Shabby chic farmhouse hutch

I have been on a roll with furniture this week. I spent the past couple of days painting a maple hutch. It looked pretty good, but personally I am not into dated wood pieces such as this. The before photo I am showing is from the actual Craigslist post I found it on. Apparently they used it as a liquor cabinet. Wonder what they would think of what I have done to it???


I painted it with a very pale blue color and distressed it. The piece is much happier now in it's after state. I don't think it liked being used to house alcohol.

    You find such cool pieces, Lisa! AND...you have such a good eye! I see old furniture and think SOMETHING could be done to make it look better, then I can't think of what to do, so I don't buy it. (Not that I have room to store a bunch of stuff anyway!)

    I love how this turned out!

    Hey Lisa!
    I was given a piece similar to this and just bought chalk paint for it yesterday. I can't wait to paint it. Mine is all wood but looking at yours makes me want to get some seed glass for the doors! Hmmmmm....

    Beautiful would look perfect in my kitchen though I would take the glass out and add chicken wire, I am still on the search for one!!!

    Fantastic! Much better than the outdated stain of the 80's! :-)

    I don't think it liked being stored for alcohol either. I'm sure it appropriates its beautiful new paint job.
