I'm hooking up to Jennifer Rizzo's Hook up your Hutch Party!
I love our dining room hutch. I had always admired the rustic pine hutches in a local country store. I wanted one to go with our Mennonite pine table and chairs we bought with wedding money (18 years ago) but they were always out of my budget.
I found this distressed black solid pine beauty on kijiji from a local lady who had bought it at the same Country Mile store that I frequented. She was moving overseas and I got it for a steal. It is so well made and the shelves are very strong. The drawers are dovetailed and double fronted.
I love seeing it from the front entry filled with my beginning collection of white dishes and vintage linens.
The little plaster impression piece was made by our youngest at an art studio and is very special.
In the kitchen we have a smaller hutch to hold my Cream Lace by Skye McGhee collection and some blue and white pieces (it is arranged differently now though.) It was plain pine but I painted it Cloud White (BM) and a mistint aqua back in 2008.
I've been searching kijiji and craigslist for a large, but shallow, hutch for this wall. I would love to store all my baking items in it. In the meantime, I plan to pick up a pair of taller shelf units for storage on my next trip to IKEA (when I find the perfect large hutch I can always reuse the inexpensive shelving in our cold storage room.)
Now I'm off to check out the other hutches at Jennifer's Hook up your Hutch Party!
*** My Welcome Fall post is below. They both conincided and were scheduled for the same day.***
