a sweet little hutch.

Published on by Quandie

Remember the mini hutch (sideboard?  buffet?  dresser?  what would you call it?) that was very generously gifted to me at my sale?

I’ve given it a bit of a makeover.

First, the prep.  I began by filling in those circle details on the door fronts using Dixie Belle’s white Mud.  I knew I wanted to use some transfers on those doors and the circles would just be in the way.  Once the Mud was dry, I sanded everything smooth and then, after taping off the mirror, I gave it a quick spray with Rust-Oleum matte sealer.  I could have brushed on the Dixie Belle Bonding Boss, but it was easier to just give it a quick spray.

Next I painted the piece with two coats of Dixie Belle’s Drop Cloth.  After distressing the paint job a bit by sanding the edges to give it some age, it was time for the fun part.

I started by adding some roses from the I.O.D. Rose Botanical transfer.

This set of transfers has roses in different sizes and the smallest ones were perfect for this little hutch.  I added them to that backsplash bit, and also on either side of the front.

Once the roses were in place, I pulled out the Vintage Post transfer from Dixie Belle.  I selected some of the typography from it and added it to the front of the hutch.

It fit perfectly.

Then I used some pretty scrapbook paper to line the drawer.

After finishing it all off with a coat of Dixie Belle’s clear wax on the outside, I staged it up with a miniature camera and a tiny little ironstone pitcher.

I think it turned out pretty sweet.

What do you think?

This sweet little hutch is for sale.  Check out my ‘available for local sale‘ page for more details.

Thank you to Dixie Belle Paint Co for providing their products used in this makeover.

  4. Shipping this dresser would not be difficult, just small and large bubble wrap! And there’s a website called pirate ship that lets you create mailing labels at home at reduced postage! But I understand Linda’s hesitation to ship – it can be a pain to pack. 🙂

    1. My niece gave that camera to me for Christmas one year, but to be totally honest it was after I spotted it in an antique store and mentioned how much I’d like to have it 😉 These little cameras were popular in the 50’s and you can find them for sale on line every now and then too. Hmmm … maybe I’ll write a blog post about it!
