The drawers on these hutches don't open. Grandma didn't like that so I made one that does open. I used the drawer front that came with the hutch and then just added a frame to make the drawer.
Here you see that color that Grandma chose. She likes red!
The base coat is Folk Art Fire Engine Red. When that was dry, I lightly dry brushed on some Poodle Pink to tone down the red and make it look a little shabby.
I may paint some flowers on the drawer? I'm planning to add crystal knobs and maybe some trim on the shelves inside. I haven't decided how I want to finish the bottom yet.
The red really looks nice in the attic. Hope to show you soon...
