MEET THE INSTRUCTOR

Christina Muscari

Je suis Christina Muscari de Pretty Distressed. Je peins et rénove des meubles pour mon propre plaisir, pour mes clients et je les mets à la ventedepuis plus de 7 ans. Je suis une “artiste de meubles”, c’est à dire que je récupère de vieux meubles qui encombrent ma maison ou les brocanteset je les transforme en nouvelles créations avec de la peinture pour meubles. Je gère une chaîne YouTube avec plus de 8 millions de vues de mes tutoriels de relooking de meubles.

En 2020, je suis devenue une lauréate YouTube Silver Creator après avoir accumulé plus de 100.000 abonnés sur ma chaîne. J’ai montré à des novices comment transformer leurs vieux meubles et en faire de beaux objets pour leurs maisons. Je crois sincèrement que n’importe qui peut peindre des meubles et transformer son espace en un bel endroit où il fait bon vivre.
