You never know what diamond in the rough you might find. As far as colors, you can never go wrong with the classics (white and black) but I love soft blues, grays and even a soft green could work depending on what chevron you are using, the other pieces in the room and the pretties you plan to show in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927889236153598968.post-61662183434050223562014-05-19T20:06:53.309-04:002014-05-19T20:06:53.309-04:00Oh I can just imagine you in that horrid thrift sh...Oh I can just imagine you in that horrid thrift shop....but you found a great piece . . . you will definitely turn it into a "swan"....So happy that you found what you were looking for...anxious to see the reveal ... love the idea of the chevron backing!...Shirley@Housepitality Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09945881622303698087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927889236153598968.post-78932469271764241302014-05-19T10:03:42.049-04:002014-05-19T10:03:42.049-04:00Black.

I am thinking a subtle bit of color would add interest and draw the eye to the piece as a statement. Chateau Gray is pretty and actually has a green gray cast. I did a table in this and used old white to stencil on it and then dark wax. It is very nice. It's a good soft color and would be a neutral since it is green and goes with nature.

As far as color for the hutch, why not use the color wash technique that was applied to your dining room chairs but not too white ( maybe a tinge of grayish, greenish, bluish?) I was also concerned about balance and scale with the other side of the French doors. Perhaps you could add more weight to the"botanicals" wall by simply reframing the prints larger with a darker mat. It will all come together and I, for one, can't wait for the reveal!!

Maybe a soft camel and cream for the chevron and a a cream overglaze for the front? Too much contrast with your walls and woodwork will make that lovely, and large appearing cabinet dominate your room. Just my two cents worth........know what ever you choose will be lovely.

I agree with the other comment, I would try fabric or even wrapping paper in the back to dress up the inside. I think the chevron would be tons of work is quickly losing its luster and might fight with the zebra rug?

It takes away from your lovely french doors and the trim work, both really nice architectural elements that should stand out imo. I really like the piece and can envision how nicely it will go with your decor once you do your magic painting it. As a reader, it's hard to get a true feel for scale of your rooms from pictures but for fun I went thru pictures of your other rooms and started re-arranging your furniture in my head. LOL I hope you don't mind, it's just something I do.a.lot. ;) So.....was wondering if this piece would work better in your family room against the long wall where you placed the top piece of a hutch you used as a credenza, and move that behind your sofa as a sofa table...but again it was hard to tell by pictures alone if the scale works, etc. A lamp on a table behind a sofa works on many levels for ambiance. I'd place your beautiful mirror from the long wall above the fireplace if it fits. Ok I gotta stop...you didn't ask for such info. <br /><br />I'm guessing you'll probably paint your new hutch a light color and the only thing I can contribute about painting is to share a clever idea I saw long ago. Rather than painting it, cardboard pieces (or perhaps thin wood) was wrapped with fabric and place snuggly against the back. The idea was to make it easy to change out color/patterns with seasons. Sorta like you do with pillows. I can't wait to see your final reveal no matter what you decide!
