The hutch is finally done!

The hutch we purchased for $50 off craigslist last yr has finally been refinished! With the move to Iowa and the cold weather, we havent had the opportunity (or desire really he he) to haul it out to the garage and get to workin'

Before


I sanded the top all the way to a smooth bare wood. Then i stained it with a stain i purchased at the Habitat for Humanity Restore for like $3/gallon. I know i didnt do it right because I didnt wipe it off, but thats the only way i could get the desired color. Its a bit blotchy in some places, but it looks just fine.

The white was just spray painted on with Kiltz primer, and then sanded lightly and clear coated. I then roughed up the edges and antiqued it a bit here and there. The knobs were spray painted with black "metal" spray paint. The whole project only took about a week (because the stain took forever to dry)
