It’s an Island Life for Me ~ A China Hutch Story

Pin It

Would it surprise you if I told you this beauty is busy living an island life right now? I thought not. Gosh, could you image having this gorgeous china hutch at your next dinner party or just to stare at lovingly every single day!

I’m aware that the before and after may not be that fascinating. I really wish I’d taken more during pictures. The thing with this piece is it had been “redone” before. Only the doors and drawers were still in their original state. Unfortunately it was a mess. When it was refinished it wasn’t wiped down after sanding and you could see the dirt bubbles trapped under the paint. And since it was done with a sprayer, there were many, many drips here and there. So I stripped her bare and started all over again…

And that was a major job, let me tell you! But it was well worth it!

I used a similar off white but this time a more neutral one. The previous one had too many red/pink undertones. This color, appropriately enough, is call Caribbean White Walk. Isn’t it fitting?

Added new hardware. I am obsessed with cup pulls! They are so simple but make such an amazing difference!

A very light and lovely distressing and she’s ready for the beach!

      Honestly prep work differs with each piece I do, the condition it’s in, what I want it to look like, etc. And I use a wide variety of paints. This one is from Lowes.

    Do you sand the whole piece of furniture when distressing?
