Hutch Revamp

Well on my birthday Darin and I got myself a few presents. One of them was a hutch off of craigslist. I have been wanting a hutch for a while so when I saw one that fit the bill I snatched it up. I negotiated it down from $50 to $40 then she offered to deliver it to our house for an extra $5. I wonder if I could have gotten it for less. I am still working on my bargaining skills.

It didn't look horrible when we first bought it, but it wasn't exactly what I wanted so we sanded, painted, adjusted, papered, accessorized and ta da! I love it. It looks so great with my Jadite collection.

The one thing that I still don't know about is the natural wood doors and drawers. I thought about paining them a green color. I bought it with the intention of stripping off those areas to give it a more vintage look. I was surprised to find the wood colored the way that it was. The two tone colors are quite interesting. I am still thinking that over, but it is nice to finally have a place to display dishes.
