In fact, Smith and her husband take measures to preserve a historically accurate appearance that hides modern upgrades. Some of these are simple creative hacks, like framing a TV, while others techniques are more technical. Such as creating housing to hide modern appliances and electrical.<\/p>\n<p>In a world full of minimalist modern design, it is refreshing to see someone go so boldly in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever taken design inspiration from your favorite TV show?

This designer, who uses bright colors, groovy shapes and elements, and lots of out-of-the-box designs is not for you.<\/p>\n<p>Emily Rayna was a design student working five jobs and set to graduate when the pandemic hit and derailed her career and graduation plans. This was a low point for her, but she decided to get creative and offered to renovate her parents&#8217; home for as little money as possible. They let her, and she documented the process on TikTok, which showed off her unique designs and DIY skills. As a result, Rayna shot to stardom nearly overnight.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, she&#8217;s been able to keep decorating, building, and inspiring others to take on their own bold designs. She also created her own line of peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is available through RoomMates.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Where to Follow<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Shop Wallpaper Line:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/roommatesdecor.com\/collections\/emily-rayna-peel-and-stick-wallpaper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">RoomMates Emily Rayna Peel And Stick Wallpaper<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Social Media: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/emilyraynadesigns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Pinterest<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100051818984031\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/emilyrayna\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@Emilyrayna\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">TikTok<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC9-cCV4K3qymL2PVybCDJWg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">YouTube<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapchat.com\/add\/emily_rayna\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Snapchat<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#GUIDE\">Back to Guide<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"CHRISTINA-MUSCARI\"><strong>Christina Muscari, Female DIY&#8217;er &amp; Furniture Flipper<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-81445\" src=\"http:\/\/toolsinaction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Female-furniture-flipper-Christina-Muscari.jpg\" alt=\"Female DIY'er and furniture flipper\" width=\"1024\" height=\"728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toolsinaction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Female-furniture-flipper-Christina-Muscari.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/toolsinaction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Female-furniture-flipper-Christina-Muscari-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/toolsinaction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Female-furniture-flipper-Christina-Muscari-250x178.jpg 250w, https:\/\/toolsinaction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Female-furniture-flipper-Christina-Muscari-696x495.jpg 696w, https:\/\/toolsinaction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Female-furniture-flipper-Christina-Muscari-591x420.jpg 591w, https:\/\/toolsinaction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Female-furniture-flipper-Christina-Muscari-100x70.jpg 100w, https:\/\/toolsinaction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Female-furniture-flipper-Christina-Muscari-627x446.jpg 627w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll admit, at this point in the list I was wondering, &#8220;do we really need\u00a0<em>another<\/em> female DIY&#8217;er?&#8221; and called it quits. But then I found Christina Muscari and her unique refinishing work that had to be shared.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of the furniture flippers on this list teach you how to create a modern and high-end look typically through refinishing, painting, and interesting items you can add for detailing. Christina Muscari also shares these tricks of the trade but takes it a step further with truly unique detail and mural work. While many teach you how to use existing products like dowels to add dimension, Muscari teaches you how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C3qyxXlJdzV\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">make your own 3D decals<\/a>. Also, as the business owner of Pretty Distressed, it makes sense that the majority of her flips don&#8217;t strive for a clean modern finish. Instead, she shows followers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C2sZmOrJSqF\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">how to paint wash<\/a> and other techniques that give even new pieces a vintage, rustic, and even ethereal look.<\/p>\n<p>Muscari is busy!
