So this is the top half of the hutch that I recently found in someones garage. My neighbors were having a 5 family yard sale, and I saw them organizing all the stuff they had been collecting. So I got tastfully nosy. 3 days before their actual sale, they let me look through everything that they had. I saw it, and had to have it. I showed them the amount of work it was going to take to get this lookin' good again and was able to talk them down and got what I felt like a steal.
This is the bottom half, almost completly sanded. This wood in the buff is beautiful! Of course there are doors that go in those spots, but they're staying off until I can get all new hardware. New knobs, new hinges. This much sanding took me over 2 hours. It's a solid, well built hutch and I cannot wait to see this finished. Will I get it done before Saturday? Probably not. At least it already looks better than it did!
