A New Project

I have a new project I am going to begin working on this week. A little kitchen hutch I had in storage that I did not want to part with. It will work perfect at the edge of my kitchen to keep my cookbooks in the top and use the bottom as a buffet area when needed. I will keep linens in the drawer and some counter top appliances in the bottom area until needed.

A while back I shared about another hutch I replaced the broken glass in the doors with chicken wire. Don't worry, I did not replace that hutch with this one! I moved that hutch to the corner of my open living/dining/kitchen area.

Now I am trying to decide on a color for the kitchen hutch. I am renting so I can't change the color of my kitchen (unfortunately). We'll just ignore that color. I try so hard to.

Whatever color I paint this hutch, I am going to distress it and give it a nice antique wash and change out the hardware with something more vintage. I will share some pics and how-to's.

Now, if I can just decide on a color.....

Love this green.
White works with everything.
I love this buttery yellow.




I also like this green/blue color.

And, red. I love red. I just cannot live without red in my decor. I also like the hardware on this cabinet.

I need help. I would love your opinion!

Kitchen Hutch

I bought an old white hutch at the auction several years ago. As I have explained before, I was planning on opening a gifts and antiques shop where I used to live and I thought this hutch would make a great display piece. I also figured I would use it personally, too. As it was being moved from our driveway to my storage room down the street from where we lived at the time, the glass (hand poured glass I might add) broke in one of the doors. I was so sad. All this time it has been in storage and one door had no glass.

As I have been emptying out my storage rooms I finally moved the hutch to my home a few weeks ago and placed it in my kitchen. I bought some chicken wire and replaced the glass with chicken wire. I am quite pleased with the result. I think it goes well with the coastal cottage look I am transitioning to.

Below are two pictures of before and after.
