I had a client want his antique hutch his Grama gave him a bit more modern but to still be used in his house! This was a very time Consuming job, but in the end it’s always worth it! I personally like keeping as much antique as possible while still bringing it to a modern vibe.
This is before
sanding this piece down took 11 hours of hard hard work. For bigger projects like these I hire out my sanding to a friend!
Sanding process
After it was sanded I used painters tape and construction paper to keep the wood from getting paint on it while
i painted the backing.
I used primer than painted 2 coats of behr paint
I stained the frame with minwax espresso and than a coat of ebony on top because this wood was not taking the darker look my client was wanting.
This was the door before stain, and after it had been sanded down.
After applying the stain.
I took off the hinges and sprayed them silver to match the new hardware I was putting on.
Final product 🙂
