    Yesterday I showed you Bubba and Anna’s hutch.

    vintage hutch makeover

    100_9961
    I removed all the hardware  . . .

    100_9996
    . . . sprayed on some primer.

    paint vintage hutch black
    I then started spraying it black. (with my paint sprayer)  I sprayed several light coats.

    100_9185
    This is after the first coat.

    100_9188
    I lightly sand and wipe down between coats. (220 grit sandpaper)

    100_9190
    Oops, I got a little bit of a run.

    100_9194
    I sanded it back to primer.

    100_9252
    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.

    100_9253
    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.

    100_9255
    After two coats of spraying, I switched to rolling the horizontal surfaces for better coverage and protection.

    100_9476
    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.

    100_9534

    I then had to touch up the screw heads with some of the paint I used on the hutch.

    100_9477
    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)

    new look for old vintage hutch
    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.

    vintage hutch new black paint
    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. Smile  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!! 😉

      What is the color and type of paint that you used on this? I love it. It is the perfect finish and color.

      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 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!

      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!

      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!
