Jen over a Sancturay Arts is having a "Make over party", so here is one of our best to date make overs.
My in-laws are avid rummagers and found a hutch similar to the one above for $70.00. While I was over at their house one day, I spied it in their garage. They had no plans for it, they just bought it in case someone needed one or were going to re-sell it when they has a sale. They thought I was nuts because I wanted to paint it. It was too nice of wood to paint they told me, but I knew it would be great painted.
After much discussion, I talked my husband into tackling the project. Sometimes he just doesn't get the vision that I do when I see something.
We took out the back and replaced it with bead board. Then we removed the glass and put wire screening in the door openings. Painted it all cream, added new hadware and distressed. For around $150.00 total, we have a pretty great looking piece of furniture.
