The hutch turned out great. However, since both bee knobs are on the top doors, I think the drawer door knobs should match, and the bottom knobs should match. There aren't enough knobs to really "mix it up", and the way it is, it looks too intentional of trying to mix it up. Hope this makes sense. And others might think it looks fine 😁.

Also, although I love the green/wood look, I would have liked you to paint the inside of the glassed doors. It's so noticeable when you open them, it looks unfinished.

Graham is seriously the GOAT (greatest of all time)! He goes so above & beyond. Seeing him strap that hutch on top of his car was crazy. ❤

I think the hutch turned out great. The mismatched knobs feel like you are trying too hard - I think they need to be replaced with matching knobs on the bottom section.

This DIY was so fun and easy! Highly recommend for the weekend warrior!

You had me until the mix matched knobs. There's nothing more classic for a piece like this than a wooden knob that is exact same paint color as the piece.

Actually they go well with the rest of the kitchen, kinda tying up the pink and green furniture together

You won't believe how long I have been waiting for an AG video!!

Graham attaching it to the top of his Volkswagen is incredible- I'm obsessed and so glad it cleared the garage!

I’m not really one for the distressed look myself, BUT I will say that I’m quite fond of and appreciate the fact that you took into consideration the higher traffic areas and were intentional about where you placed the scuff marks. Nicely done! You may have made me a fan of the distressed look after all, AG. I’m excited for Saturday’s video!

I usually kinda can't stand the 'distressed' look, but this piece actually feels really good. It sort of made me travel to Italy or France. And man, I love when we get to see different team members in a shot and when they are not hiding from the camera (coughAlanacough). It brings more variety and it warms my heart. Love from Vancouver! ❤

I think Team AG needs a truck 😂

I was just thinking the same thing! 😂

The color you picked is lovely. I would've stuck to all the same knobs on the piece though. It gives the impression that some were missing and the owner just used whatever was on hand...too much variety.

Now you need some old fashioned wallpaper on the inside walls of the hutch. I love what you did, the wax was a great finish. Cool.

Welcome back - hope you had a fun and relaxing vacation. Could not believe that Graham was not only able to carry that hutch on his own, but that he actually transported it on top of his car 🚘 😮! It was a lovely color green you painted, and a relief that you didn’t overdo the distressed look. Can’t wait to see the whole renovation!

Immediately thought “ain’t no way he’s putting the hutch on that tiny car?!” 😳 Welp I was wrong😂

@@QueenOfKings0402 oh haha, that makes me think of the fact I personally love “industrial” mixed with hipster vibes, but it’s really just interchangeable with “urban outfitters” 🤣. I’m pretty unoriginal. But shoutout to the girlies who love cottagecore/shabby chic, which I think is more original than my Buclay ottoman that’s trendy

Love this! Xo McCenna used to do a similar format, where she'd do a video on a DIY she'd be using in a makeover, and then the next video was the makeover. I loved that - I felt like I got to spend more time in the makeover process with her. And she got double the content out of a single makeover, and posted more often. I hope you keep doing this format

The distressed areas look intentional. Bee knobs are cute but the unmatched look also looks intentional.

I think it is cute, but the bottom knobs just look like someone got sloppy putting them on, not that they are eclectic. It looks weird that they match each other but on different doors.

Love it! Except for the mismatched knobs..

Looks great 👍🏻 love the bee knobs, well all of them. But them bees be awesome!

I love the bee knobs so much 🙂

I furnished my first house with Kijiji furniture. I love Kijiji! We have always had a hatchback car, and the sellers always tell us their stuff won't fit, but it almost always does (we had to take apart an electric fire place once, but we still got it). I find people on Kijiji are more reliable than FB Marketplace too. Great job bringing the hutch back to the studio Graham!!

I adore the bee knobs!🐝 Wonderful to see all the steps in transforming the hutch. Nice work!

Would love more stand alone diy videos like this! 😊

I don't have a hutch -- I have a pie safe. It's oak, and was purchased at an estate sale by my great-grandparents, who gave it to my grandparents, who passed it down to my parents, and now it's in my dining room. My grandfather stripped and refinished the outside f it maybe 60 years ago, but the paint on the inside is original, as far as I know: mint green, VERY flat, with no sheen at all and quite opaque. My mother never liked the color, but it matches my dishes, and looks quit nice in my dining room, where the walls are papered in a yellow floral.

It's been tooooo long 🥹❤️ I can't wait to see the whole makeover ✨️

Yay! Thanks for the teaser! Been jonesing for some Team AG!!!

Petition to get Graham a van!

Oh, thank you SO MUCH for posting this video RIGHT NOW. Just finished watching the Trump arraignment news and really need a mind reset.

Maybe I missed it. Did you clean the Hutch first, then give it a light sanding before the first coat of green paint? I always find the inside of bottom cabinets so dark. I've painted inside all my bottom cabinets white so I can see things easier. My trick for putting glass shelves in a cabinet or shelf or other is that I get towels and put them on the glass where I'm going to hold on to the glass. That way, I don't dirty the glass, cut myself, and I have better control holding the glass therefore less likely to scrap or scratch the back and sides. And, it's time to get a Team Work Van. Not ok for an Employee to have to use their own car where there is potential for injury of Employee and their car

Looks terrific… bee knobs 😮So cute 👏🏻👏🏻

So fantastic that you’re revamping this classic hutch and inspiring others to do the same.

Looks good a Galanz 10 cu.ft. Retro Top Freezer Refrigerator, Bebop Blue possibly looks good in this kitchen design I think they make a stove that looks 1940s too

I love how you are so versatile in your design aesthetics. Lovely video and amazing DIY

Yessss deep dives into the DIYs is brilliant

Love the hutch I’m not a fan of chalk paint, but I love the way it looks. Distressing it makes it look like you have had it for years like it came out of my grandmothers house! And love the knobs, the eclectic look the bees knees.❤❤❤❤ OK onto the next one to see how you style this now❤❤❤

Boy as someone who is staying in an old rv in NY to spend time with my kids. I so wish you could make this look cottagey inside and out.

Love this video! Seeing you all look and decide together.

Love it. Can’t wait for the makeover!

Great DIY! Can't wait to see the Saturday video....from the cottage!

Very charming. Can't wait to see Part 2.❤

Where were you ? So glad to have you back ! Can't wait for Saturday's video ! Great DIY as usual 😊 Go team AG !

I love this hutch. You two did a great job. ❤

Great job! I love how the paint really highlights all the details in the hutch.

This hutch and the pantry door y'all added heavily contributed to this kitchen being my favorite AG kitchen so far!😻

Can't wait to see the whole makeover. Hutch turned out nice.

The hutch is stunning!!!

Nice. The distressed looks appropriate for your desired room effect. Those knobs!!! Grand and lavish detail.

Ok, I admit that I was dubious as to whether I wanted to watch an entire episode on a hutch transformation but I'm so glad I did. The end result is amazing❣ Excited to see the full reveal.

Oh that hutch turned out looking really awesome. I also love the color you chose. Both you and Graham are so good at all you do.

Have a great day sending love and hugs, bye! 😍🤗💜💜💜

Love the 2 part video!!! Here for it! ❤

I Love this hutch! It looks like one my grandma had back in the day. As usual you and Graham created a masterpiece!!

I like how the wax showed the subtle sanding areas too, made it look even more antique. And those knows ❤ I usually don't like cottage core, but this is really nicely done. ❤
