Happy 2011 and Hutch Makeover!

I hope 2011 treats us all well, and if not we all have our blogging friends to lean on!

 I spent last night in chat with some of the forum girls (we all have no lives yes we know lol)

Anyway, we got to talking about decorating and

Karen at The Barely There Primitive Bear was saying

we should just re-do the furniture we have...sooo I did!

I was checking out her hutch pictures and started looking at some on line and figured

I CAN DO THIS!!

Well, today it was in the 50's here so,

I dragged the hutch out side and sanded it and re-did the whole thing!!

I think it came out pretty good, if I do say so myself. =)

Thank you Karen for the kick in the butt lol!!

Thank you also to who ever said in chat

"What you do on New Years Day sets what you will do all year",

I thought that I would do something productive,
maybe I will have these days all year lol!

Anyway, onto the pictures: It is not complete I need advice for bottom piece...

On the doors where the holes are should I:

1) Curtains

2) New Wood

3) Chicken Wire

4) Any other ideas?

I also need knobs on it as well oh ya and,


maybe some decorations would be nice too lol!


 ^ A little to cutesy country for me!
 Much Better!!
^ Now for this decision, Mmmmm!!
Thanks For Looking!

Punched tin would work as well but I think I would use a spring like on an old screen door and use some distressed homespun. And knobs? I may be stuck in the day, but I still like white porcelain---or ivory.
It looks great! Big improvement.....

I like the idea of chicken wire to show off some of your favorite big pieces if you have any and for the knobs, I like the aged bronze with the black. I am sure whatever you choose will look nice as you got it this far.

Wow Jan! I love the new look! So much nicer than the green (I have to much of it myself and need to make some changes!) I think the chicken wire would look great myself.
Looks like everyone is getting ready for Valentines day on their blogs-I better go check out some new backgrounds and get moving!
Blessings,
Sheila

I like the chicken wire idea or some homespun fabric would look great too. For knobs, I'd go with wooden stained to match the inside. It looks great and you did an awesome job on it! I really enjoy our chat nights too! Y'all never fail to make me laugh!
Hugs,
Donna

Great job on your makeover. Any of your ideas for the doors are good - it just depends on whether or not you want to be able to see what is inside.

Have a Blessed New Year!

It was me that said *What you do on New Years Day you do all Year*!! Great job! I would go with chicken wire orrrrr if you can get your hands on it old tin ceiling tiles that are rusted and prim would look awesome!

Donna said...

I think Chicken Wire would look awesome Jan!!
