Painting a China Cabinet
One of my recent projects that I’m sharing was to update and add new life to my full size china hutch.
It was a perfectly fine hutch, just really dark. And boring. A big brown piece of furniture that didn’t do anything for the room it was in.

Here is the before picture:
Like I said, that’s a whole lotta brown! And the dark color makes it look twice as big as it actually is.
I painted two coats in one day ( this paint dries fast) waited a few days, then applied a coat of the AS clear wax to seal and protect the paint.

Thanks for the inspiration Karen! I have my mom's hutch & have always wanted to do this. You say you didn't have to sand it first? Now to decide color??

Gorgeous!
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
How much paint did you need to do two coats?
How did the duck egg blue turn out that light of blue? If you compare the color on the website to this picture they are two different colors
Thank you so much. Did you paint inside of the cabinets? This is what I've been looking for, something simple to do. I'm going to do the dinning room table and chairs too.
