I have been in love with this hutch (below) for months and months…in fact, I have it pinned to at least two different Pinterest boards!
I haunted Craigslist for days/weeks/months/(who knows) to find a similar piece for a good price, and finally came across this one:
Everybody wins!
So the hutch came home in April, I think…and then it sat….and sat…and sat…until finally I was ready to do something with my dining room.
I had a different vision for the backing other than beadboard, but I had to bring the hutch inside before I got to it in order to keep it “safe” from other garage projects.
I placed it against the dining room wall that was supposed to be it’s new home…and promptly hated it.
It was too. darn. big.
Sadly, I knew right then that it wasn’t staying. I decided to use beadboard for the backing, painted a couple of shades darker than the rest of the hutch.
After putting it all together, I could appreciate that it was a pretty piece…just not for me! It has moved on to a new home now.
<Sigh.> Better luck next time!

Beautiful makeover! I wish we could fit a hutch in our dining room. Best we can do now is a corner cabinet.

that looks like a beast to paint and it turned out beautifully!
i one you loved is really big and looks even bigger than the one that you have. in the little bit that i can see to me it looks just fine. i live with things for a week and if i still do not like it i might try a new place and if that does not work then i would get rid.
Beautiful!! I hope you find what you are looking for soon.

It is gorgeous! I'm so sad you couldn't keep it. Hope you find a similar, but smaller piece soon. Have a lovely week.

Gorgeous! I have that same hutch pinned to my Pinterest Board as well, but I think I like yours more! The plate storage is awesome!

PS- Would love to have you share & link up at ReLoved Fridays! The link party is open until Monday!
WOW-what a transformation. And good for you for figuring out a way to get it! Proves, where there is a will, there is a way :)
I love to see outdated furniture come back to life and this piece sure has.
Thanks for sharing, came your way from Miss Mustard Seed's Furniture Feature Friday.

So beautiful Korrie! I would have been tempted to keep this one! Featured you at the party this morning!
oh my gosh! all that work and now it's moved on. lol
I have sentimental attachment to my things, even things that are fleeting. It's hard to give stuff up...not sure how you do it.
anyhoo, it's a beautiful piece and you did a fabulous job Korie!!

It looks so pretty now, Korrie! I can see why you searched high and low for the hutch - it offers everything you could want in a hutch. I especially love the plate rack on it.
I hope you'll drop in and share it at the Vintage Inspiration Party today!
Blessings,

You wheeler dealer you. Proves where there is a will there is a way. Too bad the way wasn't on your dining room wall. It still turned out excellent.
