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!

    Hi, I'm a new follower and found you through furniture feature friday! I have a large hutch very similar to this one that I want to repaint. You've inspired me to go a bit bolder in my color choices. : ) I'm starting a new party tomorrow: Frugal Treasures Tuesday! Hope you'll stop by and share this post! : )
