Furniture Facelift Friday: Blue Hutch

This darling hutch by Vikki at Uniqueantweaks is just begging to go into a boy’s room. So cute!

And that is one thing that I LOVE about distressed furniture – it can take a beating. You don’t have to worry about what is going to happen to it in a boy’s room. Go ahead, scratch it! Take a hammer to it! I already have! I love having furniture in the house that I am not constantly hyperventilating over. Heaven help me if you ever find a piece of mahogany furniture in my home!

Older furniture is always better built too. My son used to use his drawers as stairs to reach things on top of the dresser. Some of the newer furniture would have never withstood the abuse, but my son’s dresser still looks great and is holding up just fine.

Furniture Facelift Friday:
Every Friday I post before and after pics of a furniture restoration or repurpose. If you have any before and after photos you would like to submit, just post them to my Facebook wall at www.facebook.com/Jonesing2Create and you might be featured on my blog!
