Reusing your hutch as a buffet! – Tuesday’s Treasures

Hi Friends!

How was your weekend? I hope all is going well! This week, I wanted to share a simple way to update an older hutch. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good hutch makeover, but sometimes a hutch can also be completely transformed by keeping just the bottom of the hutch and turning it into a buffet. It really modernizes the piece and also gives you room above it for some exposed shelves or decor.

Here’s a hutch that we recently redid in that way:

We painted the buffet/dresser with Benjamin Moore’s Simply White. Then we lightly distressed it, sprayed it with a protective clear coat, and added new hardware.  

Doesn’t it look like a complete different piece?

Adding glass knobs made it look so much more farmhouse, chic!

If you want to see how we paint furniture, check out our How to Paint Furniture post.

This buffet/dresser is available to purchase on our website or in our store now, but you can also check out even more new pieces on our For Sale page:
