The china cabinet came out gorgeous! It is so much prettier white than plain old wood. The blue glass looks absolutely beautiful against the white. You have many pretty pieces.<br />I have used both chalk and regular paint...I prefer the chalk, it goes on faster as well as dries faster than the regular paint. I do love my green hutch, though...that took 4 coats of bright green...thought I would never get it finished and dry enough to use it.<br />Keep enjoying your gorgeous china cabinet! Have a great week, JoAnn.Marigenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00313503976938859618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068392907360378021.post-80573805294294883042016-09-20T08:58:40.177-07:002016-09-20T08:58:40.177-07:00It turned out beautiful.

I have one from my grandmother of a similar shape, but it is a milky white with hand painted flowers on the outside. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068392907360378021.post-40453104372103763302016-09-19T21:07:41.647-07:002016-09-19T21:07:41.647-07:00Most of my furniture was once white and stripped b...Most of my furniture was once white and stripped back to the original oak finish.

You should be very please with it!<br /><br />I've never used chalk paint but your experience sure is sobering. Some paints really don't cover well, do they? I bought a 17" unfinished letter "K" for my craft room recently. After the primer coat I had to paint either 4 or 5 coats of red until I finally got it finished today. It's a trim color I've used in the room and have had to do coat after coat after coat on everything I've painted. I like the shade of red but don't like how hard it is to use it.

The stark white of the cabinet is a beautiful backdrop behind the blue glassware. I can only imagine the hours of hard work that you put in to make your vintage hutch into the beauty it is today.
