You may have seen this on my Facebook page last week along with some other fun finds I scored.
I sold almost all the furniture I had left in my booth in January, so I needed furniture to flip, and fast! I decided to head out for a day of thrifting last Thursday. I stopped at seven stores and found a few treasures to help get me started on replenishing my booth.
You were expecting white weren’t you? I went full on blue on this one, and I just love how it turned out.
I love hutches anyway, and rarely pass on a good deal on one when I see one. They are so charming and offer a ton of storage!
White hutches do sell great, but I decided this one needed my favorite blue, Behr’s Gray Morning (mixed 50/50 with Pure White) that I made into DIY chalk paint.
But that was just so that when I sanded, white would show through the blue. Isn’t the first coat always so ugly??
It was a beautiful and unexpectedly warm weekend here last week, so I spent all weekend outside with my paintin’ pants on!
They just pop in and out.
I only had enough to do the top two drawers, but the other drawer is in great condition inside.
I hope you enjoyed today’s makeover!
I’m hanging out with my new Furniture Fixer Upper crew today!!
That means there are FIVE more awesome furniture makeovers for you to see!

UPDATE: Presto! See what these became HERE now!
See ya’ll then…have a great weekend!
I wasn’t sure what color you would use on it, but I knew it would turn out amazing! I wish you would just make a road tip and bring it to my house. It is Lovely and I could use all that storage. I look forward to both your post over my morning coffee, your the best.
I’m still on the hunt for a hutch like that for my dining area.
Score!!! You are so right. A beautiful piece and you gave it the right touch. Love the soothing color, Christy.
How long do you think it took you from start to finish? I’m just curious because it looks like an intense makeover.
Thanks always for sharing your art!!
Dang girl, you are GOOD. I always get sucked into your emails, then a few clicks and I want to redo everything in my house. I recently redid a hutch and tried to use polycrilic over and it was HORRIBLE. I see you do clear wax. Do you have a tutorial you could share on it? Or a favorite Youtube video of it being done?
Beautiful! I’m really loving that paint color.
stunning! Love the colour too!
Another great transformation. You amaze me with your vision in turning outdated furniture into new treasures.
It turned out so pretty! I love the white showing through and the glass knobs you added are adorable. What a great color!
Great job! I rarely comment but always read. Cant wait to see what you do with the china. BTW, that drawer liner can be found at Dollar Tree, I use it all the time and love it.
Great job as always! I guess this is about my favorite color as far as home dec goes. My living room walls are about this color and the accents in our main bath.
Holy Gray Morning, you are so pretty. It completely transformed this dated hutch. Who would’ve thought that could turn into this fresh beauty. Beautiful makeover, Christy!
Love this piece and the color is great. I’m in VB and would love to know how much you’re selling it for. As always, thanks for sharing your talents.
Ok… One of my new faves!!!! The color is perfect… and, yes, I was TOTALLY expecting white. 🙂 Good trick on your part! 😉 Love the way you kept some of the hardware blue, and then added the glass knobs. 🙂 I bet this sells fast!
Love that color! Great job!
Another beautiful piece!! I just love it. Since people in other states are interested in your pieces, maybe you should consider selling to people far away because I know they sell pool tables on Ebay, so why not sell/ship furniture….just a thought. Keep up the fabulous work!
WOW! What an amazing change! The piece no longer looks heavy. Love the hardware now!
Nice job Christy it looks beautiful! Just so you know my home-made chalk paint has been lasting for years with no knicks or stains…. yours is an amazing color !
Oh my Christi, that hutch is simply beautiful. Another beautiful job by one super talented lady.
towel method. can you recall?
