This dated oak hutch top was begging for a dramatic transformation. The beautiful floral wallpaper was the design inspiration for this piece. I wanted a nice light gray color and since I had General Finishes Chalk Paint in Empire Gray and Milk Paint in Snow White on hand, I decided to mix the two. Some light distressing completed the body along with attaching some new Queen Anne style legs to support the large piece.
