Need help updating pine hutch

9 years ago

I purchased this pine hutch with the intention of updating it. I would like it to appear softer and more aged/reclaimed, possibly a similar tone as the wooden beads in the chandelier. Right now it's too yellow/orange. Annie Sloan chalk paint has some interesting treatments, but I think I prefer the warmth and richness of a wood piece in favor of a totally painted piece. (However, I don't want a country look!). Has anyone had success with dry brushing paint to neutralize the yellow tone, then waxing over it? Plan on replacing the chairs around dining table to tie in the lighter wood tone on the hutch, and adding a rug under dining table. FYI our kitchen is to the right of the dining area, and it's all white, so another direction could be to paint the hutch in white? I want to stay away from dark colors as I'm trying to lighten things up a bit. Thank you!
