Hi Friends!
How are you? I’m super psyched that the snow is beginning to melt and the brown grass is peeking through. I was convinced my husband’s nose would never not look like Rudolph’s again from working in freezing temps all day long. Projects are going well, you all are buying our designs and for that, I am excited! Thank you!!
Another big announcement is that we were asked to design a room in the Vanguard Showhouse that will be opening at the end of April. We’re designing custom pieces and some will be made out of repurposed parts of old homes that were torn down in Albany. I am excited about this opportunity to completely transform a space in this house and I can’t wait to show you some of furnishings and decorative details we create.
Today’s transformation is classic. I usually try to post designs that I love that aren’t as commonplace but, it’s always good to be reminded of timeless beauties that I adore, too!
Here’s the hutch before:
The size of this hutch is perfect. Not too big, not too small. It’s solid wood, but man it needed some updating. The glass is the first ugly thing that caught my eye so we had new glass cut for the top doors. Up next would be the hardware… it had to go and I went with a more “Stickly-like” drawer pulls that can stand the test of time.
We tried a new black paint and were pleasantly surprised by how well it worked.
If you’d like to see how we paint furniture, check out our How to Paint Furniture post. We lightly distressed all of the edges to show some of the wood through the black as well.
Here’s the transformation for you!!
This hutch is also for sale!!! Check out our Furniture For Sale page for size and pricing info. Happy funcycling friends!

Sarah, is this hutch still available? I’m very interested!
