My husband has had this hutch for 20 years.  It seemed to be making the side of the room it was in dark.  Or maybe I was just sick of it.  I decided to give it an update.

I rough sanded it. 

Painted it Behr paints Bleached Linen.

I sanded the top down.

Stained with a walnut stain.

Distressed paint.

Distressed stain.

Waxed.

Still not my favorite piece, but it was fun doing it and now the room is much lighter.
