Another Mustard China Hutch...

I guess I wasn't the only one in the mood for yellow!  This is a custom order and it came to me looking like this...

 I love all the great detail on this beautiful piece of furniture.  I added beadboard and some new knobs and that's all it really needed besides a cleaning and some paint!

 Isn't this little door awesome?  And the little corbels below the ledge?

 The worst thing about doing custom work is that I don't have the option of keeping it!!! Bummer!

It's really hard for me to narrow down the pictures because I just want to highlight every square inch of this great detail.  AND the lucky girl said this hutch was given to her! Hope she loves it as much as I do!

China Hutch Surgery

I decided to rip all the details off this baby in order to update it! I WISH I would have gotten better before pictures!

 This is the crappy finish that I had to sand off the whole thing.

 I can't find the before picture of the bottom...this is after sanding.  The drawers had this funky swirly design that I puttied over.

 This is after some reconstructive surgery.  I added moulding in 4 different places and none of it matched. It was all stuff I had on hand.  I couldn't remove the shelf for wine glasses, so I added a shelf on top and a piece of moulding. 

I was in the mood for yellow, so I painted it a mustard color and distressed and glazed it.  Dang, I wish I had a place for this in my house!

 The handles and dresser top look black, but they're actually a dark brown with a black glaze.  They look gorgeous with the green.

 I'm a little hesitant to show the before of this piece.  It's pretty bad.  Like hideous & gross, but I don't want the previous shape to keep someone from buying it.  I gave it a good bath before the refinish started.
