and knew what I was going to do today. LOL!! I absolutely love this armoire!! You did an amazing job painting it!! I love how you used several of your techniques on this beautiful piece. It’s an old armoire, which lends to an old world vibe. After you painted the AS Scandinavian color armoire, I immediately ordered a Wooster brush, but I still haven’t used it. I don’t know which armoire I like best because they are both such gorgeous rich pieces. Which one is your favorite? I have a high boy that’s begging to be painted with a Wooster brush and stenciled. Besides them being so decorative, stencils are an economical way to add design. Buying or making appliqués can get so expensive and time consuming to adorn a furniture piece. Stencils are fast and fun to apply!! Great job Christina!!
Kim Bennett ... you are the sweetest person Kim 🙏❤️ Thank you so much for all your feedback and support 🤗🎨 You will definitely love the Wooster pro! Remember to give a good wash before you use it first time as it’s real wool and like any paint brush it has loose lints to it so just a soap and water wash before you start! 😉💙 I can you making beautiful creations with it!! 🙌
Your work is so beautiful. I hope one day i can do 1/2 as good. Just need practice. Also your choice of colors is wonderful. I have problems with choosing colors but i am learning. Loving everything!
Mildred Fippen ... thank you so much Mildred 🙏💙 for your kind words and comment 💙🎨 It takes a bit of practice and I too had to learn as I went , you can totally do it! But most of all have fun!! Creating new ideas is meant to have fun and you make the rules and colours you love ❤️
Where did you get that wooly tool? Loved that video! Easy to watch, no interruptions, no saying hello to every person jumping on! Just good info😀 Beautiful piece, great job !
vanessa gosson ... thank you so much Vanessa for your thoughtful comment and feedback 🙏💙 The Wooster pro can be found on amazon! Some hardware and paint shops carry them too! Rust-Oleum makes the “ Wooster pro wool “ which is the exact same tool I use! Thank you again for your kind words 🙏🎨
Great video, beautiful work. I love how your sense of humor comes out in little clips. You always give a lot of details on your projects and that’s very helpful. I am looking for a Heat gun/device to quick dry my projects once in a while because I’ve been using my hair dryer. Can you please make a recommendation on one or tell me the brand you used in this video?
Jan in Bama ... thank you so much Jan 🙏💙 For your kind comment and feedback! The heat gun is what you see me use in the videos, it is super fast drying and you can purchase one on amazon or your local paint shops! It is very hot so it’s super important to make sure you are always moving it when it’s on ... it happen to me once when I first started using it, if it sits a one spot for a few secs to long it will boil up the paint 🎨 lol 😂 so just a quick tip from my foolishness lol 😆 If you have any questions please feel free to contact me anytime 🤗🎨
Jan in Bama ... exactly!! 😉 Just remember to to offload excess paint frequently and nothing major just give it a wipe back to you don’t have moisture build up as you mesh 🤗💙💙
I guess I’m not really a fan of that top one color, bottom another, but I do appreciate seeing your techniques & your stenciling is just beautiful - I love blending colors, but more in an all over look, I guess .... But I am definitely going to get one of those meshing tools - thank you for posting - we all really need lovely distractions right now !
Melody ... Thanks for your feedback and comment 🙏🎨 I am glad to hear to like the technique and of course using your personal colour design you can create beautiful decorative finishes 😉💙 The meshing applicator and technique is super easy and fast 💨... especially for larger surface areas and projects. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me anytime 😉
Hi Christina.....I just watched your deck renewal video....don’t know how I missed this one but can I just say WOW🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 that piece is just gorgeous....so much attention to detail....you are a true artist....love watching you blend ( now I’m really excited to try my new Wooster tool !Question do you clean that with soap and water between projects? As always thank you for sharing😊k
Kimberly Drake ... thank you so much Kimberly for your thoughtful comment 🙏💙 Yes , I just clean the Wooster pro with soap and water , nothing else 😉🎨 I recommend washing it before you use the first time, because it is real wool it will shed a little ( just like a brand new paint brush) so you get fluffs on your painted piece 🙌💙
Sooo beautiful! Your technique and final product is my favorite. Just a clarification, the sequence of the process, first coat, then clear coat, second coat and meshing? Not clear where you do the clear coat.
