Han found this hutch at a used furniture store for $85. That’s a great deal considering how she can sell it for way more now that it’s all beautiful and stuff.
I shudder to think of the time when that gold trellis design was in style, or “groovy” or “keen” or “neato” depending on how far back in time we actually need to go. Looks so much more open now without it. Thanks Han!

September 1, 2010 at 10:48 PMThis is nice! I’m currently refinishing a credenza (I should have it wrapped up this weekend) and I was thinking about painting it a similar color- love it!!!! Nice job! Big fan of the green accent piece inside too!

September 2, 2010 at 3:37 AMThanks for the nice comments everyone! And thank you Lindsey for posting my hutch makeover– I’m super proud of it! And as far as the color goes, I tried to get as close as I could to a Tiffany blue.
southerinspirationsblog: I used one of those razor blade scrapers on a sturdy handle, you can find them at hardware stores (at my store they were near the sandpaper)

September 3, 2010 at 3:49 AMIts not that expensive to replace the glass either. I never would’ve thought to scrape it off; but just my luck I would scratch it.
