My new hutch.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a little impulsive. Often times I'll just begin something after I get a sudden bit of inspiration and that's what happened Friday night around 8pm. I have been wanting to do something to this hutch for awhile and had already made sure that my uncle (who bought the hutch for my grandma) didn't want it. It was in great condition which makes painting it way easy! I decided to remove the two upper cabinet doors and I'm undecided about whether I will put them back on or not, but for now they remain off opening up the space and forcing it to remain uncluttered! Here's the unstaged after pic...

I knew that I wanted to buy some new hardware for it so I made a quick run to Home Depot and spotted some great Martha Stewart pulls that I loved and some simple brushed nickel knobs! I thought that all pulls were made the same and that the holes would just line up....well that was not the case so I had to drill new holes. The problem was I didn't have a drill bit so I ventured into the garage and after searching through my grandpa's tools for awhile...I found one! It doesn't take much to make make me happy and this little thing did it...using power tools is so empowering :-)

The new pulls... And knobs...

I added some new contact paper and organized the drawers...
So here's a final look at the before....
And after...

I really love the way it turned out and I think it goes nicely with the look of my living room! I'm still not completely pleased with the accessories I have so that's a work in progress. Hmm..I think a trip to Home Goods might be in order :-)
