$15 Hutch Update

I remember it sitting in the corner of my Hey Bud’s dining room.

I remember my dad insisting it could be moved when my Hey Bud died.

I remember it sitting in our garage waiting on a new home.

I remember my dad painting it white when he moved it into his new house.

I remember moving it back to my Hey Bud’s house after I remodeled it.

I remember Grunt Labor standing in front of it the first time he saw it and proclaiming it a future liquor cabinet.

And I remember the look on Grunt Labor and Nick’s faces when I told them it was my great grandmother’s china cabinet, while they had hammers in mid-swing knocking out one of its shelves.

Grannie Eva, it may not be a china cabinet anymore, but its still one of my most beloved pieces.

And the fact that I named my kid after you, makes up for me making it into a liquor cabinet, right?

This piece has seen many transformations in its time. The latest hutch update cost less than $15, but made a huge impact.

You may remember when I updated it with wrapping paper last year. The wrapping paper definitely helped to break up all the black, but I still wanted something more.

$15 Hutch Makeover via RainonaTinRoof.com #makeoverI picked up flat corner braces from Home Depot a few months back . They already came in a brass color, but I wanted them more gold, so I spray painted them, then screwed them into the corners of each door.

I used 4 packs (4 are in a pack) at $2.47 a pack, so I spent about $10. I already had the spray paint on hand.

I love the “campaign” feel they give the cabinet.

I’ll take it.

    Love it! First of all the wrapping paper does a great job of lightening the cabinet and making it feel a bit more modern. And the corner pieces you added on…Fantastic! So fun & I love a good sentimental family piece!

    Wow those little gold brackets add such impact to your hutch Jenna and you can’t complain about a whopping $15.00 makeover! Your cabinet caught my eye over at the Much Adoo About Monday Party.