Lakshmi Vasudevan ... thank you so much for your kind comment and the video has a lot of detail to take in 😉🎨 The sequence is just base coat with chalk paint and a bit of water (spray) Once dry ( chalk paint dries pretty fast) Apply clear glaze and then chalk paint directly on top! Take the meshing applicator and mesh the blending ! Once your happy with your results wait for everything to dry completely and clear wax finish (dark optional) All done ✅ You may have to blend a few times depending on the the colour contrasts you choose, not problem at all if you are at the steps where you have added clear glaze and paint , meshed blended and not satisfy with your results just yet you can add more clear glaze and a bit of paint and mesh again, it very forgiving that way! I have a few detailed tutorials on my channel about meshing technique and there is also another armoire I did in a Scandinavian Pink tone, it shows a lot of details and a bit slower of a tutorial in sections. Thanks again for your kind words 🙏💙
Saima Faran ... thank you so much for your kind comment 🙏🎨 I have a couple of different styles of the meshing applicator in the description box but there also a tool called “ the Woolie” it is designs for walls to do the meshing technique but you can also use it for furniture as well. I also use a synthetic meshing applicator called “ the water wiz” and you can look on amazon for any these applicators. If you really like the tutorial and not interested in the meshing applicator you can still blend you chalk paint a little easier just using the clear glaze first , add your paint colour design and blend with brushes as well, this way you don’t have to concern about water spraying to achieve the blending 😉. Hope this helps your question and if you any other questions please feel free to contact me anytime 💙
Lynette Johnson ... you are so kind Lynette 🙏💙 thank you so much 💙 Most pieces I find are on the Facebook Marketplace, some are commissioned pieces for others and a few are mine 😉 Selling varies depending on the piece and size, but I also take some to my local Annie Sloan stockiest and they are sold there too 🤗💙
D Burkj ... lol 😂 I didn’t really think 🤔 mentioning the tape at the beginning but I see where you might think 💭 what is the middle all about lol 😆 Thank you so much for your kind feedback 🙏💙💙
I find that even though I am using AS paint with my trusty sprayer, I am often having to put down 3 coats of paint, sometimes more! When I watch you, even the base coat shows great coverage. I've used the chalk paintbrushes both large and small plus the trusty chippy brush. Where am I going wrong?
This is a large project in size but not as complicated as others of this size. Can you finish it in a day. I’m the impatient type. And fear losing the drive if more than two days.
anna zummo ... Hi Anna ☺️ I use the clear glaze in sections, glaze can dry quickly so that is where the extender ( can use in any glaze product) will extend the drying time so you have more working time, just a few drops in the glaze is all you need! It’s not a must have, it is just added help especially with larger furniture pieces 😉💙 The clear glaze and added chalk paint on top can be blending in comfortable time , just recommend small sections 😉🎨 So yes , you clear glaze then add you chalk paint directly on top and blend away! Super fun, easy and much smoother results with leads time 🤗💙
Anita Koch ... thank you so much Anita for your kind comment 🙏💙 The flat chippy brush is fantastic for blending it can be found on amazon. I am pretty sure in it in my description box. I know the pixie belle brushes carry them as well. But for the UK I recommend looking at amazon and search the term “ Flat palm chippy brush”. 😉💙
Thank you so much for your speedy reply but sadly in the UK a chippy brush is not recognised and a palm flat chippy brush doesn’t come up on amazon here. I had many sites come up with fish and chip shops which is certainly not what I wanted!! Amazon on your link has none in stock. Do you have any other ideas as to how I can get hold of these. Many thanks.
Leona Lewis ... Hi Leona 💙🎨 Stencils can be purchased at any art shops or you can get a fabulous selection on amazon as well! Here is a link that I buy several of my stencils from, you can take a look and see if they ship to UK 🇬🇧www.royaldesignstudio.com
Dixil H ... that’s weird 🤔 it should be on there , another idea is to try amazon and search furniture stencils something exactly like it should easily show up there , plus might be a bit cheaper on amazon 😉💙

Sooo beautiful! Your technique and final product is my favorite. Just a clarification, the sequence of the process, first coat, then clear coat, second coat and meshing? Not clear where you do the clear coat.
