New Hutch

I'm excited to share the cool new hutch I found at a local estate sale shop. I know that I've expressed my love for hutches and buffets before but I just love how retro hutches are great for additional storage, double as entertainment centers and oh yeah they work in dining rooms too. I had been hunting for a new one for some time now and kept missing out on finds on craigslist. I saw this and knew it was just what I was looking for. I have so little storage in my house so I loved that it had three doors of storage...plus the square hardware is probably my favorite thing about it. I have a tendency to be attracted to a mix of mid-century modern and traditional things...it's an interesting blend. This piece is solid wood, has a nice glass top and is in really great condition. These pictures were all taken with my cell phone so they are not the best.

I've decided to put it in my living room as an entertainment center and I moved my old refinished one into my basement. I love the storage it's great all my photo albums fit nicely in the shelves on the left; I can literally fit a ton of stuff in this thing!

The drawers are perfect for dvd's, remotes and all the other things I want to hide.

I'm thinking at some point in the future I might consider painting it...but for now I'm going to hold off. I want to give a lot of thought to the color and figure out what works best with my space. It's really in great shape as is and the wood is a complimentary color with my existing decor so for now it works!
