Black Kitchen Hutch !

Good morning everyone !

After I had painted the black cabinet for the den HERE  - and fell in love with it - I decided to go for it in the kitchen since it's black and white themed anyway ..................

Black Hutch

I heavily distressed - but only on all the edges


John says - I hope you're not going to start painting everything in the house black
Suzan says - We have nine rooms - surely we can have a few pieces of black furniture?

But his will be the last piece for me in black - although I may do a set to sell because I love how dramatic it looks !


I didn't use ASCP for this piece - instead I made a home made chalk paint to use as a primer

3 parts black latex paint
1 part Plaster of Paris

You make a paste with the plaster and mix it into the paint - it worked beautifully as a primer
And then I gave the entire piece a coat of Rustoleum CHALKBOARD paint - and finished that with a coat of polyurethane ( I may put another coat since it's in the kitchen and will get heavy usage )
The " cousine " looks a lot better in person that it appears in photos - I know it looks busy next to the wall paper in these pictures - but it doesn't when you're actually in the kitchen !


I used an electric sander for the edges


It gives " substance " to the kitchen ( if that makes any sense at all )

I know it's not for everyone - being so dark and all - but it really does work in this space

Black painted hutch


This piece has had so many makeovers -
From Painted White


To Chicken Wire


To wallpapered


But it originally looked like this when I spotted it in the Salvation Army for  $37.50 ( years ago )


It's come a long way  (baby) UPDATE - DO NOT TAKE NOTE OF COUSINE - I SPELLED IT WRONG LMHO !
SHOULD BE CUISINE - ( a quick fix thankfully )
THANKS LILIAN - I OWE YOU ONE !!!!!!!!!!!



I have a giveaway coming up next week - stay tuned ♥

Much love,
Me
