Hi!! How’s 2014 treating you all so far? I feel like it’s been a month since last week’s Tuesday’s Treasures. I flew out to Michigan to help my friend Sarah pick paint colors and decorations for her new home. And we did some rearranging to make better use of her space and add visual interest. It was a wintery fairyland out there. Snow welcomed me on Saturday and didn’t stop until Wednesday… the day I was supposed to leave. Seeing Sarah made all of the travel hoopla and freezing cold weather worth while.
Since I was away longer than expected, I’m keeping this week’s Tuesday’s Treasures on the shorter side. :)
Jessica and Brent stopped over to look at a hutch we had on our for sale page. When they came I found out that she wanted to use it for a library so off we went to the barn to show them this hutch which seemed like it could become more library”esque” than the hutch that was for sale. Here it was before.
First we removed the top doors and filled in the holes where the hinges once were. Then we removed the back to paint it with Benjamin Moore’s Split Pea 2146-30. The main part of the hutch we painted with Benjamin Moore’s Jade garden 2056-20 and then glazed with Valspar’s antiquing glaze.
We also filled the holes from the original handles and bought these beauties from Home Depot. 
The hardware, color choice and finish were meant to give this piece a modern feel with an Asian flair. My camera broke while photographing this hutch so the pictures don’t even do it justice. We also installed lighting in the top to give an extra pop of visual interest for their in-home library.
Thank you for checking out our site. I’ll be adding quite a few new pieces to our Furniture For Sale page this week so keep an eye out!
Happy redesigns everyone,
Sarah ;)
