Challenge accepted! My client wanted the outdated spindles removed as well as the bottom piece that connects the top of the hutch to said spindles. This was a significant design choice to modernize the look of the piece, as those spindles had long been out of style and detracted from its overall elegance.
With a little saw action, I carefully cut away the old sections, ensuring not to damage the integrity of the hutch itself. Following this, I used high-quality wood filler to smooth over the gaps left behind, which required a bit of patience and attention to detail. Once the filler dried, I sanded the entire surface to achieve a flawless finish. The result was so seamless that you could never tell such a thing existed before.
The transformation was completed with a stunning new coat of Sherwin-Williams Oakmoss green, a color that adds a touch of modern sophistication while still maintaining a warm, inviting feel. To further elevate the aesthetic, I added new gold handles that not only complement the green finish perfectly but also introduce a touch of elegance and a contemporary flair.
This gorgeous piece is now ready for her modern debut, sure to impress anyone who sees it. With its fresh look and thoughtful updates, this hutch perfectly balances vintage charm with a modern twist, making it a standout addition to my client’s home.
