fairfarmhand Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I have this hutch that I use to display my grandmothers dishes. I’m thinking of adding a peel and stick wallpaper to the back of the shelves. Would that look ok? I’m thinking something in the light colors. With a subtle pattern that won’t take away from the dishes that I love to display. What do you think? (ive toyed with the idea of painting the hutch in the future. Red, if I paint it.)

Katy Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I think it would look fine, but it would probably be more work than painting it red. I’d probably go for a cranberry milk paint in a historic color, but that’s only because I’ve been dying to paint some furniture red ever since I saw them paint a red desk on Stone House Revival like 5 years ago. Like many men, DH is instinctively against painting wood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I think it would look great. I would do that rather than paint, because I hate painting. Dh would paint it. Actually he wouldn’t. He doesn’t think anyone should paint wood. 🙈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I would go with paint. Your dishes are really pretty, so a lighter interior will make them stand out beautifully. I think red will blend with the medium-brown wood tones possibly too much? So I would lean towards a nice, vanilla-cream color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I just saw a trick where if you are woried you won't love it forever, you can cut some cheap foam board to fit that space and wrap that with the wallpaper, then stick it in there. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garga Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Wooden antiques: do not paint. Wooden trim in an old house: do not paint. A modern or semi-modern piece of furniture, especially if it’s low-medium quality: paint your heart out! I like the twig paper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 Actually.. what I meant was I've thought of painting the whole thing red. My dh is of the "never paint wood" club. But the finish on this thing is rough. And he doesn't want to refinish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dd and I have all kinds of ideas for some distressed wood items and what not, and Mark just gets this depressed, puppy dog, anxiety riddled face and whines, 'But we don't paint wood!" I tell him to go eat a piece of chocolate, grab a cup of coffee, and chill because it will all be over with soon. You'd think we said we were going to roast his pet rabbit or something. 😂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 You can do peel and stick on a board or cardboard and get the look without adhering it to the hutch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why live for years with something you dislike just because it is "better" or "more authentic" or whateve.r 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think we said we were going to roast his pet rabbit or something. 😂 We just moved from a house we lived in for 25 years. Paneled den, only thr patio door for outside windows. Wood beams. The paneling was very nice looking wood, but it was dated and dark. I always wanted to paint it…at least half way to lighten up thr room. He had a the exact same reaction…..mental breakdown. I lost Thst one every time. I hear the new owners want an all White House…..I assume That room will be the first wood they paint. No worries…I did get custom kitchen and bathrooms over the years. And yes, it may be painted white someday. Sigh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
