Better After reader Sarah sent in this little hutch that had seen better days. Days when you could pass off a puff-painted design as “stained glass,” and then try to pass that mess off as “decor.” Those weren’t better days at all! What is that “artwork” supposed to be anyway, tulips? It looks like mutant corn.
Well, that’s all thankfully in the past, because Sarah fixed it up nicely with fresh paint and a stencil design that doesn’t bring to mind diseased vegetation. Great job Sarah!

July 17, 2012 at 3:04 AMWow! I have the exact same little hutch and I have been working on it just this morning. I used a paint technique I learned at http://bec4-beyondthepicketfence.blogspot.com/
I am thinking of using a favorite scrapbook paper on the little windows. Luckily the plastic windows slip right out and one side is completely flat.
