you won’t believe (and can’t see from these photos) how cute this bedroom for twin sisters is going to be. selena mcadams and our lovely client chose happy, juicy shades of pale lilac, plum and orange to give precious 5-year-olds a fabulous room that truly can grow with them. tufted, upholstered bed nooks, a vintage chandelier, tribal-print rug and fun folk art are all part of the scheme. (photos of the finished room have been promised!)
for their reading and arts & crafts area, their clever mom asked to re-purpose this old pine hutch. here’s the from-the-garage before:
(at some point, a little trompe l’oeil chicken wire/plates & books still life was added to the door. my lovely client was ready to see that go.)
selena chose benjamin moore’s cabernet (in satin impervo) with a touch of faded gold lining (antique gold rub & buff applied with a small brush) to detail the edges. as a little surprise for the girls, we gave the insides of the drawers a freshening-up with annie sloan’s chalk paint™ in barcelona, and then sealed them with a satin polyurethane so that they can be wiped clean in the event of an inadvertent glitter glue explosion. here is the almost-after:

lovely stephanie, I know how much work a hutch is! A ton of work. I have one I just cannot get done, it is such a beast.
