Big Black Hutch on Tuesday’s Treasures

What could be better than a lighted hutch -a huge lighted hutch painted black and distressed to give it just the right feel? Yes indeed, you’re right! This is my first ever black hutch. This hutch may look average size, but it is about 7 feet tall, no small task! I stopped by Joe and Sarah’s house to see how their other black furniture looked so I could make this fit right in. They had the perfect wall for it and in the end it all came together so perfectly.

So here she is before:

We did this one a little differently because the other furniture that they had didn’t have any primer underneath. Just black paint distressed to show the wood. We sanded this hutch down really well and painted it black right onto the wood using our air sprayer. Then, I distressed all of the black to show through the wood. Oh, and a word to the wise… take the glass shelves out when you transport a hutch. We didn’t and both shelves shattered… to replace them was almost $100. Now that’ll hurt the pocket. I didn’t anticipate that it would be so expensive to replace the two shelves. Live and learn. ;)

Also, I repainted the knobs with Rustoleum’s Hammered Bronze spray paint, but I didn’t really like them so I repainted using Hammered Black and I LOVED them.

Are you ready for the after pictures?? Oh did you know how hard it is to get good pictures of black furniture? Thanks to my amazing brother Jesse, I have a new camera. It makes photoing black furniture much easier. You’re the best, Jesse!!! Thank you so much!!
