Shabby but Chic Hutch

This is my fabulous craigslist find I got for 40.oo.

I sweet talked my boyfriend into meeting the lady selling it. She listed a picture of it but it was really hard to tell what it looked like, so I told him...... buy it no matter what!

I got lucky, it was a cute piece and it had potential.

(Before)

I started painting  it the next day using my usual acrylic craft paints, I highly distressed it using a razor knife, which revealed the underlying green paint.  I just love distressed furniture, if it gets nicked or scratched it only adds to it.

I guess I could hire Miss Gabby (my cat) to do the distressing. lol  (if you don't know what I'm referring to, read my post  Lesson Learned.

I removed the doors because I wanted to display my pottery collection. I plan on making something with the doors later on.

  (After)

It fits perfectly in my Living room.
