Hi Lori, Here is an outdated one I had that I painted to give it a completely new look. You wouldn't even know it was the same piece. http://www.recreateddesigns.com/2018/04/farmhouse-decor-hutch-upcycle/

Hello one of my favorite bloggers that I subscribe to refinishes furniture and has lovely transformations.
Please consider popping by this bloggers website for her wonderful furniture rehabs. She details useful repair products, techniques and has a nice result. Many of her furniture items are from the thrift store or furniture pieces donated to her. She also has tips for removing furniture odors and how to treat the interior drawers. She obtains a lot of her hardware from Hobby lobby. Usually you can find a discount coupon for hobby lobby.
Here’s a hutch that she recently completed will give you an idea of how to take challenged furniture pieces that need a bit of repair before painting. As well as including a link below of all of her projects and a gallery fashion.
Best wishes with your furniture rehab.

Thank you Deb.. this is actually the colour I have decided to paint my hutch!
It’s very popular to remove the top and make a coffee bar.
Paint!
I would paint it a light color and add some simple knobs
Do you want to keep it as it is currently put together or update it? The hutch and base can be separated and used separately. New feet on the hutch and you have a display cabinet. A new finish on the base and you could have a buffet or an island for your kitchen!
White chalk paint is very "in" right now for that farmhouse look.
Hello-it may depend on your personal decor aesthetics. Chalk paint and chicken wire are very popular options. For further chalk painting ideas and transformations have a look at this bloggers gallery.
