{ COTTAGE HUTCH }

i picked up a french provincial hutch
at the flea a few weeks ago
and gave it a sweet cottage look

here she is before
it is painted in chalk paint
louis blue
and details in old white

i added a few birdie knobs
and some vintage shelf paper
(shelf paper is not permanent)
removed the glass
replacing it with chicken wire


smitten!

  9. It turned out so pretty! I'm in the process of finishing up one that is almost the same style. The doors are slightly different. It so much fun to see the same pieces painted in another way.

  11. Hello Hilary! This post got by me when I wasn't looking. OH I LOVE this hutch...love the shape and the chicken wire and the color and little extra touches you added...how sweet!!! That's about the color I'd like to paint my lower cabinets only maybe a bit more gray...love that chalk paint. As I've said more than once...wish we lived closer because I'd be haunting your workshop for treasures to bring home! Have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!
