This is the biggest transformation to date for flop or not! It took a bit more detail and patience. But it was worth it! Love love love how it turned out 👌❤️ Check out my website at flopornotdesigns.com my Instagram for more of my projects!
Can you believe this is the shape I got this in?! This hutch was a 30$ rescue from Letgo ! Plus a delivery fee to my door. The power in paint and hard work 🙋♀️ I feel very satisfied with the turnout.
Steps:
- sand sand sand SAND
- Wipe down
- lay out materials.
- use shellac zinsser primer and prime the living day lights out of your piece so you get no bleed through. With a cheap foam roller that you will toss after
- fill Wagner spray gun with premier (Canadian tire) eggshell white. (Great paint!!)
- Spray 3 coats of white paint.
- sand the doors!
- stain doors with whatever choice of stain you like. This was a mixture of a white washed oak and sun bleach oak.
- Use poly acrylic miniwax top coat X2 coats.
- attach old hardware and assemble!
This is an example of having to re same down and apply more primer if you don’t prime the entire thing too the first time.
Before the hardware and doors went on!!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Sooooooooo cute
I have door handles like those on a small cabinet , someone had painted over them
when they painted the drawers,
how can I get the paint off, I want mine to look like yours
BTW great job
I love what you did with this piece! I have a walnut secretary desk/hutch. Would I be able to sand it down and stain it lighter, like yours? Your piece looks like maple. I would paint the surround, and stain the desk cover, drawers and hutch doors/windows. Just not sure on whether it would stay dark wood color after sanding then staining.
