The Hutch...

So this week was a long one because of school and I really wanted to do something fun this weekend.
I finished all my homework on Friday so that I could spend all saturday on THIS!

When we got married we were FORTUNATE enough to inherit all of my dads ex-ex dental waiting room furniture and it's LOVELY... the sofa is a beautiful baby pink and green plaid partnered up with an impressive oversized wing chair covered in christmas color plaids all tied together with a HUGE round ottoman that is also a lovely pink floral... Now interior design is ONE of my favorite things (since I work in an interior design store and I grew up with one) (mom) it's always been something I love to do! However I've felt doomed and tied down to an ugly house till I get rid of that wretched furniture! Brandon finally promised me a new couch in May when we graduate so I decided i was going to start doing the things to my house that i've been wanting to do even if my furniture was HIDEOUS and NOTHING I do will ever match it! so here goes!!! 

This is the color I chose... Don't worry I was nervous about it too at first...

I MUST say though that the REAL art piece was me... These were my feet after walking around paint splattered newspapers all day.

I THINK some of the paint actually made it to the hutch?.... and yes I stuck my head in one of the shelves after it was painted and got my hair COVERED in blue paint... I'm new at this... 

AAAAAND.......

TA DAAA!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! 

I'm so glad I went with a bright color! My house colors are teal, green, mustard and brown so on the knobs i couldn't decided between baby blue or mustard so thats why they are 2 different colors but I think we decided we liked the blue better :) Any opinions on that?...

So here are my words of advice if you ever paint furniture....

1- DO NOT PAINT ON NEWSPAPER!! it sticks to it on the legs of the piece and you have to peel it off and repaint it after it's dry. Paint of cardboard

2- sweep off the area your painting in COMPLETELY if there is ANY sort of wind!

3-When painting shelves start with the top (roof) of it, then the walls, then the actual shelf.... that way you don't have to stick your head into a wet shelf to paint the top ha ha ha

DINING ROOM TABLE YOUR NEXT!!!
