Most nights while I sit on the couch and watch the evening news I open a new tab on my browser and search the overwhelming classifieds on craigslist. I always seem to get sucked in.
Recently I have been looking for a hutch, velvet chair, yellow chair and old dresser. I have learned that if you use key words like “old” vs “vintage” your more likely to find some hidden goodies that are lower in price.
A few weeks ago while at a thrift store I noticed this small hutch that was being used for displaying vintage dinnerware. Of course the tag on the hutch said ” for display only” OF COURSE, right.
It’s so hard to walk away from what I thought was the perfect little hutch. And don’t worry, I tried begged them to sell it to me.
I added a few new knobs I got at anthropologie and hobby lobby to the drawer and doors.
I just love seeing the transformation of a unwanted piece of furniture. Sometimes the outside looks so ugly and unwanted, but with a little extra love it can shine and look new again.
~amy~ - What a fun transformation!
Julia - What a score!! I’ve been scouring craigslist for a hutch too! This one is perfect!
Kayse - This is fabulous! I love the colorful yarn in a white hutch!!!!
Johanna - What a cool way to spice up an old antique cupboard! Would love to have one like that in my home too
