The After of the repainted hutch

Uhm, not my finest photo, but isn’t the hutch looking good? 

Sissy is officially moved out of her cute, beachy cottage and into her new home.  She is still decorating and setting up, but has a strong vibe going, a delicious color theme, and most of her furniture in place.  We worked on some unpacking and arranging while I was there.  Then we realized just how ideally mom’s hutch would fit into her dining area.  But the pastel roses on it would not.

We had some kind volunteers deliver it, then headed to Hobby Lobby for paint and new knobs.

We used her TV stand as an inspiration, but didn’t want quite that much going on, so left the hutch the overall color it already was and only painted the doors and trim in this style.

 
My original paint on the top had a green tint and scroll design, the back of the cabinet was that same green.  It blended well with the changes we made.

I treated the cabinet doors to the same green before adding flowers.

The framing was touched up with bright gold Rub n’ Buff.

This is a photo she sent to me after she started adding her pretties to the shelves.  

I think the piece is going to match her style very nicely.

In case you missed the before photos from my previous post, here is one of the pastel, floral doors I had painted about 20 years ago.  I hadn’t seen the hutch in a very long time, and was pleased to find that I was still happy with it.  Sometimes, art from the past makes me cringe, but luckily, I still loved this one.

Unluckily, that made it harder to paint over.  But once I got going I was fine, and happy with how it turned out.  Sissy has a gorgeous home and I’m glad to be a part of the over all look.
