This is the hutch before: By the way, this is one of the pieces of furniture Crystal gave me. When I was at her house a couple of weeks ago, she had done an armoire in Duck Egg with an Old White wash on top. I liked it so much I blatantly copied it!
Here is the after:
Very interesting project to do. I painted it 2 coats of Duck Egg, then dipped the brush in Old White and then in water. Then I slathered it on and rubbed it around with a damp rag. The damp rag rubbed right through down to the wood it places, which is what I wanted, distressing it without having to sand it. I love the way it turned out, but I would also like to do it and make it turn out mostly white with bits of the other peeking through.
I clear waxed it all over and was very sparing with the dark wax this time, just a few highlights. I kept the original hardware, too. The color looks a little different in each pic because it was storming and the light kept changing... I think the large picture is the most accurate in color.
This will be for sale at Garage of Good in a couple of weeks! Haven't decided on a price yet...
Love this!! You are so very good at what you do...it's so cool to see the before and after!! I picked up a dresser at a garage sale thats sitting in the garage to do something with it for Ciara and thinking I should try this?? Thanks for sharing!!
