Vintage Hutch

 before

Okay Mom, this post is for you.  I thought you might like to know that we [finally] finished that hutch.  Good grief that took forever.  This is a "vintage" hutch that I got off of Craigs list.  It must be something like 100 years old.  It's rustic okay.  I like rustic.  The wood still had fire stains on it from when people cooked on wood stoves.  It's not perfect, I know.  But here are my befores and afters.  I painted this ol' thing in Miss Mustard Seed milk paint, color is Typewriter.  It took a while.  First, you paint it.  Then you rub this beeswax furniture polish all over it.  Then, you finish it off with some hemp oil.  The vintage, crackly look takes a while.  Anyways, I like it.  The hubby, he hates it.  Nothing is square about it and that drove the engineer in him nuts.  I like it because it hides all my pots and pans.
