Hutch #5 and Room Color Reveal!

Yes, I got another hutch. But in my defense this is only my 4th. One is in my daughter’s room. But when I saw this on Craigslist I knew I had to have it. It had the perfect gardeny cottagey feel I was going for in our bedroom. When I got it home I gave it a good sanding, slapped some white paint on it and distressed it to give it that well worn look. (Which you can’t tell it has in this picture!)

Do you like it?

Do you see the yellow wall in the background? That’s our new bedroom color and I LOVE it!

Here is the old mauvish color in contrast to the new lighter and brighter yellow color.

Our bedroom gets nothing but indirect lighting so we needed a color that would help brighten up the room and this yellow did the job. I’m in the process of redoing our current bedroom furniture so the BIG reveal will have to wait.

Meanwhile you all remember my daughter’s orange walls right?

Well here are her new and greatly improved bedroom walls!

Isn’t it beautiful? I just love it. It’s so pretty and fun. We are in the process of getting her a different bed and hanging her curtains. She totally loves it.

Up next? The boys room, then the kitchen, then the office/craft room, our bathroom, the kids bathroom and possibly the dining room. OY!

I won’t be complaining about being bored for a VERY long time.

Have a fabulous day my friends!

  3. I wished you lived nearby so you could look out for more hutches for me! Maybe your hubby would appreciate you looking for someone else for a change? LOVE the new looks! VERY nice! Are you having breathing troubles being up so high in altitude? LOL!

  5. Kim it looks awesome and I'm so jealous. I love the cottagey feel too but my husband and I comprimised and I promised no yellow in the bedroom and no shabby chic decor BUT I still plan to use country cottage elements and this would be perfect. Your daughter's room looks so cute too!

  7. Love the colors and the hutch! Do you hire out? I suppose airfare would be the largest portion of the bill for me, huh?

  13. I'm so jealous of that hutch, would love one just like that. I'll have to start searching Craigslist for myself. Great job on the rooms. You sound a lot like me, I love to have a decorating project. My problem is a lack of funds to do all that I'd like to. Still, I do a little at a time. Have fun with your future projects.

  15. Those colors are beautiful! And I love your daughter's hardwood flooring. What a great new place to call home. I'm just a teensy tiny bit jealous of your ambition, though. If you ever have extra, could you send some my way?

    Oh, and her hutch is fantastic! Wow! Love all the organized storage!
