Yesterday I showed you Bubba and Anna’s hutch.
I removed all the hardware . . .
. . . sprayed on some primer.
I then started spraying it black. (with my paint sprayer) I sprayed several light coats.
This is after the first coat.
I lightly sand and wipe down between coats. (220 grit sandpaper)
Oops, I got a little bit of a run.
I sanded it back to primer.
This is what I used-my trusty
Purdy paint brush, a foam roller, and a sanding sponge. You can see my Rockler Bench Cookies hiding under the cupboard door.
I sprayed a couple of coats on the back because I knew that Bubba and Anna will be able to see the side of the hutch every time the turn the light on or off in their kitchen.
After two coats of spraying, I switched to rolling the horizontal surfaces for better coverage and protection.
I spray painted the hinges and knobs with the new paint from Krylon—Dual, paint and primer in one. The Dual paint did a great job on this hardware! You should try it out.
I then had to touch up the screw heads with some of the paint I used on the hutch.
It is really difficult to get a good picture of a black piece of furniture. (there is so much glare) I threw a sheet over it after this point, stored it, and never took any after pictures! (the screw heads are not painted in this picture)
This is where the hutch is now. After the wedding, Anna will be moving into Bubba’s condo, that has a very small kitchen. They really needed this hutch for extra storage. You can see how nice the hardware looks in this picture.
Anna sent me these pictures from her phone. She will send me more pictures when they get settled in. You can see they wanted it to be black so that it matches their pub style table, a gift from Aunt Gail a few years ago. 
I love these kids, and I wish them many happy years (and lots of young’uns). Bubba is more like a son to me than a nephew!

Beautiful job! I have the "twin" to this hutch -- it was my mother's. Only difference is that it has one long drawer at the top, rather than 2 smaller ones, and the doors are not quite as "decorative". I also have the matching table, and 1 of the chairs (the others have disintegrated...). I hope to someday get mine refinished. It was great seeing how nice mine could possibly look someday!! 😉
Crystal @ Ordinary Days
This turned out gorgeous! I knew it would. 🙂

What is the color and type of paint that you used on this? I love it. It is the perfect finish and color.
Suzanne@Meridian Road
It's gorgeous! It was kind of outdated looking in the original finish, but you made it look so good! The finish looks flawless!

You did a fab job. That is a lovely piece they will get a lot of use out of it thanks to you. Hugs Trish

You had me fooled too! I love it in black. I know black paint is hard to paint with, shows everything, but darn it looks good when you are done. I can just imagine white dishes displayed in this cabinet. It is a perfect size for a small space, what a great Aunt Gail you are!
Terri
Another AMAZING transformation (I find myself using that word a lot here)! Loves me some black furniture...I just don't think you can go wrong with it! I bet they were tickled "pink"!!

Can I fly you out here. I have a very similar hutch with a very similar idea for it...but cannot seem to get my behind in gear! Beautiful!
Korrie@RedHenHome

aaaamaaazing! Black is not one of my faves for my furniture, since you can see every little speckle of dust on it, but to admire pretty in other peoples houses is different!
Shelly @A Creative Space
Looks awesome. They are so lucky that you just cranked this out, piece of cake! That's what you make it look like, anyway. 🙂
Cassie @ Primitive & Proper

It looks great! Love the black, but then I am partial to it on furniture. I love how you even share your oops moments. I love to spray things, but sometimes rolling/brushing it on works even better!

Gosh that turned out great. Kinda makes me want to paint mine except Hubby would have a fit. LOL
I know Anna and Bubba will really enjoy using it.
Congratulations and best wishes to them on their marrige.
