Chalked Paint Hutch and Buffet
From the Designer: "I re-finished an outdated looking hutch and buffet with Rust-Oleum Chalked Paint. The project was super easy since I didn't have to sand and prep the wood before applying the paint. In no time at all I was able to transform a somewhat ugly piece of furniture into a stunning trendy farmhouse decor accent piece for my home. The paint was not difficult to work with and produced amazing results. I gave the hardware a new and unique look using Plaid Folk Art Painted Finished."
