Okay so here she is......... I think she may be a little overstuffed with pretties, it's still a work in progress but I thought I would show you what I have accomplished! I decided to leave the aqua for now, I kind of like the color with all my white couches, so I'm leaving it (; I have some tweaking to do but I'm happy with the end results so far, I also took a pic of the dish I made a while back, I bought the dish at goodwill and then added my broken china pieces to the lid, I also did a teapot, it was a lot of work cutting the china, I think you need really good glass cutters for this type of project (; Did you notice my feather tree with the hearts on it, I got a whole bag for a dollar at a church thrift store, they are all hand stitched. I was happy to be able to display some of my favorite teacups from my Nana's collection, I think she would be pleased. I decided to put the old knobs back on the hutch, they're porcelain and made in Japan, I was going to use wooden ones but I really like the original ones after I tried them.

Hi Kelly, the hutch is gorgeous. Your pretties really show up nicely against the aqua. (accidentally deleted my prev. post)

Amazing job on your hutch! I love that it's filled with lots of pretties. :) There's a coziness to it when it's filled up. ;)
Oh, I think it looks beautiful! The knobs look great..I'm not sure I would have liked wooden. Everything does show up nicely! Great Job!

The mosaic dish is gorgeous, as is the hutch! Looks really nice, Kelly.
Are you an interior decorator? ;)

Hi Kelly! Wow it looks fantastic! Really pretty against the brick wit the white couches; I don't think it is "suffed" at all.

It looks just beautiful. You should be very proud. It's a big job. I need to do something similar (painting) for my hutch and I'm dreading it!

I don't think the hutch is overstuffed at all! It looks beautiful! I have always wanted a hutch to put all my goodies on, but I have yet to find the "perfect" one! Yours is gorgeous!
Wow, what a fabulous job you did on the hutch. It looks beautiful filled with all of your lovely china and other bits & pieces. I would so love to have a hutch like that in my dining room or living room. Maybe someday !!
Hi Kelly!
It looks great! What a great find that was...and the transformation has been quick! I'll bet you worked so hard!
Wow, I LOVE IT!!! I so envious...it's so big and there is so much room to display all your pretties!!! I don't think it looks overstuffed at all!
I do not think it is overstuffed at all. Just perfect! You did a great job with it being so dark originally. Just more sweetness to you beautiful house.
Kelly, I've had my share painting furniture, and just looking at this piece, I know it took a lot of work. The aqua background is perfect. Wonderful job well done!
I love it!!!! I once received a greeting card with a picture of a beautiful hutch like this .... I kept it for years! :)
This is bound to provide many hours of great entertainment! LOL! : )

Kelly,
PERFECT!! Absolutley Beautiful...you did a great job!
Wow, Kelly!! You did an amazing job, I think the hutch looks wonderful. What a great new life you have given it. I also love the covered dish and your feather tree. It looks like you had a great time redoing that piece and then decorating it.

Kelly,
It turned out so beautiful! I love it and I love the aqua! I like the original knobs. Your dishes look perfect! I know that you are glad to be finished! I wish that I was...but then I would be just starting another project! LOL
After I finish my china cabinet, I'm gonna paint my old dresser for my bedroom. So many projects...so little time!

BEAUTIFUL. The hutch is fabulous, you did a knock out job. And it is displayed so nicly with all your lovely things. It seems aqua is the new color for redoing furniture. My daughter just painted her desk in that color. TTFN

I love how it looks and all your pretty rose china in it as well as all the other pretty goodies.
Love the makeover! Great job on the distressing, it's perfect. I had to blow it up to ogle over every detail!

Good morning Kelly! I haven't had time to do anything else with the hutch yet. I've been so busy at work! I'm exausted whenever I get home. I'm leaning towards the fabric idea. That way I can change it out more often. I thought maybe a pink or green toille or maybe a small floral. I'm not sure. I will have to play with it.
Hugs,
Lee Laurie
Your hutch looks great! I love your mosaic project also. I have some silver pieces that I never use and I think they could use a little jazzing up like this!
Hi Kelly!
yes, that is the name of one of the stores that sell it. I gave everyone the link to the main site because then they could go to "where to buy" and pick from anywhere they wanted. But yes, I know that site and love it too :)
I am in the process of getting an account with them , so hopefully my little site will have some soon too!
Have a great weekend sweetie!! and thank you so much for your comments too!! I am sooooo lovin that hutch girly it looks Spectacular!! I bet you look at it every day and say "YES, I am so glad I did it" :) fabulous hun!
xoxo Cyn
Your hutch turned out beautiful.....great job....
You asked me where I bought the drawer pulls....I bought them at Anthropologie...they have the best stuff there....I don't get there to often...wish there was a store close to me.....
Hugs,

Define overstuffed! I don't think it's in my vocabulary!!! Gorgeous piece. Adore it.
I stopped by to wish you a happy weekend! Don't you miss LeAnn's blog?! I sure miss her!

Hello Kelly!
What a nice professional job you did on your hutch! That looked like a big job; I'm glad you had the intestinal fortitude to stick with it (you did fast, too!)! That piece will stand the test of time - I bet you never get tired of it!
Good job!

Oh Kelly it looks so pretty!!! The aqua looks great. I agree it goes well with your white slipcovered sofas. But a bit overstuffed, I think less would look better.
Kelly, stop by my blog... I'm doing a give away! ;)
~Liz
I have saved your blog to my favorites...but it always opens up to the day I saved it...I can't find your home page or a place to click to find newer blogs. Unless you don't update daily.
could you please let me know how to find your current postings...

thanks. I so enjoyed this page.

Oh my goodness! I love it! Actually, I have had thoughts to paint mine from white to a gray or bluish or greenish gray...the pale blue of yours is so inspiring me!!! But it is such a big project painting pieces of this magnitude...so I think I shall wait for a rainy day to decide;)
Wow your blog is so fun!! I need to visit more often! I'm going to be painting some furniture myself in the coming weeks, yours came out great.
