Another Project!!

I've been looking for a Hutch/Curio type thing for my kitchen for probably a year. Once again I won't afford what I REALLY want so every once in awhile I check KSL. I found this beauty for $50!!!! My hubby didn't think it would work......... It was missing a corner and was pretty scratched up. Really dusty and old and broken glass, rusted out hardware and some water damage but I liked the basic shape of it and knew it could work with some lovin.








A month later it is finally in my kitchen and the hubby agrees it looks great!! He did all the patching of the corner and scratches, I took the top and sanded and painted it, he took the bottom and sanded and painted it. Then after we got the paint all looking great I took after it with a big sandblock and ruffed it up. Always feels weird to 'mess up' a good paint job :)


I made a trip to Hobby Lobby and found these super cool new nobs, love them! Some are white and some are brown but they work, right. The non matching...matching idea?









We bought new glass, cleaned and spray painted the hinges and voila! It is more sanded and rough looking, it just didn't how in the picture as much.














Thank you hubby for all your hard work. I promise to take a few days before I look on KSL again :) Maybe

Looks great! I love repurposing furniture and customizing my home with paint...so inexpensive and yet makes such a difference. Can't wait to see your next project!
