Hutch transformation

I am in L♥VE with turquoise home decor!

Want to see my latest victim? :)

I was in need of more storage in my dining room and came across this hutch on Craigs for $50 and knew it was a match made in home decor heaven!

It was almost perfect...

...EXCEPT for the gold etched windows, broken light & outdated (and missing) pulls AND that it was an ugly 70's brown!

Oh, hello command center ;)

To transform this piece, I did the usual...

Remove cabinet fronts, {break hideous gold etched crisscross glass out!} paint a pretty turquoise & distress:

Once paint is dry, add beadboard paintable wallpaper [yes it's WALLPAPER! Think 80's!!] to the back of the hutch:

You thought it was real beadboard, 
didn't you? ;)

Kristi was skeptical but this stuff by Allen Roth is awesome!  It was around $20 at Lowes.  Sweet. I added some wood beadboard as the glass shelves weren't my style:

It was super easy to apply and paired with the chicken wire [which was a pain to put in due to the sides NOT opening, I literally got a splinter in my armpit if that gives you a visual, lol!!] & glass knobs [purchased at a small town store in N. AZ], it really pulls the shabbiness of hutch together:

I absolutely ♥ the end result and it fills my space perfectly, dontcha think? :)



Is turquoise too bold for your home decor?
Our friend Heather sent us her before/after of the SAME hutch in black! Small world!
