Hutch Reveal!

I actually think it's supposed to be a bookshelf buuut we'll continue to use it in our kitchen/dining area until I find something else to redo :)))


It was a trial and error run...but on the whole I love it so much more than what it was......I'm enjoying learning as I go and this piece was not one I am too worried about :)

    1. lol..I'm horrible at taking "before" pics...so the top shelves were already off and sanded before I remembered the pic :)
      I just sanded it all down, not all the way just made sure it was all "scratched" and then started painting. I chose "heirloom white" ....then I sanded down the edges for the distressed look but it didn't show as much as I wanted so I wiped on some dark stain just on the edges and covered with a clear coat...I'm just learning as I go but it gives me something interesting to do ;)
