Hutch

Published on by Second Chance CharmsLeave a comment

Grandma’s hutch is being passed down the generations, becoming a cherished family heirloom that holds both sentimental value and rich history. My client was gifted this stunning hutch after her grandmother-in-law’s passing, a beautiful piece that is now a tangible connection to her husband’s heritage. To make something so special a permanent part of their home, one major thing that can be done is by refinishing the piece of furniture to match your personal style and decor. Not only does refinishing breathe new life into the hutch, but it also allows for the incorporation of modern aesthetics while preserving its original charm. Whether choosing vibrant colors to make a bold statement or opting for a more subdued, classic finish, this process can transform the hutch into a centerpiece that reflects the personality of the home. By doing so, the family can celebrate their traditions while giving a nod to contemporary design, ensuring that this beautiful hutch continues to tell its story for generations to come.

My client chose to have her piece refinished in Sherwin-Williams Tricorn Black in a sleek modern solid finish, a choice that enhances the hutch’s timeless design while providing a striking contrast against the light-colored walls of her home. The original hardware was left untouched but cleaned up, maintaining the historical integrity of the piece while also accentuating its refined elegance. This careful balance of old and new not only elevates the aesthetic appeal but also creates a deeper connection to their family legacy, as each brush stroke in the refinishing process reflects their dedication to honoring the past while embracing the future. Additionally, the hutch now serves as a focal point in their living space, adorned with carefully curated decor items that tell their own stories, inviting friends and family to engage with its rich history and the memories it holds.

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 My client wanted the outdated spindles removed as well as the bottom piece that connects the top of the hutch to said spindles.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.

One solid massive piece that I needed help moving around to refinish. Once I took off the doors and removed the shelves it lighten the load a little but still a heavy piece!

My client had her colors picked out when she dropped her hutch off and knew exactly what she wanted. Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Software and glazed in Cyberspace. Original hardware revamped in Black. Simple. Gorgeous.

A few weeks back I refinished a chair and a buffet that matches this hutch. My client has many more chairs and a dining table that I will be work on soon. Meep!!!

Refinishing these custom pieces in my clients style is so satisfying. I love her taste and can’t wait to see her dining room all set up once completed!

Using the color Software by Sherwin-Williams and glazing in Cyberspace. I stained the top in Weathered Teak. Added new hardware that my client purchased, Crystal Knobs matched with silver plates changes this piece to the better! Like most of my customs, I will have my clients keep the glass at home, in this case, two glass doors and glass shelves are at home waiting to be put back in.

Family heirlooms are my jam! I say this often, and I don’t get tired of saying it over and over again; I KNOW how important these pieces are to you and your family. So not only do I take extra care in these family pieces, but I do pride myself on making them last for more generations to come.

My client wanted me to do a finish that would match an existing piece in her home that will share the space with her mothers hutch. She kept all glass shelves at her home along with the glass decorative door inserts. Check out the before picture to get an idea of what this piece will look like with those lovely add on’s installed back on!

Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Pure White and distressed heavily. I went into certain spots and did a white wash to lessen the wood showing through. Im excited for this piece and to do more techniques like it in the future! Hardware is left original and cleaned up.

FACT: Family heirlooms are special. I have refinished and restored many custom pieces throughout the years, however, family heirlooms are close to my heart.

I love restoring and refinishing these pieces for various reasons. The main one for me; YOU chose me to carefully re-love your piece. What an honor! I pride myself on wanting to not only make YOU proud of your heirlooms, but also your family members who are still with us today, as well as the original owners who are looking down from heaven. Trust me, the stories these pieces carry are tremendous, but giving them another page to their story is what makes them continued to be past down for more generations to enjoy!

This client piece was passed down from great grandmother, to grandmother, to mother and now to daughter. I cant express enough how beautiful that is in itself.

Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Cityscape. Glazed in Pepercorn. The inside and gorgeous legs have been stained in General Finishes Java.
