Before & After - Grandma's Hutch to Favorite Hutch!

I wanted a hutch for a large wall in my kitchen but I didn't want to spend a fortune. I found this hutch on Craigslist and thought it had potential. While the etched glass was nice on its own, it didn't fit into the vision I had for this piece. So I removed the glass, painted, distressed it, waxed it, and added a few special touches...
The "Before"
I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Graphite and dark wax. I used Annie Sloan Duck Egg and clear wax for the inside of the cabinets. There was some sweat and blood involved with the chicken wire, but I prevailed! I'm really happy with how it turned out and it has become one of my favorite pieces.
Enjoyed the project?

Deb Harrison on Oct 06, 2016I love the chicken wire! It's definitely "in" now in an Industrial Farmhouse decor! Did u use glass as well or just the wire?
