Anthropologie Inspired Hutch

This is my "hutch of many colors".  A little out of my comfort zone, but I love it.

This is the not-so-beautiful before.  I found this one sitting out in the rain, all lonely, just like my farm table .

That's dirty white paint peeling off a bright yellow underneath.  I sanded off the white, but the yellow didn't budge.  While I was sanding, I discovered the back of the hutch had painted over wallpaper.  Ugh!

As I removed the wallpaper, I discovered a blue painted underneath.
That makes three colors. For some reason, I got the feeling this piece should be painted with a bright color.  I could not decide between turquoise and green.  While shopping over the weekend, I saw a cabinet in Anthropologie that was painted with the green and turquoise together, and I knew that it would be perfect.

While I was sanding and distressing, there came that yellow again.  It was actually a great accent.  I'm so glad I picked colors that looked good with yellow.  My white primer also made an appearance, making this a very colorful hutch.

I hope someone falls in love with it at the antique mall.
