hey guys welcome or welcome back you know the
drill my name is katie i am the owner and artist behind salvaged by k
scott i know you can only see the corner of it but i am so excited to show you
guys this makeover this is
the top of a china hutch that i picked up for free off of facebook marketplace
a few weeks ago as soon as i picked up this two-piece
hutch i knew i was going to separate it and be able to create two completely new
different pieces of furniture i've already made
over the bottom half of this hatch i'll leave a card to that video up there
somewhere and a link down in the description box below
but this video is going to be all about what i did
to the top all right let's head out to the garage and get this party started
this is yet another mid-century modern style piece of furniture
this one is constructed again of particle board
and veneer i promise no real wood was harmed in the filming of this video
i started this makeover by completely disassembling everything
all of the hardware was removed
once i had the doors removed i decided to take the glass out as well
i have never seen this before but the glass was actually held onto the doors
with some upholstery welting and a million little staples
and for safety's sake i took all of the glass from the doors and
left it on the other side of the garage
the center panel was stationary but once i removed all six
screws it popped right out
when i went into lowe's to purchase legs for this piece they were pretty low
in stock this style was the only style they had
four of so that's what i picked up i also already had three of the leg
brackets in my hardware stash so i only needed to
purchase one additional there's a quarter inch board on the
bottom of this that was used to prop it up and give clearance
for the doors to swing open when it was on the original console base
i'm going to need to pry that off and get it out of the way so i can get the
brackets installed where i want them to install the leg hardware i just held it
where i wanted it and marked all four screw holes with my
pencil
once i had everything marked out i drilled some pilot holes and was able to
attach a bracket to each of the four corners
these legs are designed to screw right into the metal brackets
and they're good to go
once i had all four of these spindly legs installed i could quite clearly see
they were not the right choice for this piece so
they came off went back to lowe's the kids and i
stopped in at home depot and picked up some of these two by two
square legs instead
so much better
now it's time to clean there is some melted wax from candles on the top i
just used my putty knife to scrape that away
and then gave the whole piece a really good scrub down with my favorite
tsp
once everything was nice and dry i went over the entire piece with a medium
150 grit sandpaper to scuff up all of the surfaces
and you always want to remember to wipe back any sanding dust
you want your paint to stick to the furniture not to the dust
today i'm going to be using this art minds brand paint
this is a michael's brand this stuff is super
pigmented and very thick
i needed to thin this out considerably to be able to spray it so i poured a few
globs of paint into a separate container and mixed it
with water until i felt i had a good
consistency
to paint this piece i'm using my gravity fed
hvlp pneumatic spray gun
i had originally planned on using some fun pattern wallpaper on the backer
board of this cabinet but the more and more i
thought about it the more i wanted to keep it really
sleek simple and modern so i went ahead and painted the entire
thing inside and out in the same matte black finish
so
remember how i said this was pigmented seriously
one coat coverage i did go back and do a second touch-up coat just for some areas
that i missed but this stuff covers so well
to protect my new black finish i'm using minwax polycrylic in clear satin
when you're sealing dark colors with a poly top coat sometimes they can get
blotchy to prevent that you can make your own
tinted poly just by mixing a tiny bit of paint with
the poly before you apply it you can see i did
that by just not cleaning out my gun i applied two coats of this tinted
polycrylic and then rinsed out my gun and applied the final coat
with just the straight up polycrylic now to reinstall the glass into the door
frames i'm going to be using some clear silicone
this is gorilla brand
once i have all the glass placed back inside each frame i'll take my caulking
gun and run a small bead of this clear
silicone caulking around the edges once the silicone is
dry this gorilla brand takes about 30
minutes it will hold that glass in place
now all that's left to do is put it all back together
