Awhile ago I bought this desk and vintage hutch from a family who was moving away. I planned on buying a whole set, but when I got there not all of the pieces were what they said they were online…Happen to anyone before?! The guy was really nice and I was thrilled to walk away with this piece—not the color though.
The vintage hutch was black and silver and chipping and scratched, but I let it sit and be my computer desk for too long.
I saw this stencil at Cutting Edge Stencils and the light bulb finally went on!
Plus, I discovered the cutest shop at Queen Bee Market called Evie Ivy!
Jenny is so sweet and I couldn’t wait to put this on my vintage hutch / desk. The colors helped inspire the desk.

Going from black to white took a lot of work.
I stripped and sanded and tried stripping again my vintage hutch.
Not all of the black even came off, but about 90% did.
Blues, greens, and yellows are making me happy at the moment.
Stand from Home Goods and thread from Red Heart.
I can’t believe how many colors they offer.
My husband and I decided we don’t want the computer back on here so for now the vintage hutch is taking care of my random party supplies and craft supplies that I would like out of reach from the kids.
Glass, twine, paint, straws, and bags are what’s inside.
Love this picture of my girls from Lora Knight Photography and journal from Nichole.
I love detailed furniture and this vintage hutch has a lot of it.
This was a gift from my sweet friend Angela after we attended SNAP together.
There you have it! I love how it turned out!
I’m obsessed with the paint I used for our vintage hutch. It was my first time trying out Benjamin Moore and I used Mascarpone {white} and Water Drops {blue}

This desk is part of my childhood furniture. My mom is downsizing and I was able to snag the desk for my daughter. Can you share more details of what you used for paint and primer? Mine still has the original finish so hopefully I can end up with a project as successful as yours!

I actually have the same desk but the smaller shelving for the top. How did you go about fixing the drawers? My are in horrible condition and think I have to remake them..

This desk is also a part of my childhood. Due to the pandemic and online schooling, I picked it up from my mom’s home. I am too, curious about the type of paint that was used, primer and anything else to bring this old school desk up to the 21st century.
