Another HUGE Hutch Finished ~

Remember this?


This was my weekend project.  It is, by far, the largest piece I have ever done. 
I found it on Craigs List 6 months ago.  It was so big, I had to borrow a Pick Up truck to haul the top portion of the the hutch.  The base of the hutch measure 96" across. 


This is the top portion on its side.  
It is so large, I need help moving it and setting it upright without damaging it.  


I took the easy route on priming it. I spray primed it. No sanding, just priming.


Here is the finished product. I love it.  
I used an industrial paint sprayer to paint it. I have never used a paint sprayer before, but I think I'm in love. It took about 30 minutes to spray on 2 coats. 
It used much more paint than normal, but I'm okay with that since it only took 30 mins. to paint.  
The sprayer took some getting used to, but after a little practice, it was great.  
I didn't have to get it perfect either since I was going to distress it anyway.  



This is the center piece of my new booth. Oh, did I mention, I am expanding my furniture empire? I moved into a new booth this weekend and it should be finished tomorrow.  Pictures of the new booth to follow...
