My nephew Bubba is about to get married to the love of his life, Anna. They are such a sweet couple, and I’m so happy for them. They are trying to turn Bubba’s bachelor pad into a home that reflects both of their personalities. Anna loves to cook and bake, therefore she has a lot of cookware and needs a place to store all of her things. Bubba had his eye on this hutch for almost a year at a local Peddler’s Mall. He and Anna finally decided to give it a new home.
I had to put it on a furniture mover (with plywood) so that I could maneuver it around during the many stages of it’s makeover.
The hutch was basically in great shape, but the color is all wrong for their kitchen.
I cleaned it out.
I gave it a light sanding all over.
I sanded the top really well so that I could get a nice coat of paint on it. When I sand heavily I use my blower to remove the bulk of the dust, then I wiped it down.
I used some of my favorite Scotch Blue Painter’s Tape to tape of the drawer with newspaper.
I also taped off the opening to the drawer.
I removed ALL of the hardware.
I used my Harbor Freight Sprayer to prime the hutch.
Bubba and Anna saw it with the primer on it and liked it a lot better already. What color do you think this hutch wants to be? Check back tomorrow for the rest of the story.

June 30, 2011 at 12:27 amWHAT!?! Wait? No fair! My guess is that you will have some kind of wording or numbers added to it. 🙂

June 29, 2011 at 9:17 pmI think it already looks nice in the cream, but it really depends on what color their kitchen is. I think a muted tone is best for this style of hutch though 🙂
You should offer classes! If you weren’t on the wrong side of the country I’d sign up!

June 29, 2011 at 6:13 pmHmmm… well, since you primed it with a white color…I’m guessing you’re going with White- or pale blue or green?
I can’t wait to see it finished either way, it’s going to look great!
Bubba and Anna are so lucky to have an Aunt Gail with such talent!

June 29, 2011 at 2:25 pmI think everything should be aqua, so that’s what I’m going to guess.

June 29, 2011 at 2:07 pmI just found your blog the other day, and I can’t wait to see what comes of this hutch! I have one from the 70s that I was going to sell, because I have no use for it, but now you have me thinking to do something with it! I might even put it in the bathroom of my new home and use it for linens 🙂

June 29, 2011 at 2:05 pmTypically I am a huge fan of “black” (which you might know from a lot of my projects), but I am going to say “red” again for this one. I’m sure that is not what was chosen, but it would be fun, wouldn’t it?! I love “hutch” transformations! Can’t wait to see the finished project!

June 29, 2011 at 1:10 pmI don’t know what color it should be, but I know it’s the cutest thing ever! I love the structure of it. I just know it’s going to be adorable when you get finished with it. 🙂

You give me so many great ideas… oh if only I had the time to put them to good use!
