The Blue Hutch and an upcoming Market

I know I have been a little MIA lately. Well, I have been doing tons of projects for the upcoming show in May.

Last month was the Meet & Greet and we got to see the venue and find out where our booth was located. It's a great spot. Hopefully you'll come out and find something you can't live without.

But on to the news at hand. I have been creating some furniture pieces to be in the booth along with our handmade stuff. Over the weekend I cranked out two pieces and started on a third.

Here is what I started with, good bones but the color is so wrong. So I gave her a good cleaning and started to paint.

Here is the bottom of the hutch in the process of getting painted. The color is much brighter with no wax. Flat and chalky looking.

Here she is!



Isn't she pretty. I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Aubusson Blue. I also used Annie's clear and dark wax. I distressed it just a bit to show natural wear. The handle and pulls were in good shape but needed a touchup so, I went and spray painted them with an oil rubbed bronze.

Of course I had to dress her up a bit. The white pieces really pop against the blue. 

 The indoor shots really make the piece look much darker and more teal in color.

Thanks for stopping by!
