A Hutch Redone!

So I needed something to use as an entryway table in between my front door and coat closet. The space was screaming for some color. I found this "not so beautiful" hutch at our local thrift shop for just $25! I know most people probably walked right by it thinking, ugh! that thing isn't worth $25. But, if you took a closer look, it was a very solid piece of furniture and it only had very minor flaws. With a little sanding and about 3 cans of spray paint, it was reborn!

I got these knobs at Lowes, but they were too brassy looking for me. I found some handles that I loved (see below) and I liked the shape of these knobs but wanted them to match the handles a little better, so I took a Scotch Pad and sandpaper to them and aged them a little bit, see below.

 Love these beauties!

Now I have the perfect place to store all of our board games!

All supplies were purchased at Lowes.

3 Cans of Valspar "New Avocado" Spray Paint

2 Knobs

2 Handles

Total about $20.00 + $25 for hutch =$45 for one really cool piece!



We Bought a House!

We just purchased our first home! It is pre-manufactured home, so right now it looks more like a very large trailer than a house, but with a beautful porch and a garage added, I just know we can make it look like our home. I can't wait! I packed my first boxes in today, but we are still a long way from getting moved in. I want to do some painting first before we haul all of the furniture over there. It sets on 10 acres of land, has 5 bedrooms and 3 baths! Much larger than our 3br, 2ba trailer! I will have my own craft room once again and my baby boy will have his own room. My husband will have a "man cave", at least until we have another child or two....LOL. I'm not giving up my craft room!

These pictures were taken before the previous owners moved out, so ignore the gorgeous furniture that's not mine. LOL.

THE BEST PART: the kitchen! It's probably not very sanitary, but I just drool over it.

The next best thing, the master bath! Has his/hers walk-in closets!! and a beautiful tub!



Well that is it for now, till I get moved in and I'll share more photos. I just wanted to share it with you all and warn you that I may not be posting much within the next week or two, because I'll be moving in!

Also, before I go, I wanted you to know there is a sale going on Sunday at MyGrafico 40% off!!
