In Love - New Hutch

So, I have finally finished up my hutch project and couldn't be happier with the final result.  I ended up putting it in my foyer and I love it!!!

Here is the piece before...my husband bought it for me as an early birthday gift, after I found it at one of our local antique/thrift stores.  It was marked down from $180 to $90, and it is a solid piece from the 1930s. 






















The paint job was terrible - big globs of paint and wood showing through in some areas.  It was a minty green color.  I sanded it (forevah!), then painted it with 2 coats of Behr Paint and Primer in One in Bird's Egg (which is a Benjamin Moore color).   I spray painted the hardware with Rustoleum Satin Nickel, and here is the after...


























I drilled a small hole in the back (and yes, I plan on covering it with some type of dish so it doesn't stand out) so I could have a lamp inside and accessorized with my milk glass and pewter dishes. Close-up shots...






















And some pictures at night...some are blurry, sorry...

And after...
























Thanks for stopping by! Stay tuned for my playroom makeover, that my mom and I recently worked on, and some new additions to my son's big boy room!
