CHRISTINA MUSCARI

I’m the creative force behind Pretty Distressed, a full-time YouTuber, and I love bringing hidden treasures to life. I also launched a podcast called Cypress Room with my best friend Meggie.

I’m into DIYs, affordable home decor (think designer dupes), and furniture flips.

I love trying new products and techniques then sharing the experience with you. Sometimes projects go totally sideways before they get good and I like to show all the ups and downs. 

Over 450k YouTube Subscribers

In order to inspire others, you can see all of my projects, the products I use, and how I achieve each look on my YouTube channel.  

I love to show the behind-the-scenes, the successful projects, and the moments of mess that pull together to create a masterpiece.

In 2020, I received a YouTube Silver Creator Award for surpassing 100k subscribers.

I continue to make weekly videos for my channel that has over 29 million lifetime views.

I never went to school as a designer or artist

Despite seeing where I am now, I have no design or artistic background.

I started Pretty Distressed in 2014 as a creative outlet from my day-to-day duties as a stay-at-home mom.  My hope is to continue to inspire others without professional skills or unlimited funds to make their space something to be proud of.

Even after 8 years of refinishing, I still am continuing to learn and grow in the art of flipping.

Other titles I have…
