KROEHLER VINTAGE HUTCH

This hutch is a thrift store find that was missing it's legs and had been distressed naturally for decades, but it was such a unique vintage piece and a quality piece of furniture that just needed some updating. I have Googled Kroehler furniture and they made some sharp looking furniture and I love the retro look of the items they did in 50's and 60's. Michelle had found the Lion claw legs in a box of furniture parts that someone was tossing out on trash day, so I attached them to the hutch, sanded and painted the whole thing satin white and removed and cleaned all the hardware and painted it apple green and reinstalled it and then painted the ball that the Lion claw was grabbing green along with painting the inside of the hutch green. This was a fun project to work on and it turned out so nice. I hope to find another one someday.








finished with legs and new paint
