{Red} Hutch Re-do!

I came across a piece of furniture at a garage sale a few weeks back.  While I didn't have a need for it, I really wanted to get it.  So, there I stood, staring at it - trying to think of a place in my house where I could put it.  I left, went home, looked in my house, and went back to buy it.  If anything, I wanted to try to redo it, like this beautiful dining room hutch makeover.  This is what I bought for $20:

Other than being a little dirty and missing a knob, it was in very good condition.  By using the "beautiful dining room hutch makeover" post above as a tutorial, I got to work.  I took off the hardware and doors, lightly sanded it, and then primed it with Krylon Primer in Ruddy Brown. 

Next up, spray painting on the final color!  I choose Krylon Cherry Red.  {Red is my favorite color and I have a frame in Cherry Red, as well as, other pops of red that would tie everything in.}  Using 4 cans of Cherry Red, I spray painted everything on the hutch, except the hardware.  {I did approximately 3 coats, letting dry in between.}  For the hardware, I used Rust-Oleum Hammered spray paint in a black finish.  This is really cool stuff!  I replaced the knobs with cute ones I found 50% at Hobby Lobby. 

Here is the final result:

As you can see, I had no trouble finding a place for it!  :-) I really love it.  It makes me happy when I walk in the door.

You can see how I made the mini fabric flag pennant behind the globes on THIS post.

The "beautiful dining room hutch makeover" post from The Crafting Chicks was very, very helpful in completing this project.
