This was an older hutch, oak in color. I took off the top glass doors off, put wood putty where the hinges were. I lightly sanded the hutch and cleaned it with TSP. Finally I primed and then painted black first. I used a candle to put wax on the area's I wanted to look distressed. After the black dried, I lightly sanded again, before I sprayed the red paint on. I lightly sanded the hutch once more, concentrating on the black to show through. Finally I glazed the hole hutch in a black. Black baskets were added to add to the appeal.

Gorgeous!
Can I ask which red paint you used? It's the perfect shade for my next project!
