My aunt had planned on restoring this old hutch of my grandma's, but ended up moving to Kelowna and didn't want to take it with her. You can see the big progress she made on sanding one drawer front...She asked if I wanted it, otherwise it was going to sadly end up at the dump. Well, since I needed a first real project to do in my nice spacious heated garage...
I think it came out quite nice! I think there must be some history to the centre doors and drawer being a different wood type. Perhaps it was open at one point. I like the lighter shade, it shows some interesting wood grain. I wanted to match some of my other furniture, which the skirt and trim does. And the last shot is for Surferguy, who I know will cringe at me using wood filler, but I just didn't feel like going through the effort of veneer repair. It's not really noticeable unless you are looking for it.
