Have you ever worked on a project that just made you SMILE? I just finished one, and I’m grinning from ear to ear!
Ladies and gentlemen (there’s probably no gentlemen reading, but it sounds cool to say)…
The Aqua Farmhouse Hutch
{Before Hutch}
I love it because of the details!
The first thing I did was paint the main piece using my new DIY Chalk Paint Recipe (follow the link to see previous post).
I painted the main sections white and used this amazing AQUA (Bermuda Blue) paint on the doors and top piece. The best part is, it was a mistint I found at WalMart- SCORE!
The garage had been taken over!
The next step was to distress both pieces.
I spray painted the hardware black using Rust-Oleum Canyon Black Spray Paint.
Next, I glazed it using a black glaze (for glazing instructions check out the Cute Clover Table post).
The final step was to wax the hutch to protect it!
{After Hutch}
Here’s a side by side just for fun!
‘They’ say Aqua is a hot color for this spring (whoever ‘they’ are). I’m not sure, I just know ‘I’ love it and to me, it screams SPRING!
Love you more than finishing a big project!

Thank you Becky!! Have a great weekend!
Hi – I just wanted to tell you that I loved your re-do. I have seen lots of those hutches at garage sales etc and I passed on them becuase I didn’t like the style. i do know that paint changes everything – but I always seem to wait for more scrolly types of furniture!
Great job – I will click over to your recipes for Chalk paint etc.

I love this. I want to make one too, but am a little afraid. Yours turned out absolutely beautious.
Wow! What a beautiful piece. Great job and so love the color. Isn’t great to get those oops paints in a color you can use and with great savings. I scored on 2 cans of Valspar at Lowe’s last month. : ) I’m a new follower on would love if you’d follow back and also share your hutch at my Frugal Treasures Tuesday party going on now. : )
Thank you Barbe! I’d love to link up – thank you for inviting me! HUGS!
That little hutch never had it so good. Nice job!
Thank you Lynn :)
