Desk with Hutch

By Kim, Owner at Kim G. Designs in Eden Prairie, MN.

I love when I find an interesting piece.  I removed a little ledge on the hutch area along with the doors.  By doing that it immediately updated a dated piece.  Next I painted the entire piece in my favorite gray; Queenstown Gray, a nice rich and dark gray. I added a beautiful fabric to the back which I adore. Lastly when you open the little storage area you will notice a pop of color, buttermilk yellow which contrasts nicely with the gray. I also added the same fabric to line the storage compartment.  A beautiful update.
