I enjoy long travels for furniture finds...
Diving for buried treasures….
Imagine my surprise when I came across this absolutely gorgeous huge hutch that had 3 large, square-shaped doors on the top and lots of storage cupboard space along the bottom. I found her outside in the snow valley area sitting on the curb side for free! Talk about a great find!
She was a diamond in the rough and I had to claim her as my prize. This hutch spoke to me in many ways... I repurposed those 3 long doors and created mirrors out of them. They were pretty banged up from the get go. I left the original latex black layered paint job on them. I took the 3 doors to a professional glass factory in Barrie Ontario as they were best in business and I had the glass mirrors built right into the wooden frames. Spiffy! Jealous yet?
Luckily, a kind noble man came to me and said he could most definitely use those 3 doors to add to his space. I asked him what he would do with them and he stated those mirrors would be a nice focal point in the hallway of his condo.
As for the actual hutch unit, I painted it using my own mixture. Annie Sloan chalk paint, adding Old White and Pure White together and French Linen was applied on the bottom cupboards. I decided to leave the piece open faced - meaning the top of the hutch did not have doors!
The client was impressed with the final product! Moral of the story...Please, NEVER THROW OUT YOUR HEIRLOOMS! Message me and let me help you breathe new life into your treasures. Almost everything now a days is useful in some type of way. Right? 😊
