People always ask me where I find my furniture and to be honest there is no perfect spot. I watch the local classifieds, but most of the time they frustrate me, I feel like I am fighting or jumping through hoops to get a piece and with 3 young kids I don’t always have time to do that. I love to look at garage sales and thrift stores, but my favorite is when someone calls me with an awesome piece they are getting rid of like this one!
I wanted to keep the original pulls to this piece. Look, at the details and elegance of them. They were a bit worn an dirty, so I used a scrubber and soap and water to clean them up. After they were cleaned up I spray painted them with Rustoleums Metallic Gold. I did replace the knobs with some old vintage knobs I had. I sprayed them as well to match.
I am on the fence about selling this hutch. I have tired to find a place to put her but I can’t seem to find the perfect fit but I can’t convince myself to give her up just yet. So until them she will stay in my craft room and I will enjoy looking at her beauty!!