Lakshmi Vasudevan ... thank you so much for your kind comment and the video has a lot of detail to take in 😉🎨
The sequence is just base coat with chalk paint and a bit of water (spray)
Once dry ( chalk paint dries pretty fast)
Apply clear glaze and then chalk paint directly on top! Take the meshing applicator and mesh the blending ! Once your happy with your results wait for everything to dry completely and clear wax finish (dark optional)
All done ✅
You may have to blend a few times depending on the the colour contrasts you choose, not problem at all if you are at the steps where you have added clear glaze and paint , meshed blended and not satisfy with your results just yet you can add more clear glaze and a bit of paint and mesh again, it very forgiving that way!

This is a large project in size but not as complicated as others of this size. Can you finish it in a day. I’m the impatient type. And fear losing the drive if more than two days.
Hi Genevieve! yes you can finish this in a day, I have for many of my pieces. What helps is lots of coffee! lol!! ❤️🙏🎨
Did u put the glaze all over furniture all over or in sections. Did u glaze section and then paint with color over it? When did u use extender
anna zummo ... Hi Anna ☺️
I use the clear glaze in sections, glaze can dry quickly so that is where the extender ( can use in any glaze product) will extend the drying time so you have more working time, just a few drops in the glaze is all you need! It’s not a must have, it is just added help especially with larger furniture pieces 😉💙
The clear glaze and added chalk paint on top can be blending in comfortable time , just recommend small sections 😉🎨
So yes , you clear glaze then add you chalk
paint directly on top and blend away! Super fun, easy and much smoother results with leads time 🤗💙
Where do you buy the pro wool blender? It looks so much easier to use to blend than a brush!
Hi Lisa! I have the woolie listed in my Amazon store. The link is in my video description. I hope this helps! 🙏🎨❤️
👍👍👍
Оригинальные идеи интерьера ... thank you so much 🙏💙💙💙
I am intrigued. Where do you get that flat brush? I have searched in the uk and can't find anything like it.
Anita Koch ... thank you so much Anita for your kind comment 🙏💙
The flat chippy brush is fantastic for blending it can be found on amazon. I am pretty sure in it in my description box.
I know the pixie belle brushes carry them as well. But for the UK I recommend looking at amazon and search the term “ Flat palm chippy brush”. 😉💙
Thank you so much for your speedy reply but sadly in the UK a chippy brush is not recognised and a palm flat chippy brush doesn’t come up on amazon here. I had many sites come up with fish and chip shops which is certainly not what I wanted!! Amazon on your link has none in stock. Do you have any other ideas as to how I can get hold of these. Many thanks.
Good evening, I’ve tried to find a meshing applicator and can’t find any. Can you provide a link? Thank you.
Hi Nathalie! Here is a link to my Amazon store which you can find the meshing tool:

Where do I get the stencil or different ones as well. From Leona Lewis, Carmarthen, Wales, UK.
Leona Lewis ... Hi Leona 💙🎨
Stencils can be purchased at any art shops or you can get a fabulous selection on amazon as well!
Here is a link that I buy several of my stencils from, you can take a look and see if they ship to UK 🇬🇧www.royaldesignstudio.com
looked all over royal design studio and can't find that large stencil at all is there a name for it?
Hi maybe they discontinued it. Another source you can go to is hobby lobby. They have a really nice collection of stencils. ❤️🙏🎨
Could you tell me the name of the Stencil? I looked at Royal Design Stencils and couldn't find it
Dixil H ... that’s weird 🤔 it should be on there , another idea is to try amazon and search furniture stencils something exactly like it should easily show up there , plus might be a bit cheaper on amazon 😉💙
Is there a reason why blue is so prevalent in painted furniture?
Hi not sure! 🙏🎨❤️
👍👌👏👏👏😍🌺🙏
It looks very undone. if this is a "look", definitely not for me. 🌸
