GORGEOUS White Painted Christmas Hutch

There are no words to describe the satisfaction you get when you turn a decrepit, smell, scratched up old furniture and turn it into a gorgeous white painted Christmas hutch your family will enjoy for years to come!

Here’s my beautiful hutch all decorated for Christmas! Spoiler Alert! It sold in three days for a ridiculous amount! I was so excited.

What I Started With

While I’m really excited how it turned out, you won’t believe how this looked when I first laid eyes on it! Well, you HAVE to see WHY. It was in such a shabby shape to begin with, but I insisted on giving it a chance!

Be sure and scroll to see the before and more gorgeous after pics. Oh and Merry Christmas!!!!…

Can you believe I only paid $30 for it?

Pathetic, right? And even more pathetic and gross when I puked figured out that it reeked of rat pee!!!
Ewww! (please don’t tell)

What I did to transform it into a beautiful Christmas hutch

The first thing I did was spray it down with a hose. After that, I kicked out ALL of the panels and shelves, only leaving a shell. Next I let it sit out in the heat and sun for about a week.

Here’s a closer look at the damage.

I then scrubbed the remaining pieces with TSP. The stuff works wonders. It gets the smell out, the grime out and anything yuck out!

I then replaced the all of the shelves in the cabinet and added new boards to the entire back of the dresser and hutch. What a difference!

I sanded and primed the entire piece with Zinzer Primer.

Then I sanded and re-stained the top with my favorite Minwax Dark Walnut.

I chose a white chalk like paint for the rest.

As mentioned before, the entire back has new birch boards – a major improvement!

Wow! Already looking fantastic:)

But my favorite extra touch is the distressing. Here’s a quick video on distressing furniture:

And now it’s unrecognizable!

Oh! Of course, it looks amazing all decked out for Christmas, doesn’t it? I sure hope its new owner enjoys it for many more Christmases to come!

Here’s one last look at the before and after this amazing transformation!

Merry Christmas!
