About 2 years ago my mother passed her beautiful china onto me along with a little hutch that I could store it in. I have wanting so badly to paint it because it was such a great piece but the wood and stain just looked a little dated. I have been scared though since I'm not a great painter. On the right of my blog is a blog called V and Co. and she is great at painting and restoring things so I peppered her with questions and then pick a nice safe color then got pregnant and sick and never got around to it. I'm so glad to because I decided I wanted to try something a little more bold and so I picked out this great Terra Cotta color, distressed it, and then used a tinted polyurethane to glaze it and I'm so happy with it! I feel like it does my China justice since its so pretty and now its holder is too! I was on cloud nine because I was so happy with it but then to top it off John said, "I don't know why I ever worry, you really have a way with color." Ahh, I'm blushing, sweet boy!
Just had to try to give you an upclose picture at how simply beautiful the china is!

cute! you did such a good job:)
Honey, you should have asked me about that small hutch. I got it at Gemco- it was a piece of junk. You could paint it for all I care. But you have done a whopper of a job in makeing it look new and updated! Way to go kid! I like it that you like my (oops) your china- it goes with everything and always looks elegant!
It looks so beautiful. You chose a great color and it looks so good!
That does look really nice!
Looks great!! :)
I agree with John... you are awesome.
Wow, that looks like something from Pottery Barn! Beautiful!
