China Hutch Fix-up with Annie Sloan

I bought this cute little china hutch packed with potential on Craig’s list a couple of months ago because I needed something small for my dining room.  It’s a little shorter than I’d like it to be but I plan to fix that by finding some cute little legs, so this re-do is not quite complete yet. But here it is so far. 

It went from this:

china hutch makeover (note:  I updated this post with the picture above to show the final reveal of the hutch after adding some furniture legs.  To read the full post on adding legs to furniture, click here.) 
 

I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old Violet and clear wax.  I LOVE this paint!  It was my first time using it, so I didn’t get fancy.  I just wanted to see how it works and I really, really liked it.  It seems like there are a lot of possibilities with it, so I’m anxious to try it again.

 
 
 
 
I also used “beadboard” wallpaper on the inside back of the piece.  This was also a first-time for me.  It’s very subtle, but definitely more interesting than the plain old wood backing.
 

So, there you have it…my simple little china hutch. (Wow — my silver is tarnished!  Yikes…better start polishing!)

I Can’t wait to get some cute little legs to add some height and character!

    Wow! I love what you did to this little hutch! Love the color and the white insides. I have a little wooden hutch in my breakfast room and I’ve been thinking about painting it and you’re helping me to gear up for it!
    Be a sweetie,
