Terry H on Jan 04, 2015I like the idea of chalk pain and chicken wire...but after paining, while the paint is still wet you can wipe some paint away in areas with a dry brush....gives it a more aged patina...Helpful Reply

Tracy W on Jan 04, 2015A light grey paint would be really pretty. Once dry you could lightly sand and distress the edges for a great look.Helpful Reply

Aileen on Jan 04, 2015Definitely agree with the chalk paint - milk paint works well too. To add to the suggestion of losing the mirror and painting the back, wallpaper is great in this application too and you don't even need a whole roll - so you can pick up a clearance roll or a one-off!Helpful Reply

Gail Peck on Jan 06, 2015So glad you asked this question. I am considering changing my hutch that is close to 100 years old. It is in great shape but it needs a make over. I plan to wallpaper the inside of the back and change the hardware. I would like to paint it but I cannot envision it yet. Any recommended sites with images/pictures that might give me ideas?Helpful Reply

Jane spencer on Jan 06, 2015I have a hutch very similar which I painted white and distressed. I reversed the doors so that the hutch remains open with the outside of the doors permanently showing. It is a beautiful piece now and doesnt have a dated look.Helpful Reply
