China Hutch Fix-up with Annie Sloan

I bought this cute little china hutch packed with potential on Craig’s list a couple of months ago because I needed something small for my dining room.  It’s a little shorter than I’d like it to be but I plan to fix that by finding some cute little legs, so this re-do is not quite complete yet. But here it is so far. 

It went from this:

 

(note:  I updated this post with the picture above to show the final reveal of the hutch after adding some furniture legs.  To read the full post on adding legs to furniture, click here.) 

I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old Violet and clear wax.  I LOVE this paint!  It was my first time using it, so I didn’t get fancy.  I just wanted to see how it works and I really, really liked it.  It seems like there are a lot of possibilities with it, so I’m anxious to try it again.

So, there you have it…my simple little china hutch. (Wow — my silver is tarnished!  Yikes…better start polishing!)

I Can’t wait to get some cute little legs to add some height and character!
