Tattered Butterfly Design Before & After

I think I have the cutest helper ever.  My son loves to help out!


I love this hutch.  I found this in Oregon about 15 years ago.  I've had it in my home for that long.  The lady I bought from said she remembers it in her grandma's home when she was a young child.  It's probably at least 60+ years old.  I love that it has a ton of storage.  It also has 2 pieces which makes it a lot easier to move. 

The hutch was in great condition.  I wish we always find pieces in this kind of condition.  I started out sanding down the top of the buffet.  It had a lot of scratches on the top.  My son and I were able to sand out most of the dings.  It was his first time using an electric sander.  His smile reveals all!

Then a solid layer of black paint.  Then two layers of creamy white.  Big black ceramic knobs.  Light distressing to show a hint of black.  This hutch didn't have a back when we got it but I decided to add a back and used artisan paper for a vintage modern touch.

I think it turn out great!  It has vintage modern style.  If your interested it is my store Tattered Butterfly Design in Orem, UT for  $499.00.
