Drab Colonial Hutch gets a "Tiffany" makeover!!!!!!

 I purchased this china hutch months ago at Hope Thrift.

 I removed that ugly little eagle at the top.

Then I painted the back of the hutch top in a mixture of chalk paints:

Maison Blanche Peacock and Annie Sloan Old White.

 I painted the remainder in Annie Sloan Old White.

Then I added some Lime Wax in Grey over the back.

 

And then it lived in my living room for months,

unfinished.

 Last week, I finally pulled it out, 

and did some distress sanding.

 You'll notice when I painted it, 

I just painted it all: hinges,

knobs, etc.

 Next, I waxed the entire piece with clear and dark waxes,

building up the look of age.

 I love this color combo….

Like a Tiffany box!

 It's all done.

In the car it goes.

 And here it is in my booth at Greenwood Antiques.

Makes a great display piece..

But wouldn't you know it...

sold in a day!

Oh well…

They come, they go.

You'll be seeing this color combo again. 

Cause it just makes me happy!

Have a piece of furniture to paint?
