The Dining Room Hutch… Before

Today, I am back with another quick post about the dining room. Kevin was given this really neat old dining room hutch from a past client who knew how much we loved a good old diy project. It had been sitting in her garage for a long time! It’s nothing much to look at now, but we have huge plans for this old thing…

We already started the process… It’s going to be fabulous when it’s all done! You can’t tell from this cell phone photo, but isn’t she a beauty?

Dining Hutch Before

To Do’s-

1. Fill in any imperfections.

2. Get new wood for the lower cabinet doors, back & one side.

3. Order cabinet hardware. They just came in yesterday!

4. Select paint color & purchase!

5. Get it done.

So I still have a little ways to go on this baby, but I seriously couldn’t wait another second to tell you guys about this lil project! Oh, in case you haven’t seen the other dining room to-do… check it out here. What do you think? Any color preferences… do tell. What are you guys painting these days?

PS- We have a fun giveaway happening… don’t forget to sign up to enter!

    I absolutely love your color scheme. I reminds me of my childhood in Miami Beach, and your knobs are perfect matches. I think it will all work out fantastic with the rest of your dining room. I love those metal chairs. You are such an amazing DIY/ Interior designer. You have a clear idea and you do it! Congrats!

    I’m happy you’ve started posting again, but when will there be follow up posts to your projects you’ve blogged about. Example: gallery wall, kitchen, new flooring, curtains for the office, etc.

    Thanks!

  • ☀️ Sea + Sun + Smiles We drove across the state last week for a vacay with family! Had a great time and I was so in the moment, I only took a few photos! We had incredible weather and basically lived our best lives all day on the beach and in the pool together! . . I have had a few messages asking where I have been on insta…. The truth is, I have been soaking up time with my kids, working on a few home updates and spending as much time at the beach and in our pool
