Vintage China Hutch

This project is a vintage china hutch that I purchased at a local thrift store. It was in fairly good condition with the exception of some chips and missing veneer which I filled in with wood filler.

I painted the exterior in Gesso White matte finish paint by Jolie (affiliate link). I had a small amount of Provence Blue chalk paint leftover and used that for the interior for a bright pop of color. The Jolie Brand equivalent can be found HERE. I sealed the paint with clear wax.

I paint a lot of furniture, but I am still amazed at what a difference paint makes!

I painted the orginal hardware and added light distressing to the paint.

I chose a bright pop of color for the interior as it works as a beautiful backdrop for neutral dishware.

Add a pop of bright color to the interior!

The exterior is Gesso White and the interior is Provence Blue.

This hutch doesn't have a large footprint, but it does offer lots of storage with two additional shelves in the bottom.

Loads of storage inside!

I purchased the artificial tulips on Amazon for staging, but I also use them personally in my home to brighten up my decor. The dark pink are my favorite color, but the seller also offers a variety of other colors. (You can also see the tulips feature in this article HERE.)

Spring tulips lighten my spirit and brighten up my home.

If you're thinking about updating your decor to something lighter and brighter, consider painting a piece or two before buying new. 

If you're thinking about transforming your furniture then I recommend starting with a small project first. You can test out the Jolie paint with a gift set that includes the products you'll need without spending a lot of money. Links to the colors I used for this project follow:
