Dining Room Hutch, part 1

Here is part one of a two part project post.

Why two posts?

Because this piece of furniture is massive (and heavy).

It doesn't appear that large in photos, but trust me, it is.

A few weeks ago I posted about a client who recently

purchased a new lake home.  She came to me requesting

we brighten up some of her existing furniture.

Here is another piece that she dropped off:

She requested it be painted in Annie Sloan's Old White with

light distressing.

Here is how the bottom portion turned out.

I love the original hardware. 

The entire piece looks fantastic. It's a completely different look.

We're nearly finished with the hutch portion of this project. 

I'll post photos in a day or so.

If you know me, you know I'll do whatever it takes to get a

great furniture shot.  Lifting, moving - bring it on.

So . . .  I'm really bummed that

the hutch is too heavy for us to lift onto this cabinet.

On the bright side, two part furniture posts can be fun.

Plus - I'm pregnant - so the lifting ends here.  Until, October.

To be continued!
