A few more recent projects.

I enjoy doing hutches. This was fun to do because of the size. The photo shows it as a blue when it's really done in Valspar, Sultry Bay. It's a muted teal-blue. It's been lightly distressed on the edges and waxed to a nice sheen.

Great Country desk/Hutch. If I had a farm style home, I could picture it in the kitchen with cookbooks and jars filled with fun stuff.  I also think it would  be perfect for an office or child's room. This was done in Brick Red by Clark Kennsington. I seem to gravitate to muted shades. Once again a light distressing to give it the worn - cozy feel and then waxed. The nice thing about the wax I use, "Daddy Vans" - it's waterproof. If you spill, just wipe off with a damp cloth and dry. (note: the brassy hardware was sprayed with a rubbed bronze spray, BIG difference in the appearance)
