I have been looking for a black hutch or cabinet to hold my white dishes in for some time.
I was so excited when I got this hutch at a yard sale for $70.00.
I loved the dental molding and glass doors. And even though it was a little “dressier” than I was looking for, I KNEW it would look great painted black.
So I took all the doors off (except the middles ones…they do not open).
See the red bowls on top of each piece? I made sure to put the right hinges in the correct bowl to make sure they ended up where they started!
Then I used a liquid sander all over each piece before I painted.
Then I painted each piece black.
Notice it’s getting dark outside. I worked all evening on this and into the night! I was just so excited to get a new piece of furniture!
I had a hard time getting a good picture of it finished, because the lights from my windows and chandelier kept showing up in the glass windows of the hutch.
But I am very pleased with how it turned out.
All the dishes in the cabinet are from Goodwill except the Target birds, Southern Living cake stand, and green pitcher from Marshalls.
It also has a light that we can turn on that looks especially nice at night.
I haven’t decided what type of handles to put on the hutch yet, I am still waiting for some inspiration!
I hope you enjoyed this Hutch Re-do!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful transformation! You really updated this piece. It looks so pretty with all your white dishes!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous hutch re-do and I love how it shows off your beautiful white dishes1 Lots of work but it turned out wonderfully. I bet you will really enjoy this~ Cindy
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what painting a piece black will do for it! It is wonderful! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out beautiful! The black looks awesome with the green wall and white dishes. Don't you just love that liquid sandpaper?! I really hate sanding. I've painted about 15 pieces of furniture in the past 2 years so finding that product was a lifesaver...as well as a great time saver.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job Traci. Shows off the white dishes so nicely~ ~Ahrisha~ ~
ReplyDeleteWhat a bargain you got on this great hutch and what a beautiful job you did! It looks awesome! I love how you've decked it all out too!

If the people who sold it for $70 could see it now, they might have second thoughts about selling it - absolutely gorgeous! Linda
ReplyDeleteIt turned out Fabulously!! I am going to have to give this liquid sandpaper a try!!! Maybe glass knobs would look good? You did a great job and it shows off your china perfectly!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I love that piece black and white dishes really stand out against the dark of the cabinet! Good Job!

Wow! It looks beautiful! I wouldn't have thought of using black paint, but I love it. Something to put away in the mental file for future projects.
ReplyDeleteHi Traci! Love your hutch re-do...I know how much hard work you put into this...I remember when I redid my hutch. :-) And of course, you know I'm loving your Gibson dishes! This turned how beautifully! It makes me smile when I see all these Target birds across Blogland...can you just imagine how many they sold! :-)

What kind of black paint did you use?
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome and beautiful. Love to read your blog.
Hi, Tracie! I love your hutch re-do! It turned out FABULOUS! I am currently working on a curio cabin with double glass doors that I am painting black. I know a lot of bloggers out there use spray paint for their repurposing projects. Is this tye type of paint you used? If not, what was it? Also, I assume you primted first?

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love what you have done to this hutch. I am just now getting into the redoing blogs and learning how to see the possibility in so many things. And taking a try at re purposing old furniture. Thanks for sharing this awesome find and re-do.

Hi! This piece turned out great! I just found your blog today and am also thinking about painting and distressing my hutch black. What type of paint did you use? Did you spray paint it? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the redo! I would so appreciate knowing the type of paint you used on your project. I have a similar cabinet that I bought new 20 years ago for much, much more than the bargain you got!I now want to paint it black. I have been doing so much research and I'm so very nervous. Any tips would be appreciated!.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
