I bought "Le China Hutch" from a "junque" dealer several months ago for about $25. I was full of good intentions that I would transform it immediately and put it up for sale.......It is still in my garage, only getting shoved from one area to the next. I bought a roll of Chicken Wire, thinking I would put that in the doors. I would love any and all ideas.
Sorry, no beauty pics today, in the middle of a bunch of fun projects though!
Linking this project up with:
Perhaps you could paint it a different color and make it into a computer desk and hutch which can be closed when not in use? Or it could be a pantry with the chicken wire like you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteIt has real potential and at only $25 you have a great deal there! Can it be stripped or is that too much work? Maybe a bright/bold color and I say try the chicken wire, it could look great!
ReplyDelete$25???? Really? Amazing. It would be beautiful in any color. Black distressed with all white dishes.
ReplyDeleteI would have snatched that up...and I would have done nothing with it yet...I have had a gun cabinet in my garage for over a year. But $25 - too good of a deal!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't look too bad now by what I can tell, but a little boring, some fun wallwaper in the back and a fresher color?? I have to say I love to hear I'm not the only one who can't pass up a piece, just to have it sit in the garage or spare room for months. whew. Then one day you wake up and say *TODAY Im going to work on that piece* It will be lovely:)

I inherited one very similar from my grandma. I recommend putting glass in the door's. It only cost me $15 per door to replace the glass in mine. The shelves are thicker and were $30 each. It's made o an odd resin material so to paint it you will need to use an oil based primer.
