Over the summer I bought a sad looking china hutch from none other than CRAIGSLIST!!!
Solid Maple= score!
Excellent Condition= arguable, but score!
I knew that I was going to be painting whatever I bought so I didn't really care if it needed a little love. I also knew that I didn't want to spend alot of money especially if the piece was going to require some work.
Here is the before pic....
I ask that you notice the awesome gold etching on the glass. Who doesn't love some sweet gold criss crosses??!! This girl that's who. Needless to say those went bye-bye. Easy as scraping off with a flat razor. Next, I went over the whole thing with some sand paper to rough it up. Then a coat of Killz primer followed by a coat of country white to freshen up the look. I switched out the sad, dated hardware and re-hung the glass doors and VOILA!
A new to me hutch for the dining area!
Hutch-$80
Paint- $15
Hardware= $12
Total= $107
I'm cool with spending a hundred bucks on something that I am really happy with. The whole project took a few hours to do. Well worth it in my opinion!
i like the wine rack on top. a very classy touch. haha
