A Sweet New Hutch

You might remember me telling you all about a hutch that Scottie and Addie helped me buy when we went to a thrift store called The Big Red Shed one Saturday in April.

I only chose it because Scottie said he could fix it up for me!

I knew it was not sturdy enough the way it was.

Here is the way it looked when we brought it home, minus the plastic “glass” that had been in the upper doors.


On Mother’s Day weekend, Scottie basically rebuilt the inside of that hutch!

He put in much better shelving throughout and it made a huge difference.

It is sturdy now!!


I loved the color that the inside (and actually the outside!) of the hutch was painted, so Blake took a drawer to have the inside paint color matched.

Even though we got the same color, I re-painted the entire inside of the hutch to give it a fresh, clean look!

Such a pretty light blue color!!


Blake then took the plastic “glass” that was slid into the upper doors of the hutch and got real glass cut to fit those openings.

This also was a great addition to the finished look!

Here is a before and after photo!


Finding solutions to our small spaces here is one of my favorite things.

I also work hard to make sure we only keep things that we actually use or need – in the kitchen or else where in our home!

This hutch gets used hard and I just love having it!

The smaller cabinet that was in that corner is now in our downstairs bathroom serving a great purpose there!

Well, typing this post has me wanting to paint something, ha, ha!

Good thing I do not have a second of time for that right now!!

Anyone out there like to go to thrift stores and find great treasures too??

I love a good thrift find when it is so very useful, don’t you?!
