I can mark another project off my list now. I finished the hutch I purchased a few weeks back. |
Here is the before pic and honestly it was just fine the way it was but I had a different vision for it. |
The Hubster kindly helped me take out the top shelf because I knew I was going to want to do taller displays. |
The back was originally going to stay wood but one thing led to another and it got painted and distressed. Even though painting the back was not in my original vision I really like how it turned out. |
I really do not regret one bit knocking that shelf out. |
I always try and save the original hardware.They help make the piece I think. |
I have already started the process of taking our buffet out of the dining room to make room for the finished hutch. I will be sure to share once it is all set up. |
I am crossing my fingers it will look good in our dining room because I just love it!

Id love to know the steps in creating this look. I have a very smilar piece but I am overwhelmed just by thinking about how much work it will be.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE LOVE what you did with this piece and I'm going to be on the lookout for something similar. Thank you for the inspiration. Simply charming and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love it too! I love the way you left the doors wood and painted the rest of the cabinet. If you want another change down the road you can then paint the doors too! Love, love, love it!
ReplyDeleteYou really did a great job redoing this piece! Beautiful! I have to ask, though, how did you remove that shelf? Did you take a hammer and just bang it out, then putty up the holes? I have a similar cabinet I would like to try this on. You really do have an eye for things. It was such a great idea!
