Spring Break Project: Hutch

This hutch was given to us FREE from my mom and dad. It didn't match the dark wood in our home and I have been wanting to paint it for a while now. I finally had my chance and I have to say I LOVE it now! Here are the before and after pics. I still don't love the carvings in the wood, but I plan on buying some finial pieces to glue onto it to hide those and make it more updated. I painted it the green color and then applied the dark stain on top. My goal is to display my great grandmother's beautiful china and as you can see, it will match perfectly. I am also very relieved that our front room no longer looks like a Liquor-Rama! :-)
