This week, I'm going to cover this bad boy with turquoise paint and move it into my backyard where I will jimmy-rig it into a potting table with tool and chicken feed storage. Here's a shot below of the hutch (far back corner of the photo). I'll probably just take the upper cabinet doors off the hinges so that I don't have glass in the back yard.
I picked up a can of "oops" paint at Home Depot a few weeks back for 5 dollars - bright turquoise in a semi gloss - perfect for an outdoor project. I'll throw a base coat of Kilz on the hutch before painting and I'll be ready to go!
Hopefully it will look like the examples below.
So stay tuned for the reveal on Friday!

Take the glass out of the cabinets and replace it with screen or pegboard or anything. It's so nice to have closed cabinets outside. I can't wait to see the final result!
Good point, Mom. And thank you for being one of my six readers, I really appreciate it! xo
I can't wait to see what you come up with. We have an old buffet that I've long since wanted to repurpose. I'm going to look to your blog for more inspiration to convince my hubby!
seven readers.. Cant wait to see it!

That is the absolute perfect shade of blue for outside. I inherited one lonely wooden chair in that shade of blue and every spring when I put it out somewhere in the garden (with a big spider plant on it) it makes me smile. Good luck .... hope your project makes you smile too.
How lovely!
