We started by taking off all the doors, all the hardware, and the moulding along the top. Sure enough, it was a perfect fit! With the furniture dilemma solved, it was time to give the hutch a much-needed makeover. The hutch sat in the garage, ready to be sold on Craige’s List or at a yard sale for a few weeks…afterall, we had no place and no need for it (or so we thought!)įast forward a few weeks…after a while of looking around for the perfect console table to fit inside our front door, it occurred to us to give the china hutch a try. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), the store wouldn’t sell us just the base, so we took both units home. The problem was, we didn’t want the top hutch, only the buffet underneath. The base to this china hutch (that we found in a local shop) was ideal for just that purpose! The size, shape, doors, hardware, and condition were all exactly what I was looking for AND, at $250 for the entire solid wood china hutch, we were more than tempted. You see…I had been on the hunt for a solid wood dresser to turn into a TV/media stand for our family room. The story starts here with this dining room china hutch. And while the decorations themselves didn’t take me more than an hour or so, the items in the background (the hutch and the mirror) have been makeover projects a LONG time in the making! As promised, today I am going to tell you all about that two-toned hutch, which serves as the foundation to our new entryway. On Monday, I showed you our fall display.
