Welcome to Pretty Distressed™. I’m Christina, a full time KZreadr living in Franklin, Tenn. who has a passion for furniture makeovers. I take thrifted pieces of furniture and refinish them into completely new creations.
I love trying new products and techniques and sharing the experience with you. Sometimes projects go really sideways before they get good. And I show you all the ups and downs. Even after 7 years of refinishing, I still have lots to learn.
I love neutral colors and natural wood tones. But I will step out of the box every now and then to push myself to try something bold or ornate.
I’m your biggest cheerleader. Whether you are looking to refinish your own pieces, get into the furniture flipping business or maybe go the influencer route. Thank you so much for being here! And if you just like a good before & after…I’m your girl, too.

6/26/24 2pm California time I want to paint my upright piano from brown to Black and I have to paint inside the house what paint do you recommend
I probably would not have altered the base as you have; but I certainly understand why you did. Speaking of spiders under the base; If you simply install backers in the openings you eliminate future access and it adds support allowing you to then reduce the feet as much as you like. Personally I dislike open undersides on furniture because it's always a cleaning headache. You did a wonderful job on this. I subbed. :)
What about the hutch top? I have a couple i use for dish storage and display??
I was amazed at your video. The fear before your speech is personal, and I would bet it's personal to so many people. But I'm also amazed of all your videos, this one has a smaller number of views than most of your reels. So many are missing the truths you spoke of. And so many are missing the truth (TRUTH ) that God is your pilot and my pilot. HE coaches us, HE enables us, and sometimes HE catches us! What a lovely talk. I'm probably twice your age and I have created for decades starting with quilting in the 1970s, teaching, refinishing, a little painting and furniture creation, even woodworking. Still I'm about to dive back in to refinishing a $40 piece we've had for 10+ years and paint, add architectural details and transfers, and add to our decor. Good job! I'm so glad you said yes to that urge, gladder still that you said yes to God and then experienced the release from a fear that had dogged you for perhaps a long time! Gosh, I hope I meet you someday-- who knows where life will lead each of us! Blessings!
Oh! I got excited when I saw that you were organizing! 😆 Looks Awesome!
Thanks for the tips! Super valuable info!
You don't need a table to stop kids from jumping over the sofa. You need a belt
And my last name has an M in it! And I use Maria, my middle name, now!
There were Lavender Lilacs growing outside my bedroom window when I was growing up. And my flannel blanket had Pansies in various shades of purple! Absolutely do another flip! And I LOVED Transfers when I was growing up!
BEAUTIFUL ❤
Great video! Thanks!
Good job ❤
I think that was brilliant of you to trim away the scallops on the border. I wouldn’t have thought to do that.
What a coincidence! I was watching Christina/ several videos tonight and then found this one-- I've been watching you K.Scott faithfully for "maybe" a week. But what a fiathful week it's been. DH is gone on a consulting job and I'm just surfing the diy furniture painting videos. Some I like, some I like less. But both of you capture what I love to watch! Thank you for this video! Glad to know now you're even friends!
I've just found you and I sure plan to dive into the rest of your videos and dig for your secrets! Thanks for great information and inspirational hour!
I love the vase
True, for me it’s the brush strokes and yes how difficult it is to get. Fusion mineral paint is my new go to now 😊
Did you do something with the top hutch? I'd love to get some ideas...I have a 2 piece hutch that's almost identical to what you bought! Love the ideas!!
It looks beautiful! I dont understand some of these peoples comments. Even if it was an antique it is your business what you do to it.
Gorgeous....I would use in dining room for dishes
Limited sanding and no primer. Easy. Question, how does it hold up to chipping?Thks
I liked the first look too
Beautiful
Wow it looks sooo professional!!!
Just really ugly colors.
Wow! Beautiful! Keep up the good work!
I want that hardware storage for that store that would be awesome for your craft room
I love all❤❤❤
After is much better
Wonderful!!!
Definitely do more!
What is the name of the color? I like it a lot.
I just don’t care for painted furniture. 😅
What are your plans for the selving that came with this mini hutch ?
Wow Amazing
I love this! You have given me some ideas for some pieces that none of the family wants.
Great job.
Wow…this looks exactly like my late mom’s piece. Did you ever find the previous owner? What state are you in?
Hello I love your videos! If I wanted to sand my wood bureau before painting, can I? The bureau is in need of a sanding for some uneven surfaces.
The way I see it, to each their own. Some people like painted furniture, & some don't. Both sides are OK. Personal preference. The world would be boring if everyone like & disliked the same things!
I love that Hutch & my mother had one just like it. If I had room and needed it I would have bought it!
Your ideal will help a lot of mothers, ❤
Wow! Stunning! And so nicely filmed, thank you 😊
Gorgeous
Dates? Yes. Are we supposed to continually buy new furniture to keep up with changing tastes? Why not buy classic furniture that will be in good taste always? When money is short, shop estate sales.
Hi what diameter tip are you using for water based poly ?
Great job and you made it seem so easy . I really liked how you converted the dated piece. Love it🙏
So, so cute. Adorable… and I’m so happy for that little old hutch!! ❤❤ And it’s beautiful and classy the way you showed it as other uses. I love the new legs btw !
First time watching… You made that old, tired piece of furniture look great! I can tell you’re creative. Looking forward to more content. I have a very similar piece that I recently picked up at resale store. Bottom is identical to yours. The top piece is more like a cupboard with 2 doors of glass. Would love to see how you’d do this. I’m stumped.
I like the painted hinges.
