Crafty Updates

Pete helped me hang the memo board I made.  I loaded it up with pictures a few nights ago and it's super cute.  If your adorable baby and/or stunningly gorgeous family is not on there, it's because you haven't given me a picture...get on that!!

Another project I've been working on in my spare time (haha) is refinishing this hutch.  We bought this for $100 on Craigslist (after looking for 5 months, I finally found one with potential : ). 
We took all the doors and drawers apart.  I sanded it lightly and primed it.
I painted it a smoky grayish/blue color and Pete helped me by replacing all the hardware (door knobs, hinges, etc).  Here's the finished product!
This is what it looks like with the doors open.
It's the perfect size for storing my two sets of antique china, plus all my serving pieces and stemware.  And, it looks great in the room!

  2. The hutch turned out gorgeous! So wish I had room in my house for fun things like that. (oh wait...I have boys who would just break them anyway)
