This two piece hutch is a wonderful piece of hand wrought awesomeness!! It's not from any factory! The woman I acquired it from said it came from Pennsylvania, so it's possible that it could be Amish. Every bit of it is hand crafted. The doves in the drawers are large and rough and definitely carved by hand, and you can see this everywhere on the piece down to the curls on the toes! It screamed French Country" to me, so I went full on shabby chic with General Finishes Milk Paint in Antique...

The drawers got 2 fresh coats of GF Java Gel Stain and the top, legs and handles received 3 coats of Snow White Milk Paint. The entire piece was sealed with High Performance...

This cute Drexel end table was sanded and painted Antique White and the two tabletop surfaces were dry brushed with various shades of gray, white, and sienna brown.

We love pieces with history! The Upcycled Cupboard shares the details about this gorgeous custom-built farmhouse table. "About a month ago we had the opportunity to get the wood, doors, etc out of a house on my grandparent's farm before they tore it down. There was a door to the one bedroom in the house.

Jen's Furniture Rehab is ready for spring!"Now this was a fun project!! It took two days and myself and two helpers to remove every bit of the stuffing and about 5 million staples from this chair!! I would refer whoever upholstered this chair to everyone!! Once it was naked, I covered it in General Finishes Sunglow Milk Paint, and since it's rated for outdoor use, I skipped the sealer! By the end of the summer, I hope to see it fully engulfed in a different kind of floral beauty!!"
