Renovation updates...Grandma's Hutch!!

This crew has been making our way around the house doing updates.  There is a big post coming on the boys room. In the meantime...here's one we recently made.

First up...Grandma's Ethan Allen Hutch

My Grandma has been wanting to see her hutch make it's way to our house for years.  After some renovations at her house that required furniture be moved out, the hutch came here to find a new home. It sat untouched for several months because of all that we had going on with the boys room renovations.  But we finally got to updating the way I wanted!  And it turned out even better than I pictured!

The whole process took two days and about $150 for paint, hardware and the liner in the drawers. Hardware was the most expensive part. But I could not love it more.  And the best part for me is that it's a family piece brought back to life.  And I finally have a beautiful place to display my pottery (all which my grandma bought for me!).  It's sentimental and special! My only regret was that it took so long to do it!  We've even discussed installing some lighting.  I think this would be a wonderful finishing touch!

Some before and in-progress:

We used a primer called Gripper. It allows you to paint things like glass, plastic and wood without having to do any major sanding.  This saved us time, sweat and honestly from ruining the smooth finish of the wood.

Here it is all painted and filled, but no hardware.  We made a special trip to Home Depot for this and the result was awesome!!

Hardware in place.

 I also lined the drawers with a shelf liner I found at Target.

 Some details:

We also painted our buffet to match.  Hardware matches as well.  A touch I am so happy we decided on.  The room flows together better now!
