I saved this recipe. :) -
Beautiful!!! I have a 70s hutch much like this one that I am growing weary of because it is so big it darkens the room. I keep telling myself that instead of getting rid of it I need to paint it. I would use a cream and then wax it in a dark color just to gound it rather than darken it...maybe change out the hardware.
