Super Cute Hutch Tranformation

March 28, 2014 by not your average mom Leave a Comment

A friend gave me this hutch a few months ago.

She had been using it in her son’s room, but he had outgrown it and she didn’t want it anymore.

It’s a cute little piece, but that knotty pine isn’t for everyone.

I gave it to my dad and he got right to work.

I asked him to get rid of the pegs at the top.

He filled the holes and then primed the whole thing.

I asked him to paint the back of the hutch blue and the rest of it white.

I didn’t like the hinges but didn’t want to buy new ones.

I asked him to paint right over them…I wanted to give it an aged look, and that would help.

We switched out the knobs for plain white ones.

Then, using sandpaper, I distressed the edges, corners, and areas where it naturally would have had some wear and tear.

It turned out great!
