The Hutch

I have had this Hutch for years. I received it as a Mothers Day gift about 15 years ago. At that time it was probably at least 40 years old. It is very well made and a one of a kind piece, handmade.

 It was a dark brown when I first got it. I then painted it pale green as an under color, then a light colonial blue. It has faded a bit over the years. 

it is a huge piece of furniture  and requires at least 4 strong guys to move it. It measures about 8 feet tall and 10 feet wide, all one piece. I absolutely love it.

Unfortunately, It has had to sit in my garage for the last 5 years because it it too big to get through any door in my townhouse. 

There is a wall exactly big enough for it at the BCR! And the back sliding doors can be removed to allow it to be brought inside!

 So first it needs a little fixin up to bring it into line with our dining table which will be its companion.

We have finally cleared it of excess kitchen ware and it is ready for its new coat of black paint. I am going to paint it right where it stands since I can now get to all sides. This way the paint will be dry by the time it gets moved in a weeks time.

Here it is about halfway done. Just a small roller and a brush.

Here it is completed! I left the blue inside the lower storage cupboards. I like the way it looks and its easier to see whats inside! This will be going up against the bright yellow wall. that you have seen in the front room. It's going to look marvelous! I will add a photo of it in place one it arrives!
