Small China Hutch Gets a Big Update

 

Have you ever had those things you just can't part with but you just don't love anymore? Take this small hutch for example: good solid wood, nice bones but before it got a paint updated, it looked like this.....

She looks like she's given the best years of her life to someone and she's ready to retire, right?

 

Not quite! We added Maison Blanche's Wrought Iron to her shell and stripped and re-stained her top for some contrast.

 

Some light distressing on her edges just to keep things interesting and to remind you, she's knows what she's doing. This isn't her first time at the rodeo!

 

 

Add to that some fresh new hardware and she's better than new and happily settled in to her new home!

An Outdated Dresser gets a TV Console Update

This old dresser. <---- That should totally be a show on HGTV or something.

Anyway, this old dresser had been hacked off at the bottom. Not really sure what was there before, maybe legs? But it was definitely missing something. The molding you see on it below wasn't there when she brought it to us and the top was the same color as the bottom.

Ok. You got us. We get too excited to remember to take before pictures so this is actually a "during". Busted.

Since our client wanted something to put her TV on in her living room she didn't want it too high but she also wanted something that she could easily clean beneath.

In addition to adding new legs and molding to the bottom we also applied a fresh coat of paint in Creme' de Menthe from the Maison Blanche Paint Company. It is such a delicious shade of green.

A freshly stripped and re-stained top, a little distressing and whole lotta character. She might "just be a TV stand" but I'm betting she gets more attention than the TV!
