Here's a better image of my hutch before. I love this hutch. I bought the whole set from a consignment store and I love the mission style of this hutch in particular. It just needed a little sprucing up, so I used my trusty chalk paint, tinted to the Valspar color "Baltic Birch" (from my @blacksheephouse learning experience) and then I bought some glaze, which I had never used before, and tried to add texture. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Cabin;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Cabin;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Cabin;"><br /></span></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDFWWKkRJGwc1K7J0qssuP4YyS3jF6nRkG7JBYw9H1bKbGF29HFAbQP-kBEcBzHJlSDugqPgY2J1GQHdWZemhtpLYOwGWu76rsdVP4W-W2biD8sVWBwKHYQa_-_aCOZCuly2bQzXSYiXicHxUohnCtHABL5_n12yjtsH3AvQwSzIhKTX_u1Kpuvw/s4032/Table%20after,%20hutch%20during.jpg" style="clear: left;
