An Old Corner Hutch Gets a New Life

Since we moved to our house we've been hanging onto a corner hutch that's been collecting dust in our basement. It was a piece of furniture that belonged to my parents originally until they moved and then it was stored from basement to basement...until now. We were about to put it on craigslist until we started measuring it to see if it might fit somewhere in the house. We discovered that it fits amazingly well in our living room! So with some sanding, priming, painting, new hardware and new glass, we have a new piece of furniture!

Here's an old photo I found of my brother and I with the old corner hutch behind us.....




















Before: This is the hutch after we took the doors and hardware off before sanding it.




















After: Here it is after in our living room. We updated the hardware to a brushed nickel finish and replaced the glass with ribbed glass panels.
